assumption that the 9Th street depot should remain
as now located After writing the protest above
copied against this, the Commissioners then pro-
ceeded to give their views the theory OF the 9Th
street depot retaining its present location They say
that wh1le strongly opposed TO the retention OF the
depot in the midst OF public park, yet II Congress
decides in favor OF it. that the facilities It affords
ought to be accorded to both roads. They there
fore suggest that the Baltimore and Ohio depot be
located alongside that OF the Baltimore and Poto-
mac, and that both roads reach the depots by ac-
curing right OF way through private property"
AGAINST THE TUNNEL PROJECT
There is decided majority OF the committee IN
favor OF requiring the Baltimore and Ohio to 60

THE IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
A Report Current that Alexander
Sullivan's Scalp Will be Taken
at the Boston Meeting.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Eus,liag Tele-
gram says: ''The convention of the Irish
National league, that takes place in Boston
next month, will, If the indications discov-
cred here arc to be relied on, be the occasion
of good deal of contension. The ele-
ment of dissatisfaction is with Alexander
Sullivan, of Chicago the present head of the
organization. The fault found with him is
wide and diverse. 1t is based on personal
grounds as well as for reasons rising out of
his administration of his office. Politically
he is a staunch Republican, while the bulk
of the leagues members are Democrats. 1t
is declared authoritively, however, that no
part of the dissatisfaction is ascribed to
that fact primarily. Mr.. Sui
livan is generally regarded as holding
advanced tenets on the subject of
claimed, in the convention that since he was
chosen president the organization has inn
mensely declined in power, in spirit, in
membership, and in the aid rendered to the
Irish cause. All these things will be ascribed
to the policy pursued by him. He will be
asked to make public his reasons for the
course he has followed.
''We win make Mr.. Sullivan show his hand
at the convention" said q Catholic priest who
has taken an active part in the land league
since the movement was first started IN this
country. ''We are not at all satisfied with what
he is doing or has done"
A layman, an adherent of Tammany hall,
and leader in the league movement in New
York, said; ''We are only handful in New
York now, compared to what we were when
Mr.. Sullivan was elected. Mr.. Sullivan is a
member of the extremist society and his
notions do not agree with those of the bulk
of his followers
but he was chosen unanimously by the
convention in Philadelphia last year. was
suggested.
''Yes, but it is a choice that was cut and
dried was a.delegate and took part in the
side proceedings that ended in his election.
and l know what l am talking about,
Mr.. Sullivan has strong friends in the ad-
vanced Irish societies, which by the plan
adopted in Philadelphia last year are admit
ted to membership in the convention.

WESTERN RAILWAYS.
An Outline of the Probable Outcome
of Next Tuesdays General
Meeting.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l

Especial 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 a distribution of the east-bound
traffic Of the Union Pacific between all Omaha
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 90 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 Transcontine entail
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, Cable 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 a party to the call only on con-
dition that the others would agree to form the
separate pools. He believed that 1t would be
impracticable to do away with the Missouri
river as 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 a successful termination of Tues
days conference, will sooner of later come
to the conclusion that its maintenance
would be useless expense.

WISCONSIN POLITICS.
A Scheme Said to be on Foot to Nomi-
nate Villas for Governor.
Special Telegram to the Globe.

Iopccial lelegram TO the GlODe.I
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 1.-The Madison cor
respondene of q Chicago paper said the other
day that scheme was on foot to nominate
Col VIM. f. Villas on the Democratic ticket
for Governor, with 0. K. Delaney as Lieuten-
ant Governor. If elected. Villas
was to resign and go to the U. s..
senate, leaving Delaney governor de facto'
This would leave Delaney out of the fight for
the congressional nomination in the Second
district, leaving the field clear for Gen.
Bragg, his old time opponent. Delaney was
in the city to-day, and fatty denied the story.
He was asked: "Has the trouble between
yourself and Gen. Bragg been settleds'
Settled; no, certainly not.''
''What are you going to do about itl''
Eight 1t put to the end"
The fight may develop into triangular
contest with Judge H. w. Sawyer, OF Hart
ford rs third man. The list of visitors at
the Democratic headquarters during the day
included Fred w. Horn, of Cedarburg; B. s..
Potter, OF West Bend; A. X. Delaney, of
Mayyille; j. Everitt, of Smithburg.
At the Republican headquarters the register
showed as many visitors as were recorded at
the Democratic room.
John L. Mitchell, chairman of the county
Democratic convention, said he had not yet
been able to appoint an executive commit
tee. The names will not be announced un-
til Monday. The location of headquarters is
also undecided

SECRET C0NCLAvE.
The Republican Leaders i'll 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 hatelh-
geneer, 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.
