THE MARQUIS OF SALISBURY's STATEMENT

The Marquis OF Salisbury, replying to the
Duke of Marlborough in the house of lords
yesterday afternoon, said the present govern.

The Marquis of Salisbury contended that the
Zulfcar pass had been promised to Alghanis-
tan. Earl Dufferin, viceroy Of India, had prom
ised the ameer that he should have the pass,
aud the present government held itself bound
by that promise. Russia does not appear to
share our views concerning this matter" con-
tinued the premier. "In the meantime Maru.

We are pursuing, as rapidly and vigorously az
possible, policy TO strengthen the Indian from

can induce the government In the slightes de-

depend upon transitory relations with this or
that other power, but which is absolutely ne
cessary for the security OF India. The govern
ment have no present intention to occupy STRAIT
egic positions in the ameer's dominions What
may happen, however, We are unable to say.
We are also unable at present TO place before

The Texas Railroad Conference.

FAILURE TO MAKE A POOLING AGREEMENT.
GALVESTON, TEX. August 5.-The conference
or railroad managers and general freight
agents, which was in session here several days,
has adjourned sine die. without reaching a
pooling arrangement. 1t was thought, up to
the last moment that an arrangement would
be effected, as the pool had been chrstened the
Texas Traffic Association" and commits
Sioner chosen. Excellent progress was made in
arranging rates and agreeing upon details. The
question upon which the conference split re-
lated to the length OF time for which the pool
ing agreement should continue. Five years
was fixed upon by majority OF the interests
represented, but the directory of the Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fe road, at a meeting last
night, determined to enter the pool for no Ion
ger q period than one year, with the under
standing that IL the relationship proved salts
factory at the end of the year they would renew
the arrangement for longer period. This deci-
sion, when announced to the conference, re-
suited in an almost immediate final adjourn
ment, the other members being unwilling TO
enter an arrangement for a short period. This
relegates the entire matter back 10 the presi-
dents, Messrs Gould, Huntington and Sealey,
who called the conference. At a meeting of the
Santa Fe directors ii was determined that
President Sealey should proceed to New York
at once and consult with Messrs Gould and
Huntington, with view OF reyiving negotia-
lions looki ing to the pooling of Texas business.
The breakup was general surprise, even to
many members of the conference. No cutting
of rates is anticipated, at least for the present
