SWEEPING RETRENcHMENTs.
Rumor That 200 Freight and Passen-
ger Agents Will Be Let Out.

Kunor That SOO Freight and PaSSen-
ger Agents Will Be Let Out.
Denver, Feb. 15.-If the schemes of
railroad managers in the line of re-
trenchment are carried out there will
be nearly 200 freight and passenger
agents out Of jobs before long. The con-
solidation and retrenchment idea has
reached the point where the roads east
of the Missouri river can dispense with
agents in towns between this river and
the coast. Business from the west is
so heavy and the channels for its move
ment so well settled upon that the Chi
cagO roads viii do away with their
representatives in the trans Missouri
country. This Will mean a saving Of
$50, 600 a year in salaries alone, and
nearly as much more in incidentals.
The date for Withdrawals of agents
from the larger cities, like San Fran
cisco, Portland, Salt Lake, Seattle, Den
yer and Helena is not settled upon, but
most Of the agents in smaller towns, it
is believed, Will be dropped on March
l. While it is so far only a rumor, in
view Of the friendly relations of the
bondholders Of the eastern roads. rail-
road men are giving the report a large
amount of credence.

Delay of b Ghost.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-When the
news that the. Thirteenth regiment
would not be paid until Oct. 4--the day
after the muster out-got abroad in
camp, it created general disgust among
the enlisted men. They had confidently
expected to be paid Tuesday and had
made arrangements to settle with their
creditors and social engagements with
the California boys that day and even
ing.
The disappointment Of the men man.
Tested itself in the afternoon, when
nearly a hundred gathered in the regi-
mental street. in the vicinity of Colonel
Ames' tent and held indignation meet
ings. They formed in groups and
some of them talked loud in
complaint of the treatment they were
receiving in being asked to wait for
their pay..24 hours after muster out.
Colonel Ames made no attempt to
discipline the men by ordering them
back to quarters, but permitted them
to ply him with questions as to the or.
der deferring the date of payment.
Colonel Ames assured them that Gen.
eral Shafter had declared that owing tc
the small force of paymasters available
here it would be physically impossible
to pay off the regiment Tuesday. The
men take little stock in such a state
mont, but insist that the delay in pay
ing off was brought about by influences
at work in the Twin Cities.
