The fact that Mr.. Tilden is never

The Railway Muddle.

CHICAGO, September ia general
committee of railway managers. composed
of Messrs. Hughitt, Potter, KimDall,
Robinson, Mcmillan and Gable, to which
was referred the problem by which the
differences now existing between the
Western lines could be adjusted, held an
all day session here to-day. The solution
of the present difficulty was supposed to
rest upon the dissolution or continuance
of the tripartitc pool ont of the %organiza-
ton of which the present condition of
affairs is supposed to have sprung. One
Of the %prcrogatives of the tripartite agree
ment, is that the roads east of the
Missouri River should make all through
rates to Colorado and California points.
When asked to join in the formation of
a transit Missouri pool the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe company declined to do so
so long as tripartite or the power given
roads in east of the Missouri river was al
lowed to continue. At to-day's session
the continuance of the tripartite was not
discussed. A plan was proposed, how
ever, which was adopted unanimously,
and which will be reported to the general
meeting tomorrow. The plan is in the
rough and was not even placed in the
form of a resolution. 1t proposes the
formation of pools on California and Colo
RADIO business, two east and two west of
the Missouri river. the former to include
all Omaha and Southwestern lines and
the latter including the Burlington, Santa
Fe and Union Pacific roads.
1t is provided that there shall be four
commissionerships and that a conference
committee, consisting of members of all
four pools, be appointed to arbitrate any
difficulty affecting the roads, both east
and west of the Missouri river. Resolu-
tons to clothe this committee with power
was defeated and the committee is to
serve in only an advisory capacity. A
proposition by the Union Pacific and Rock
Island to recognize the tripartite pool was
opposed by the Burlington, Northwest
ern and Santa Fe, and the matter was
dropped without action. The probability
of the adoption of the plan outlined at the
general meeting tomorrow, is a matter of
considerable doubt, owing to the failure
to take any definite action as to the con-
tinuance of the tripartite.

AUGUSTA, Me-, September l5.-The
Kennebec Journal tomorrow will con-
tain the following: Mr.. Blaine, accompas
MED by his wife, arrived from Bar Har-
Dor this afternoon. In answer to a re
porter of the Journal, who called at his
residence to ascertain if he wished to say
anything in regard to the letters given the
public by Fisher and Mulligan, Mr..
Blaine replied his only desire that every
voter in the United States might read the
letters for himself and not form his judg-
ment from editorial misrepresentation in
PARTISAN journals. There was not a word
in the letters, Mr.. Blaine added, which
was not entirely consistent with the most
scrupulous integrity and honor. He
hoped every Republican paper in the
United States would publish the letters
in full.

NEW YORK, September l5.-Between
1900 and 10000 people assembled in
Union Square tonight to hear General B.
F. Butler speak. 1t required the services
of half a dozen policemen to make a
passage way for the General to reach the
stand He was loudly cheered. The
crowd was composed largely of laboring
men. DR.. Ferdinand Seeger called the
meeting to order and introduced Louis F..
Post as chairman of the evening. Mr..
Post, in a brief address, introduced That
great American Governor, General B. F.
Butler. The cheers that greeted the
General as he came to the front continued
several minutes. When quiet was re-
gained Butler said in part; Friends and
fellow citizens, thanking you for your
kind greetings, l assume that your deep
interest in the affairs of the country and
the political measures which should be
taken to relieve them has brought so vast
an audience together, This is indeed u
ratification by the great city of New York
of the Inauguration Of the peoples
party'-true Democracy. Unlike the
labored, tedious and involved platform
of other political parties. that of
the peoples party is short, %incisive and
comprehensive of every principle for the
conduct of the Government of the Re
public and can be easily carried in the
memory of each. 1t is this: Equality Of
right, equality of burdens, equality o
powers, and equality of privileges to all
men under the law. None can deny these
fundamental doctrines of our fathers
Republic, adopted by Jefferson, elabo-
by Madison and executed by Jack
son.
At the conclusion of General Butler
ex-senator Grady was introduced
and spoke at some length. Butler after
ward held a reception at the Fifth Avenue
hotel.

was offered if she would consent t. leave

should never darken his doorway while he
lived. Then the wife said she would
never leave her husband who was so dear
to her heart, and bitterly reproached her
father for having her arrested. Mrs.
