CHICAGO, March This afternoon Mr..
Hughitt, of the Northwestern, was conspicu-
ously absent. The report of the committee
of general freight agents relative to per
centages was taken up and several
ballots were taken but they came
to no agreement. The relative per centages
in the first ballot were in about the following
proportions: St. Paul, 40; Northwestern, 30;
Rock Island, 20; Burlington, 10. The Rock
Island and Northwestern each wanted a little
more, and not being willing to make con-
cessions, it was apparent that
an agreement was impossible. A
resolution was then offered by Mr.. Gable,
providing that pool on Northwestern bust
ness be formed to continue for two years,
and that the settlement Of per cent
age be left with committee
Of three arbitrators of whom Geo. NJ.
Bogue should be one. The resolution Sc
cured the affirmative votes of all but the
Northwestern, Mr. Wicker stating that he
was not authorized to vote upon the
question. This unexpected announcement
brought the negotiations to an end without
unnecessary ceremony, and motion to adj
iourn, subject to the call of the
commissioner, was promptly carried BY
unanimous vote. President Cable was asked
after the meeting if he thought there was any
prospect Of forming Northwestern pool.
'Candidly'' said he, 81 do not believe it
will be formed"
'Can a war of rates be avoided?n
"Trouble will necessarily follow the dis
solution of the Northwestern Traffic associa-
ton, if no other is organized to take its
place"
E. P. Ripley, of the Burlington, was asked
what he thought of the outlook.
ut is not encouraging said he. ''The
Northwestern apparently does not want to
become party to northwestern pool The
reason for this it is useless to conjecture
That it assumes such opposition is sufficient
evidence for feaaing trouble in the north
west"
''Would the Burlington be satisfied with 10
per cent. of the west-bound business be-
tween Chicago and st. Paull' ''That is all
we ask.''
While nearly all others have practically
abandoned ahope of satisfactory settlement,
commissioner Cannon still believes matters
will be fixed up. He will probably call
another meeting at an early day which he
hopes will avert the threatened calamities.

By the grace Of Mr.. springers committee
ex-senator Spenser has been afforded an op-
portunity to testify all he knows about
the star route frauds, and his testimony
amounts to this, that of his own knowledge
he knew of no material thing that would be
admitted as evidence that would tend to con-
Wet. And yet he claims to have told the
breezy that he could make great reputation
by breaking up the star route ring. The
testimony of James and Spenser and one or
two others, given to the committee forces the
impression chat the honestest men in any
way connected with the star route affair were
the prosecuted contractors, and the big ras-
Gals in the lot were the fellows who bawled
"stoLN thief" the loudest. As for Spenser he
deserves to be death with for his contempt
Of common sense.
