cepted here A. fact and il looked on
by the other members Of the low. pool
As cnimIuttlon of the policy Of the
1t. Paul road, oa:lined by il when It

erai Manager Potter of the Burlington,
DECLARED thls morning that he did not
believe the three roads had signed any
compact which contemplated any con-
tract on their part 20 control all the
business Of the Union Pacific road, and
be did not believe the Union Pacific
managers had authority to make any
such agreement. In his opinion the
compact provided that the three lines
should maintain the DIVISION between
the Iowa lines and the Union Pacific on
through and local business now ia force
Potter also expressed the opinion that
the entire aff air WAS largely a street
movement tO bear Burlington stock in
particular and that his rivals did not
care to enter upon Career of warfare.
As confirming the fact that the Rock
Island and St. Paui roads had pooled
Their Issues for the present campaign,
the former road notified the Darlington
OF lts intention to withdraw from the
Iowa passenger pool On January lst, Of
which II has b on member for the p st
fourteen years. 1t has given no sign
that II cOntemplates a retirement from
the freight pool as we'll: but notice to
that effect would not be considered as
surprising. which would place il on the
same footing with its confederate, the
IT. Paul road, and AT the beginalng of
the new year would allow II perfect free
dom OF action AZ against the other Iowa
roads. The adjourned meeting for
Thursday OF this week has been post
poned until Tuesday of next week, when
the terms Of the compact are expected
To he made known to the other lines.
and the fact that on the announcement
Of this they caa join the new alliance is
looked upon as official on the part of
the Rock Island and 81. Paul roads, and
that ether roads can join t.e new pool
but on the terms proposed to them.
This IL the view of majority of the
officials oonversed with today, and aA
the result of that adjourned conference
or war.
