Pacific Coast Railroad Business
CHICAGO, November 9th.-It seems to be
definitely settled that arrangements previous
ly made by which the business to the Pacific
coast is to be taken at the same rates via all
routes are to be modified The understand
ing is now that the Central Pacific and North.
ern Pacific are to divide the territory-the
former to control the business to San Fran
cisco and California points, and the latter
the business to Portland snd Oregon and
Washington Territory points. Thus the
Northern Pacific will have to charge higher
rates to San Francisco than the direct lines,
| and San Francisco lines will charge higher
rate to Portland and Oregon and Washington
Territory points. This will enable the Central
Pacific to continue the present contract sys.
tenn in California freight. and will allow the
Northern Pacific to make such contracts as
it chooses with shippers at points within its
own territory. The arrangement applies to
the freight traffic also. The Northern Pa
cific, under the new arrangement, will carry
all freight for Portland, and all points in the
northwest and the other Pacific coast lines
will carry to San Francisco and adjacent ter
ritory. Whenever q shipper chooses to send
freight to San Francisco via Portland, or to
| Portland via San Francisco. the local rates
| between those points must be prepaid.
Freight now in transit is excepted from the
agreement.

The Negro scare In Virginia.
NORFOLK, November 9sh.-While the peo.
pie of Southampton county are spprehensive
of an outbreak of negroes, kilograms are re-
ceived from Portsmouth asking assistance in
the event of trouble. The Mayor has 8
posse Of citizens ready If the summons comes
Yesterday q drunken negro told the servant
Of a white family that at II o'clock last night
thousand negroes intended to slay every
white in Southampton county. The whites
at Newsons, Franklin, Boykins and Branch
vile sent scouts to learn what was going on.
1t is noticeable that not q negro is seen in the
usual places. This gave additional color to
the report, and the women and children were
taken to the woods and guarded. kilograms
state that the negroes who work at the rail-
road stations have not been seen since yes
terday afternoon. People are preparing to
defend their homes. Thus far no trouble is
known, and it is impossible to say whether
there are just grounds existing for the excite
ment. Southampton county was the scene,
years before the war, of bloody slave insur.
rection, and it is not improbable that the
traditions of that tirie have something to dc
with the prevailing apprehensions.
