thsr minds on very dimsy prstexis
ANY man who does change his mind
ought to be capable Of giving the couu.
try satisfactory reasons for that change. .
The warmth Of Loesn's reply aroused
. the senate, and an animated debate d
, expected when the bill shall be oalled
up. Gen. Haviey, who has been counted
as among the friends Of Porter, says be
has thoroughly examined the case, and
believes Logan IL right, and shall vote
! with him.
Other Matters Of Interest.
Congress appears disposed to renew
the agitation respecting the Northern
Pacific land grant, and this will un-
favorabiy influence spectators in that
property.
| A discussion of the tarif'questions will
indirectly affect coal shares, and alto
gether the outlook for a rising market
Is not satisfactory. Even if the railroad
war should be settled, it is probable the
market Will not be active, but there will
he very little opportunity for outsiders
to operate with any degree of success.
Reports from San Francisco say Col.
Dewinton denies the Marquis of Lorne
asked an escort for the trip over the
Southern Pacific.
w. II. Vanderbilt denies he is inter-
ested in a scheme of direct traffic from
New York to Philadelphia, over line
to unto the New York Central, Penn
sylvania and Ohio, and Reading. The
contract was made between this road,
known as the Jersey Shore
Pine Greek and Buffalo road,
The Central and the Reading Railroad,
by which traffic between the two last
named rsads was to be exclusively en-
tercharged. Vanderbilt said tonight
1T is true, am building the the Pine
Creek roae to connect with the Reading.
1t gives the Central line to the Penn
sylvania coal fields, where We want to
get coal. We had to build because that
business was taken away from US by
| the Lackawanna extension to Buffalo,
it had to be done to protect our coal in
terests. As to the talk about my want
| ling direct business from New York to
Philadelphia, it is too ridiculous. The
Reading people were not party to the
contract at ALL
1t is denied that Abbey intends to
| withdraw Mrs. Langtry from the stage
on account OF the gossip, of which nine
tenths ls nonsense and the rest exagger-
| ated. She has done q splendid business
| in Boston, so far.
The Innocens Spencer.
WATEErowN, Dec. Ex-senator
Spencer left here Saturday in sleigh
| to visit friends, mostly distant from
railroads and telegraphs, and is blocked
by snow, several feet deep. DIR. Spencer,
his brother, says the Ex Senator will
| reach Osceola. He is mining at White
Pine, Nevada, and elsewhere. He visit
ed New York last spring, left his family
there at great expense, and allowed him
self to be subpoenaed. He reported to
the Government Counsel, Bliss. after a
| week or two, and urged that he be called.
Bliss ignored the request. He was un-
able to get u personal interview again,
and having been kept waiting several
weeks, went back to Nevada and never
| once evadsd process. He has not been
officially informed of his removal from
the Government Dictatorship of the
Union Pacific. He cares nothing for it. |
Never saw any transaction or heard talk
of Dorsey and Brady, and he 30 told the
Government Counsel, and also told his
brother that he had no further time 10
fool away.

About Rrcights.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Clipper freights
remain very much as heretofore report
cd, and it is not likely there will be any
| change during the remainder of the

of the year depends upon the action of
| tho meeting of representatives OF the
Union and Central Pacific, AtohisOn,
Topeke d Santa Fe, the Iowa pool and
Eastern trunk lines, which convenes in
this city today for the purpose Of ad
| justing the difference existing between
these lines in relation to the division of
rates upon California contracts as not
cd last week. Shippers are much dis
satisfied, and it il probable that many
of them may withdraw from their con-
tracts and resume shipments via Cape
Horn. Rates are unchanged.
