RAILROAD WAR IN TIE VEST.
An Alliance F"rmed Against the westeri
TruNk Line Association.


Trunk Line Associatiou.
CHICAGO. March 1.-Commissioner Vlning
has involved himself and his associates In an
unpleasant predicament. and how thoy can DO
eXtrcatod is u puzzle. For tho sole purpose. 1t
IL generally believed. Of teaching the Union
Pacific that no is the Western Trunk Line As
ISOLATION. he ordered the recent cut on Coora-
do rates. He counted without his host. and has
plunged tho Western roads into a war which is
linbIe to assume large proportions. The Santa
FL road could not desert the ST. Louis and San
Francisco. and has formed the closest kind Of
alliance with II. But u lar more important
complication arose from the fact that Commits
sionsr Winning ordered tho reduction in Col.
orado rates against the advice and request Of
the Burlington and the Alton. thus putting q
dnmper mI,nn the negotiations for peace. The
Alton and Burlington have put on war paint.
A. L. SOuzain. Vice PRESIDENT Of the Santa
FG road arrived in Chicago this forenoon. and
was In close consultation with the Burlington
and Alton officials until O'Clock Tonight
The result WAS the formation OF an alliance OF
the three roads mentioned tho San Francisco
aud the Denver and Rio Grande agninst the
Western Trunk Line Association. 1t is for the
purpose Of dealing with Colorado complca-
lions. but that it will be continued Is not i'm.
probable. These lines to-day fatty refused
the request OF the Trunk Line Association to
consent TO II restoration Of rates, and the gem
ora! impression Is that material cut will on
Monday DO announced by the alliance.

In which no says tho report shows conclusively
