The Railroad Managers Agreed.
SAN Francesca, Sept. 20.-The rail-
road managers Of the lines west OF the
Missouri River, at to-day's meeting,
practically closed their labors by the
adoption Of an agreement in substance
as follows: Portland and San Francisco
are to be common points, taking the
same rates TO and from the East. The
Northern Pacific is to make the same
through rates to San Francisco via Port
land that other roads make to San Fran.
cisco direct, and the latter are to make
the same through rates to Portland via
San Francisco that the Northern Pacific
makes to Portland direct. All lines are
to maintain the present regular rates, ex-
cept as notifications may hereafter be
mutually agreed upon. A commissioner
is to be appointed, empowered to settle
all disputed points and enforce Aha pen.
atty On any company violating the
agreement. The Northern Pacific
is given some advantages nsrth
of the California State line to points
other than to Portland and Astoria, and
to other lines are given corresponding
advantages TO points in California other
than San Francisco. The agreement
goes into effect the first OF next month,
and expires by limitation December 81,
1854, but is terminable auy time Oh
ninety days notice from any of the
companies. No commissioner was Sc
lected, but the appointment will be
made as soon as possible. 1t is the
opinion Of railroad managers outside of
the Northern Pacific representatives,
that the practical working of the ar
rangement will be to coniine the North
ern Pacific to its own territory, as that
road cannot afford to pay water freights
between Portland and San Francisco,
which, under the agreement, it will be
obliged to do, aud, in addition. break
bulk at Porilund, if they seek to divert
business to and from Californ from the
old overland routes. No changes have
been made in through rates; that is to
say, the Northern Puciiic has adopted
the same rates for through freight to
Portland as those which have been in
existence on the other roads from the
Fast to San Francisco The question of
the control Of the Atlantic & Pacific was
not raised, an understanding on this
point having been previously reached
between the Southern Pacific and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe roads,
who between them hold nearly all the
stock. The roads outside of the North
ern Pacific will, among themselves, con-
tinue to maintain the same proportion
of the distribution of through earnings
that has hitherto existed
