Railroad Affairs.
New YORK, June lst.-Railroad affairs are
in statu quo, pending the meeting next week
of representatives of the roads interested in
through freight to the Pacific coast. Some
of them are now here, but nothing will be
done until the arrival of Mr.. Stubbs of the
Central Pacific.
NEw York, June 1st-Sidney Dillon said
that he had been refreshed by his trip. al
! though it had been made simply on account
of the business of the company The only
| dark spot on the horizon is right down there
in Wall street. In regard to the Threatened
refusal of the trunk lines to prorate on Cali
foruia business, Dillon said he had tele.
| graphed to Commissioner Fink to withdraw
the notice until he returned. 81 have not
had time to-day, of course, to see Fink about
| the matter" he added, "but / shall confer
with him in few days. I do not know what
effect the ordsr would have on our traffic if it
should be carried into effect, but think not
very much. hope, however, that the trunk
lines will not take this action. Our earnings
compare favorable with those of last year.
but an explanation is easy. The falling off
is in gross receipts, while the net earnings
are larger. Under the pooling arrange
ment with the Southern Pacific, that route
to receive 40 per cent, our line 60
per cent. of through business, last year
the southern routs hardly did % per
cent. We carried the freight, but the other
lines got their share of the money. This year
the southern line is approaching its percent
age, and our gross earnings consequently are
falling eff, but orr net earnings are really
larger than they were last year" Concern.
ing the construction of the Oregon Short
Line, Dillon said he had recsived dispatches
from the Assistant General Manager stating
that II 700 feet of track was laid on Tues.
day, to point within 22A miles of Stoshone.
The distance from Granger on the line of the
U MON Pacific to Shoshone is 322 miles. An
additional branch, 81 miles long, from Sho-
shone to Haley, on Wood er, is in opera
tion. That branch road is doing a first class
business &lready. The Wood river country is
opening up wonderfully. | think it is the
finest undeveloped n.ining country there is
left. The Short Line will be completed
through to connection with the Oregon Rail.
way at Snake river by the 1st of January.
Railroad In Contempt.
DENVER, June 1st.-In the United States
District Court this morning, Judge Hallett
delivered an opision in the case OF the Den
yer and New Orleans Railroad Company
against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad Company, TO show cause why it
should not be ia contempt for violating the
decree made some time since, compelling the
latter road to exchange business with the
former on the same terms as with the Den
yer and Rio Grande road. The Judge held
that in changing the divisions on through
business, and in diverting business from the
plaintiffs road, the Santa Fe road was in con.
tempt, end fines them 800 for each case Of
freight diverted and further, that defendant
must give to plaintiff their full proportion of
through rates, in scc ordance with the divis-
ions in force at the time the former decree
went into effect-April 13 (which latter
rates were teld to be not unreasonable, and
thst the attempt of defendants road to de.
prive plaintiff s road of its revenue by chang
log the division of through rates ss in vio-
lation of the decree of the Court.

personal aud political service. Ths affront
intended by their action is not upon me, but
upon the psople who have elected me, and is
