There is a strong probability that the Diff
ferences Of the Union Pacific and the West
ern trunk lines will be adjusted at the
meeting in Chicago to-day. 1t is expected
that the Union Pacific will abandon its
claim for the long haul of business passing
through the Denver and Ogden gateways,
and that, as q consequence, the boycott
against 1t will be lifted. Neither side to
the controversy is prepared to say in adj
vance of the meeting what action will be
taken concerning the Puget sound business.
The Union Pacific, however, has strong
hopes that 1t will be allowed to insert
its rates to Puget sound points in the rate
sheets. 1t is difficult to see how the other
roads can allow this, as they are bound
to the Northern Pacific in the strongest
manner to allow that line the Puget sound
business. II the trunk-line committee takes

It will certainly force the Northern Pacific
out. The Alton and the Northwestern are
standing stoutly by the Union Pacific, and
all three have strong hopes of a victory, or
at least of receiving very material conces-
sions in to-morrow's meeting.

VIII Avoid Receivershfps.

The claims of the bondholders OF the
Evansville & Richmond against the Evans
Vile G. Terre Haute company are in a fair
way of being settled without a receiver for
either road. The owners of $701, 900 of the
bonds OF the Evansville & Richmond nave
accepted the proposition, representing a ma
jority, but the remaining holders of bonds
can avail themselves Of the advantages the
adjustment offers up to Feb. Is. This is be-
1ieved to be the wisest and speediest way
out of the financial enlargement, as it has
ceivershIp hat If a settlement is not
reached it means that the suits now pend
ing will result in fecefverships not only for
the Evansville e. Richmond, but also for
the Evansville e. Terre Haute, which guar

bondholders of the Evansville & Richmond

Two Casrs of Diphtheris.

|. Great Falls. Dec. 3.-There are two
cases OF dyphtheria on the west side,
Julia, aged 13 and Minnie. aged s,
daughters Of Mr.. and Mrs. John Albert.
DR.. ]. NJ. Frizzel reported the cases
TO the board of health to-day and a
strict quarantine has since been es-
tablished. The children have been at
tending school, but not since wednes-
day OF last week. Mr.. Albert has been
visiting Sand Coulee two or three
times each week lately and II is be-
lieved he brought the disease from
that infected camp. The impression
obtains that Sand Coulee ought to be
auarantined until the disease has had
its run.
