Chicago, Oct. 31. President
Charles Francis Adams, of the
Union Pacific railroad, speaking
to-day of a proposed revision of the
rates which has aroused the antag
onism of some of the eastern con
nections of the Union Pacific, said
it is simply between his road and
the Chicago A Northwestern, lie
has no apprehension that other
lines in the long run will decline
to participate in traffic on the
same terms with the the North
western. The Union Pacific has
sustained a great lose of traffic and
income of late because of the fact
tha. the eastern machine shop
are so crowded that they cannot
fill orders for new evuipment.
Had the road been able to secure
the motive power and equipment
ordered six months ago, it ould
have e irued in October upwards
of ?5.i00.0 K) instead of $4,0Ol,000.
