It seems to be probable that, in ciue of me tun succcmi in uiarKeuuu oi uie suii'k, the present transaction will be followed . ,i i. .r.i .... i bv others. No condition in regara to future purchase of stock, or the manage inent of the road, has been included in the coiitruct, . It is nurely a cash tran saction. The owuers of tho road have been induced to Part with their stock in order to share w ith others the control the road, believing this divided control will add to the value ol the property.

Terms Arranged, by lb I'tea. Washington, Jan. 22. An important meeting took place at the interior depart ment today, in which tho Colorado del egation in congress, General Adams, Ourav. Jack. Wash and Sawanett partici paled, fcichurz laid an injunction of se crecy upon ull members or tho conler- ence So that details of the meeting can not be bad It is understood however that the land Question had been trior oughly talked over and an agreement was reached which was salisiactory to an present except Senator Teller. This agreement is that the Utes of Southern Colorado shall be removed to Grand river rallev. in the western Dart of the state, The White river Utes are to be removed to the Unitah reservation in Utah. Bel ford and Teller were at tho outset hostile to this arrangement, but liolford now seems to bo satisfied with it. Toller on the con'rary will oppose it with all his influence, and without hi vote the sec retary of the interior is afraid that the publication of that portion of the deliber ations of the conference relating to tho final disposal of the Indiana themselves will not ha well received in Colorado, as the peoplo of that state will not bo pleased with any arrangement which will fail to remove the Indians entirely from the itate. It is believed that tho Ctes will accept the settlement decided on to-day, and it Is intended to send some ono to tho Indian country to L-et the signatures of three-quarters of the Utes to an agree ment. As to the murderers of Meeker, Ouray has already given his ultimatum He will undertake to bring them in later in the season, when spring opens, if he has to kill them : and ho does not behove there is any other way of doing it. It in not probable that any nn.il steps will be taken towards closing up tho agreement until after tho arrival of Governor Pit kin, who is expected in a few days. The I'le Outbreak.

Wasmncton, Jan. 22 Tho president of the New York Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Children memoralized con gress to-day through Senator Reman, calling attention to the barhar.tics prac ticed ou certain Chinese children. He Im sent to congress and the president a communication in relation to a pitiful appul which has readied him from Ihe Pacille coast. He says that in IS" Yakoub ltev, the famous Central Asian Chief and Chinese Rebel, was captured and put to death by the Chinese government by a slow and painful process. Those of his family who had not fled on his death into Russian territory were cruelly executed. A if the exile or slaughter of every adult kinsman of his were not penalty enough, four of his children, ranging in ages from fourteen to five have been solemnly ar raigned for'hereditary high treason to the F.meror of China.' One would naturally conclude that the complicity of the boys Wing disproved, their aeipiittal of Ruilt should follow, especially i view of their tender years. On the contrary they are cmii;iied to a doom more horrible than deith. In brief, they are to be kept until a certain sire in pnsoii and then cruelly emasculated anil consigned as slaves to the soldiery for n-.es and practice un happily to common in tho east, but which, I.ord Coke say, "are not so much as to be named among Christians," ''This," say President Gerry, "is no overdrawn ficture.n He implores immediate action u the matter, and state that if the Chi nese government will commote the sen tence of these wretched children to ban ishment this Society stand ready tore reive and place them at its own expense where they will be properly maintained, educated and cared for.

Drnux, Jan. 20 An appeal of the Mansion committee to the people of the United States, says: It is now admitted that the distress is of acute and except ional character and certain to involve actual starvation if extensive aid bo not promptly and liberally forthcomins. The distress daily increases ,in intensity and urea, and it seems almost impossible to avert, until next harvest, absolute famine in very many places. Itus central com mittee distributes its relief through local committees, of which the clergy of all de nominations in a district, rich and poor, tho law and medical officers, must be members, and requires that relief be iriven only in kind mid not in money.

Appeal from the Lord Mayor of Dublin. The Lord Mayor of Dublin has issued an appeal through tho London press in liehaii ot the .Mansion House relief com mittee, stating that the committee is not Connected with any organization, and that it consists ol representatives of all creeds and all shades of olitics. The appeal states that evidence accumulates that there is scarcely a ceunty in Ireland in which terrible privation does not exist in sonic portion, though it is more severe in the western counties and on the northwest and southwest seaboards. The lord mavor ars that the public of London does not realize the gravity of the crisis, or that unless prompt assistance be given, thoiih- npo ol people must die or starvation, lie annot think that if they did. thev who gave hindreds of thousands to avert the lamine in India, would have given less to the Mansion house fund, than had Syd ney or Melbourne. The lord mayor slates that 8000 have already been distributed out of the S2O.0OO received, but that this is a mere drop in the'ocean of need, lie fears the recurrence of ihe disaster of 1847, when abundant assistance was forth coming, but too late to save life. At Saturday's meeting of the Dublin Mansion Louse relief committee 80 appli cations for relief were received and 55 grants wero mado amounting to JT.20.s5. The total amount so f.ir granted is S34l)'. Five hundred pounds w. t i i ied fruni vtaelungton and 1500 tr.nn New York. Ihe Muttering Poor Sll 1 Call For Aid.
