clares positively that II will act indie
pendently unless the tripartite pool IL
dissolved, and the only road holding

pected to continue till 6 O'Clock.
The general committee of railway
managers, composed of Messrs. Hugh.
itt, Potter, KImb.ll, Rphinson, Nc
Millen and Cable. to which was referred
the problem of adjusting the differ
ences now existing between the western
lines, held an all day session here today.
The solution of the present difficulty
was supposed to rest upon the dIssolu
ton or oontindenes of tbs tripartite
pool, out OF thu organization of which
the present condition of affairs IL sup
posed to have sprung. One of the pre-
negatives OF the tripartite arrangement
IL that the roads east of the Missouri
river should make all through Rates "a
Colorado and California points. Whsu

trans Missouri pool, the Atohis IN. To
peka IL Santa Fs company declined e.
do SO as long as the tripartite, or the
power given the roads III 10 east of the
Missouri river, was allowed to oontiaue
At today's session the continuance oil
the tripartite was not discussed. A
plan was proposed, however, which wa,
adopted unanimously, and which viii
be reported to the general meeting 10
morrow. The plan WAS in the rough
and WAS not even placed in the form al
resolution. IL proposes the formation
of four pools on Colorado and Califor
MIA business, two east and two west oi
the Missouri river. the former Il
include all the Omaha and southwest
ern lines, and the latter inclu ding the
Burlington, Santa Fe and Union
Pacific roads. II In provided
that there shall be four commissioner
ships, and that conference committee,
consisting of members of oil four of tht
pools, be appointed, to arhitrate ans
difficulty affecting the roads, both eisi
and west OF the Missouri River. A res
olution To elothe this committee with
power was defeated, and the committed

A proposition by the Union Pacific and
Rock Island to recognize the tripartite
pool, was opposed by the Burlington

and the matter was dropped without
action. TIE aaoption of the plan out

Is q matter of considerable doubt, ow

the roads declared that until that mat
