TIE TIIrLE ALLIANCE ,
CIIwAoo , December 13. - General
Manager llughitt , of the Northwestern
and Clark of the Union Pacific , nrrivol
hero from New York this morning. Mr.
llughitt stated to a repreaontativo of the
1 Associated Prose that the Northwestern
company had been informally notified of
the existence of the triple alliance between -
twoon the Union Pacific ; Rock Island
and St , l'aul roads but the terms of the
compact , which has been signed , had not
boon outlined. Informal notice lead also
bootn given the Northwestern road that
it could enter the now association , but
Ott what terms was also not stated. Thn
policy of the Northwestern was , as it if ad
) Cott from the outset , for peaceful adjustment -
justment of any differences on the Union
Pacific l/nanCSS and any action which
innght bo pursued by the Northwestern in
certain alternatives would eer-
tauitly not be outlined until the
exact position of Clio three roads
in the new association had been dis-
closed. His deliberate view was that
the Union Pacific could not afford to
outer upon any serious discrimination I
against any of its feeders , but in any
event the Northwestern expected to b 0
able to protect its interests , and coul d
certainly do so. Ho could not say the t
the now agreement would be disclosed n t
the adjourned mooting of the Iowa pool
'hoxt Tuesday , as it did not properly
form part of the business of the old mao '
ciation. If at the session the old associ
ation was renewed , lie did not under
stand it came in conflict in any ashy wit h
I I ' the 1icw agreement , and that in tin
event of a renewal of the old pool tlI e
t now agreement would remain in aboyanc °
l so long as taro , roads now touching a
Omaha could work together under th
old plan.
Mr. Clark of the Union Pacific , an
' Mr. Potter , of the Burlington , had
eonfercnco this morning , but the no
' ngrcement was not touched upon. Th
Burlington has not been given notic
m , that it can join the new aliance. Th
r fact has been disclosed that the Roc
Island and St. Paul made the move fo
- the adjournment of the meeting of th
Iowa purl to December 13th , but thi
was opposed by the Burlington on th
ground that the St. I aul's notice to qui
' the old pool ran out December 16t hI
. ! " r . which , svauld allow only three days i
which to prcparo for au upon > ZgItL Tit
St. Paul then agreed to extend its notic
i t to January 1st.
The position of the Wabash with-re
gard to the negotiations now being car
ried forward has not been made public
but an eflicial statement is made that
opposed the tripartite agreementand it i
expected to join with the roads left o ut
of the preliminary negotiations. 1Vhil
nothing definite has taken place withp
view of forming a rival alliance , the oil
ckal view hero is that the Burlingto
Northwestern , and possibly the 1Vabas
will jour with the Rio Grande for Det
ver and through business to the coast i
event of no agreement being reached b
fore January 1st.

of tine scope of tine alliance , Mr. Cla

calving tine full pool division of through
rates on business iaiddown by otnr road at
Omaha , avl by that method is enable d
to carry on tine contest indetinitoly. The
alliance moored into is simply to allow
Ins a fair fighting chance for competitive
business , and should tend to maintain
rates instead of disturbing tlnom , Mr.
Clark further stated that the compact
only spoke of pmsonger business in an
incndontal way and to tine effect that the
three roads in interest should work in
imarnouy in tire event of a cut in rates.
Mr. Clark contended that if a break in
rates occurred it would bo forced as tire
situation was nut outwardly changed
from the period prior to
T1mE rISAnntunHi :
in tine Iowa pool , If the Iowa poO1 roads
could settle tire question of division the
business status would be unchanged.
Mr. Clark said no formal invitations have
been made to tine other throe roads to
join the alliance , bttttheir officials were
well aware that they could alter it whoa
requested. Ho could state the , specific
teams under which they could join but
thought it irepolitic at tine prosentito dose
so , .IIo finally said in his view tlraro
wits every reasn win all tine lines should
form a part of the alliance arid desired to
clear away tire idea that by tire compact
the Union Pacific contemplated turning
overall ita business totho two conneoting
roads.
All local business of the Union Pacific
would hereafter , as formerly , be delis'-
ored to the roads at Omaha , to whioln it
was consigned as formerly , Unassiguod
business would be delivered to tire Iowa
pool if it remained in oxistenco. If not ,
then it would ko to such roads as may ho
named by the Union Pacific. Wlten the
chatacter of tine agreement was made
known , it did not appear among officials
conversed with1 to lesson
TIIE OIANW S FOri Oi'EN it'Arr.
For roads east of the Missouri river to
bear a portion of the cut in rates caused
by tire hot war now waging west of that
river meant a complete change in the
complexion of the existing condition of
affairs. The absolute agreement of two
of the Iowa pool roads to accept such a
proviso' neant necessarily a Complot a
change in tine relations of tine-Iowa pool
roads towards each other , and rnado
moro uncertain than over tire cmitinu
anco of tire Iowa pool. One intereste d
official , in summing up the matter , sai d
tire question resolved itself into whether
' nil tire Iowa roads would join with the
Union Pacific and abandon the Ri o
Crando , or whether a portion of then or
0 would ally their fortuncs with the latte r
company.
