New Yohk. Jan. 85.—The annual report of the government directors of the Union Pacific Railroad company teas transmitted yesterday to the secretary of the interior. It contains nearly- «tse hundred pnjees ol printed matter. Regarding tlDe "tripartite alliance" with the Chicago and R ».:k Island and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad companies ooncer ling through business,report says: "The ruinous competition en through traillc to which the company hud been subjected by rival roads which practically paralleled the main line of the Union Pacific from Omaha tcrOgden, cutting rates to ruinous figures between these points, while dividing under a pooling arrangement with the Iowa roads the profilg able trafHc between Omaha and Chicago, forced tho Union Pacific tSTeilter into an alliance, offensive and defensive, with such other roads as would practioally extend its lines to Chicago, and give it a' fighting chance against its rivals." By the tripartite contract of December 5, 188a, the roads Muf tually agreed to support one another and share in through traffic upon the of fixed percentages. The contract came up. for ratification before the fuil board of directors at the meeting of December 30, 1888, and no opposition was offered to it from any quarter, the p —er ,m»M directors having consented to M ratification. The directors commended the ii.iaucial management of the road. Bat a via, N.

At the same time the terms in' which her majesty^should address parliament at its opening were drawn up for bar approval, and three members of the cabinet wore deputed to attend the next meeting of the privy council at Osborne for the pur* pose of submitting the proposals of their colleagues to tho queen. It is understood that in her address from the throne her mofssty will congratulate the commons upon the satisfactory relations existing between this country and foreign nations, and likewise upon the more tranquil state of Ireland, a result due to the beneficial legislation of * the past few years. Bo for as legislation for tho United Kingdom i3 concerned tho franchise or household suffrage blli will ho the flest mentione.l, and its provisions will extend to Bngland, Scotland and Ireland.

Mr. Morrison's proposition is to materially extend the free list and effect a reduction in Fall Rim, Mia, Jan. 95.—The result of the meeting of the cotton manufacture™1 board of trade haa caused great dlsjatis* ftaction and indignation among the opera* Ufa. The amount of rednotion haa not yet been decided upon, but, on good authority, it ia stated that it will be 8 per cent. S#Ter*l manufacturers assert that the reduction of wagea was not the wisest course to adopt to relieve the glutted market, but that it is, however, useless to produce cloth at the old rates and ezpeet to fln-i a market. They thought that to curtail productioi) and iilcrease the prices by working half time, of by suspending work for a few we«ks, would have been the better course. Othor manufacturers say that if they suspended operation witliout the co-operation of other cittaa in the movement they would be supplanted in tlwlr own markets by those mills that would continue running. other directions, not altogether horizontal, bat varying from tan to twenty per cent. Ha does not propose that the tariff on any single article shall escape revision, and looks William Palmer, Rowell's former partner m the paper box making business, was called to the stand. forward to an aggregated net reduction which will wipe out a large part of the surplus revenue. Mr. Hewitt's report is original in conception. It iB regarded by i:s author as being certain of drawing republican fire In advance and prevent the tariff matter from degenerating into a party question. Hewitt is armed with five columns of Agar#) The first is the tariff as it stands; the second includes the recommendations of the , tariff commissioner; the third contains the figures in the bill which passed the lower house last year; the fourth has the figuros i n the bill which passed the senate.and the fifth represents the tariff as it originally stood, from these five columns he takes the lowest Palmer's story was .aepsatioeal and- attracted great attention./ (He rtaaedf thai be Jiad told Rnw*8 at different times sinoe 'August 20th last that Mrs. Rowell «as,un- Sfotfhful, anl (hatUbe m fat corr*eprtnCMnce with Johnson Lynch, and that whenever Rowell was away from home for any length „of timashe would meet lynch.

UW k- '«S~ Secretary Howard, of the Spinners' union, Caiil that everything in connection with the reduction wag to vague that it was hard to ■ay anything. In conversation with a mill agent he learned that the chief ground for disagreement at the meeting of the board was the action to be taken on ths wages of spinners. In soma of tbo mills there are allowances of various sums mado for old mules, bad machinery and poor material, which were sectned by the union without any strike or protracted negotiations. To establish uniform rates was what these agents paying the extras demanded.' "I will," raid Mr. Howard most "advocate resistance.!*) the reduction in the Spiuaers' union. Unless these reductions are resisted now, the condition of the cotton working classes of this country will never be bettered except by revolution. They are being ground and oppressed, and the tendency is futher degradation for them. Don't think me too rash in this expression, for I sinoerely believe it will come to that yet. Fall River manufacturers have ntDver increased wages but once, aud then the increase was immediately taken.oC. If ten par cent, reduction is made it will make the total siuce 1073 fully forty fire parent., or nearly one half what was paid then. Weavers In that year received thirty-three cants a cut; now they will only get eighteen cants, tttirtlsar. all making money, and what mora do they want! There is Watnpgnoga paying three per cant, a quarter, or twelve per osnt, a yaar, on the stock invested. I heard a treasurer say onoe that he would be with six per cent, profit. Cloth is 'Arm, and there has been a slight increase in the selling price. If agents waited until spring I think they would ride out in safety from this fictitious depression. I have decided to call a meeting of the unten for Saturday night, when it is quite probable that we wjll ballot on the question of subuMou CS realsfance to the out down.
