Washed Away.

In the matter of the suit OF the uni,aa
States against the Northern Pacific ana
the Western and Northwestern Telegranb
companies, the plaintiff has obtalned a,
order citing the railroad company TO show
cause why 1t should not be made a nar,v
to the action, and the same la to be heard
at st. Paul October 10. The purpose o,
the proceeding by the government Is 10
snnul an exclusive contract made by the
railroad company with the Western Union
for the building and operating of tele-
graph line which the old Northern Pacific
corporation was obligated TO do itsol,
uhoer tine charter and grant OF land de-
rived from the government, with subse-
uuent acts of congress, The present cor
poration takes the ground that the ohi-
cations expired through the .cceivorsbip
and subsequent sale and reorgapizatIon
OF the railroad company and its property
On the other hand, having acquired the
charter, right of way, etc, with the con-
ditions imposed, the government insists
tnat the new company Is bound 10 MAIN
tain and operate telegraph lines without
favor or discrimination along Its entire
right Of way and branch lines for rail-
road, governmental commercial and all
other purposes. Should the courts sus

AGREEMENTS WERE REACHED
SOUTHERN PACIFIC AND SANTA FE
TO DIVIDE MILITARY BUSINESS.
A Prospect that the Transcontinent-
nj Association VIII be Organ
lied on the Original Plan.
Especial to The Post.)

Chicago. December 27.--Western lines
have reached an agreement regarding the
division of all military traffic between
points on line drawn through Chicago
and New Orleans and the Pacific coast.
The control and division of the traffic
east from San Francisco has been left
entirely to the Santa Fe and the Southern
Pacific. These two roads can divide as
they see fit from San Francisco to ogden
and then distribute the business to con-
nections as seems to them equitable and
just. This agreement on eastbound traf-
fic was not reached until one or 4wo lines
mad made the reservation that If tho
business was divided in a manner that
did not suit them they would insist upon
appointing some one else to do the dis
tributinR.
Tue work which has been given into
the hands OF the Santa Fe and the South
ern Pacific so far as eastbound business
is concerned will be performed by Chair
man Il. Macleod of the Western Pas
senger association. When it comes TO
westbound traffic it is in his power to dis
tribute the proceeds as he thinks best.
The remainder of the days session was
taken up with a consideration of the draft
for Transcontinental association which
was prepared at the Glenwood Springs
meeting. The agreement on organization
contains essentially these points: a
promise to maintain rates at all costs,
cenalties prescribed for a violation OF
the agreement to maintain rates, nom
payment OF commissions and an agree
ment to divide traffic in an equitable
manner II 1t can be done legally. There
is now every prospect that the associa-
ton will be organized along these lines
and will prove a strong one.
So far as military business is con-
cerned, the government will get no more
cut rates If every one 'sticks."
Executive officials failed to completely
organize the four territorial committees
and adjourned yesterday. The difficulty
was with the st. Paul committee and a
meeting of this body was called for the
city of st. Paul next Monday. The st.
Paul and Duluth road was not ready TO
come into the agreement owing to the
fact that lake navigation is not closed
and the Great Western and tho Wiscon-
sin Central desired to enter into an
agreement which should hold good for
thirty days and give them an opportunity
to withdraw IL they were not satisfied.
Considerable progress was made, how
ever, in the matter OF agreeing to terCl-
tory and gateway to the different por-
lions of thu Far West. While the presi-
dents are not entirely satisfied with the
result, they believe that the pledges made
in New York and renewed here Will be
kept.
