GENERAL p.-ss nrv,sw.

lous on the subject. II we have any opinion
al all corcgrning the matter, II IS that Gould
aud Huntington are working together and
iutolligen;ly pursuinga plan OF apparent OPP
position and enmity TO accomplish n
great end. The Arkansas Gazette
that assumes 10 know more and generally
knows lees than any newspaper in all the
country, says;
The contest bet Seen Huntington aud
Gould for supremacy la tho tra,s-COhtl'
mental trade wakes warm. From PnllHdel-
phia comes the rep ,rt tuat Mr.. Gould had
signed "a preliminary agreement WIN The
representatives of the Atlanlic ~ Pac1c Tor
union under this company OF the Texas ~
Pacific, Atchisun atd Union Pacific inter
ests, as against the Central and Southern Pa
cific companies." This report Is sald to have
been received with great Indignation by Mr
Huntington, who thoroupon pledged his
thirty or forty millions to the oSlersoh %.
the Central Pacific eastward parallel with
the Union Pacific il the Union Pacific inter-
est was to mako any war on his llnes." This
statement is characterized by tho Memphis

DINO when the Burlington s. Quincy and
Denver & Rio Gfande are said 10 be mr..

Ogden, there to connect with tho Central
Pacific, aud therefore has some plausibilty
But Mr.. Huntington made arrangements
some time ago with the Galveston, Harris
burg d San Antonio. looking to tho comp.o-
ton Of that road TO a junction with the
Southern Pacific in the neghborhood of EI
Paso. This looked very like hostile move
ment to the Texas & Pacific and the Atch>
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe interests, and il lie
not entirely improbable that Mr.. Gould may
have been forming n league to prevent com
petition in trans continental traffic.
We don't know that anybody has the re.
hottest idea, even in the remote future, of
