Sidney Dillon Interviewed.
Special Dispatch to TIE BHB.

CHICAGO, May 29.-Sidney Dillon,
president of the Union Pacific road,
passed through this city on route to
New York this evening, after q tour
Of inspection owe the road. In an
interview he said the company had no
intention of extending Its line west
from Ogden to San Francisco; that
such extension would not pay, as the
roads earnings on California business
we're only 10 per cent of its entire
earnings. As to the extension of the
Burlington road to Sail Lake, and the
building of other lines into Union Pa
ci6c territory, he said they had IN.
doubleday taken some business, but
owing to tho growth of the country
the earnings of the Uuion Pa.
ci6c company had nevertheless To-
creased. The diversion of traffic
via the Southern Pacific to New
Orleans, thor c, by water, he said, had
not materially fffacted his lines. He
esserted only ebcut % per cent OF
through tire ffio was carried by this
route and steamship Inca III this
connection he said the eastern trunk
lines could not stford to carry out the
threat not to prorste with the Pacific
roads, as such refusal would raise the
rate to such an extent that traffic from
seaboard to seaboard would be divert
cd to the southern route to a large
extent. He said the completion Of
the Northern Pacific would increase
rather than decrease the business OF
the Union Pacific, owing to the trafic
it would bring from the far northwest
over the Oregon Short line.

Frorating on Pacific Business.
SPECIAL Dispatch to THB BKK,

CHICAGO, May 80 - Official an
nouncement was made by Commits
sioner Fink yesterday, that the order
to discontinue the present method Of
treating California business separately
from other traffic should not 90 into
effect June lat. Action has been
postponed until July 1st, and up to
that date the present arrangement
should continue as heretofore. 1t Is
stated the presidents of the Union
and Central Pacific have requested
Commissioner Fink not to carry out
the new order until representatives Of
their roads have had an opportunity
10 meet representatives OF the
trunk lines and lee II q more
satisfactory arrangement cannot be
made. 1t IL stated that the trunk lines
are determined to make no compromise
With the Central Pacific people
regarding this matter, unless they
withdrew their line of steamers be-
tween New York and New Orleans.
When the trunk lines acceded to the
demand of the Central Pacific tn pro-
rate on California business at low con.
tract rates, 1t was done upon the un.
derstanding that none of the business
should be diverted by water lines, the
Central Pacific alleging that 1t was
compelled to discriminate In favor of
such shippers as pledge themselves to
ship exclusively by rail- to keen the
business from going via the Pacific
Mail steamship compsny's lines. Since
the establishment Of the ocean line
the trunk lines have found that
the Central Pacific was divert,
ing all business it could
via Its new ocean and rail- route, and
therefore they came to the conclusion
that 1t was no use to prorate any
longer with the Pacific roads at CON
tract rates, as contract business
vas all being diverted over the new
Southern Pacific route.
The Central Pacific now finds It.
self Ina dilemma. 1t can hardly afford
to have itsprorating arrangement with
the trunk lines stopped, and 1t much
less likes to abandon its new ocean line
between New York and New Orleans,
which, In connection with Its Southern
Pacific line, gives II an independent
through line from New York to Sar
Francisco.

The Hon. John GOOde Calls the Read
juster Leader Il Liar and "A Coward.

RtchmOnd (Pd.) Special oct. 7.
In speech delivered by Senator Ma
hone at Zuni, Isle of Wight county, on
Wednesday last, he was reported to have
said that Mr.. John GOode held his seat in
Congress by fraudulent votes, and was
therefore a cheat. EX-COngressman
GOOde to-day publishes a card in reply to
the charge. In this Mr.. GOOde saws that
Malone knew when he made the charge
of his occupying a seat in Congress by
fraudulent votes, that it was a deliberate
lie. Malone knew, Mr.. GoOde says, that
the State Board of Canvassers had unani-
mously awarded him the certificate of
election and that the House of Represen-
tatives, after the fullest investigation. had
decided that he was legally and fairly
elected. Mr.. Goode concludes his card as
follows:
''Who is this man that thus traduces
me in my absence? Protesting to be a
Democrat, he made corrupt bargain
with Republicans by which he BETRAYED
his constituents and sold for a price the
people who had hOnOred him with rep
resentative trust. Pretending to be the
champion of the people. he has done more
to debauch public morals and ruin the
good name of the State than any other
man who has ever lived upon her soil.
Protesting his devotion to the material in
terests of Virginia, he has bankrupted
one of her greatest railroads, taking care,
however, to fill his own pockets with
enormous sums Of money, for which he
has rendered no service whatever Boast
ing of his prOwess as a Major General in
the Confederate army, be gave a
vote in the Senate by which
he attempted to write the word
traitor upon the brow of every Confed-
crate living and the grave of every Con-
federate dead. Claiming to be a be-
lever in the so-called code of honor, he
bears upon his forehead today the brand
Of 'liar and coward placed there by Gen.
Jubal A. Early in the presence of 1O,OO0
people at the city of Richmond. Such a
man is unworthy of any further notice
from me, and dismiss him as beneath

YELLOW FEVER'S RAVAGEs.
A Startling State of Affairs Reported
from RreMfnn AIahntnn


NEW ORLEANS, Oct. "a special dis
patch from Montgomery, Ala, SAYS: 1T
was reported last night that one Of Mont
gomery's quarantine officers, Just returned
from BrewtOn, had stated that the malig-
nant fever now raging there is nothing
else than yellow fever, and is spreading
in the village. He says that seventeen
cases and two deaths were reported there
yesterday. Trains on the Montgomery
and Mobile Road pass that station with
out stopping. DR.. Cochran, the State
Health officer, advises that quarantine be
Instituted between here and Pensacola.
ana rigid enforcement of the quarantine
regulations between Brewton and the
world The weather is hot, and no rain
has fallen for over three months. and
everything is drying up"
Dr. Cochran, the State Health Officer.
has telegraphed from Brewton as follows:
"Ihere was one death with black yOmit
cd Sunday and one yesterday. There are
three black YOmit cases on hand, and nine
other cases of the prevailing fever since
noon. Two new cases have been reported
and also the death of Col. Z. Brewton.
The quarantine is rigid"
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. "a special
from Mobile says: "The Board of Health
here received to-day such advices from
BrewtOn as led it to advise the establish
ment OF quarantine against that place.
N0agreement apparently has been reached
as to the character of the disease, but it
IS fatal and spreading, and the press
strongly favor Il quarantine. DR.. FOOrd
telegraphs from BrewtOn tonight, and
says that there have been two deaths
from malarial fever since the Sd inst, and
that there are thirteen cases under treat
ment. On recommendation of the Board
OF Health, the port authorities tonight
re-established the quarantine against
Fensacola. 1t is said that owing to the
Indignation expressed by the people
and press Of Pensacola against
the physicians who discover vel
low fever, the medical fraternity
ma 1t safer not to report to the Board Of
Health. The statement by that board,
therefore, IS not regarded as satisfactory,
especially when the physicians are re-
ported as declaring that there have been
a dozen cases of fever in Pensacola during
the past two weeks. The fever is said to
resemble the disease prevailing at Brew
ton, and to have been fatal in a large
number Of cases.
MOBILE, Oct. 9.-RepOrts from Brew
ton, Ala, announce two deaths since the
81 ult., and thirteen cases under treat
ment. The doctors think that it is hemOr-
raghoric malarial fever, but the pressure
IS so strong that the neighbOring towns
are quarantined. Trains are ordered to
go through BrewtOn without stopping.
Mobile quarantined to-day.
