CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The Tri6une's special
says: Although all parties interested Dy
their denials have set at rest the story OF the
consolidation of the Vanderbilt roads with
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and Atch-
ison, Topeka IL Santa Fe railroads, yet the
two latter powerful combinations are perfect
ing arrangements which will shortly result IN
a union. This will make a strong team II the
Burlington is ready to extend its line IL Ne
braska TO Denver and is also prepared 70 pullu
from Denver to Ogden. If the Central Pa
ciic does not unite with the Union Pacific no
further western roads will be built by the
Burlington system, but if it does unite, then
the Boston owners of the Burlington intend
TO build a line straight through to the Pacific
coast, The Atchison road has a line straight
TO Denver, and the combination will thus
have two routes to the Pacific coast from CHI
caco, Another route will be by the Atchison,
Kansas CITY, Atlantic u Pacific, on the Tooth
%parallel, to the coast, and besides tins there IS
| an outlet via Mexico to the gulf OF Calltor'
MIA. which makes a great saving for travel tc
Japan, Australia and South America. The
Atchison also has a through route to the City
of Mexico. 1t is we'll understood that the
combination will be effected in the near I'LL
ture.
The information telegraphed in the pres
repsrt tonight regarding the consollaalioh 0
the Atchison and Burlington roads comes
from the highest official sources, and there !
no doubt that these two rich and powerful
corporations will now set about their opposl
ton to Gould in a determined and successful
manner. 1t is not merely a stockjobbin
scheme, but a legitimate business proceedin
entered upon to make msney steadily and 10
all time. The staid and solid Boston stocb
holders of tbs two roads are not given to I'm
matured or impracticable schemes, and whe
they get into anything like this it = means pu

these two roads will tend to enrich still MOI

Address TO Garfield.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Horace White
and r. w, Withridge, representing the INT e.
pendent republicans of New York, toe ay
presented Gen. Garfield an address congra u
lating him on his election, which sealed he
approval of the principles he had advoca led,
and promised HIM support in carrying them
out. They gave him their cordial support be-
cause of his avowed and determined advoca-
cy OF civil service reform. They dwelt on
the danger CT the quadrennial election Of the
president when the spoils are the reward of
party supremacy. 1t continues: No other
government exposes its trusted servants to
begging on the hazard of an election. Abuses
of half a ~century's growth are not reformed
in a day. We believe, however, that public
opini n is in advance of any reform in civil
service hitherto attempted, and that you may
safely establish rules for entrance to all SUBJ
ordinate positions which shall make ascer-
| tanned merit the sole test of appointment, dis
cardlng both partisan service and party affli-
| atisn from the list of qualifications. In this
way a new basis may be gradually gained for
| civil service to rest upon, so that hereafter
the political party in its power and triumph
shall not look upon public offices as an enc.
my's camp, subject 10 indiscriniuate pillage,
If the civil service shall receive the same
statesmanlike treatment at your hands as
president that you nave bestowed upon II as Q
member of congress and public teacher, you
will be entitled to the gratitude of you coun
trymen and to a verdict which history awards
to those who have wisely used a great oppor
