the city at present. Their object here
is to endeavor to secure the displace-

made Ia that State. The presence here
OF almost tno entire delegation in Com

Railway Commfssions

~ y ttH ~ |
There are railway commissions ia "a
OF the SO States, In the Is States
which have no commissions, and
which include such Important States
as Indiana, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, there are generally such Offices
as State engineers, part of whose duty
Ii to exercise some sort of supervision
over railways. In nine of the % States
which have commissions the commits
sioners have power to fix rates
of freight and fares. THESE
are California, Georgia, lii
nois, Kansas, Maine, Missouri,
New Hampshire, South Carolina and
Tennessee. In II OF the % states the
commissions power is limited to agen-
'eral supervision of the railways with
out authority to interfere with the
tariffs established by the companies.
These are Connecsicut, Iowa, Masss-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont,
Virginia and Wisconsin. In two
States, Alabama and Kentucky, the
commissioners have no power to fix
rates, but they may recommend such
rates rs In their opinion are fair and
reasonable, and If, after such recona-
moDd8tion, the companies exact higher
rates, the passenger or shipper may
eue TO recover damages on the ground
OF oxtoftion.

OMAHA, Sept. 29.-The formal
answer OF tho Knights of Labor to tho
recent manifesto Of Manager Galloway
OF tho Union Pacific has been re-
ceived at headquarters at Denver. IL
is lengthy document, signed by the
executive committee OF the Union
Pacific employees, Thomas Neashem,
chairman, tho substance being 8 criti-
cism Of CAlloway's letter and ch2rg-
ing him with trying to mislead the
public, accusing him Of making mis-
statements and championing
tho cause OF the Chinese;
charging him with knowing
that both Bockwith, Quinn aud Dock
art, tho former beng contracting
agent, and tho Istter general superiD
tendent of the local department, were
appraised Of the grieysr ces that exist
cd Ell Rock Spriugs, and instead OF try
ing to redress the same, added to them.
The Rights emphstically state they
abhor the action taken by tho outrag-
ed miners "a much as any one. Thew
inform ths Union Pacific it eau get all
the white labor it requires from citi-
zens of this country. Wharo is no
excuse for the retention of the Chinese.
"We are law-abidiug citizeEs," say
they, t'and we r1ean to remain so ua-
til our rights Nnd liberties are leopard
lied, then the 6rst law of ne1uro will
guixe u.s." They charge Galloway
With abuse of confidence In giving
recent private correspondence to the
public. They turther state they
did not make any demand,
but simply sent In request.
A petition asking the Union Pacific
directors to remove the Chinese from
the company's employ is now being
circulated Ia Omsha and all along the

Invading the Southern Tacifc


The Atcbison, Topeka &c Santa Fe
and Atlantic 81 Pacific railways seem
to be determined to free themselves
entirely from tho dictation of the
Southern Pacific and are rapidly ex-
tending lines to all important South
ern Pacific coast points. Those roads,
when they purchased the Mojave di-
vision of tho Southern Pacific and On
kterod into an arrangement for the use
Of the iatter's line from Mojave to San
Francisco, expected to be treated
fairly by the Southern Pacific aad be
allowed to interch snge business tor
Pacific coast points at bhe same terms
as the Southern Pacific itself en-
joyed. But the latter bas sought
to embarraSs this Santa Fe and
Atlantic q Pacific whenever an oppor-
tunity afforded, and has taken every
advantage 1t could to prevent those
lines from competing with 1t on even
terms for Pacific coast traffic. The
Santa Fe and Atlantic d Pacific find
ing that there WAS no hope OF obtain
ing Just and fair treatment from tho
California monopoly are now placing
themselves in = p0zitiOn that Will soon
enable them to assume the offensive
against the Southern Pacific and give
il dose of its own medicine. The San
Diego extension from MOjavo to San
Diego, upon the construction of which
the Santa Fe and Atlantic d Pacific
have been engaged for some time past,
will be completed next month, which
will enable those roadside reach San
Francisco by steamer from San Diego
entirely independent of tho
Southern Pacific, giving them at the
Same time IN opportunity to make
whatever rates they chose from the
Missouri river to San Frsncisco. Not
content with their San Diego outlet to
the Pacific oeean, they now propose to
at once invade The choicest territory
of the Southern Pscific. they propose
to build a limo from Waterman, the
junction OF the Atlantic & Pacific, Wis
Riverside and Arlington, to Los An
geles, the distributing point of the
Southern California. The right of
way for four-fifths of the lines has
already been secured, and no trouble
Is anticipated in getting the remain

richest fruit section OF the State OF
California and will undoubtedly
divide that profitable trade, of which
the Southern Pacific has heretofore
