To-Day.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The first
subject discussed at t0-day's session OF
the state railroad commissioners coll
ference was that of uniform classified
ton. At the conclusion of the debate
Commissioner Crocker, of Massachusetts,
introduced a resolution. which was
adopted, declaring that still further ad-
vance toward uniform classification of
freight would promote the welfare and
convenience of shippers and Of the rail-
road companies, and commencing con-
servative and persistent effort to that
end. Mr.. Spaulding, OF Kentucky,
from the committee to which was
referred the matter OF uniform system
of reports to be made annually by the
railroads to the state commissioners
made partial report. Among the rec
concentrations was one that the fiscal
year should end June 80, and that a
book of forms be adopted, copies of
which were submitted. The report was
adopted and the committee continued.
Railroad LEGISLATION" was the next
subject for consideration. 4 paper on
the subject, prepared by Commissioner
Smith, of Iowa, was referred without
reading TO a committee, to which was
also referred the whole subject of uni
fOTmlty IN railway legislation, with IN
structions to report at later session.
The resolution further declared that an
nual conventions of the commissioners
were desirable, and that committee
of three members Of the conference
acting with Chairman Cooley, of the
interstate commerce commission. be APP
pointed to fix the time and place of
holding the next annual meeting. The
resolution was adopted. On motion of
Mr.. CTocker, resolution was adopted
uTgnig the interstate commerce COM
mission to earnestly consider what can
be done to prevent the present dreadful
loss of life and limb in coupling and
uncoupling freight cars. And, further,
in what way the growth of the system
OF heating passenger cars from the To-
comotive or other single source can be
promoted. to the end that the commits
sion may make recommendations in the
premises to the various railroads within
its jurisdiction, a. / make such sugges-
tiOns as 70 legislation on these subjects
as may seem to it necessary and eXpedi-
ent. The conference then adjourned

ALMIGHTY CONSULTATION.
Union Pacific Branch Lines Gen.
tering at Ogden to Be Placed
Under One MANAGEMENT.

Boston, March 6.-The following
was given out at the office of the Union
Pacific Railroad company to-day: For
some time past the question of consol-
idation of the branch lines of the Union
Pacific system centering at Ogden has
been under consideration. The neces-
Sary papers have now been drawn up.
and the directors have the immediate
consolidation of the Oregon Short Line
and the Utah & Northern Railroad com
panies before them. The first step in
bringing this about was taken at
trustees, held on Monday of this week,
and the succeeding steps will be taken
as rapidly as forms of law will permit.
By the consolidation of the Oregon
Short Line and the Utah & Northern
companies all questions of rates and
division of business, as between these
two companies, will be settled. The
consolidated company will probably be
known as the Oregon Short Line &
Utah d Northern Railway company. 1t
will operate 1851 miles of railroad be-
tween Granger and Ogden on the south
and Huntington and Butte on the north
and west. The gross income of the
two lines composing the consolidated
company for the year 1888 was 50, IT.
600. Their operating expenses were
S2,S50,0OO; their net revenue was
$,9sO,0O0, or $575,OOO above fixed
charges. The question of incorpora-
ting with this company the
other Utah lines of the Union Pacific
system is also under consideration. 1t
may or may not be decided upon at a
later day. There are four of these
companies: The Utah Central, operat-
ing twenty-eight miles; the Utah &
Nevada, thirty-seven miles; the Salt
Lake & Western, sixty-eight miles. and
the Ogden d Syracuse, six miles.
Should this larger consolidation here
after be decided upon, 1.436 miles of
road would thus be brought under one
management instead of being under
four managements. as at present. The
proposed consolidation if carried
through in all it's parts, will un-
doubtedly exercise a decided influence,
not only upon the affairs of the Union
Pacific, but upon the future develop
ment of the whole territory tributary to
Salt Lake City and Ogden.

A SETTLEMENT.

The Manitoba Government and
the Manitoba & Northwestern
Reach an Agreement.
Special to the GLOBE.
WINNIPEG. Man., March 6.-The
trouble between the government and
the Manitoba & Northwestern Railway
company has been settled. The COM
pany is in arrears $780, 900 and the prov
ince is losing $1,000 per year interest on
that sum. The government threatened
to repeal an order in council by which
they bound themselves not to sell the
lands of the company, which might fall
into their hands, for less than $3.50 per
acre for twenty-five years. The COM
pany protested vigorously, alleging that
it was on the faith of this order that the
bonds of the road were sold. If the
government had carried out its threat
the credit of the company would have
been SO injured as to force it to sell out
to the Northern Pacific. 1t is limited
that this was the desire of Railway
Commissioner Martin. But better coun-
sells prevailed and settlement has been
reached. The company is to pay it's in
debtedness within a year, giving its en-
tire land grant as security.

AN INSURANCE FAILURE.

COLUMBUS, o., March 6.-Proceed-

mon pleas this morning looking to the
dissolution of the Mahoning National
Life association, corporation organ
lied under the laws of the state to do a
life insurance business on the mutual
assessment plan. The gentlemen whose
names are attached to the papers as
petitioners are Messrs Harvey Hatch,

Wagenhal, medical director; ID. E.
Stevens, president; John q. Rein
hard, treasurer; and John ID.
Abdill, secretary, all of whom,
except MIR. Hatch, are residents of this
city. The reason for this step on the
part of the officers is that during the
past year an unexpected and phenom-
onahy heavy death rate has made it
necessary to increase the number of as
Sessments, the result of which has been
that more than half of the entire men,

Last Years Rates Adopted for
1889 by Agreement Yesterday.

CLEVELAND, o., March 6.-The solu-
ton of pool rates to lake ports for the

tween the Ohio and Pittsburg coal fields,
the rates from Pittsburg to the lake

the Hooking Valley and other Ohio
fields IS cents ton. The Ohio roads
had previously had 20-cent difference,
but by the united and determined action
of the Pennsylvania operators and roads
it was reduced last year to cents. By
agreement to-day the rates that pre-
vailed last year were adopted for 1889.

PORTLAND, Ore, March 6.-Orders
have recently been issued from the
head Offices of the Oregan Railway and
Navigation company, in New York,
authorizing a reduction of wages of all
the company's employees on the river
division. The orders were that the
wages of all persons from $50 and up
ward per month be reduced 10
per cent. This affects materially
the wages of captains, pilots, mates and
engineers. The result has been that all
have refused to work. All the boats of
the company on the Willamette and
Columbia rivers are tied up and there is
a general suspension of travel over
these lines. The same state of affairs
exists over OH Puget sound. Public
sympathy is with the strikers. The

An effort is being made to raise an endow-
ment fund of $4,000 for the institution, and
Mr.. Bernard Tyrrell, one OF the teachers in
the college, is In the city to solicit subscrip-
tions for that purpose. Mr.. Tyrrell is a
bright and intelligent colored man and has
made an excellent impression wherever he

siderable contribution. The Second Parish
congregation also has contributed literally.
This evening Mr.. Tyrrell will speak at the
latter church. He is hopeful that the de-
sired $4,000 will be obtained; $11. 900 has al
ready been secured. Storer College during
its existence has sent out 400 teachers and
there are at present $50 pupils in the institu-
ton. 1t is doing good work, but is greatly
