Gould and tho Union Pacific.

New YORK, Sept. IA Union Pacific di-
rector says: II have not heard that Gould,
Sage or Dillon have sold any of their Union
Pacific holdings as reported. They are
all heavy subscribers to the debt certificates
and it would be hardly likely for them to
sell out at this time. Upward of three
quarters of the debt certificates are now
placed and the amount is being steadily in
creased. do not know whether Dillon is
going to resign or hot"
NThe reports circulated about pending de-
velopments in regard to Union Pacific
affairs are denied by tine officers and direct
ors of the company. The report that sid
new Dillon will resign the presidency is
called ridiculous by Director Orr.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The fact that the Bur-
lington company is pushing an extension OF
its lines to Helena, Mont, is being util-
lied in certain quar- ers to create discord
among the members of the Western Traffic
association. The Montana lines have sud
denly awakened to the fact that when the
extension is completed the Burlington will
be an active competitor, with the shortest
line from Helena to Chicago, and it is un-
derstood they will lay the matter before the
advisory board next month, with the ale
cation that the Burlington has violated its
agreement. The Burlington PEOPLE say the
extension was begun before the Western
traffic agreement was made.

Within Two Years.
A Claim That 1t Will Bring This

Chicago.
The Way II In Calculated the Line VIII BE
. Paying One--The TraBsconti-
mental Agreement.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-[special. within
two years Helena will have new railway
connection with the east. The manage
ment Of the Burlington has decided to
push the construction OF that road west
ward, and to reach for share Of the traffic
now controlled by the Northern Pacific,
Union Pacific and Great Northern. The
western terminus of the Burlington is now
at Merino, Wyo., just west Of the Black
Hills. and in the region Of u great coal
field, the product Of which, it is claimed,
can be transformed into an excellent arti-
Gle of coke. The smelters OF Omaha. Dem
yer, Pueblo, Argentine, Leadville and
Deadwood have been mainly fed upon Con
nellsville or Glenwood Springs coke, but
the product Of the Pennsylvania furnaces
will now, Burlington people are confident,
be superseded by coke from Wyoming.
This coke will also, when the projected line
shall have been completed, be laid down at
the emelters in Helena, Butte, and proba-
bly, Anaconda. This will furnish the new
road with traffic westward, while the pro-
duct of the smelters and the ranges of Mon
tana are expected to insure a profitable
carrying trade eastward. Following the
Reu0fal COurS6 Oh Jue Olu LuLlbhIy lohdo
from Deadwood northward, and passing
through the valley of the Yellowstone. the
road will branch somewhere near Gallatin.
one line reaching to Helena and the other
to Butte. The Burlington, it is claimed,
will thus have line from Helena to Chi
caeo that is 200 miles shorter than any of
the existing railways, and thus be in posi-
tion to dictate to competing lines in the
matter of rates.
This plan of the Burlington is violation
of traffic arrangement that has long been
in existence between the 60" and the
transoontinental lines. The consequences
have been foreseen, and there will be no
protest from the Union and Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern companies, as
they will invade the territory hitherto con-
ceded to the Burlington. The latter road
is calculating upon the advantages it will
have in the possession of the Cambria coke
furnace of Wyoming, as we'll as upon the
traffic to be obtained from the smelters and
mines of Montana. However. there will be
a decided disturbance when the traffic asso-
citation meets in this city month hence.
