modore Hughes received a telegram yester-

vate dock yards This morning Naval Con-
stfuctor Webb examined the ship, and re-
ported to the Commodore that she would be
able to reach Baltimore without any danger
of sinking. Upon receipt of Webb's report
! Commander Miller was Immediately dis
patched to order her out OF the dock.
Report Confirmed.
CHICAGO, November 26th-The informa-
| ton teleeraphed to the press tonight regard
ing consolidation of the Atchison and Bur
! lineton roads comes from the highest official
sources, and there is no doubt that these two
rich and strong corporations will now set
| about their opposition to Gould in deter
mined and successful manner. The move is
not merely stock-iob5ing scheme, but a
| legitimate business proceeding entered upon
to make money steadily and for all time.
The staid and solid stockholders OF the two
roads are not given to unmatured or i'm.
practicable schemes, and when they get into
anything like this it means business. The
almost endless connections Of these two roads
will tend to enrich still more the stockhold
ers. The plans are not fully matured, but
there seems to be no doubt that they viii
shortly be.

has been appointed General Passenger Agent
of the Union Pacific Railroad in this city.

ties interested by their denials have set al
rest the story of a consolidation Of the Van
/ derbilt roads with the Chicago. Burlington
and Quincy and Atehison and Santa Fe roads
yet the two latter powerful combinations are
perfecting arrangements which will shortly
result in a union. This will make a strong
team. Burlington is ready to extend its line
! in Nebraska to Denver, and IS also prepared te
build from Denver to Ogden. If the Central
/ Pacific does not unite with the Union Pacific,
no further western roads win be built by The
BprIinpton system: but il it does unite
