LONDON, Aug. ia serious hitch has arisen
in negotiations between the striking workmen
in Wales and their employers, impairing the
prospects of a speedy termination of the diff :.
culties. The men submitted to the companies
scheme of settlement which the latter promised
to consider, 1t was believed that the agreement
would be accepted, but the companies alter con-
sidering the matter, have substituted a form OF
portant particular from the one framed
and threaten great strike on Monday, which
will involve a large nGmber OF worEmen not

Mayfield, Nacogdoches, vice-president,

They will begin business with the very
best outlook for success this winter as our
crops are very fine, which taken in con-
nection with the vast lumber interest on
this road will give good business to both
| banks. Most of the lumbermen now do
their banking in Houston, for the want
| of facilities nearer home. This reason
will no longer exist. There Is now two,
and only two, banks on this whole line
of road from Shreveport to Houston.

THE RAILROADS.
Jobbers in Texas Want Fewer Common
Points and Wider Differentials.
Lively Railroad Building to Commence In the
NOrthwest-President Adams said TO
be in Danger-General Notes.

The meeting of the Texas traffic managers
which has been in session in Chicago all this
week had accomplished nothing up to yesterday
IN the way of arranging the rate troubles. The
present demoraIized condition of freight rates
to Texas common points, as stated IN III E
GAZETTE several days ago grew out OF the
rivalry between three cities ali claiming to be by
right the distributing point for Texas business
These three points-St Louis, New Orleans and
7alveston-have their representatives at the
,,bicago meeting and are working hard in the
interest Of thei res pective cities. EaCh charges
that determinations have been mace Dy tne
railroads in favor of the other, ana ~ loohS ~
as il the fight has been transferred IoLh AeA'-S
While 6ialyestou ST. Louis and New Orleans
may be, and doubt are, deeply interested IN u
the fight as it now stands, no feature mas COINS
I'M in the meeting as yet that is particularly IN
tgreSting TO the interior Texas JoDDers. InCS
rf1r inbbars care not whether New Orleans, Gal
yrst%n or st, Louis is the distributing point,
but what they wish and what II IS hopeu me
meeting viii consider is lower local rates anu =
contraction of common point territory as Meti
as wider difference between the rates on car
load shipments and smaller lois. VIII tHS
common point territory as large as u Is anu
with the narrow difference between caFIoau lGts
and smaller shipments, as they no" eAlsti ~
terror iJbbers in Texas do business AT eisau ,
vantage. This fact is as well known 70 ralIIoau
managers as 1t IS TO the JoopTIs IN
selves, and the only relief the iob6ers can
ct is within the power of the railroads
to give. A leading merchant in the city yesteT-
daT, in speaking OF this matter to 8 GAlEIIE re-
porter said: The wide stretch OF territory over
which common points have been established by
the railroads, is doing great injury to the whole
,,r,Iass fbe territory is contracted and wider
dR.rential is given between carload and small Ell
los we might as well hang up and give up the
trade of the state to cities in other states.
mates NO difference how many rate wars may
conc IN or how low rates may go down from
New York to Texas common points, they WI
DO the interior merchants no GOOD unless tht
rpliaf T sneak OF is granted. The railroads coulC
do US a great deal OF good and not suffer IN the
least if they would only do it.

An Imnrobnhle story.

According to a story printed in the Omaha
Bee, President Adams of the Union Pacific road
holds his Office by very uncertain tenure AMI
is liable TO be forced to resign within the nexs
twelve months According to this story he
fast losing his influence with the Boston capl-
talists, of which Frederick Ames is one, who
have been supporting him all along. The
trouble, it is said, originated from the separa-
ton of tn Union Pacific system into four divis-
ions, which required four sets of general
ial interests and increasing expenses enor-
mously. This plan, which was tried without
success by the Northern Pacific, has proven a
failure on the Union Pacific, and this everyone
admits but Mr. Adams, because his position de-
ponds on the outcome of the policy. II 1t can
finally be made success without bankruptlng
the road he will be a great ruan, but II, as Is
predicted, it fails, off goes his head.

THE REVIVAL SERVICES.
The Meetings at Daggett schoOlhOuse Arbor go
on Successfully.

on Successfully.
A large attendance again encouraged
the workers last evening at the arbor in
the Third ward.
Let the good work go on, for the cause
Is great and blessed of the Lord.
The article of yesterday morning 8 GA
zETTE referring to these meetings being
for the lower classes was a misnomer,
and intended to refer to the m ceilings
held nightly out of doors at the emission
rooms'' for the poor street children, and
men who roam the streets. These meet
ings are greatly blessed. Twenty little
street arabs listened last evening to the
Gospel sound, and four old men who at
tended arose for prayers. These are
nightly scenes of loves labor for the
Lord at the Bethel rooms.
The Union Bethel Mission is composed
| of earnest Christian workers OF all
churches in the city, organized for the
purpose OF establishing mission Sunday
schools, reading rooms for laboring men
| and street preaching, to especially teach
| Gods poor and men on the streets; also
to assist all church missions, camp re-
vivaI services and other good works.
The meetings at Daggett's schoolhouse
| will be conducted as a regular revival
service for some thirty days, for any and
all who will come, just as the Sam Jones
| and Dixie Williams meetings were, and
are supported and taken part in by the
best citizens, members of the Bethel
mission and other Christian workers.
Go and help the good work.

Several hundred men left St. Paul last week
FOR Fort Assinaboine to begin the construction
of the Great Norther IN extension to the summit
of the Rockies. The contract calls for the
grading of the road and the laying OF the track
the materials for the latter being furnished by
the railroad company. The country is rolling
prairie and the bed will be about three feet
above the level. This .rifiing elevation obvlates
much of the trouble from snow storms, as the
banking of the snow at side of the track
gives an incline, from which the wind tears the
flakes and hustles them into the air and away
II is expected that 100 miles of the line will be
completed by November /, while the remaining
twenty five mi es, which elm the sides Of the
Rockies, will require until spring for their COM
Dl elton.
