to Chicago will begin several weeks
before that date" Entering upon anotnef
branch Of the subject the War Department
man said: Carpet knights, who have
been attached TO Sherman and who have
been stationed here for several years, are
greatly disturbed by reason Of the impend-
change. Several of them have been
in Washington for years, drawing Colonels
pay, when, in fact, they are Captains. and
they dislike very much to go back TO their
regiments. They are Of the social class
here and they draw 5000 q year. They
do not contemplate with equanimity IRE
ducsion to 81, 800 and Punishment to the
frontier. Sheridan will probably bring
his staff from Chicago, and although " Is
probable that several Of Sherman's CLERKS
will be taken care Of, there are several
who will have to resume proper rank ana
place in the field.
A War Of Railroads.
CHICAGO, Aug. THE Tribune says the
conflict between the Union Pacific and the
Denver & Rio Grande, regarding the Cali
fornia passenger business, Is becoming
more serious every day, and it is generally
believed that open ruptures between the
two roads will break out before many days
have passed. A few weeks ago the Denver
& Rio Grande gave notice that passengers
| for California over its line would have the
| privilege of visiting Denver aud Leadvilie
Tree Of charge. This. it was learned, was
| done in retaliation for the Union Pacitc
| running fast trains between Omaha q
| Ogden and allowing passengers to visit
| Salt Lake free OF charge. Now the Union
| Pacific comes back by announcing that
| passengers for California over its line Will
| also be accorded the privilege OF going to
Denver and Leadville and return free OF
charge. This action will. of course, give
the Union Pacific again the advantage, and
there is now no other way open for the
Denver & Bio Grande to get even except to
make q large reduction in rates, which, Of
course, will compel the other line TO do
likewise.

wrong and unjustifiable, and says the fac
that they have ordered them out amount
to a declaration that the telegraph strik
has failed.
