Russia from the oil wells. Great reser-
voirs are to be built in st. Petersburg
and Reval and three other stations,
which will hold in the aggregate about

other Russian produce, and will bring

TRANsCoNTINENTAL LINES.
CHICAGO, Sept. lS.-The trausconti-
irse.fof-al talking, the outcome of
which. it is hoped by come OF the lines,
will result in the formation OF q trans
continental passenger association. The
meeting today resulted as all the other
sessions have resulted up to date-in
nothing. The main difficulty in the
way of forming tho association, the
question OF differontial5, which WAS
again ignored, ia hat the bulk of Cali
iornia business ia eecond-class traffic,
which can be diverted by means of
small differential. The tirst-class pas-
senger business amounts to very little
compared with the second-class, and
the roads cannot afford to ignore the
latter. At present there seems TO be no
chance whatever that the lines will
succeed in forming the association.
