THE BUSTED POOL.
General Manager Callowsy's Statement
of the AffaiI

CHICAGO, February 2O.-In response to a
telegram sent from the general office of the
Associated Press in Chicago to s. R. Gallo
way, general manager of the Union Pacific
Railway, asking for a statement from him
respecting the disruption of the Transcon
tinental Association, Mr., Galloway tele-
graphs from Boston this evening, citing
that the pooling arrangement between Cal
ifornia roads expired by limitation several
months ago. but there was a tacit agree
ment among the roads to maintain rates
pending the time when they could agree
upon q basis OF reorganization. Neverthe-
lesss, all the lines appear to have cut rates
more or less, and the Southern Pacific, with
it's water line to New Orleans, cut
the lowest. The Southern Pacific was
allowed 25 per cent. in the pool, the
Atehison, % per cent; the Union Pacific,
AZ per cent. and the Burlington and re-
naming lines the remaining 10 per cent. At
the New York meeting, Mr.. Galloway says
the Atchison demanded SO per cent. of the
Southern California business, and % per
cent. of the remaining Pacific Coast busi-
ness, or as Mr.. Galloway asserts 80 per
cent. of the whole. He also declares there
are three railroad systems touching
Southern California, the Southern Pacific,
the Athison and the Union Central Pacific
lines, and that an objection was made
to the Atchison obtaining one-half of this
business. This would have increased it's
percentage z per cent, representing about
$2SO,OOO. Mr.. Galloway states the other
company's were willing to leave the subject
to arbitration and even concede something
additional to the Atchison road, but the
latter held to it's demand and the meeting
adjourn d. This was followed by the
present open rate cutting. The telegram
cites that the Pacific Mail Steamship ,om-
pany owing to it's loss OF $85, 900 monthly
subsidy granted it by the Transcontinental
lines and which ended with the disruption
OF the Association has decided to put on
weekly line Of steamers to California by the
way Of the Isthmus Of Panama and to buy
one new steamer and construct another
with a view to obtaining its full share Of
overland traffic.

DISTRICT ASSEMBLY.
Organizations Of a Supreme Body Of the
knights OF Labor.

Yesterday one Of the most important
secret lodges ever organized in the Terri
tory was placed upon Il solid foundation in
Butte, and is one which promises to WELD
a very strong power in the relations be-
tween capital and labor. This body is Il
District Assembly Of the Knights of Labor
for the Territory of Montana. In the pres
ent instance thirteen Local Assemblies
having membership of 900, were repre-
sented, and by the time OF the next meet
ing OF the superior body it is expected that
all OF the assemblies in the Territory will
have passed under its control. and that 4
present total membership OF 5000 will be
swelled to at least 1000 or 5000, as there
are now half a dozen appticA tions in the
hands OF the Organizer for charters for new
assemblies. Yesterday promptly at II
O'Clock, noon the delegates from the thir-
teen lodges, which are apportioned on II
basis OF one delegate for each fifty members
or fraction OF fifty, met in Miners Union
Hall, and went about the tedious task Of
constituting their superior body. Hereto
fore all the branches OF the order in Mon
tana have been directly under the juris-
diction OF the supreme body at Philadcl
phia, and the time and difficulty in com
municating Herewith was so great that the
District Assembly was decided upon. When
IL clock was reached last evening all OF
the necessary work had been completed
and the committees required to draw up
the constitution, bylaws, etc. had been
appointed, and the District Assembly ad
journed to meet in Deer Lodge on the first
Sunday in June next. The following are

The Emmett Anniversary.

With commendable zeal and patriotism
the Robert Emmett Literary Club OF Butte
have decided to celebrate in a fitting man.
ner the anniversary of the birth OF the
martyr hero whose name the society bears.
This occurs on March 4, and the gentle
men intend that the event shall be honored
with more than usual eclat. While the
time for the writing of Emmet's epitaph
has not yet arrived, the more sanguine Of
his race think they can see that the time
is fast approaching when it may be inscribed
upon his tomb. The celebration in Butte will
consist OF parade by day and lecture in
the evening, Hon. Martin Maginnis having
accepted an invitation to deliver an oration
on Emmett. The distinguished gentleman
mas been often heard through this Territory
upon political and kindred subjects, and it
will be new departure to hear him talk
upon a theme which is 80 inspiring as the
life and death OF the hero Emmett. The
Association cannot fail to have large
audience and the orator cannot fail to
please and interest them. The gentleman
and his cause alike commend themselves
to the good people Of Butte.

ceived instructions from New York regard
ing transcontinental roads. The Northern

freight rate from the East to Portland and
San Francisco. Passenger rates have also
been cut and first-class limited tickets can
now be obtained for $65 to $50 to San
