CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-R. R. Gable, presi-
dent of the Minneapolis & st. Louis rail-
road, being directed to the statement of
President Mitchell, of the Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad, that the latter company
proposed to its rivals arbitration of the
difference which caused the existing war,
said: "The difference to which 1 suppose
Mr.. Mitchell alludes is to the division Of
south bound business from Minneapolis
and st. Paul, between the Milwaukee q St.
Paul line, the Chicago & Northwestern
line, and the Omaha line, and Minneapolis
q st. Louis, Burlington, Cedar Rapids d
Northern, and Rock Island lines. The last
named line demanded one-third of the
freight business from Minneapolis and 20
per cent. from st. Paul. The other lines
have steadily refused this demand. No
proposition to arbitrate has been made by
the other lines to the Minneapolis & St.
Louis, or to the lines of which it forms a
part. They have not, to my knowledge,
even named the proposition in which they
are willing the business should be divided"

S. S. Merrill, general manager, to H. H.
Porter, president: Are you disposed to
agree with me to continue, subject to fair
notice from either side, the present agreed
rates to and from all common points and
all adjacent points in common territory?
Or do you prefer that all agreements re-
garding rates to and from such points shall
terminate on the 10Th, when you propose
to end the east bound pool?
TO which Porter on the same day tele-
graphed reply as follows: ''My Judge
ment is to have everything off everywhere.
There is no good sense in any undertak-
ings that do not cover everything and
everybody, and it's better to have it out
now all around, not only in rates and di-
visions, but territory as well. I go in for
the lowest rates,and legislation this winter
to enforce them, if necessary. The pres
ent policy I consider ruipous and the sooner
it comes the soonest mended.

Prospect of a Compromise.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-The Sun says ex-
traordinary efforts were made in this city
yesterday to effect compromise between
the warning roads. They were made prin-
cipally by Jay Gould, and with the assis-
lance, advice and support, it is said, OF

most influential OF his associ Les
in railroad mana cement. So far as could
be learned step toward q cessation OF
hostilities was taken. Mr.. Gould professed
to hold last evening pledges from the man.
agement OF the several roads to attend a
conference. President Fl. II. Porter, of
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Oma-
ha railway said last evening that
he was willing to go into a con-
ference with the other roads,
in the Northwest on the one question of
territory, and with the understanding that
any points that could not be settled by a
conference should be submitted to arbi-
tration. Whether all the other roads have
assented to this proposition could
not be learned, The Milwaukee and
st. Paul is the only one to which
the proposition stands as an accusation.
The tenor of the answer to President
Mitchell, of the st. Paul road, to Mr..
Gould, who processes to hold pledges for
conference, could not be learned, but if
he has agreed to meet all the other roads,
it must be according to Mr.. Porter, upon
the terms mentioned.

IMr. HMghitt Interviewed.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-Mr. Marvin Hugh
lit, general manager of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad company, IN con
versation late this afternoon, said that
there was absolutely no business transacted
at the meeting of the executive committee
except that of going through the mere
form of declaring the usual dividends. He
had not been advised as yet from Chicago
of the last cut in rates, but the North
western stood ready to meet all reductions
as the come.y There have been no confer
enoes to-day concerning the railroad war.
and no meeting is called for the future
that he knows of. This war must, of course,
have termination, said Mr.. Hugitt, but
how soon 1t will come cannot say. All I can
state tonight is that we are one day nearer
a settlement. The strength of stocks at
the close was due to report freely circu-
lated in the stock exchange that the rail-
way troubles had been adjusted.

and to defame its officers with the hope of
securing acquittal and escape of the worst
band of organized scoundrels that ever ex-
listed since the commencement of the gov
eminent. Very respectfully,
TSigned BENJAMIN HARRIS BREWSTER,
Attorney General.
The summary action of the president
to-day has given rise to rumors as to what
may be expected in the same light in
future. One point upon which rumor
seems to agree is the removal of District
Attorney Corkhill and the substitution of
Geo. Bliss, of New York, in his stead.
Postmaster Anger says he has no
knowledge whatever of what the report of
the attorney general is, besides my own
theory of the case is that Tidball, late one
of the special agents Of the department of
justice, and now United States
marshal of Arizona, who
has been a personal enemy of mine
dating from matters back in the
Indiana campaign, has prejudiced
the minds of Bliss and
Brewster Cameron and persuaded them to
believe I was in some way friendly to de-
PENDANTS, and through them, the mind
of the attorney general has been preju-
diced. It may be possible that man
absolutely innocent and disconnected with
this whole matter as have been, may be
called to suffer for ofenses and sins of
others, but never shall believe such a
thing possible, till the president
dominates my successor. To be removed
in company with those against whom
grave charges have been made conveys
with it stigma that won't rest under
without demanding an opportunity for
vindication. If I had been arrested for
crime committed in San Francisco could
