J. H. WiLson, Recelver and General Munager, TNE MISSOURT IRIVER WAR, Information was recelved hero yesterday that the 8t. Louls ronds have made another redue- tion fo rates from 8t. Louls to Missour! River ‘Tho new rates nrc s follow polnte. First, second, and third class, 10 conts per 100 pounts; fourth and special classes, Give cents, The Chi- caro rosds do not mean to follow this redue- tion, aa the old rates are such that 8t. Louls annot cxact Its regular difference unless it reduces the ratcs on some classes below noth. jog. The Chicago rates are: First and,sccond class, 18 cents; third class, 15 cents; nnd fourth and special classes, 10 cents. ‘Tho managers of the Chicazo ronds sny it does not matter what rates the 8t Louls roads now make, as at the nbove they get all the busincss they want. The ~gralu-rates from Misourt River points to Chicago re. maln st seven cents per 100 pounds, and the - shippers ore taking such advantage of these low rates that the rafiroads canuot supply enough cars, and for this reason an lucrease may become necessnry, The grain-rate from Missourd River pointa” to 8t. Louls s sald to bo elght cents, and very Mttle s golng that way. The Bt. Louls roads evidently have now reachicd bottom rates, and the fizht will have to remain in the present status until onc side or the other begins to weaken, That Chicago will mot weaken firat, is n foregono conelusion, DISTURDED PASSENGER RATES. There §s conalderable danger of & new fight in regard to the passenger business to the Enst. Beversl months ago the roads lending East from this city agrecd to pay no morc commnis- slous to outside partles, and to purchase back all tho tickets In the hands of outside parties at that time, at the regulor rates, There wers o large number of the tickets of the Michigan Central and Lake Shora & Michigan Boutbern outstandingfaud they succecded In re- deeming most of them, Lately, however, the General Passenger Azents succceded in getting sslen of & number of sccond-class tickets sued by the Michigah Central. ‘These tickets bears date previous to the udoptton of tho agreement, and tho Uencral Passenirer Agrent of the Michigan Central claims that these tlckets we of the old fssuc, and that he had been un- able toredcem thew. He declared his willing. ness to redeem all the tickets at thelr full value it preacnted to him. Tho General Passenger Agent of the Lake Bhore & Michigan Southern, however, is not satlsfied with this apparently ltulzhl(arwnd explanation, and claima that the ticketa in his poasossion have been fssued lately and antedated. Ile has therefore plnced number of bis tickets ju the hands of ‘outside parties, but he clalma that be mercly put out enough to cover the amount Issued by hils rival; in fact, he is exchanging his awn tickets forthoss of the Michigan Central, This misun- denstanding will necessarily lead to o rupture, and the result will be that the scalpers will bo sbleto do agaln o flourishing and profitable business. Charges arc also miade eguinst tho Bittsburp & Fort Wayne, Erlo & Chicugo, Grand Truuk, and Canaila Bouthern Ratironds of hay- Ing vlolated the agreement by payine commis- slous to outside parties contrary to stipulation. Ameeting of General Passenger Azents will bo beld on the 20th, when this matter will he the fflnclp-l theme of discussion. The way things ook now it 18 hardly probavle that harmony can berestored, and everything fndicates a bitter fight between Lho various Eastern ronds, which may ultimately result in tho cutting of the reg- ular rates.

It will be held, and we shall begin to put our hands to the most arduous, dauger- fraught piece of international work that hLas Leen attempted aince the begluning of the cen- tury. If Russfa refuses .to acede to those terms there s no necessity for us to declare war agafust her, and it Is to tho lostde- gree improbable that the Government sill re- sort to a declaration of war.
