Probable Change in the Chairman Of the
Southwestern Association.

CHICAGO, April 7.-COnsiderable interest
Is felt in the meeting of the Southwestern
Railway and Steamship Association, to be
held In this city next week. The reason is
that unless Traffic Manager Waldo of the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas road can be
persuaded to abandon the position he has
lately assumed the association will lose its
chairman, j. B. Faithorn. The election of
chairman Will come up at the meeting,
and Waldo will vote against Mr.. Faithorn,
thus retiring him, unanimous vote being
necessary to elect. Mr.. Waldo's reason for
making war on the chairman in this matter
Is apparently not clearly understO TODD by any,
body Two decisions by the boards of
arbitration were returned to-day. The
cases were where the Chicago, st. Paul ard
Kansas City road was the appellant. They
were exactly OF the same nature and the
same evidence was submitted in each. In
both cases the Maple Leaf was charged
with tie misuse of mileage tickets. Ia the
flrst case the decision Of the chairman, that
the road was guilty of the o1fense charged,
was sustained. In the other case the Board
OF Arbitration reversed the chairmanS de-
c1slon. As the cases were precisely similar
the Maple Leaf will ask that the first deci-
sion be overruled also.
Trans-Iissouri Rates.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. April The April
cation was cleared to-day and the associa-
tlOn adjourned until tie next regular meet
ing. The question Of limiting the amount
Oh switching charges at Kansas City that
are afforded by the road TO 81, leaving the
remainder TO be paid by the coDsignee, was
referred to the general agents of the road.
The coal check was completed and the new
rates Will go into effect July l. The Rock
Island anu Santa Fe could not agree ON the
rates TO be charged on shipments from
nf old nd nj 1la
kans., aud these rates were omitted from
the check, the fighting roads being left to
end their controversy as best they may.
Inc question OF percentage division TO be
applied on shipments Of wheat mlled in
transit from points west of the Missouri
River and Chicago was referred to joint

Other Railroad Deals.
NEW YORK, April Z. There was Il rush
TO DEPOSIT Richmond Terminal securities
under the OlcOtt plan to-day, and the pros
poets Tor the plan have materially frightened.
In fast II Is now probable that a majority
Of Richmond Terminal securities will be de-
posted before April TO- and that the plan
will then be declared effective.
Tie Wall-street Journal SAYS on the re-
ported change IN the management of the
Union Pacific: No one has been definitely
selected for president The mention Of
HughettS name is simply incidental be-
cause The road will be closer allied to the
Northwest system. Ii is not probable how
ever, that Huchett will accept the presi-
dency If the Union Pacific is maintained as
an independent property. Ames OF Boston
could have the presidency IL he would take
it. Tie is the choice of Boston and the for
egn interests and in thorough sympathy
with the present efforts to change the man
agement.
Union Pacific officials admit there is
concerted movement on the part OF foreign
stockholders 10 srcuIe certain changes in
the management of the property. They say
the Chief dissatisfaction of security holders
abroad lies IN tile fact that General Man
ager Clark of the Union Pacific occupies tue
same position on the Missouri Pacific
competing line. The strength of the oppo-
sltion has not been clearly developed, but
should IL be considerable il is intimated con-
eesslOns Will be granted, although the
nature OF them is not stated.
The Posts London special says: j. Pier
p0nt Morgan is here. He denies tie rumored
acquisition of the Union Pacific by the
Nanderbits.
