with the situation the comity of st clair was large and populous and the powers of the sheriff great these had not been exhausted and until they were he could not call on the military for aid if

five freight trains were sent east without a guard glaid new york I 1 there was a meeting of the presidents of the southern pacific union pacific and atchison topeka santa fe railways at the residence ot of C P huntington to day huntington when asked about it said we talked over the situation in a friendly way and several points which chic h had not noc been well understood were explained pla ined I 1 do not like to say we came to an understanding or that a settlement Is sure because so many things might occur which would upset our plans but I 1 think it safe to say there will probably be a settlement within thirty days I 1 thought we were near a settlement when we had our last meeting but certain things came into the discussion which prevented our ships carr carry about tons of freight and perhaps one fourth of this f freight was for through points the balance bei being na for louisiana and texas points where the rates were vot not cut so we have made money on every vessel that has gone out of course we have lost a great deal in through business but I 1 would feel that my fifty f ty years experience was washed if we could not carry on the tight fight on one of our lines for twelve months it maybe may be that before a settlement can be made our traffic managers will wid have to settle tb the e details vi CHICAGO 1 the attendance upon the citrus fair in this city
