RAILROAD ANIM0SITIES.
The Union Pacific and the Burlington, and
the Latters Future Plans.

Especial 10 THE HERALD-Examincr Dispatch ]
new YORK, Nov. 6.-There was rumor
this morning that the president of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
had come last week all the way from his
home in Burlington, Iowa, to this city, and
that the directors of the road, or number
of them, came from their residences in
Boston and Chicago to meet him, and that
they held a secret meeting, the purpose of
which was to consider the affairs of their
charge in relation to the recent railroad
development and the rumors of develop
ment in the northwest John N. A. Girls
void, a director of the road, was questioned
concerning the rumor and said:
Il do not think there was any such meet
ing as you speak Of At present l know
the president of the road. Charles F. Par
kins, of Burlington, Iowa, is III the west
and with him are several of our most
active directors who joined him about two
weeks ago. They are engaged. presume,
IN looking for a new outlet to the Pacific
coast since the agreement which has been
formed between the Chicago & Northa
western and the Union Pacific. Up to this
time we have exchanged business with the
Union Pacific, but under this new deal,
presume that that road will now give all its
business to the Chicago s. Northwestern
1t is d blow aimed at US, but not more than
at the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul or at
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific We
all feel equally grieved over it. 1t appears
to be good thing for the Chicago &;
Northwestern, and l don't blame it for eff
fecting the consolidation, but we shall see
whether in the end it is wholly advantage
Gus to it and its patrons. l do not think
the arrangement is going to hurt the Cali
fornia business of the Chicago Burning ton
& Quincy, although it may take away much
of our Oregon business. We can easily
transfer the former from the Union Pacific
to the Southern Pacific, and presume that
our agent in San Francisco will now make
contracts with that road and the Rio
Grande Western. We can further COM
pete with the new combination by reducing
the rates on our line between Denver md
Chicago This we shall probably do.
There has always been some antagonism
between the Union Pacific and the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, and this is only one
moro exhibition of it'll

red last night in a low negro saloon in a
disreputable portion eff the city known as
'sHelrs bottom" which resulted in the
death of two men and probable mortal

Osbourne Basey. They met last night
when Bush fired four shots, two hitting
Basey, one in the lungs and one in the
shoulder Policeman A N. Cripper pur-
sued Bush into neighboring house Bush
turned and fired, hitting the policeman in
the breast and knocking him down. The
latter fired twice while down, hitting the
negro in the breast both times. They then
grappled. In the struggle the negroes re-
volver discharged again, the bullet enter
ing the polceman's brain and killing him in-
stantly, Bush died later. Base will prob
ably die

A BIT OF ANCIENT HISTORY.
The Story Of How and Why Cyrus W. Field
Retired from Wall Street.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
New YORK, Nov. Cone of the local
sheets Of class that virtually levies a tax
upon the business of Wall street. brought
some ancient history to the surface Mon
day, printing paragraph to the effect that
MIR. Cyrus w. Field had parted with his
large interest in the ted States National
bank. The fact is Mr.. Field parted with
the interest referred to over two years ago,
when the break in Manhattan Elevated
railway stock from about 100 to 100 caused
him to retire permanently from active life
in Wall street. On one occasion Mr.. Field
pledged his bank stock, his stock in the
Washington building on Broadway
and State street and shares of the
Mail and Express with Mrs. Hopkins, now
Mrs. NJ. +. S. Searles, to secure large
advances. In time the collateral became
her property and she employed Messrs
Butler, Stillman az Hubbard to assist her
IN the management and disposition of it.
They succeeded in selling the newspaper
and six months ago Messrs. Stillman and
Hubbard, and certain of their friends,
bought the greater part of the United
States bank stock from Mrs. Searles and
practically reorganized the institution.

bank was organized to give General Grant
position. 1t is said that the Mail and En-
press was not sold for enough to reimburse
Mrs. Searles for the amount advanced on
the stock, but her compulsory investment
in United States bank stock is working
out all right. 1t is understood she is salts

The Battle Shin Texas.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The board ap-
pointed by Secretary Tracy to examine the
plans upon which the cruiser Texas is
being constructed at the Norfolk navy
yard has completed its work and will sub
nit report in a few days. The opinion
of the officials about the department is that
the report will confirm the accuracy of the
calculations made in the bureau of con-
struction and repair, which show, if con-
structed according to the present design,
the Texas will be sixteen inches further
under the water than the plans contem-
plate. This would carry great portion of
her armor under the water, rendering it a
useless burden.

BoIEs' BIG PLURALITY.

DUBUQUE. Nov. 6.-The Herald has re
turns from sixty seven counties i'll the
state. These give Boes a plurality of
$1,000. The remaining thirtytwo counties
in 1887 gave Republican plurality of
IL ,29S. On this basis Boies already has
1872 in sixty-seven counties, so that all
gains in the remaining thirty two counties
will simply add to his plurality. If the
same rate of Democratic gains continue
through the thirty-three counties, Boies
will have plurality in the state of from
5000 to 10000 The Herald claims it is now
impossible to defeat him and his plurality
is only question of gains. In the remain
ing third of the state it is not known
whether the remainder Of the ticket is
elected or not, for Boies runs ahead. If
his majority should reach more than 5000,
it is almost certain to take the balance of
the ticket.
