CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE formal notice
has been given by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad of the intention Of the
mpany to Withdraw from the Omaha
pool, after the expiration of thirty days,
has provoked. nearer approach to real ex-
element than any kindred event in rail
road circles here for number of years
Whatever contests have occurred between
the western roads the Omaha rates have
been strictly maintained the past twelve
years, and break in the Omaha rates is
looked upon as involving the entire south
western business. The present move of
the st. Paul road is deemed by Compel
ing lines as an open guage OF batti e
and that an uncomprising fight will follow
unless the demands it will likely make on
four roads are acceded to. The published
statement made here of the excess of the
Omaha earnings have grown out Ct the
fact that it has carried the bulk Of western
cattle coming to this market under an
agreement made by this combination of
western cattle men to favor this line
After an attempt has been made to secure
better terms from the pool, it Is impos-
sible to hope this would resultin rupture
between roads stated in the combination
The cattle men offered to put up an enor-
nous money guarantees to send ell the cat
tie over one line provided il
would give the combination {
special rate. Haying failed TO max;
terms with any one line or POOL
the coarse pursued was that of shipping
cattle over single line. Owing to thu
increase of its business revenues from thi
source, it is understood grows demand o

HIS Resignation.
Rumors have been in circulation for
some time past that General Superinten-
dent ]. D. Laying, Of the Chicago & North
western, would soon resign his position,
there being difference of opinion be-
tween him and the general manager of
the company regarding the operations of
the road. These rumors have been re-
newed during the last two days, and it is
now reported that Mr.. Laying has tend
cred his resignation, and that Mr.. @. D.
Graham, uperintendent; and D. B. Nc
Coy, assistant superintendent of the Wis
consin division, have also sent in their
designations. Mr.. Laying refused TO af-
firm or deny the rumor. The other
officers of the Chicago & Northwestern are
also non committal regarding this matter.
1t is the general opinion that the rumors
are correct, and that official notice of the
resignation of the above officials will be
given about the end of this month. Who
Mr.. Layng's successor will be, in case his
resignation is accepted, has not yet trans
pirsd. The name of Mr.. W. S. Melien, at
present general freight agent of this road,
and who has had considerable experience
in operating railroads, has been mentioned
in connection with the position, and he
would no doubt make a most efficient gen
eral superintendent. Mr. Cuyler, who for
merly held the position of division super
intendent OF the Wisconsin division of the
Northwestern, is mentioned as the sue
cessor of Mr.. Gorham.

Tickets OF Restern Roads "Turned TO th'
WaU."

special from New York of the 18th
says: The leading topic in railroad circles
to-day was the threatened war in passen-
ger rates, which it is claimed by some of
the western roads ana the ticket brokers
and spectators here, viii be precipitated
by the action OF Commissioner Pierson in
ordering the stoPpage of the sale of tick :
cts here for points west of Chicago
and st. Louis. The tickets ordered to be
withheld from sale are said to be the first
class limited tickets by way of Chicago
and Kansas City to Atchison, Leavenworth
and St. Joseph, and all the
first and second class tickets by
way of Chicago and Kansas City
to Atchison, Leavenworth, st. Joseph,
Plettsmouth. Council Bluffs and Omaha.
The roads affected by the withdrawal of
these tickets are the Chicago d. Alton, Chi
cago Burlington & Quincy, Chicago, Rock
Island IL Pacific, Chicago &5Northwestern,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul.
The frst-clss5 limited tickets By way of
Chicago to Omaha and Council Bluffs over
the Rock Island road, have also been with
drawn. AS showing the scope of the order
withdrawing these tickets it may be men
toned that the total number of forms Of
tickets for the above points is about 400,
a. d the number withdrawn about $50.
| At Commissioner Persons Office it was
stated that the step had become necessary
by reason of the abuses which existed in the
passenger department of the roads running
west from Chicago, and if vigorously car
ried out by the trunk lines here these
abuses would be corrected in short time.
A convention of the East-and West lines
would probably be required to satisfac-
torily arrange matters, and this would pos-
| sibly be held. In view of this, the call
/ which was issued yesterday for meeting
here Dec. IL, of the joint executive COM
mittee, passenger department, may be
regarded as significant
| At the various trunk line ticket Offices
the order was strictly carried out, and il
was not possible to purchase tickets tor
| the points named, and one of the trunk
| lines interpreted the order 80 rigidly that
IL refused to issue tickets for points be-
/ yond those interdicted, on the ground that
tins would be clear evasion of the spirit
of the order.
At several of the Offices of the western
roads the statement was made that strict
compliance with the order would inevita-
bly, result in war. Other roads regarded
the order as q wise one. Regret was uni
versally expressed that the evils of ticket
commissions had assumed so great proper
tons, yet great doubt was entertained ii
these evils could now be abolished.

there will be war Of rates and verJ

NEWSPAPER correspondents who
have visited the Birmingham District,
in Alabama, believe that there is TO
be a remarkable development of the
iron industry in that region. The
materials for iron making are all at
hand in exhaustive quantities, The
limestone is better and cheaper than
in Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the
coal, when converted into coke, goes a
good deal further. Business will be
very bad indeed in the North" writes
one Of these correspondents, when
they can not make good dividends
here" One sixty-ton furnace is said
to haVa cleared 100000 last year.
Naturally the company are making
haste to get a second furnace in opera
ton. The North, it is argued, must
not expect to sell much more iron in
the South, but should be very content
if Southern iron is not put upon the
Northern markets at prices which will
be ruinous to the Northern furnaces.
There is one serious drawback, how
ever, in the fact that no process is yet
known by which the Alabama claim
can be converted into steel.

Mr.. Peter Geddes, OF New York, In
letter dated February %, declares
that the bondholders will scorn to
accept.the 50-3 proposition about to be
made by the Legislature. Perhaps
the venerable Peter has since heard
of the decision Of the Supreme Court,
and will not ask New Hampshire to
undertake the collection Of his claims.
If the bondholders have any conscien-
tious scruples about it. they need not
accept the 50-3 offer. 1t is more than
they are entitled to on strict con-
struc.iOn Of the equitive of the case,
but the people of Tennessee are mag
unanimous aud willing to do the square
thing by the bondholders. If such
men as Geddes aud Kelly had mixed
some with the people who have to pay
the taxes and less with vaCillating
unrepresentative Legislatures it would
have been better for their cause.
Because the people we're unable and
unwilling to pay debt much Of which
they knew was unjust, and would not
surrender the sovereignty of the State
for hundred years, they have been
denounced as repudiators. This has
been done very Aippahtly at the North,
where there seems to be no one
scarcely to present the real facts and
an opposite view. The people, how
ever, have endured Misrepresentation
and taunts for the sake of truth and
right. They have gone on in the even
tenor OF their way, have compromised
differences of opinion among them
selves, and at last adopted o
basis of settlement that is
honorable to themselves and
Just toward the bondholder. The
world will see and adjudge it in that
light when The situation is better un-
derstood. Tennessee can afford to
wait for the vindication of time, and
if such men as Peter Geddes and
Eugene Kelly see fit to stand out
longer and take the chances of getting
a better settlement through some
weak or corrupt Legislature they
have right to do so. This, however,
is the best offer that is likely to ever
be made.
