called to order by General Agent Cannon.
of San Francisco. I. +, Cakes Vice Presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific, was made
Chairman, aud NJ. s. Jordan Secretary A
discussion of matters Of general policy
followed. The representatives Of the Cen.
tral Pacific thought the percentages award
ed last spring were not properly diviaed.
The Southern Pacific asked for a new
award of percentages but did not take the
arbitrary position which some thought it
would. After a general exchange of opin-
ion regarding the present percentages,
without action, the Association adjourned
till tomorrow morning.
1t IS learned from gentleman high in
the counsels Of the Association tonight
that while the manner of the representa-
tives Of the Central and Southern Pacific
was very mild, ii was firm in their stand not
10 abide by the award of percentages made
by Bogue Ford and Gray. This" said
the gentleman above referred to, means
the destruction of arbitration, which is the
only thing the roads have for maintaining
peace The remainder of the roads are
willing to abide by the present award. but
will not submit TO granting the Central and
Southern Pacific any increase at the ex-
pense of the other roads. Notwithstanding
the general drift OF the talk tonight about
everything being harmonious, | cannot
now see any possibility of an agreement,
and believe the meeting VIII break up to-
morrow i'll a general row, when the Asso-
citation will become a thing OF the past"
New Description of General Gordon.
New York. September Sth.-Judge Geo.
5. Barpeller, of the International Tribunal
at Cairo Egypt, has arrived here. He was
appointed by President Grant ten years ago.
He said to the Mad and Express this after
noon General Gordon stopped three days
IN Cairo or his way to Khartoum. The
gush about his meteor-HKe passage through
Cairo was all nonsense and pure sensation
alism. He bad few friends in that city He
cared for nobody but himself He had the
same disregard of death as the Orientals,
among whom he spent So many years. He
was extremely pious. This characteristic
entered largely into his daily life, but with
ii all he was bloody, and ruled those
around him with an iron hand. He would
have made the Soudan groan with his des-
potism if fate had not stopped his career
IN khartoum. To Us in Cairo he was any
thing but hero. Gordon brought about
his own destruction by disobeying orders.
lie could have rereated when he found it
impossible TO carry out the Governments
instructions. Wolseleys fatal expedition
up the Nile was terrible blunder. The
English soldiers died like flies The world
heard something of the officers when they
were killed, but the true horrors of that
campaign have never been told.
