WESTERN RAILWAYS.
An Outline of the Probable Outcome
OF Next Tuesdays General
Meeting
special Telegram to the Globe. ]

Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The general confer
ence Of western roads to be held at Commis-
sioner Midgely's office next Tuesday, is
looked forward to as perhaps the most i'm
portant from railway standpoint
ever held in the west. The multitude of
important matter to be discussed and settled
renders the result of most vital interest, the
immediate welfare of every road west of
Chicago and st. Louis being involved in the
outcome. 1t was learned yesterday just
what is hoped to be accomplished, An eff
fort will be made to re-establish all Of the
pools and traffic associations which
were dissolved at the entrance of the
triparttie pool upon the scene. First and
most important will be the Iowa Trunk Line
association, covering all business between
Chicago and Omaha, which will necessarily
involve distribution of the east-bound
and Chicago lines. The Colorado pool,
covering business from the Missouri river to
Colorado points, and the Colorado Traffic
association, controlling traffic between
Chicago and the Missouri river, destined to
Colorado points, will then be considered.
An effort will be made to revive the Nebraska
or eight-point pool, dealing with all Nebraska
traffic, and following upon the heels of its
reorganization will be pool on all western
cattle business.
The Utah Traffic association will be reor-
ganized if the Colorado pool is. The former
will expire August % by expiration of the
Santa Fe's notice of withdrawal, if its lease
OF life should not be extended at the ap-
preaching conference. The Transcontinenta
association will not be directly discussed at
Tuesdays meeting, but upon its result will
depend directly. the existence of the Pacific
pool. The disposition of all these matters
will probably, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, prolong the conference several
days.
What may be accomplished is in doubt. A
favorable indication is the fact that at re-
cent formal conference between Messrs. Pot
tea, Gable and Hughitt, the latter two ,ex
pressed their willingness to agree to the for
nation OF separate pools east and west of the
Missouri river. They were discussing the
advisability of calling general
conference, when Mr. Potter said that
he would be party to the call only on con
dition that the others would agree to form the
separate pools. He believed that it would be
impracticable to do away with the Missouri
river as a dividing line, and the pool en-
bracing the entire territory between Chicago
and Colorado would be cumbersome and un-
manageable, and he would not think of such
consummation under the circumstances.
The reorganization Of the above
pools need not do away with the
Western Trunk Line association, although
the necessity of its existance, after the others
are formed, does not clearly appear. 1t is
more than likely that its members, in the
event of successful termination of Tues
days conference, will sooner of later come
to the conclusion that its maintenance
would be a useless expense.

SECRET CONCLAVE. /
The Republican Leaders in Secret
Session at Deer Park, Md.

DEER PARK, Md, Aug about thirty.
prominent Republicans and Greenbackers of
West Virginia, gathered at the Deer Park
hotel here to-day, it is said at the instance of
Stephen Elkins, Of the Republican national
committee, and held conference with the
doors closed and curtains down which lasted
three hours. Among those present were
Elkins, who presided, Congressman Moffat,
Messrs. Maxwell, fusion candidate for gov
ernor Of West Virginia; Flick, candidate
for attorney general; Gibbons, OF Charles
town, Smith, of Bertha Springs, Stone Of
Fairmont, Raymond, of Clarkburg, Beale,
of Wellsburg, Hart, of the Wheeling hateM-
gencer, Ammington, of the Graf
ton Sentinel, Peterson, of the Huntington
Republican Powell, of Fairmont, Virginia,
Darmer, Scofeld and others of Wheeling, as
well as gentlemen from Point Pleasant, Aus
tin, Westmoore and Hamlin. A plan. of
operations and general conduct Of the cam
paign were decided upon. Elkins, it being
understood, representing Mr.. Blaine. His
views of greenbacks were freely given and
in ssme in some instances combatted by the
Republicans, several of whom were among
those who in the state convention opposed
fusion. Harmony prevailed, however,
throughout and much good feeling was mani
tested over the prospect of liberal contri
buttons from the national committee to aid
in the campaign as it progresses. The belief
prevails among the gentlemen in attendance
at the conference that Golf will withdraw
his objection to become candidate to sue
ceed himself in congress and that he will
run, a circumstance which they
think will strengthen the Re-
publican national and fusion state tickets.
Elkins entertained the whole party at the
Park hotel, where an elegant dinner was
served, after which came another session and
subsequently division into smaller bodies
and general series of caucuses. There was
most decided tendency to secrecy in every
thing except enthusiasm at the prospect Of
carrying the state, which is open and conf
dent.
Mr. Blaine is expected at Elkins' cottage
at Deer Park during the month"; where he
will probably meet some of those who par
ticipated in to-day's conference.
Prominent Democrats among the guests
at Deer park, profess no uneasiness over the
assertions of the Blaine managers that they.
will capture the state, and insist that all the
money spent by Elkins, Jones and Others in
West Virginia will leave SO much less to
combat in other and really doubtful states.

close relations with President Arthur, has
been interviewed in Philadelphia touching
the attitude of the administration toward Mr..
Blaine's canvass. Mr.. McMichael says:
political affairs, you know, can't
be conducted now in the
way they used to be. You can't order the
employees in your department to do thus and
so. Civil service really has an admitted
place. President Arthur has conscientiously
observed the civil service rules. He en-
forced them to the injury of his own pros
poets when the contest for the nomination
was going on. It was a new thing to see
collector of port warning against the inter-
ests of the president by whose will he held
place. Mr.. Arthur means to continue to rig
orously enfore these same rules"

human If he did not feel some disappoint-
ment at his failure to receive it, but that
feeling has not carried him to the length Of
turning against the candidate of his party -
