CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The Tribune
will print the following account Of
the meeting Of the TranscOntinental
Association: Even if the meeting is
enabled to begin deliberatiOn on the
contract system and ,ther important
questions to be decided, it is hardly
probable that it will get through its
work this week, and other meetings
will probably have to be held next
week. The general passenger agents
were to have met yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of having another
conference with roads east of the
Missouri river regarding the settle
ment of the dispute about division of
rates, but as the general managers
had not yet been able to go to work
by that time, an adjournment was
taken until 2 p. m. to-day. The meet
ing is to be held at the Grand Pacific
hotel. 1t is the general opinion that
the arrangement made at San Fran
cisco, by which the same rate to San
Francisco is charged by all possible
routes, is impractlcable, ana it is be-
lieved that the agreement will be so
changed as to make the rate to San
Francisco via Portland higher than
by direct routes, and the rate to Port !
land and Oregon and Washington
Territory points higher by way Of
San Francisco than Ivy the Northern !
Pacific or Oregon Short Line. Such
an arrangement, it is believed, will
find but little oppositio | among roads
east Of the Missouri river.
