GALVESTON, July 2l,-ISpecial. T.
The Conference Of Texas Railroad
Managers, for the formation of a gen
eral pool, had two sessions yesterday
and night session. The members are
very reticent as to the doings OF the
conference, but it is understood tho
basis for pool has practically been
reached.
The gross earnings OF the various
roads for the year 1888 is believed to be
the basis for the first years percentage
The Missouri Pacific Representatives
are confident of being allotted 90 per
cent. Yesterdays sessions were oc.
cupied in a discussion of mail earn
ings. IT has not yet be3n decided
whether such earnings shall be en-
braCed in the pool. Other questions of
IKE Importance are being adjusted
prior to q tiual declaration of percent
ages. Many names have been sug-
gested for pool commissioner, but no
formal ballot on commissioner has been
taken. Galveston has been selected
as headquarters for the commissioner.
The conference will scarcely adjourn
before the later part of the week.
The conference of Texas railroad
managers was in session until q late
hour tonight.
Chairman Sealey states that nothing
really definite has yet been agreed up
on, but tho conference is making fair
progress. Many knotty details are &C.
cupying its attention. No percentages
have yet been agreed upon or directly
considered by the conference, it being
impossible to reach actual percentages
OF tho pool until all questions bearing
on the same are adjusted,
Speaking Of the progress OF the con-
ference, one of its prominent mem
bers said Tonight: "Tho whole
business may yet fly TO pieces IN five
minutes time" This, however, does
not necessarily indicate that a har-
mOnious arrangement will not DO
reached within the next few days
The question Of paying commissions
TO ticket agents has been frequently
discussed and it 10 said the conference
has adopted rulo prohibiting such
payments.
