An extra freight train was started out ot Portland yesterday to cCe&n up the business along the Southern Pacific. The freight has accumulated so fast that the regular trains, though running with as high as over 80 cars to the train, have been unable to keep it out of the way. This Is In big contrast to a year ago, when a tfrelght train was run every other day, and small one at that. Now the daily freight is double length' and canU do the busineaa.

( An old man named Robert GreM fa taCCy shot himself Oast week on the bank of Bogus river, beCow Crow's place. He had been bound down the river on a (boat 'and got discouraged enough Ito commit suicide. The coroner held en Inquest on the remains. The body had no coin on it but a five-cent piece, and no valuables. He left a note penciled on his pocketlbook which stalted that he was weak and sick; that he had prop erty at St. John's, Or., upon which there was a mortgage of S100 fatting due in November. If the property brought more than the mortgage he wished the excess given to the poor. Affairs Banning Smoothly De spite Divers Officers. Receivership Tangle Does Not Affect the Operation of the Road--E very body Attending: His Duties. (Noritfaem Paolflo malttens seen to be adjusting tttemse&ves to circumstances. The Pioneer Press gives the following account of recent events In the affairs of that company: Receiver OuiGeUghi htau named C. It. Clark, assistant treasurer for the former receivers of the Northern Pacific, the treasurer, and 11. 'P. Martin, assistant general auditor for the former receivers, the auditor for the west end of the sine. As far as can 'be learned his action is ito be permanent, and the appointments rwtl be offl daily announced today. Mr, Clark then is in charge as treasurer for the entire ttne excapt Montana, though retaining his o.'d ttte of assistant trees iuer for this end of the Une. Mr. (Martin is In the same position as auditor. It Is understood that today or tomorrow Re ceivers UBtU and Bonner will conlrm the appointments of Receiver Burleigh, nhertby making Messrs. Clark and Martin the chief representatives of the treasury and auditing departments, respectively, for Vhe Northern Pacific from fit. Paul to the Paddy coast. Their respective titCes !.vr.l probably be treasurer and auditor. Wince last April the old receivers had no tmeasurer, but kept an assistant treas urer in New York, whose duties cease with theirs. The action of Judge Lia Cbmbe wll likely settle this whole mat ter saOkafaxtorily, snaking the appoint. une(xts of the new receivers compCete and penoaaent.. These appointments are a part of the common decision of the new receivers tbek the property is to be operated har- naoatouety as am entirety from this end. Since Khe new receivers have been ap pointed there has been no apparent fric tion among them, and no delay or con fusion tn ths opemtolu of the rood has oen reporstd from any quarter. Every body as attended to evrythlng belong ing to ham just as though there exMed o great Judfcial controversy over a great question of Jurtediction. Oounae Bunn, for instance, has com ptets charge of Hie teger affairs of ths road, and attends to them without stir ring tip any question as to Ms authority. The receiver have agreed on this as on other conditions which are neceeuery to s, uniform and unhampered management. Regarding ths receivership tangle, noth ing new bus appeared, nor Is anything startJtag expected until Judge Lticombe takes action. The concensus of opinion now seems I J be that, as prodacted In this paper a few days ago, a solution ot the receivership question win nave been reached wftMn a week by an agreement of ths majority of interests upon mmt plan, satisfactory tJ act upon which ths courts can act What the nature and extent of this plan wtS be time alone It's in town.

A Washington corespondent says What "the oessatlon of go".d exports has been exceedingly gratifying to the treasury de partment. It is now something over A fortnight since the treasury gold reserve iwas seriously torerrtJhed upon by srtth- drawais tor export. The drain stopped, whether temporarily or not, It Is too early Co know, at a itlme that was most fortu nate. Even If the gold reserve has prac ibloaCCy gained nothing in the fortnight of peace, the country to reassured and con ditions Suave brightened. There are iflany, hnnxever, who btfteve that the presetit situation 1s unnaituraSy produced. They ainfclctpolte that further gold withdrawals are of necessity to be expected. To pay Cor imports, meet letters ot credit, purchase securities; pay debts, and in fact to cover the balance against the United States, goUl la required. Why, then, the treasury has not been ceded upon to furrtlsh it for more than a fort night, ia not apparent. That there may soon be further demands upon the treas ury la not fcnprobaJbSe. Aside from oomdltlone that are purely (local to the United States, there are nuut- tens that, give ground for anxiety as to the future. At present England Is at tacked by a crees ot speculation. It Is worse than the Panama)Canal affair, that when It burst, so injured France's pros perity. Money Is plenty and cheap In EngCand, and . is seeking an outlet that will bring large and quick returns. The craze to grow i4dh suddenly is atlv power ful, partlAjuOarty where gold is involved.

'When it does the effect wKl be disastrous. ' The bubble wf.1 be pricked. England, rich as the is, will with diffi culty resist the shock.

