CHICAGO, November 27.-The Tribune
says: Although all parties interested, by
their denials have set at rest the story OF
the consolidation of the Vanderbilt roads
with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
roads, yet the two latter powerful combi-
nations are perfecting arrangements which
will shortly result in a union. This will
make q strong team. The Burlington is
making ready to extend its line in Nebraska
to Denver, and is also prepared to build
from Denver to Ogden. If the Central
Pacific does moi unite with the Union Pa
cifc, no further roads will be bnilt 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
q line straight to Denver, and the combi-
nation will thus have two routes to the
Pacific Coast from Chicago. Another route
will be by the Atchison, Kansas City, At
lantic and Pacific, or the Tooth parallel to
| the coast, and besides this there is an out
let via Mexico to the Gulf of California,
which makes a great saving OF travel to
| Japan, Australia and South America. The
Atchison also has a through route to the
| City Of Mexico. 1t is well established that
| this combination will be effected in the
| near future. The information by tele-
graph last night regarding the consolida-
| ton OF the Atchison q Burlington roads,
| comes from the highest official sources,
| AID there is no doubt that these two rich
and strong corporations will now set about
| their opposition to Gould in q determined
| and successful manner. The move is not
merely q stock-jobbing scheme, but a legit-
innate business proceeding, entered upon
to make money steadily and for all time.
The staid and solid Boston stockholders Of
the two roads are not given to immatured
or impracticable schemes, and when they
get into anything like this it means bust
ness. The almost endless connections Of
these two roads will tend to enrich still
more the stockholders. The plans are not
fully matured, but there seems to be no
doubt that they will shortly be.
Garfield Gives the "Tow.path
Club" n Cool Reception.
CHICAGO, November 27.-The Times
Washington correspondent says: Allud-
ing to the cool reception by Garfield Of the
Tow-path Club, says: These blooming,
fresh water idiots had cards specially
printed for the occasion, with the title In
full Of First Deckhand," etc., printed
after each precious owners name. One
may imagine Garfeld's feelings when he
was called from his library by q servant
with a dozen of these cards. The reception
he gave his friends was absolutely glacial.
he CURLY nodded to them standing. not
even asking them to sit down. One OF the
spokesman feebly tried to say he was glad
to see that the Garfield canal boat was fin
ally entering the last lock, when Garfield
shut him off with such q stern look that
the speaker choked in the middle of q word
and was almost ~strangled. Gradually it
began to dawn upon the callers that they
were not pleasant companions, and they
crept away, hoping, as they went, that they
had not intruded. A first deck hand
summed up the reception by answering an
inquiry,
"How were you received p I'D cold"
General Garfield said afterward to q
friend that he had no patience with such
idiocy. He was not ashamed Of his having
been q canal boy, neither was 1t a matter Of
boasting. 1t was o mere incident In his
life. Of the least Importance in shaping his
after career.
The New Chinese Treaty to be
Closely scrutinized.
PHILADELPHIA, November 27.-The Even
ing Telegraph, Republican, says: The very
large portion Of our citizens who are di-
rectly and indirectly in the China trade,
will do exceedingly well to closely scruti-
nize any bargain that may have been con-
cluded between the Chinese Commissioners
aud the Pekin people. before they make up
their minds to permit it's ratification by
the Senate without q vigorous protest.
Certainly those who think that the COM
mercial advantages which the Burlingame
Treaty gives rs are Of very much more &C.
count from every point Of view, than the
question whether or no the people Of Cali
fornia or elsewhere, who may choose to
employ Chinese cheap labor instead Of
Irish or Swedish or German, or any other
sort OF cheap labor, shall be prohibited
from exercising their choice in the freest
possible manner owe 1t to themselves and
the true principles Of Republicanism. that
they demand that the State Department
shall not hurry the two treaties said to
have been concluded at Pekin before the
Senate, with an urgent demand for their
instant ratification before it affords an OPP
portunity for . full, free and sufficient dis
cussion Of their merits and dement's out
side Of the Senate chamber.
