LIVESTOCK RATES.

No Conclusion Arrived at by the Meeting nj
ST. Louix
The conference at St. Lonts between
the representatives OF Texas railroads
the Interstate association and seVerai
Northern lines, held for the purpose OF
aligning the livestock rates from Texas
amounted to nothing, owing, so It is SAID
to the fact that the Rock Island road was
not represented. That road was tele-
grapbed to and the answer sent was OF
such a character as to decide the confer
.ucs TO adjourn after directing the i've
stock committee 10 meet in ChlraEo'
where the conference would be con-
tiuued. 1t was hoped that the R"rK
Island representative would attend the
conference and that the rates could he
lined up.
There Is an impression in this city that
the Rock Island is rather master OF the
situation, and il Is suggested 10y some
that that road will not consent to All al
vance of rates that will swallow up ths
results of the Atoms cut. The impress
/ sion, 10 the contrary, prevails that the
/ Rock Island will rather insist on the es-
tahlishment of rates that will give snip
pers the full benefit OF that cut. Inc
/ Rock Island road is going to handle
great many more cattle this year '"a'
ever before, on account OF It's sou' l"
western extension, and Is going 10 nav
/ something to say about cattle rates

THE election Of Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson
to the position Of chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee Of the state
will be regarded with very general satisiac-
ton by the members Of the party through
ont Virginia. The selection is an admira-
Bile one in every respect. Mr. Ellyson is
still young man in years, but one who has
enjoyed slong experience in public affairs,
having filled with distinguished ability
every public position to which he has been
called. Capable, energetic, conservative
and firm, be promises to make one Of the
most competent chairmans Of the state
Committee who has ever occupied that re-
sponsible and onerous position. He enters
upon it with the best wishes and with the
most sangune expectations in his favor of
all his party associates in every part Of Viz
ginia.
