rnportant Railroad Meeting.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The general com
mittee of railway managers, composed
of Messrs. Hughitt, Potter, kimball,
Robinson, McMullen and Gable, to
which was referred the problem by
which the differences now existing be-
tween the Weste lines could be ad-
iusted, held an all day session here to-
day. The solution of the present dliil-
Guilty was supposed to rest upon ulsso-
luton or continuance OF the Tripartlte
pool out of the organization OF when
the present condition of affairs is sup
posed to have sprung. One OF the pre-
negatives of the rripartite agreement IL
that the roads east of the Missouri river
shall make all through rates to Colorado
ard California points, and wheh asKeu
to join, the Information OF the trans
Missouri pool-the Atchlson, Iopeka "
Santa fe-deciined 10 90 50, so long rs
the Tripartite or power given the roads
in it east OF the Missouri river WAS al
lowed To continue.
AT to-day's session the continuance of
aTripartite was not discussed. y plan
was proposed, however, which was
adopted unanimously, and which VIII
be reported to the general meeting TO-
morrow. The plan is in the rough, ana
was not even placed in aform OF q reso-
LUTON. IL proposes lllO loi iiat'uii VI
pools on the California and Colorado
business, twoe east and two west OF the
Missouri river, the lornor to include
all Omaha and southwestern lines, anc
the latter to include the Burlington
Santa Fe and Union Pacific roads. 1t Is
provided that there shall he four com
missionerships, and that conference
committee, consisting of members OF nj
four pools, be appointed to arbitrate an!
difficulty affecting the rOauS, both cas-
and wesl of the Missouri river.
A resolution to clothe this committee
with power was defeated, and the com
mittee is to serve only in advisory ca
pacity, and proposition by the Uniol
Pacific and Rock Island to recognize I'll
Tripartite pool was opposed, by the Bnr
Hngton, Northwestern and Santa re
and the matter was dropped without &c
ton. And as to the probability OF TN
adoption of the plan outlined at the ger
eral meeting tomorrow is matter
considerable doubt, owing to the faiiur
to take any definite action as TO the col
tinuance of the Tripartite agreement.
Prominent officials of two of the road
declared they were - unit until Una
matter has been finally decided and III
Tripartite agreement dissolved. Inc
also declared the formation OF new poo
was purely conjecture. 1t is eXpectc
that some decision on this question WI
be necessarily reached TO morrow
