CHICAGO. April T. The Western Passen-
ger Association lines and the Union Pa
cfic have finished their conference on the
emigrant question, and not thing has
come of it. The Union Pacific demanded
that it be given a portion of the Colorado
business in place of whatever 1t might
give up on through California traffic To
this the others would not agree, and the
meeting broke up. Chairman Caldwell was
instructed to take active steps to preserve
the emigrant traffic of the association lines
against the Union Pacific and he will be
backed up by all the association lines, with
in whatever he may do. The Northwestern
has implied very plainly that it will stand
or fall with the Union Pacific. and if the
fight against the latter road becomes too
hot the Northwestern will probably with
draw from the Western Passenger Associa-
ton The Atchison road still pools its is
