PROOF coScLus1vE.

For the benefit Of our weekly contem
porary, the News, which has repeated
ly called in question the fact that there
is all army sea- dal, that there is no rue
ton between Genera Miles aud Secre-
tary Alger. who ACCUSES us of printing
something that is false and about which
no one has any information but our
selves, the follow wing report Of the chief
surgeon Of the United States volunteers
Major w. 3. DAILY is published.
Nows gathering aud the distortion n OF
the news are two very entirely different
things. The news as it occurs, whether
it be favorable to one political party or
another or to anyone, is the motto OF
this Office, yet our contemporary would
attemp to make people believe that
what has been published by this paper
in regard to the damnable commercial
traffic that has been carried on in the
army, benefitting men in high places and
causing sickness, death and disaster,
has been published for political effect.
The people may judge for themselves
and we have told but half of what the
colonels of many OF the regiments have
given in testimony.

NEW ALTON DEAL.
This Time an Eastern Syndicate Is
Affnr

This Time an Eastern Syndicate Is
After the Property.
Chicago, January 31.--Rumors that the
Alton railroad is to change ownership are
again in circulation today. The reports
are based on the fact that circular signed
by President j. J.. Mitchell Of the Illinois
Trust and Savings hank. is to be issued
to the stockholders of the Alton, offering
in the name of an Eastern syndicate SITS
a share for the common and 5000 certif-
cate for the preferred stock. Mr.. Mitchell
seems confident this offer will be accepted
by over IS per cent of the stockholders.
and said there was no friction between
himself and President Blackstone and that
they were working on the proposition. Who
composed the syndicate Mr.. Mitchell de-
clined to state. 1t is general believed,
however, that the syndicate represents cap
ftalists interested in the Union Pacific, the
Vanderbilt lines. the Missouri Pacific, the
Baltimore and Ohio and one or two other
roads. The Alton, 1t is said, IL 1t changes
hands, will be utilized as sort OF clearing
house for these roads.
President Blackstone, 1t is said, IL more
inclined to part with control, hut still in
sists that all stockholders must be treated
alike II is further claimed that he thinks
the price should be 5000 for both common
and preferred stock, as both receive now
and always have received the same amount
of dividends.
1t is probable the sale OF the road will
bo discussed at a meeting CT the directors
tomorrow.

Element of the differences Mt present ex-
listing between the railroad commission
and the railroads of the state. Neither of
the two conflicting elements are directly
responsible for tho meeting in question.
IL being the outgrowth OF n desire on the
part OF the merchants OF the State to do
what they can towards relieving the pres
eut strained situation. The fight between
the commission and the railroads has I'M
doubtedly had deleterious effect on com
morcial interests in Texas and u natural
desire to relieve the matter Is manifest
on the part of the merchants. To this end
the meeting to be held today was called,
Mr. w. y, Cleveland, one Of the Hous-
ton merchants, was seen by Post re-
porter last night and asked II he could
throw any light on the probable course of
procedure to adopted by tho merchants.
He replied that he could not. Everything
that could possibly be done towards bring
ing about moro amicable relations between
the commission and the transportation
lines would be done, he said. but ways
and means would not be decided on until
today.
The few traffic men now in the city are
firm in the opinion that the Injunction suit
set for trial on the 9th instant will never
be heard, hut will bo compromised as a
result of the efforts now being made by tho
railroad attorneys gathered at Austin and
of the good Offices OF the merchants who
win congregate there today. The restpra-
tion circular issued by the commission
Tuesday Is regarded as especially signih-
cant at this particular time, notwlthstand-
ing the fact that the order In question
affects only the lines not parties 10 the
Injunction suit. All Of these lines are
short ones and the traffic on which the old
rates are to be applied must be confined to
them, but the action of the commission

as indicative that II will soon resume It's
