RAILROAD INTERESTS.
MEETING OF WESTERN MANAGERS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-At the opening
OF second meeting this morning OF railroad managers
Mr. Potter, general OF the Burlington ana Mis-
sour road offered the following resolution, which
adopted:
It seems this meeting that the several roads now
In the traffic between the Eastern staes and
Pacific should be worked In harmony and upon
equal rates.
This resulted in tho formation OF committee,
composed solely OF the freight managers, with In
strnctions to devise plan whereby the earnings
might be pooled and distributed among them In such a
proportion AS would be equitable 10 all. The confer
ence then adjourned TO Monday next. Among outside
raroaders the feeling gained ground that the North
ern Pacific Road viii continue to maintaiu
the independent position attributed to 1t, relying
upon tho good Offices Of the Union Pacific Road to
tam It In its demands. All the more that sin
be extracted from the Central Pacific Road
against when the light Is chiefly directed.
So much the better for these two particular
roads Besides this the Northern Pacific representatives
know that they have better ona"ce 10 mako good
bargain than they would have after disastrous
