The inauguration of & new war among the roilroads leading from this city to the East was the principal theme of discussion in raflway clecles, and the cxcitement was running bigh all day. Every road leading from this city to the East exceptthe Baltimore & Obio Raflroad hasfol- lowed the reduction made in passenger rates by the Lake Skore & Mlehlgun Bouthern, and the windows of the various ticket-oflices were dee- ornted with flaming posters, sotting forth the reduction in rates that had Lecn decided upon, and reciting the wonderful advantages to Le derlyed by taking that particular line, It s feared that §f the present difficulty is not spcedly scttled it will assumo monstrous propositions and extend to freight tates ng well as to passenger rates and the run- ning uf extraoniinary fust trains., Efforts ara pow belng made to compromise the matter, but, s every possiblo argument has been exbausted during the Jast two weeks, It will be no casy matter to come to af understanding, The Pennsylvania Company has bean In sesslon of Vanderbilt’s ultfinstum during the last two weeks, and when Mr. Mo Cullough scnt bis dispatch to Mr. Newell, ¥ri- d-iancmmn, announcing that the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne Rallroad would not withdraw its faat train until some compromise was first ef- fected with the Wabash llnclmhe must have known that war would tho result. It is clalmed by some that the Pennsylvania Company did not believe that 1ts rolusal to withdraw its fast traln would ro- sult In a cut in passenger rates, but would merely foree the other roads to run fast tralns also. Now that acut in rates has been made, contrary to the expectation: tho Penm{ln- nia Company, It would withdraw Ita fast traln ratlicr than keep up & war In rates. This theory, however, can hardly bo fléht, as Mr. Vanderbilt sald to Mr McCul- lough when he was in this city about a month ago that he would sooner cut the ratcs than put vn a fast train, The Pennsvlvania veopls are kuown to always adhors to a posi- tion they have once taken, no matter what tho cousequences nay be, and they undoubtedly wera fully prepared for the turnof affairs yes- terday, and they undoubtedly mean to fight as long *'as thers fs eny.fght loft in them. The managers of ~ the road claim that they are fighting for the interest of Chicago, as It would injure this city to allow ronds running East from southwestern {‘»oluu and which bavo longer lines, to make better time, The ofllcials of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, on the other_hand, claim_that there i8 no occaslon for the Pltubqrfi & Fort Waynu Railrond to grumble, as the Wabash train is not injuring its business. In addition to the reduc- tion In rates, tho Lake Shore & Michigan Southern nnd the Michiran Contral mean to put ou fast trains in o%paalfinn to the_fast trains of tho Plttsburg & Fort Wayne. They haye not yet declded, however, whetlicr to have thelr fust train leava here In the evening or fu the morn- Ing. They think they can make arrangements by which” thelr fast trains can leava hers at 80 a. m. and reach New York at 4:80 p. m. the following day. They belleve that by dolng this they “will wet mors buslucss " than the Plitsburg & Fort Wavne, or any of the roads leading to the Kast from the Southwest. As stated above, the Hal- tinora'd Ohlo Is the only road leading. from this city Kast which has not folluwed in tha reduc- tion that has been made. A rumor was carrent yesterday that this road conlwmrlnlml cutting the rate to New York down to £10, but main. !nlnln;hthu rutes to Baltino e and Wushing- ton, o oflicinls of the -road fn this city, on being called on to explain this matter, denounced the rumora as absurd. Tlhicy say It would be an finpossibility to cut the rates to New York to such fizures, and main- tain those to Baltimors and Washington, as the coplo could take advantago of tho low rates Y zolmi via New York or Philudelphla, or take tho Pittsburg & Fort Wayne direct. They had not yet decided to make tha reduction, be- cause they did not beliove that tho war would last ‘many days, andt that they preferred to walt until the efforts that were now belng made to adjust tho dificulty had come to naught. If peace was not reatored within a fow days the Baltimore & Olhlo would mect tho other roals, and take a hand {n the cuntest, ‘The new rates aroas follows: From Chicago to Boston vin Now York, all rdll, $10; to Boston via New York, Sound steamers, $10; to Boston vin Albany or Troy, $18; to Boston via Montreal, 814; to Now York, $135 to Philudelphla, $14; to Haltimaro, $18.30; to Washington, 813,503 43 Harrishurz; $13; to Albany or Troy, $i4; to Bpringfleld, Mass,, vin Albany, $15; o Worces- ter vis Albavy, o, 2 ANOTHIER BANKRUPT RATLRIOAD. And still another road has been ndded to the already very large Mst of hgnkriupt rallroads, The victim this timo fs tho West Wisconsin Rallroad, ono of the principal Wisconsin roads, and one which has been belloved to be tn pretty wood financial condition. This rood runs from Elroy, Wis., 8t. Peul, a dlstance of 107 tiles. 1t 1s one of the most important con- neetfons of the Chicago & Northweastern Rall- road, rs ft gives that road a dircet route to Bt. Paul and Mi nnen'wlls. and formaa part of tho Chicago, 8t. Paul & Minneapolls Lioe, The re- latlons of tho two roads have always been of the most Intimate character, and the new turn of ‘affalrs 18 not llkal{ to disturb the fricndshlp between tho two lines. The proceedings by which the rond was thrown fnto bankruptey are eald to be_the ‘resnlt of an ar- rangement of the hondholders to bring about a tharough roormnization of the road on a roe duced bofded indebtedness. Mr. Willlam . Ferry, (icneral Manager of the road, wss ap- pointed Receiver by Judge Druminond yesterday, and has gono to take possesslon of the property. In the order appolnting Mr. Ferry Receiver, this gentleman fs instructed to pay all wopes and debta for supplies that have acerued within tho last aix months.

Tt fs the gencral oplnton that Jay Gould 1s at the bottom of the pruceedings that have been taken, and that it 1s his intention to make this road a portlon of the Chirago & Northwestern Raflroad, Efforts lud “been rmvluunly made to have the road purchased by his llne, but the Chicazo & Northwestern manazers did not want 1t Incumbered with the present heavy deb. +.
