NEW York. Dec S.-The railroad con-
ference Of Northwestern managers is
progressing. It is hoped the war will bs
settled here. President Porter of the
Omaha road says that If an agreement
Is reached 1t will be an agreeable sur
prise to him. He certainly will not re-
cede. Mitchell of st. Paul saws he can't
say an agreement will be reached. The
position of st. Paul is pretty we'll un-
derstOOd. The meeting, after a two
hours session, adjourned to tomorrow.
Senator Joues lnterviewed.
CHICAGO, Dec. S.-To q reporter here
yesterday Senator Jones said that he
did not advocate the river and harbOr
bill, because be couldn't find even a
two foot stream in Nevada, save the Su-
tro Tunnel, and there was nothing to
Appropriate for.
How do the people Of the Pacific
slope take the Presidents reoommenda-
ton respecting the coinage of the siver
dollar?
They don't like 1t at all. 1t will an
taROnize both parties on the slope. The
fact is We live more and have our being
by business done in handling the pre-
ciOus metals. Another thing TO be con-
sidered is that the President is away off
as to the facts attending the distribution
OF silver. There is no glut of dollars
in the country. The ninety million
dollars silver in the Treasury vaults is
represented by silver certificates in the
hands OF the people. Hence, silver il
not burden, nor an ANNOYANCE, nor is
there too much of it in circulation.
What do you know about the Nor
mons?
Quite . considerable. have lived
among them and been acquainted with
their history from the Mountain Meadow
massacre down to now. Polygamists
do the bidding of polyRamists. The Ed
munds bill will prove Of no avail in
stamping out polyGamy. Something
will have to be done in the nature of
government oyer Utah such as the Dis
trict Of Columbia has. The rule of the
Territory by Commissioners appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate is no good. The MOrmons are
getting q greater foothold every day.
They have big lobby in Warrington
now endeavoring to make State of
Federal interference" II would be
dangerous for either party to regard the
lobby and admit Utah into the family
of States.
What do you think of Senator Logan's
in the message about Chinese coolies in
Cuba not being allowed to pass through
the country?
The proposition is combatted on the
Pacific coast. There are 60.0O0 coolies
them. II they we're allowed to leave
Cuba for China ad libitum, they would
take mp their quarters in this country,
and it would only be q pretsnse to ad-
init these Cinnamon now excluded IN
der the treaty.

WAsxM0fox, Dec. g. In the Star
Route case this morning. DavidGe said
the defense had no motion to make in
respect TO the array, aud we're willing to
begin the argument as to tie number of
peremptory challenges to which the de-
tense u entitled. A discussion then en-
sued a. 10 tho time of the argument and
of its decision. Judge Wylis intimated
that his mind Tabu!a rdse on the point;
that he desired enliehtenment from .
re-argument, but would not announoe
his decision until the question properly
arose. Coansel for the dsfcnse idsisted
that il would b unfair 10 require them
to proceed in the dark on q matter OF
such vital interest. Ono statute gives
the defense four challenges, and mono
to the Governneni; another Riyes three
to the 0ovspnment, and three to the
defense. The question ar0oo a. 70
whether the several defendants should
be regarded ~ one paTty. il was Q
complicated state of a6AifD.
