The Cruisers, Bad Doings.

Butte, 4.-Bugh Coyle, advance sgent
for the John L. Sullivan combination,
arrived here to-day to arrange for the ap-
pesrance of the great champion IN this
city: Mr.. Ooyle is much exercised over
the dispatches which have been
pub ished broadcast representing
Sullivan and other members
ofthe combination, getting drunk and
engaging in broiis at Denver, LeAdViiie
and other points, which he denounces
upqualifedly as untrue, especially re-
garding the Denver story. OF Sullivan
engaging in q fight in front Of the Arcade
saloon, on the morning OF January Znd,
and running into the American House,
where he demanded q revolver, which
was refused, and he was run out OF the
house At it's muzEle. he calls attention
to the fact that the Ameri IAN House Is
FIVE bl,cks from the Arcade saloon, and
SAYS that now that Sullivan and the en-
tire party are engaged in a.
business venture, which, aside from
their we'll known regulations for sobriety,
necessitates strict adherence to business
habits and q businesslike prosecution of
their enterprise. Dispatches Of this char
acter have followed them along the en-
tire route. He attributed their author
ship to jealousy and denouuces them IS
false. The Denver dispatch he stigma
tizes as designing, and seLt with the evil
dent object Of iDjuring Sullivan, as is
shown by the expression Of opinion with
which it closes, intimating that some Of
the sluggers would bite the dust before
leaving Colorado. He says that similar
false reports were sent from Scranton and
Pottsville, Pa, but they were promptly
corrected by the Associated Press when
the facts became known.

RAILROAD RACKET.
Burlington Continues Free and
Independent.


Chicago, 5.-The statement cred.
tied to Vice-Presidept Hayes. of the
Missouri Pacific telegraphed from
New York, to the effect that the
Burlington had agreed to close a
contract on the 18th inst, to pool
competition business is denied by
officials of the Burlington in this
city, who positively declared that
burlington has not agreed with the
new western alliance to do any
thing and the company has been
committed to no announced policy.
burlington officials declare they
have only listened to propO-
sltlons coming from the other
side, with the exception
that they have positively refused to
join the new western alliance, or to
sign the tw enty-five years compact,
as has already been announced. So
far as it has been outlined, 1t is not
the policy of the Burlington to form
part of the pool as suggested at the
conference on Friday, and there
seems no present likelihood that it
WILL do so. 1t is cOntended that the
trlpartite agreement may not be
able to stand, as it comes in direct
conflict with agreements heretofore
entered into and not yet expired. 1t
IS declared to be in conflict with the
Colorado pool, which does not ex-
pre- Till August, 1884, and is also in
direct conflict with the provisions
OF the transcontinental pool only
recently organized, and to withdraw
from which requires ninety days
notice. 1t is also given out authori.
tatively that the tripartite agree,
ment has no penalty attached.
In this view it is not deemed i'm
probable, from the Burlington
standpoint, that the new alliance
may prove to be short lived, as to
break the other combination already
formed, might prove more ruinous
than to attempt to abide by the new
agreement. Burlington officials
deny the statement telegraphed
that they contemplate running solid
through trains into Omaha via
Plattsmouth. Their trains will 90
into Council Bluffs as formerly, un>
less move is made by other roads
against them. 1t is not denied that
frequent negotiations with the view
to securing the cooperation of all
western roads in the new alliance
without result. have occasioned a
strained condition of affairs which,
If some understanding be not |
reached before January 1st, may |
result in precipitating a war of |
rates, and that the questions in dis
pute will have to be settled by that |
method. 1t is also asserted that If |
a new pool is formed with the Bur
ington on one side and the Union !
Pacific and its new allies on the !
other, the pool will necessarily eX
end to Ogden. and include the
Denver & Rio Grande in the com.
