Chicago, 2O.-Messrs. Keep and
Hughltt, Of the Northwestern
roads, and Porter, of the Omaha
line, arrived this morning from
New York. The Northwestern
magnates declined any statement in
regard to the existing war in the
northwest, further than to express
the opinion that it was far from a
settlement, and the meeting here on
Saturday. and only probability
that the matter would be definitely
fixed by the consent of
all parties. President Porter
talked freely He said the pres
ent war had not grown out
OF matters of recent date, but was
the result of grievances running
back for period of three years. He
exhibited letterW ritten to one of
his leading officers early in 1881, in
which he forecast the present stu
alton. The whole trouble, he saws.
grows out of reckless extension by
the Milwaukee and st. Paul into the
territory of other roads, and he
does not hesitate to assert that his
hight is entirely against this prac-
tlce. In the action of the st. Paul
road stockholders were not consid-
cred in these extensions, which have
been largely into territory already
occupied; that such extensions
have been engineered in the inter.
est of construction companies made
up OF persons interested in the man.
agement OF the road and when these
extensions were completed, they
used their influence in the directory
10 secure the purchase by the main
line at handsome profit over the
cost OF construction, to the detri-
ment of the Interest of the general
stakeholder. These methods, in
which he charges the st. Paul road
to be more guilty than the others,
must, he says, by duplication, be IN
profitable lines, and bring about q
financial crash in a short time, IN
unless checked. If tie St. Paul
roads builds into his territory, for
Instance, where there is only bust
ness for one road, the result is two
Improbable lines, instead of one
paying line. To prevent this, he
asserts it is the object Of the fight
and AYERS that he will never listen
to any proposition until this princi-
pie OF territorial rights is fully rec
ogniZed, and basis for their deter
mlnation is established. ae as
asserts that he has been waiting
until fully prepared before going
into the fight; that his road has
sufficient surplus to pay the interest
on its Indebtedness for three years,
without earning a dollar; that he is
prepared to carly the war to that
extent, if necessary, to establish the
principle which he deems necessary
for the preservation not ouly of
railroad interests but those Of the
entire country.

speech, he said, came within a pure
view of the 18th section Of the pre-

Those made by Healy were indicta-

Healy be not prosecuted. Trevylan
said if Heally and Davitt persisted
in making infammatory speeches
an application would be made to
have them bound over to be of good

cution. Healy here arose in defiant
manner and said he begged to in
