Transcontinental Traffic.

Chicago, 10.-A prominent rail-
road man, who has just returned
from Topeka, gives the following
details of the result of the meeting
of the TIanscontinental association
and the arrangements entered into
with regard tos overland passenger
and freight traffic: The aggressive
interference Of the Northern Pacific
company IN the special contract
system on through freight has been
highly Objectionable to the Central
Pacific, since it has threatened to
seriously disturb one of its schemes.
1t was therefore desired, after full
discussion Of the subject, that the
territory should be divided, Cali
fornia being assigned to the south
eTly lines and Oregon, Washington
Territory and British Columbia 20
the northern routes. Quotations
of rates by the southerly
lines are to cease at
San Francisco and by the northerly
lines at Portland on business for
California, thus all freight and pas
sengers passing between Portland
and San Francisco will pay estab-
lished ocean charges in addition to
through rates to Portland, and
points on Puget sound are named
only by northern roads and rates to
California by southern roads only.
So far as shippers are concerned,
this division of territory appears at
once vast AID equable. The traffic
of the coast is situated at San Fran
cisco, and naturally San Francisco
remains the supply department for
California, and Portland assumes
the place of a distributing point for
the northwest.
