The Transcontinen entail Troubles.

New YORK, March 25th.-Kiernan's Ne,os
Agency has the following: The Southern
Pacific Company wants to arbitrate the
Transeontinental troubles, but President
Strong OF the Atchison does not. He wants
two pools, one for the south, including
only the Southern Pacific and the Atchi-
son, and Union Pacific, Denver and Rio
Grande, and one pool for the north, in
Guiding the Northern Pacific. To this the
Southern Pacific most positively objects.
Southern Pacific officials say that President
Strons's position is absolutely untenable,
and would be so regarded al once by a
board OF impartial arbiirators. The cor
respondence going on between Huntington
and Strong is simply an effort on the part
OF huntington TO convince Strong of this
fact. President Strong arrived here from
Boston to-day and was at once closeted
with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
officials. All sorts of rumors as to speedy
cessation of hoStilities were set afloat. 1t
Is reported that the Atchison people are
willing to concede that they asked too high
a percentage at the meeting of pool mana
gers, and will do all they can to bring
about truce.
