After waiting here anxiously for some time, a telegram was received by a disinterested railroad man, that Mr. Porter had agreed to Mr. Keep'a mode of settlement. Mr. Cable had nothing to feay In regard to Mr.

Dowg reply, intimating that be did aot Know of any attempts at pease-maAInc inally, it was secured in a roundabout way that Mr. Dows had assented to the proposition in the interest of peace. According to Mr. Keep' all rate on all line In interest will be restored to-dav, and arrangement made at once to bold a MKBTTSO CHICAGO at an early day. when the terms of a final settlement will be discussed.

In case of a disagreement, the matter will be left to arbitration. Of course a good man will be necessary for arbitra tor, la case one in needed. A manager said last evening that he thought a good arbitrator could be fuoud easily. Me tbought that Mr. H- K.

The laat named line demanded one-third the freight- business from Minneapolis and 20 per oent from St. Paul. Tbe other lines named have steadily refused this demand.

No proposition to arbitrate bas been rnsae by the other lines to tbe Minneapolis and Pt. Louis or to the Hue of which it forms a part.

Nov. 27. The prospect of tb war among the railroad leading to the Northwest out of Chicago waa the main topic of talk In Wall atreet to-day, and tne chance of conference or no coaler. noe waa discussed la all its bearings. Many in the day it was announced that there waa an agreement to go Into a conference looking toward a settlement of the difficulty, and that the mattor had been agreed to by the officer of the Northwestern.

RocK Island. and the St. Paot eomDaniea. but that President Porter.ot tbe Omaha Company, was not disponed to enter the council of pesos. Later iu tbe day came aa announcement very circumstantial and presumably very direct that President Porter bad sent a not to tbe other Presidents asking that a meeting be held la this city oa Wednesday, and aoggeatlag that every question of whatever sort that mlgbbarise ssoutd be made the subject of arbitration.

It was siguihoant. however, that this bit of Information waa set art oat rn the gossip breeding atmosphere in Wall atreet last la time to get Into the Stock Kxchang, and send tb closing prices to tbe bigheet point ot the dsy. The gossip bear having aecoiupllabed hla mission and tbe room leadera having made their dally profit, tbe trnthtul enronioier came along, and then Mr. Porter repudiated the idea of his conference where It was. It waa ei Deo ted that tbe fry fact of entry carried wttb It a stoppage of oat rates and a restoration of the high ti i while railroad Preaideal talked and talked.

THE UUB8TION OF BATE wa the one line toulc for a conference to take up. and If that waa to be crushed at the outset there might be any quantity of talc on irregular topics, ana all the time tbe etieot of a aeeisive rate war would be lost.
