NEW YeRK. June 1Sth-C. P. Hunting
ton, in further conversation about the Chi
cago arbitration, said to-day: q | think
the decision different from that given out
IT was generally in our favor, and has
given satisfaction to the Southern Pacific
Company One of the principal points de-
cided was that the Atchison must pro-
rate on the rates which previously had
been agreed to-"
General Eastern Agent Hawley of the
Sunset route told your representative

iEg, the recent decision was in favor of our
company on every point. The decision it.
self as sent to all parties interested, con-
tains The following 1t is the decision Of
the arbitrators that the Atlantic Company
has the right to make any rate that may be
given, accepted or permitted by any
through line, and such rates are TO be di-
vided between the Southern Pacific Com
pany and the Atlantic and Pacific Com
pany as provided for in the contract The
officers of the Atchison road claim that
the above is entirely in their favor and in
wolves the payment to them of about $780,
900. They assert that if the Southern Pa
cific had conceded that one point no arbi-
tration would have been necessary When
arbitration was resorted to, they had Other
matters called up and examined. Regard
ing them they profess to have had small
concern, their chief object being to defeat
the claim OF the Southern Pacific, and that
the rates provided for in the contract were
tariff rates.
Governor Hill, of New York.
BosToN, June 1Sth.-The Democratic
Club gave dinner tonight in honor oi
Governor Hill. Hill replied at some
To oh FL
birthplace of Horatio Seymour Samuel J.
Tilden and Grover Cleveland The last
name he referred to as " the honored Chief
Magistrate of the country, who is now SO
ably and satisfactorily discharging the i'm
portant duties of his high trust" 0fPresi-
dent Cleveland he further said:
We have President whose honesty and
sincerity of purpose to serve the people faith
fully is conceded by every one. He may make
them? Permit me TO suggest, at this time,
that our opponents cannot disturb our .equa-
nimity by intimating that we.are disappointed
about the spOils of Office. There is no such dis
appointment. The Democratic party has higher
aims and purposeb tnah the mere distribution
of party patronage. We must not forget that
the President in his desire to reform abuse, and
to give the country a better Government by
agents selected by himself has been observed
by an adverse Senate. The faithful have been
rejected, or their nominations have not been
party men, and that was all.
Governor Hill expressed it as his opinion
that the President should have power to ap-
point, untrammeled by Senate confirm
alton, and added:
lam entirely opposed to any policy or scheme
which prevents any administration from recog-
nizing faithful party service in the distribution
of the important offices of the Government
am not in favor of mere sentimental appoint
ments
He was vociferously eheered.
Blaine in 1855.
NEW York, June 1Sth.-Joseph Medill,
editor Of the Chicago Tribune, is at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. When asked about
the lookout for 1888, he said !; " The West
is solid and unanimous for Blaine, and will
be until the Convention meets. 1t is not a
sporadic sentiment, but an epidemic among
the people and the mass of voters who
recognize Blaine's ability and statesman
ship. The old ticket is echoed on the
street corners, in the shops, among farmers,
and, indeed, wherever you go; and these
are Republican voters. Outside of New
York State | can speak positively that
Blaine will have a solid delegation from
every State. 1t will be an enthusiasm that
has not been witnessed in great many
years. If New York sends delegation for
him there will be no ballot whatever, but
his nomination will be made unanimous
by rising vote, like Grants in 1868
Rival Theaters.
New York, June 1Sth.-Wallack' S and
the Biiou Theater, across the street, are
playing the same comic opera. At Wall
ack's it is called +" The Growing Hem and
the Bijou 1.-The Bridal Trip" Wallack' S
people got big China hen, which was ap-
parently growing Justify, and put it over
the entrance to the theater. The next
night the Bijou people hung an immense
rat trap, in which was dead rooster, over
the entrance to their theater, and beneath
the rat-trap was sign on which was writ
ten, ave have no need to crow The
wall of Wallack's is being painted white.
Last night the Bijou people had stereopti-
con ON theroofof their building and amused
themselves by exhibiting on Wallack' S
wall across the street sketches and pointed
Jokes at Wallack's and their Growing hen.
The Wallack's folks did not discover the
trick that was being played upon them,
until the assembly of great crowd in front
of the theater gave them the tip, when they
sent for a lot of calcium lights, and by
turning them on the wall drowned out the
stereopticon pictures. Five thousand peo-
pie crowded the sidewalk, and Captain
Williams had to call out the reserves.
Ell PAso (Tcxas), June 1Sth.-A few
months ago the depredations and outrages
committed by confidence men and bunkos
on American tourists at Paso del Norte be-
came so fragrant that popular indignation
and spasmodic fit of justice on the part OF
the Mexican officials drove them away.
To-day an attempt was made to revive
bunkoism, but it was promptly squelched
by the new Mayor of Paso del Norte. A
confidence man named Joseph G. Nichols
was caught in the act of robbing an Ameri-
can named Gunter, of South Carolina who
is on his way to California of $50 in money
and a gold watch. He was arrested by
Mayor Provencio and detective Wag, This
is the first attempt to revive bunkoism in
Paso del Norte, and the Mayor says he
will at to-morrows trial see to it that it is
souelched.

Democratic Loss OF Opportunity.
PHILADELPHIA, June 18th - The Press
saws editorially: The Democratic party
leaders have again lost their opportunity
and shown their inability to reform the
tariff. 1t must be done by the Republicans
when it is done. The Republicans will go
before the people this fall with the Nor
rison bill pending. The issue with the
people will be Do you want this sort of a
tariff bill which destroys certain agricult-
ural interests and revises no defects of the
law, OK do you want the irregularities of
the law carefully corrected with fairness to
an interests After having repeatedly
failed, are the people likely 70 trust the
Democratic party again?
