SLASH NG RATES.
The Burlington Makes a Savage Cut on
the Lumber Tariff to Colorado.

CHICAGO, March S.-A meeting of
the Northwestern traffic association and the
Central Iowa traffic association was held in
this city to-day. A full representation was
in attendance. The Rock Island 8 notice of
withdrawal from the Northwestern traffic
association and the Chicago and Northwest
ern's notice of withdrawal from the Cen
trail Iowa association were the only SUBJ
jects considered. The meeting was harmo-
NOUS. 1t was agreed to continue the eX-
istence Of both associations, it being tacitly
understood that the date for taking effect of
the above notices of withdrawal March g.
should be indefinitely postponed until a
more satisfactory organization can be per-
fected or system of pools can be devised
to take the place of the pres
emit associations. To this end
the general freight agents continued in
session a couple Of hours this afternoon
after the adjournment of the meeting of
general manager. The pooling system
seems to be the most favored. Commits
sioner Carman states that immediate steps
will be taken to amicably adjust the causes
which originally led to the notice of with
drawals. Other meetings at an early day
are probable.
The Burlington, Atchison and Topeka
and Chicago and Alton to-day gave notice
OF reduction Of the lumber rate from Chi
cago and St. Louis to Colorado points from
60 to 81 cents per hundred. The Western
Trunk Line association in their recent
sweeping reduction of rates to Colorado
points did not include lumber, it being spe-
cially classed. 1t is stated the Western

mittee on Judiciary, constituting majority
OF the judges Of the supreme court Of the
United States to be q quorum, instead of
six, as heretofore. The bill also prohibits
the Judge who heard the case In the circuit
court from sitting on the supreme bench
when the case comes up on appeal. The
bill to establish bureau of statistics and
labor came up under the five minute rule.
Mr.. Morrill, suggested q postponement in
order to give more time for debate. Mr..
Blair opposed the delay. After further dis
cussi0n the bill went over. Mr.. Plumb re-
ported favorably the house bill declaring
forfeited the lands granted to the Texas Pa
cific railroad, and stated that the minority
of the committee desired the privilege Of
submitting dissenting report at their con-
venience.
\ HoUsE-The house bill authorizing
the retirement of Gen. Alfred Pleasanton
as colonel was recommitted without in
sttuctions. Mr.. Brown Qnd.) Immediate

HoUsE-Saturday, March S.-Mr.
Dingley reported adversely, from the COM
mittee on shipping, authorizing the pur-
chase of foreign built ships by United States
citizens for use in the foreign carrying
trade. Placed on the house calendar. The
house then went into committee of the
whole (Blount in the chair) on the postofice
appropriation bill. Mr.. Townsend
explained the provisions of the bill.
Mr.. Horn said there would undoubtedly be
a deficiency of So, 500, 900 if the bill passed
in its present shape, and the only Offset the
committee provided was the cutting down of
$40 900 in the salaries Of postmasters in nine
cities. He was opposed to this provision.
The committee, without further action,
rose. Mr.. Hunt offered a resolution call
ing upon the secretary of war for informa-
ton as to whether he has made or published
any rules and regulations relating to the
control or navigation of the south pass of
the Mississippi river, or any other public
waters of the state Of Louisiana, and il so,
by what authority. Adopted.
