Padded CabIegrams.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Central News
Association of London is the correspondent
for a so-called news association here. In
stating his view Of q ''fair expansion Of
dispatches" the manager Of the Central
News Association said: "We send points
Of intelligence in thirty words, OF which
the American papers make two columns"
The Herald correspondent adds: The
spectators received this with loud laughter,
and enjoyed the assurance Of the juvenile
sub-editor, who said he filled up all
foreign dispatches by reference to books,
documents. kilograms and personal knowl-
edge. F. X. Shoemaker, who makes up
some "cable" from dispatches sent here by
the Central News Association, was asked If
he was the party who ''pads out" the dis
patches spoken of. He answered that the
cables he received were not padded to the
extent testified to by Mr.. Saunders in Lon
don, but were filled out to some extent.
The whole business attracts the attention
here of reputable and responsible makers
of newspapers.
The Veterans Receive Gen. Sherman
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.--About 1000 mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic
rendered Gen. Sherman an informal recep-
ton this evening. Gen. Henry A. Bar
mum presided. Gen. Sherman made a
long address. After thanking his old
comrades for their hearty welcome, he said
he had responded to the call, though it
was not customary to celebrate ones W
funeral. He would rather meet the old
soldiers face to face than any of Your Van
derbilts or other nabobs. Gen. Sherman
spoke Of the war and its results, and add
ed: ''Since the close of the war a new
generation has sprung up. Boys not then
born are now voters. The destiny of the
nation had been taken out of our hands.
We are now comparatively a small minor
ity. 1t is we'll, however, that we should
assemble together and keep alive the pa
triotism of those days, the memory Of
hardships endured; the memory Of dear
companions whose bodies lie beneath
Southern battle-felds; we'll to tell the
story Of those days over again to each
other, and to tell it to your children and
children's children at the Preside, that
they may make known how the country
was saved and who saved it. At one time
l doubted the ~advisability of forming or
keeping up such a n organization as the
Grand Army Of the Republic, but l am
now convinced that you did well in organ
izing such an association.
Wiping Ont Competitive Points.
CHICAGO, Nov. "a private dispatch
was received here to-day from St. Paul,
from John Muir, General Traffic Manager
of the Northern Pacific, in which he says:
taking effect yesterday, we withdraw
from the California business, and the
Southern lines withdraw all business north
Of San Francisco" No explanation Of the
reasons for this action are given, but it is
supposed to be the result of a secret con-
ference among the representatives Of the
roads in the TranscontineDtal Association
at Topeka during the past three days, they
having failed to reach an agreement as to
q division Of the competitive territory at
the late Chicago meeting. Heretofore the
Northern Pacific has claimed the right to
land passengers from the East at San
Francisco via Portland at the same rate as
the other Pacific roads charged by direct
route; and the other Pacific roads in turn
claimed the right to land Eastern passen-
gers at Portland via San Francisco at the
same rate as charged by the Northern Pa
citic. The new arrangement takes both
Portland and San Francisco out of the
competition, and leaves the trip between
points by the Oregon Steamship & Naviga-
ton line to be paid for at local rates.
The arrangement applies to freight traf-
fc also. The Northern Pacific, under the
new arrangement, will carry all freight
for Portland and all points in the North
west, and the other Pacific Coast lines will
carry to San Francisco and adjacent ter
ritory. Whenever a shipper chooses to
9 freight to San Francisco via Portland,
or to Portland via San Francisco, local
rates between those points must be pre-
paid. The freight now in transit ia ex-
cepted from this agreement.
An Uprising Feared.
NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 9.-The white people
Of Southampton county are apprehensive
Of an outbreak among the negroes. Tele-
grams have been received at Portsmouth
asking for assistance in the event of
trouble. The Mayor has a posse of citi-
zens ready if a summons comes. Yesterday
. drunken negro told the servant of a
white family that at IL o'clock last night
1000 negroes intended to slay every white
in Southampton county. The whites at
Newsoms, Franklin. Boykin's Depot and
Branchville sent scouts to learn what was
going on. 1t was noticeable that not q
negro was seen in the usual places. This
gave additional color to the report, and
the women and children were taken to the
