The Chicago Board OF Trade and the
Railroads.

The following was adopted at the
meeting Of the Chicago board of trade
directors last Tuesday: 1.-THE board of
directors of the Chicago board of trade
has heretofore withheld an expression
OF opinion upon the merits or dement's
OF the organized system OF pooling rail-
way earnings between this city and the
east; has also refrained from criticism
upon what is known as the joint ex-
ecutive committee as managers OF said
railway pool, but it now declares that
the action Of said executive committee
on the 10th inst, in advancing the rail
way rates to the east five cents per 100
pounds. to take effect April 18th,
without giving the usual ten days.
notice, was in violation of the under
standing between the said executive
committee and the public, and a posi-.
tive breach Of faith toward the ship
ping trade. This board regards with
alarm such violation Of the policy
which had previously been announced
to the public by authority of said COM
mittes, as an arbitrary abuse of power,
and a. calculated to visit undeserved
and unavoidable hardship and loss
upon the great trade of the west when
ever tho within of this secret conclave
shall choose to enact 1t. The action of

The president told Mr.. French, act
ing second assistant postmaster general,
OH Tuesday, that the reckless and un-
lawful expenditure of the public money
on the Star route must have been
known to those occupying subordinate
positions of trust in the Office of the
second assistant postmaster general and
In his opinion the public service dc.
manded that subordinates should not
c~ountenance or conceal such inexcus-
able waste Of the government funds by
their silence. The remark of the
president is understood to apply with
greater force to the sixth auditor of the
treasury, through whose Office all the
accounts Of the Star route contractors
passed, and who also failed to call atten-
tion in his annual reports to the facility
with which the second assistant post
master general was getting rid of mil
lions of dollars, with evidence before
him Of this lawless expenditures.

THE Missouri river, Mt Atchison,
Kans., is twenty-one feet seven inches
above low water mark; nearly the whole
river bottom opposite the city is sub
merged; many houses in east Atkinson
have been flooded, but the main portion
Of the town Is in no danger; all railroads
Terminating there have been cut off,
excepting the Atchison, Topeka i
Santa Fe and the central branch of the
Union Pacific. The ice houses of
Plankington & Armour, at Sugar Lake,
about Eve miles from the city, tumbled
into the lake Tuesday afternoon, and
those Of Woods Bros, also of Kansas
City, fell in on Saturday. The old
residents in Missouri, opposite Atchison,
say the flood equals that Of AZ. The
river had risen about six inches on
Tuesday, but is now about stationary,
and 1t is believed the worst is over.

A DESIsoN. Texas, dispatch says;
A rumor prevails here that Gov. Over
ton, Of the Indian nation, north of
here, was killed last Sunday. The
rumor Is discredited, but owing to the
fact that the governor has been in the
field with his militia for some time driv-
ing out t~respassers, and has thereby in
Cured the enmity Of a large number OF
cowboys and others. 1t is thought by
some that the report may be well

avowed purpose OF giving battle to
