BALTIMORE AND OHIO.

BALTIMORE, June 16.-The special
meeting Of the board Of directors OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad to consider
the basis Of settlement agreed upon 0y
President Scott and VIce-Presldent
King at New York, was held to-day
and adjourned shortly after noon. The

The directors of the Baltimore and

its first-mOrtgage bonds, due the first Of
July, 1875, that it will pay the remain

SETTLED AT LAST.
This War Between the Pennsylvania
Central and Ihe Baltimore aud Ohio
Railroads over,
Basis or sestgement-An Agreement IN
which the Public Interests Have Rot
Been Neglected.
PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL.

PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-The board
Of directors Of the Pennsylvania railroad
this morning approved of the basis for
an agreement with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, entered into at New York,
on Friday last, and telegraphed their
action to the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road company, whose board is in session,
but have not yet received a reply.
1t Is asserted that the agreement is for
period of ten years, and the compa-
MES are to agree on moderate rates be-
tween all the competing points, which
will be maintained by both. The con-
tract can be only terminated by a reso-
luton Of the respective boards. A spe-
Cial committee is to be appointed by
each board, to whom shall be referred all
matters of difference, if any, that may
arise relative to the practical workings of
the agreement, and with power to adjust
all complaints between the two cOmpa-
MES. The Pennsylvania opens its line
between Philadelphia and New York to
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad on the
same terms that they give their connect
ing roads at Philadelphia. This agree
ment, it is believed, will be of perma-
nent character. 1t is understood that
the details Of the agreement will not be
published.

the fight. He is expected to leave for
the battle-ground this afternoon, and be
in readiness. II Rock does not appear

neither Rock nor his friends have put
