COnrcaco, May 21—([Special Telogram.]— Ttis firmly believed by certain prominent railroad men that there 1s no probability that the Western Freight association will everbe recognized again, and there 18 a prospect that the tripartite combination, (the West ‘Trunk association), which entails heavy e pense upon the Rock Island, Milwaukee & St. Paul, and Union Pacifie, without any benefit being derived tharefrom, will soon be abandoned.

The termi- nus of the new combination is to be extended to Cheyenne on the Union Pacific and Bis- marck and Fargo on the Northern and the Manitoba roads.
