prominent obstacles have been the refusal
OF the Chicago and Northwestern to pool
its range-cattle business originating in
western Nebraska and Wyoming, and
the demand of the Missouri Pacific
that, by reason of its Lincoln, Neb,
extension, it should be awarded a
share of the through business. The first
was settled by virtually conceding to The
Northwestern its point. This was done by
removing the western boundary line of the
range cattle pool as it formerly existed,
tine, Brady Island and Indianola, Neb. to
Laramie City and Douglas. This gives
the Northwestern control of all the
cattle shipped on its line west of Norfolk
to Fort Fetterman, from which 1t will ex-
act local rates, and not report its business
TO any pool. As both the Union Pacific
and Burlington are building into that
Territory it will not enjoy the monopoly
longer than the present season. The
other bone of contention was amicably
divided by giving the Missouri Pacific
four per cent. in the pool on the through
business, and awarding the Omaha two per
cent. The Kansas City, st. Joseph and
Council Bluffs is awarded six per cent. OF
the gross earnings in the Council Bluffs
local pool Otherwise percentages remain
unchanged. a committee of one from
each road was appointed 10 perfect
the minor details of the pool,
to report to general meeting
at ii A. NJ. tomorrow, TO which time an
adjournment was taken. The pool, which
will endure five years, will go into effect
September 5th, with General Fatthern IS
Commissioner. This completes one of the
most important and far-reaching railroad
combinations every made in the West.

1lle's Washington special of September 9th

months will be a period Of great activity in
the navy yards at Portsmouth, Brooklyn
Norfolk and Mare Island 1t has been dis
covered that repairs are necessary to almost
every ship within reach of the yards men,
| toned, and that the interests of the Gov
| ernment require that the repairs should be
| completed, if practicable before the middla
| of November, as the Congressional cleo
| tions in New Hampshire, New York, Vir-
ginia and California will take place on
| November ID. 1t is hoped that by work

The Unification of Central America.
New York, September 1Oth.-The Tfi5-
1sHe says: In regard to the story published
recently of a combination between Marco
Aurelius Soto, ex-President of Honduras,
and ex-President Zaldivar of Salvador, TO
effect the unitication OF the Central Amer
can Republic, gentleman well versed in
Central American matters said =" 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that Soto represents the idea
of Central American unity, and is the only
man who can effect it. He and Zaldivar
are now in San Jose, the capital of Costa
Rica. l know that the scheme of Central
American unity has the support of Mexico,
and believe that the statement that Secre-
tary Bayard has signitied his approval of
the plan is also correct. Delgado's revolu-
ton is making headvay in Honduras, and
! do not believe that Bogran can long main
tain his seat. The people there want Soto
back, for they remember what nc did for
the country. He built railroads and estab-
lished companies for developing the coun-
try's great mineral resources. Soto put into
the head of Barrios the idea of Central
American uniication."
