RAILROAD MATTERS.
The New Traffic Agreement and the
Centlemen's Association.

NEW YORK, October 30.-The Tribune
says: "The signing of traffic agreement
between the Union Pacific and the Chicago
& Northwestern railroads has led recently to
many sensational reports. On one hand it
has been asserted that this contract presaged
the implication of the railroads Of the coun-
try, and on the other it has been predicted
that the lines outside of the agreement
would begin savage war in rates. In both
directions the Importance OF the agreement
has been magnifed beyond measure. 1t has
been reported, in the interest Of the "bear"
faction in the stock market, that other west
ern railroads would oppose in every way the
practical execution of the contract, and that
the Rock Island and the st. Paul companies
who made the famous tripartite agreement
with the Union Pacific would unite in at
tempts to defeat it. There is no ground for
these rumors. r. r. Gable, president of the
Rock Island railway, was at the company's
office in this city yesterday, and was seen by
our reporter, to whom he said: There is no
combination between the Rock Island and
other roads in opposition to the reported
agreement between the Union Pacific and
the Northwestern systems. Certainly, If
any such combination has been made, or
contemplated. it has been without my knowl-
edge, and do not think the directors would
take such action without consulting me. On
the part of the Rock Island, in fact. there IL
no opposition to the contract between the
Union Pacific and the Northwestern. do
not yet know what it is. but assume that
the Union Pacific would not sell to somebody
else what it had already sold to US"
CHICAGO, October 30-The Interstate
Commerce Railway Association is
practically dead. The Rock Island,
Burlington and st. Panl roads take the
ground that the agreement was violated by
the traffic arrangements of the Union Pacific
and Northwestern. and they will consider
the agreement annulled.

The Report of General Miles.

WASHINGTON, October 30.-The annual
report of Brigadier General Nelson A. Miles,
commanding the Division of the Pacific, has
been received at the War Department. He
assumed command November %, 1888, the
division then, as now, comprising the De-
partments of Columbia. California and Ari-
Zona, with troops stationed in the States of
California, Nevada and Oregon, and the
Territories OF Washin Ston, Idaho, Arizona,
New Mexico and Alaska. In the aggregate
there are 5000 troops occupying territory, not
including Alaska, of 775,36O square miles,
with 14O0 miles of seacoast. Cos miles of Mex
lean and 499 miles of British Columbia
frontier. The General says reports to
him show that the administration of
military affairs is in a satisfactory condition
that the troops are well-governed, disciplined
aud instructed, and that the general tons and
character of the service is very cOmmenda-
BILE. There has been no serious disturbance
of the peace, nor any occasion for the exer-
else OF the troops other than the ordinary
duties of the garrison service. While the
great part of the work of the army in secur-
ing peace and prosperity to the Western part
OF the country seems to have been accom-
plished, it could not be withdrawn without
imminent danger to many sections.
