1mportant railroad oonference.

BosToS, June GA special from Concord,
N. H., says an i'm portant conference OF promi-
nent railroad officials is being held there to-day
to endeavor to secure q compromise basis for
legislative action at the present session. One
of the delegates said there Is an earnest desire
on the part Of all the railroads centering 10
Concord, and also Manchester and Lawrence,
Boston ~ Maine, Eastern, Boston Il Lowell
aud Nashua & Lowell, to agree upon legisla-
ton. We are endeayoring to agree upon bill
which shall embrace provisions for general
railroad law, aud for the privilege of consolids-
ton under the latter stipulation. The rail-
roads have no desire 10 build up monopoly
but simply as occasions may demand to so
unite their interests that railroads may be
more economically and at the same time FIBER
ally managed, No legislation will be attempt-
cd by either corporation until the result OF the
conference is reached. The result will not be
attained for several days, but there is reasona-
BILE hope that compromise will be effected.
