It has cropped out that while In St. Paul
the representatives of the Rock Island and tht
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy roads had ar
interview with Mr.. ]. j. Hill, of the st. Paul
& Manitoba road, as to the use of the st. Paul
& Manitoba road by the two named roads
result of the conference was has not
transpired. It is reported, however, that i,
was proposed to use the st. Paul Il Manitoba
road for nominal sum, giving the St. Paul &
Manitoba people the right to use the trains fol-
the purpose of transporting passengers at reg.
ular rates. That is to say the Manitoba PEG
pie are to use these extra trains just as though
they formed part of their short line section
between the two cities. No person has yei
been able to find enc the fate of the PROPOSE
ton. The visitors have gone home, and the
trains are coming through to Minneapolis,
and the problem that is troublesome is as to

is reported that the Northwestern road has
commenced cutting on rates down In Iowa, az
against the two roads that are trying to gel
into st. Paul.
The Union depot was a sight yesterday al
ternoon. During the forenoon six coaches Of
emigrants arrived on the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul road, and about the same time
thirteen coaches of emigrants and six cars oil
mOvables arrived on the st. Paul & Omaha
road. When the emigrants had all olsen
barked they swarmed into the Union depot
men, women and children, and such q sight
is not often seen. Most of the emigrants were
yOungish people, not yet up to the meridian
of life. Some were quite young, even children,
while few were past middle life. All were
bound for the great northwest, the
land of promise, which beats that
new island recently discovered by MIR. Don.
nelly. All these people were compelled to
wait till night before they could proceed.
They filled the depot building so that it was
inconvenient to circulate much in it, and the
question was naturally asked, Where on earth
do all these people find shelter? Not less than
90, 1000 emigrants have gone through st. Paul
during the present month OF March. It does
not seem as though they could find shelter to
protect them and their children from the bad
weather and the cold of the prairie. Yet it is
very we'll understood, that this is really
nothing but the skirmishers of the grand
army that is coming, and that rs
the season rolls over the emigrants
will come in much larger numbers than those
already mentioned. The St. Paul & Manitoba
road has been SO hard pressed for cars that il
has ransacked the whole country, and cannot
get enough to do the business without incon.
venience. That road has even been compelled
to purchase second-class cars from the New
York Central with which to help out.
