Harmonious Railroad 3rs.

S,N FRANCISCO, Sept. 2l.-At the
opening of the second meeting this
morning Of the railroad managers,
Potter, of the Burlington & Missouri
road, offered the following resolu-
ton, which was adopted:
1t is the sense of this meeti' & that
the sew. raj roads now concerned in
the traffic between the Pacific Cost
and the Eastern Sta es should wOrH
in harmony and Upon equal rates.
This resulted in the formation Of a
committee composed solely OF freight
managers, with instructions to devise
a plan for pooling the net earnings
and distributed among them in such
proportion as would be equitable to
all. The convention then adjourned
till Monday next.
Among outside railroaders the feel
ing gains ground that the Northern
Pacific will continue to main ain the
independent position attributed to It.,
relying upon the good offices of the
Union Pacific to sustain it IN its de-
mands. The more that Can
be extracted from the Central
Pacific, against which the fight is
chiefly aimed, the better for those
two particular roads. Besides this,
the Northern Pacific representatives
know that they have a better chance
to make a good bargain now than
they would have after a disastrous
winter
