and up to the close of Office hours no
official information was received. The
general Impression prevailing was that
the rumor of settlement was correct.
The proposition to restore the rates
had not been accepted by the roads, but
it seems almost certain that IL will be
settled about March 31Ht or April 1st,
pending the meeting OF the two presi-
dents.

rate war is ended. As was stated above,
no official information was received in
the city yesterday beyond the dis
patches in the newspapers. The follow

night. will confirm all previous reports

from nigh railroad source that one OF

York via Washington and Baltimore to
Cincinnati, with the Big Four line, an
other Vanderbilt property, which will be
used at st. Louis. and from st. Louis to
Galveston, Tex, the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, Standard OIL property.
This would give the Vanderbilts a line
direct from Galveston through to New
York. President Rouse of the Missouri,

tive OF the Vanderbilt interests, are en-
route here and will arrive this evening,
