JUSTICE FIELD.

Inquiries Fail to Corroborate the
statement That He WIZ Resign.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. I7.-Inquiries fail
to corroborate the statement that Justice
Field designs Offering his resignation to
President Harrison, so that he may ap-
point a successor before Cleveland's re-
turn to Office.
The story is believed, however, and in
innate friends of Field assert that the
resignation will no doubt be forthcoming
unless Cleveland will pledge his word
that he viii not appoint as his (tieId's)
successor Judge Wallace of San Fran
cisco. 1t is true that Judge Field is not
on the most friendly terms with Cleye-
land, but those who are acquainted with
the circumstance which have given rise
to the rumors OF the formers retirement
say that the bad feeling is not strong
enough to prompt Justice Field to COM
nit an act which will add another to the
Republican Judges on the Supreme
bench. But tield's animosity against
Wallace is of such a character that he
will takeno chances of the San Franciscan
beIng appointed. and as he has heard that
Cleveland regards Wallace with favor, no
doubt he has taken steps to secure assur-
ances that the appointment will not 90 to
the California Judge. Failing to receive
such an assurance, Field will probably
tender his resignation and give Harrison
an opportunity to appoint a Republican
to fill the vacancy.

Presidents of the Roads Decide to Pool
the Business.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-At meeting of
the Presidents of all the seaboard trunk
lines doing business to the West, held
here, it was decided that the only way to
prevent the Generalization of rates was
TO return to the old plan of pooling the
business, as was done before the inter
state commerce law made it illegal. 1t is
no less illegal now, but the officers saw
no other way out of the difficulty, and
evidently resolved to take the chances of
the law not being vigorously enforced
against them. An agreemant was ac-
cordlngly drawn up, appointing Commits
sioner Goddard to adjust the percentages
among the roads on all competitive West
bound freight business, the roads being
allowed to appeal from his award to A. +.
Walker, Chairman of the Western Traffic
Association, if unsatisfactory, and his de-
cision, if concurred in by Goddard, is to
be final. The weaker roads will be al
lowed ditferentials, as in the old pooling
days. st-bound traffic is subsequently
TO be treated the same way, followed by
the passenger business.
WESTERN TRAFFIC POOL.

merce Commission is said to be endeav-

ton chalrmen, with view to presenting
bill to Congress amending the interstate
commerce law, if the said opinions are
favorable. The railroad men above men
toned have received a letter from the In
terstate Commerce Commission with a re-
quest to avoid all publicity. The letter is
to the effect that the commission is seri-
ously considering the advisability of re-
commencing to Congress the adoption of
an amendment to the interstate commerce
law providing for the legaliziug of pool
ing of traffic on the railroads, on condi-
ton that the proper report of the same be
submitted to the commission. The letter
asks the opinion OF traffic managers, rail-
way managers and Presidents, together
with commissioners and managers of
transportation bureaus and Boards OF
Trade as to the benefit which could be de-
rived by shippers who are now working
against the disadvantages Of secret rates,
The letter also implies that if the major

OF Schaefter, along with his enforced
