RAILWAYSNOTES.
The Trunk Lines Conference.

At the April conference OF the trunk lines
| new legislation was adopted, looking to the
prevention Of general disregard Of the east
| bound freight schedule This legislation needs
compile tion in detail. Much work Is before
the managers in the preparation OF uniform
instructions TO be given to the general man.
ayers OF the fast freight lines for the carrying
out oil the regulations of the joint executive
committee. IL Is expected that these general
managers will be present. The success of
their proposed labors is Of great Importance as
regards the averting of war OF rates this
summer. On this account much will depend
upon the attitude Of the Grand Trunk Of
Canada. At the April meeting only the
Chicago and Grand Trunk were represented,
but it vas stated subsequently that the Grand
Trunk managers had assented to the action Of
the meeting. Railroad men, Monday, were
In doubt as to how the Grand Trunk would
act at yesterdays meeting. Its relations with
the Lackawanna new trunk line, which de-
clines to join tbs pool, suggested the possi-
bility that 1t might not cooperate with the
other roads. 1t is understood that proof of
cutting rates by not only the Grand Trunk
system but the Erie have been obtained by
their rivals. 1t Is announced from Montreal
that the Great Eastern freight line running
OF the Grand Trunk system has perfected its
summer connections with the Allan and Do
minion lines. The position OF the Grand
Trunk Ia more important than that of the
The Great Eastern Freight Line.
Composed of the Chicago and Grand
Trunk Railroads, are making prep
arations for rapid transit of freight across the
ocean in connection with the Allan line of
steamers, the first Of which left Montreal yes
terday. The roads have perfected arrange
ments to meet the steamers OF the Allan line,
and will probably start export trains OF refrig-
orator cars daily from Chicago to connect at
Montreal with the Allan and Dominion lines
OF steamers. In addition they are taking traf-
hc to New York over the Lackawanna and 10
Boston over the Central Vermont.

mas driven them TO their RtrongholdH III the
Sierra Madres. The Apache question viii
hever oe settled while they ressia ths aes dr.
Tie Sonora people think the Indian agents en-
courage the Indians to leave their reservation
70 depredate and steal in Sonora, carrying
back their plunder to the reservation TO ex-
change for arms and ammunition. The re-
movai or determination OF the Apaches Is the
only solution OF the trouble. Gen. Topatz has
confidence in Crooks ability TO conquer the
renegades Tie hopes the United States Gov
ernment will appreciate the difficulty and hard
ships. they are now encountering.
Tidings from Crooks Command
Ell PAso, Tex. May 15.--The Times has the
following from Guadaoupe, Canon, Arizona,
dated May 10: From this point TO Nugate and
Tor corresponding distance east, various
camps and pickets of the command have been
scouting ever since the first Of the month
when Gen. Crook crossed the line into Mixico.
Crook is supposed TO be very near Hornets
Nest by this time and il is fair to suppose that
the Mexican allies have joined bis command
Isolated ranches and prospectors hereabouts
are Keeping close TO the various camps for fear
Of being attacked by Chircahuaus, who have
endeavored to escape the environment and
make their way north. There many
vague runors OF an engagement having al
ready taken place.
The Choctaw Nation and their Freedmen.
ST. LOUIS, May i5.--A special session OF the
Choctaw indian Council met at Armstrong
Academy, al the capital of the Nation, yester-
day, having been called by principal Chief Nc
Curtin TO consider the freedman question BY
the treaty of 1865. between the Federal Gov
ernment and Confederate Indians, the Choc-
taws and Chickasaws agreed to emancipate and
give the usual rights 10 the coiored people In
their nation within two years, for which the
United States was TO give them 100000. If
they failed to adopt them in that time the
money was 10 be used to remove and settle
them elsewhere. The Choctaws failed to
adopt them and the Government to move
them, and they have been there ever since
without either citizenship rights or title TO the
land they work. The Choctaws now de-
sire TO adopt them, aud il Is for this purpose
the council was called.
Proposed Raid by the Crees stopped.
HELENA, Mont, May 15.-The expected adj
vance Of large war party OF Northern Crees
into Montana has been stopped by the mount
ed police of Fort Wabash OF the Northwest
Territory, aud by the action OF Gen. Ruger of
this district every effort will be made By the
Canadian forces 10 confine the Crees to their
own country. No further danger is anticipated
from struggling bands now. This side OF the
border will also be placed under surveillance
when they reach the reservation.