The danger lis tthalt It may unsettCe and set hack the prosperity that is coming. How soon the bubble will burst In EngCand U not known. The longer 1t Is postponed the better the United States may be prepared to meet It. Thaif Cam. dtainia are apprehensive t shown by the fact that Kheir own local securities, the substantlail ones listed on the exchanges tut Toronto and Momlbreal, have fallen wtltMn the last two weeks five or six pdlnits. The sltiua'Clon would be improved if the 'AtQIson Short time and low rate emergency notes bad been authorised by the OaSt congress: As it Is, the effect OT the breaking of the Kaffir boom may be quite hurtful to America, but far Sets so 'than to England. . The treasury statement Issued up to the l&tih shows a targe excess ot expen ditures over receipts, one million dollars having been expended for pensions. The gold reserve today shows un In crease ot about IW.0OO, and stands at mOM,672.66. Unless there shouid be unexpectedly large receipts for the remainder of Octo ber, the treasury deficit will' be about six mCtknis for the month. The deficit for the first half of October Is tM8i.Gfi7.S7, while the deficit for the year to date is 110,369,325.98.

For miles and imKes there are tsreetsi hewn out of the soQU chaUc, flanked rwith piles of cham pagne, of aUi Mends and qualities.

President Cleveland Will Order an Inquiry. Difficulties- to be Encountered, Chief Among- Which Will be Spain's Objections. 'Among the first questions to be con sidered by President Cleveland and the cabinet is the proposed inquiry into the condition of affair In Cuba," writes Wal ter Wed man in the Tlnwa-HeraSd.

Highest of til in LeaTcning Power-- Latest U. S. Gov't Report wrwJJ California Octopus Wantg to Control Utah Traffic. MSSSlSBBSaBS) TO HAUL FREIGHT BACKWARDS New Llrht on the Western Traffic Muddle-Combination Against the Union Pacific. A most starting proposition for hand ling freight out of Utah has bean dis closed by the Chicago Tribune, which says: V When, two months ago, the Traffic (As sactaatlon ot CaC'if tomla, which for sever, al yean past has been flgh!tlng the South ern Pacific monopoly, placed an empOoya of the Southern Poctfte in charge ot its affairs, The Tribune Stalted ttalti - the action meant nothing more nor Jess than compeJte eunronder ot the California , Traffic Association to the California rat wary tnonopoOy. - Members of the associa tion took ocoaaion to telegraph an em phatic denial to .the statement made by. the Tribune, and they asserted t&vat under the management of Mr. Curtis the aiso. dakiion would continue to make the same war against exactions of the Southern Pacflkt as had been made under the ener getic management of Jos Leela. Evidence has come to hand during the Vast few tjays showing beyond a doubt the correctness of tDie Tribune's assertion that the Traffic Asookutilon ot California has joined hands with the Southern Pa ctflo monopolists. Great efforts have been made lately by Mr. Curtis, the new man ager ot the traffic association, to Interest Utah people In the Southern Paclil?.. In a (eKker to a prominent railroad offloiat In Utah Mr. Curtis says:' The position of the Southern Pacific, s explained to me having been canvassied by this association, meets with the hear ty approval of the sanne. I take this occasion, to advise you of our stand. Sit uated as San Francisco ts within 000 mile of your metropolis (SaOt Lake City), and being acknowledged as a great pro ducer and distributing center, she Is en titled to a greater consideration at your hands than formerly in the matter Of najtes. In this I moan ths adjustment of rates looking towiuds tine pOacing of the Pacific coast on en equality with ths east through the medium of a system ot raltes constructed on & mileage basis. San Francisco to Utah. via. the competing centra, that Is certain Unas base on the Missouri River for exaimpCe, others on Chicago, ' stia others on St. Louis, per chance on Plttifturg, Cincinnati, or the seaboard, an adjustment according to competing points, seem to the Traffic Association of California ai most equitable one, to which it is inclined to -lend US full support. This means thiat the the Southern Pa' olfte has secured the fuCI support ot the CsJlilfornla Traffic Association, In its) latest attempt to divert not only ad ths Califor. nisi business via New OrHeans, but pro poses to control via. the earns route ths Utaii and Colorado business. In other wairda, the Southern Pad no means to take business Inxm Denver and SaCt Lake City and eCi Intenmodi&te points back- ward to California and thence to points In the IXwt via New Orleans. It' appears that in this Attempt 'the Southern Pa cific has secured the co-operation of the Rio Qr&nde Western railroad. The DaitKer has sUffared tnuch from the competition of the Union Paisiltc, and cCaims not to have received the support It was entitled to from 'Its eastern connections Now to get even with the Union Pacific joins hands with the Southern Pacific and htCip the latiter to take freight from Utah points to ths East via California and New Orleans, instead of directing It via the Misourl River and Chicago as heretofore, Of course she mileage on Utah business via California and New Ore&an Is twice as great as the mileage via. the iMiissouri river land Ctiicag yet the Southern Pacific means to make rates to compete againbt the dlract route via tlte Misourl river and Chicago. A tariff was received here yesterday which shows that the Southern Pacific wlun. the aid of the Rio Grande Western has already started the scheme of diverting Utah business to the Euet via. California. The tariff in question is iu-J jointly by the Rio Grand Western, Southern Pa cific, and Clyde and Uetropoiiltan '.Ine of steamers, and names a Mite on wool bates, minimum melght 20,000 pounds ot 138 per ton. The route is from Utah points over the Rio Oramde Western to Ogden, thence Central Pacific to Lathrop, Cat; thence Southern Pacific via Bl Paso to New Orleans, and thence to New York and other Eaaern seaports via the COydo and UetropoQltain Cine of steamers. The rote quoted by this route Is leai than he rate vhairged by the direct line via the Wsourl and Chicago. -J . L j
