COMPLAINTS OF DELAY DENIED.

resident at oakland Cal, complains to THE
TRIBUNE that the daily overland mail has been de-
layd frequently Of lete, and that cattle trains on
the Union Pacific Railroad have been given the
right Of way The delay was SAID not to he un-
usual. and to excite untavorable comment on the
Pacific coast. Sidney Dillon president OF the Union
Pacific Railroad said Yesterday that there had been
occasionally in the last few months slight delays
IN the arrival of the trains at Ogden 1t was usual
for the Union Pacific and Central Pacific trains
TO make good the loss OF time the
other line in the arrival at Sacramento
or at Omaha. Trains stopped at Ogden
two hours usually and of course this time could be
greatly shortened in case of emergency. In a
few instances trains had arrived at Ogden, on the
Union Pacific Road, few hours late but these de-
laws had been caused in every case by unforeseen
accidents which were to be met with on every rail-
road Mr. Dillon said that there was the slightest
ground for the complaints it would be removed at
once.
In regard to the arrival of west-bound trains at
Sacramento. G. p Huntington, vice-presldent of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company, declared that II
there was railroad III the United States which was
run on schedule time that railroad was the Central
Pacific. In fact, orders bad been gwen to discharge
any conductor who brought in his train ten minutes
behind time, unless the delay was caused by some
arbitrary obstruction. 1t was the habit TO make M
time lost on the Union Pacific Road whenever it
was possible.

REPORTS ABOUT The WORLDS FAIR.

A statement was recently sent from this city and
gwen wide circulation to the effect that tits one
of the conditions Of the bill constituting the United
States International Commission that So, 900 600
also said that deputatiOn would re appointed soon
TO visit Washington and ask Congress TO extend the
time. This statement yesterday was pronounced
utterly unfounded by the secretary OF the Commits
sion. The bill does not specify any time when
there shall be aggregate of subscnp-
TONS nor does it fix any sum necessary to be sub
sciibed. ex ept that the last section, which was
suggested by Senator Edmunds, provides that not
less than 81 900 600 shall be subscribed. and Lot
less than 10 per centum thereof shall be paid III
before SAID corporation shall do any corporate act
other than the acts necessary to its organization
This means that no contracts for buildings and 80
forth eau be maize until 81 600 900 has been sub
scribed and least 81 1000 has been paid IN. The
bull also provides that 1t shall be the duty of the
Comm ssioners to open books for subscriptions to the
capital stock and keep them for sky days, at
the end of which time the memoers OF the
Commission shall be called together for the election
of permanent officers. The first meeting Of share
holders Is to take place at the same time. and
members of the Commission. who. together with the
executive officers of the Commission. are to conSl-
tute a Committee of Finance Ii is not necessary TO
the organization that there shall be any specified
sum subscribed. The subscription books were
opened November 10. and the meeting for organiza-
ton will therefore be held January 10.
w. L. Strong. who recently resigned as chairman
of the Executive Committee OF the Commission. has
resigned from the committee because me preferred
Central Park the for the fair, and because he
thought the time intervening between the present
and 1883 too short for proper preparations. Secre-
tary Price said yesterday that no other member OF
the committee had announced an intention TO follow
Mr. Strong's example He also said that there would
soon be important developments to show to the
public that the committee had pursued the proper
