STAND OFF WITH PAcIFICs.
No Advantage to Either in Settlement
of Differences.

The following statement. attributed to
Northern Pacific director, was made in New
York yesterday afternoon: Certain state
ments concerning the adjustment Of the diff
ferences between the Northern Pacific and
Union Pacific are misleading In their dec
laration that there has been any advantage
gained by either party or that anybody has
been beaten.
The dispute, which dates back to 1900.
and has been the source of constant conflict
and disturbance of far-reaching conse-
quences ever since, has. as the result of con-
ferences in which mutual concessions were
made all round, been settled broadly and as
finality by an agreement for the develop
ment of the country in question by the con-
struction of joint lines for the equal benefit
and use of both companies.
Both roads were at the portal of this
country. and both with about equal claim to
its territory. The settlement means much
and evidences a determination to meet all
and any matters that may arise hereafter
