Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Perhaps the most
vital question at present in the Iowa pool
situation was settled to-day by the decision
Of the Chicago & Northwestern to join the
tripartite alliance. The news was
received from Council Bluffs late in
the afternoon, and it was known
to but few. private dispatch was re-
csived by prominent ioffciel of the S..
Paul road announcing the action of the
Northwestern, and stating also that there
was no hope of the Burlington coming
into the alliance. The telegram stated
that the meeting would adjourn
till tomorrow, and not that
it was the purpose to arrange
all details of the alliance without delay.
This arrangement leaves the Burlington
to Withstand alone the opposition of the
tripartite combination, which cannot be
otherwise than trying position,
but that the allied roads will
find the Burlington ''foe worthy of their
STEEL" it is universally conceded. A well
informed official said: "The Burlington
will be most formidable opponent, and
west of the river is able to iniure the
Union Pacific far more than the eombina-
tions east of the others can hurt the Bur-
lington between Chicago and Omaha.

Rasl..ay Meeting zajoxrned.

CHICAGO, Dec. 49, A conference was
held this evening, between Vice Commits
sioner Pearson and the representatives of
the western connections of the trunk lines
in regard to the trouble in through pas
senger rates from New York to the Mis-
souri, river, but without reaching any de-
finite conclusion they adjourned till to-
morrow. The impression prevails te-
night that the matter cannot be settled
satisfactorily. II is learned that
Commissioner Pearson asked the roads
running west to withdraw the payment of
commissions and rebates to all scalpers,
tourists, agents and others in New York,
and substitute therefor agreed commits
sions to be paid to regular agents. The
ground for this demand was, that under
the present system the western roads were
in sffest cutting the rates
in the trunk line territory, The
Rock Island & Alton railroad refused TO
come to these terms, on the ground that
the trunk lines we're trying to dictate to
them and attempting to overthrow the syE-
tenn which has besn in operation many
years. Pearson proposed that if the
western lines would adopt tbs new plan
trunk lines would adopt tho same as to the
sale of tickets in the west for the east.
Pearson will submit the proposition in
writing tomorrow.
General Mar agsr Galloway Of the Chi
sago Il Grand Trunk confirms the truth of
tho rumor that the Grand Trunk asked
Commissioner Fiuk to reduce the tariff on

present rates are not maintained. The
