ALLIANCE OF r. j. AND U. p.
Believed That the Two Systems Have
Deal On,

New York. Feb. 4.---It has been au-
thentically learned that an important
development is pending between the
Rock Island road and another of the
important railroads OF the country. This
other railroad, it was positively stated,
Is not the Erie or the Atchinson, Topeka
= Santa Fe, both of which roads have
been mentioned by Wall street rumors
as likely to be invoired in a deal with
the Rock Island. While it could not
be learned positively that the Union
Pacific interests. which are also in con-
troll of the Southern Pacific road, are
ehose with which the Rock Island nego-
tfations have been conducted. the sug-
gestion to that effect was made and not
denied Directors of the Rock Island
company and of the Union Pacific COM
pany, when asked whether there was
any deal between the two interests, de-
clined absolutely to discuss the matter.
One director of the Union Pacific
Railroad company who was asked
whether such a deal had been arranged
or was pending, replied: You will have
to see the Rock Island company or the
chairman of the Union Pacific, ii. ii.
Hartman. I can saw nothing.

A glance at the railroad map of the
central west and Pacific coast terri
tory shows the obvious advantages OF
& close business arrangement between
the Rock Island system and the Union
,2acific Southern Pacific system. by
.uch an arrangement the Rock Island
would gain an quito. to the Paciflc
soast that 1t has long desired. The Rock
zIsland on the north makes junction
with the Union Pacific at Denver and
its traffic by this route would reach
Portland or San Francisco. while on the
south the Rock Island Joins the Sou
thern Pacific at El Paso and could
thereby reach Los Angeles in Lower
California. Such a deal would open up
the Pacific system which extends on
the north to st. Paul and Minneapolis,
and the east to Chicago, st. Louis, ana
Memphis. on the south to Galveston.

mittee OF miners and mine owners.
which is trying to reach a basis for an
agreement for the coming year in the
bituminous districts, was in almost
continuous session yesterday and last
evening, but accomplished nothing.
There was a report that some members
of the miners committee were willing
to compromise II the operators would
concede the run of mine and differen-
tial demands, but the Ohio and Penn
sylvania owners expressed continued
opposition to both demands and the
plan was abandoned.
The operators are willing to concede
an advance of cents . ton as a base
thruout the competitive district, and to
increase the wages of inside day labor
ers from 10 to Is per cent, but the diff
ferential and run of mine demands OF
the -zi.iers rfeN.ent Il settlement. There
is no sign of a break in the deadlock.
Replying to a statement by w. s.
Boyle that miners enjoy cheaper insur-
ance than any other class of workmen,
President John Mitchell made public
a long list of occupations and insurance
showing that coal miners pay the high
est rate for accident insurance.
