THE Chicago Times of the 25th ut has the following iu relation to Pacific
 States traffic; For several weeks there has been a serious disturbance in Cali fornia freight business from the Atlantic -eabaard, which has accustomed an i'm mense amount of tr uble to the trunk lines. The California traffic, as 1t has
 been called, has been earned from east ern ports to the Pacific coast by raii. under special contracts, the routes over which it has passed beng in control of the Central Pacific road. under a special arrangement with the trunk lines from the east to connecting points. The Cen tral Pacific owns the Southern Pacific, which has connecting lines from El Paso with Galveston and New Orleans to winch points hnes of steamers run from New York and other Atlantic ports, connecting with these roads, that are feed CTS of the Southern Pacific The rates ou freights from New Orleans to San Francisco are the same as from Chicago to San Francisco. while from Galveston they are the same as from Kansas City. In order to divert San Francisco and Pacific coast trade from the trunk hnes which have the night. as they think, to the carriage of all such traffic the lines of steamers between New York and New Orleans and Galveston have been cutting rates to such extent as to make the through rate l6 per cent. less than the contract rates last Saturday. and 25 per cent. less on Monday last. It is un- derstood flat these breaks in such rates are only increasing the slight cut that was made several weeks ago, when de- maud was made by the trunk lines upon the Central Pacific for an explanation Of the natter and stoppage Of San Francisco traffic over the Southern Pacific Should the Central Pacific continue to recog- uize the cut rates by steamer to New Orleans and Galveston, and thence to the Pacific coast over connecting lines and the South ern Pacific, war of rates may be looked for that will result in the car rage of such traffic at merely nominal figures from seaboard to seqboard. The Texas Pacific was said to have joined in the cut, making a rate as low as S4, but raising ir 10 Sj on Monday. The D-la- ware and L8ckawauna railroad. which is not in the trunk-hne pool, and the Union Pacific and Santa Fe route, are said to have already joined in the cut, and are taking a reasonable share of such traffic. The action of the Centra' Pacific. m apparently recognizing the diversion of San Francisco freiEhts, and being SO slow iu reulyug to the notifca- tion Of the trunk lines of The existence of tue cut, is severely criticized by trunk-line interests, and it is regarded as a complete dissolution from the ex-st- ing contract. Unless a reply of a sa-is- factory nature is made within a few days. a formal announcement will be made by the trunk-Iue pool that the special contract with the Central Pacific railroad is no longer of any bndin- force or effect upon them, after which the carrying of California freights may assume an attitude that will astouish the parties to the recent cut in rates.

WE read an article III a contemporary yesterday that was published early this week, which seemed familiar. It flashed across our mind that We had read it be- fore. We reflected moment, and re. membered the article. It was stolen from the Fl Paso Times and published as original matter in the journal re- ferred tn. We would suggest to our neighbor that 1t must be poor article indeed that is not preferable to one obtained by such means. We shall moi expose our neighbor at thls time, but ii he continues this practice We may do SC on future occasion. Such things dc not escape the careful reader, and lead ing editorials cannot be thus appropri ated and pass unnoticed.

THE Tombstone Republican of yester- day says: "The detachment of rangers. ten in number, which left the main body for the purpose of recOnDOitering Els ki-min gins camp, on the lower San Pedro, returned last evening. They found about loo bucks around the old chiefs ranch, and although willing to make an attack, were persuaded by the whites living near not to do so. IL is whispered, however, that they made two or three good Indians, and that old Es- kim-in zin had gone to San Carlos to report the fact" It is tO be hoped the rangers have not attacked or killed any of the peaceable Indians who live on the San Pedro, as such an attack would result disastrously to C white settlers m that neighborhood. If they did do anything of the kind they should be held responsible for it. The indians on the San Pedro have settled there under the advice of skim m gin, former chief of Apaches, by authority. It Is not known that they have ever con- mitted any depredations on the whites. and 1t is certain they have never ope ly molested them in any way whatever. They have severed their tribal relations with the reservation Indians, gone to work in good faith, taken out water ditches, improved and fenced considera- ble land, and have raised very fair crops during the past three or four years. The CITIZEN of yesterday contained an ac- count of the rangers shooting at an In- dian near Colonel Woods ranch. but the party, who is a teamster of Fully, Ochoa x Co.,, did not learn of any In- dians having been killed If any h. dians have been killed, We shall proba- bly be informed by telegraph from San Carlos Agency today.

THE signal service bureau states that the report of the tornado having swept across Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia is misleading; that the tornado m Mississippi and Georgia had no con necticn with each otber and were differ ent storms. They were small local tor nados, generated at different points. This is important news; but 1t is some thing tine people would doubtless have found out, without the aid Of the signal service bureau, if they had not already done SD. It would be much more im- portant to the people, if the signal office would tell the people of the c ming of these storms instead of tracing out the route, after the storms are over. It does not require much skill to follow the track of tornado that uproots trees, blows down houses and strews the line with the dead bodies of human beings, cattle, horses, sheep and swine Up to this date the signal, service bureau, has been of DO practical use m furnishing information to the country, and We question whether the benefits derived from information furnished our ship owners, warrants the large expenditures Of money expended in that branch ser vice.
