THE Q. ANI ) TIin U. P.
No Settlement Arrived nt in the Con-
Hultntlon nt
CHICAGO , April 25. The conference
between the representatives of the Bur
lington and the olllcials of the roadsfin
the Western Trunk Line association was
concluded at tire o'clock this afternoon.
No definite or final settlement of differ
ences was reached , nor can there bo un
til n basis for pooling competitive Col
orado and Nebraska business between
the Burlington nnd the Union Pacific is
agreed , upon. If a satisfactory , nndor-
etanding between the two roads can bo
reached ui to this question , it wes con
ceded at the conference that the adjust
ment of the other matters in controversy
will bo possible. The territory to bo em
bodied in a compromise has been agreed
upon , but the matter of percentage has
not , and an adjournment was taken to
enable the Union Pacific and the Bur
lington to ascertain the emount of compe
tition in traffic within the territory
agreed upon , carried by their respective
lines as a basis upon which to estimate
the per ccntsgos. This will require a delay -
lay of fully two weeks , and if the officials
of the two roads on this finding cannot
agree upon the matter of percentages , it
was decided the matter should bo left to
arbitration. In the meantime rates are
to bn maintained , Parties in interest
freely declare that nraicablo adjustments
of all matters now in dispute appear very
probable.
An Astounding Possibility.
Chicago Times.
The general managers of the tripartite

the Burlington to-day. The participants
gave out the information that nothing
transpired further than an Informal can
vass of the situation. General Manager T.
J. Potter , of iho Burlington , will meet
with them to-day , but to speculate as to
the result of the conference would bo use-
Joss.A
A most astonishing possibility hoscomo
to the surface , which lends renewed inter
est to the situation. An ox-railroad mana
ger , whoso name is familiar in . every
railroad office in the west and northwest ,
Vpoke as follows yesterday to reporter
fdr The Times : "There is no possible
chance for a healing * f the western differ
ences while the Western Trunk-Lino
association exists as it is now constituted ,
nd I boleivo that at least two of the trl-
artito lines are directly opposed to an
djustmcnt of any plan thus far proposed.
'hcso are the Rock Island and the North-
res torn. Apian is on foot by which these
nos will soon never their connection with
io Western Trunk-Lino association , be-
oving the ossociaton to have failed in
10 purpose for which it was created.
Having pulled out of the association
icy will form n truffio alliance with the
Turlington and Santa Fo. leaving the
t. Paul , Wabash , and Union Pacific to
pork , out their own salvation. By thii ar-
anpomont the Rock Island and Chicago ,
lurlington and Quincy would give all
tioir west-bound traffic to the Santa Fet
t Kansas City and to the Burlington and
lisaouri River road at Plattsmouth. The
forthwcstern would give all of its west-
ound traffic to the Burlington and Mis-
ouri River at Plattsmoutb. The latter
nd the Santa Fo would , of course , rocip-
ocato on oast-bound business. There is
o intention of attempting , as the tripar-
ito alliance does , to merge two distinct
orporations into one through lino. This
as boon proven to bo impracticable in
very particular. The arrangement would
nvolvoonly the closest of traffic alliances.
In tying themselves to the Union Pacific -
cific , the Ilock Island and Northwestern
Ind that they have contracted to carry a
loavior burden than they bargained for ,
The Union Pacific is totally without
rionds among the residents along its
inos. Stockmen , merchants , and farmers
'ram ' the Missouri river to western Colo-
ado are giving their business to the
Turlington wherever it is possible to dee
o ; at every junction point the Burlington
akos throe-fourths of the business , and
anchmonwill drive their stock and farm-
irs carry their products several miles
urthor in order to patronize the Burling-
ion.
ion.Yanderbilt's
Yanderbilt's withdrawal from the
Union Pacific by his sale of $1,000,000 of
Oregon Short-Lino bonds , has encouraged
too merchants nndcittlo-meu of the west
(
to renowt d efforts against the Union
Pacific. Yanderbilt proposes now to di-
loet the patronage of his roads to com
petitors of the Union Pacific , and for
this reason will withdraw the North
western. The flock Island baa been dis-
latiifiod with the tripartite alliance ever
tinea the Northwestern and Wabash
Tore admitted , for those accessions effec
tually deprived it of any advantage that
vould accrue from the original alliance.
This road would bo only too glad to got
out ot the association , and will do so as
s > on as possible.
