Auitorte ‘on tho part of the Pennsylvania Railroat Company having falled to Indnee Mr. Vanderbilt to agree upon on nidvanee in passenger rates, that company yesterday de ehled to “play It, atone,” and inake an ads yonce on 1s own hook. 1¢ ts hardly proba- ble that the Pennsylvania took this step be- cause It thinks 1¢ hotds.“a full hand” anc ts able to hun! Inthe eltips, Tho Pennsylvania people no doubt acted ns thoy did In order to test the sincerity of Vanderbtit, who luis that he Is satigtled with the present condition ofafalrs, and to ave whether he was ready to Jollow suit In advancing rates, ‘The Pennsylvania people surprised every: body when yesterday morning they an- nounced the following advance In rates; Chi- cogoto New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, gross rite $17.60, rebate $5; net rate, $12.50; ig Boatone Krone ale 10; rebate, Sd; net rate, $13.50, Cleve- Soe) ee york, Phtlatelpiita, and Whit incton, gross rate, S145 tebate, $5; not rate, $9; to Boston gross rate, $155 reliable, $3; het rate, $10, ‘Totedo te New York, Phila- delphla, Baltimore, and Washington, gross rate, $15; rebate, $5; net rate, $10; to Bos- ton, gross rate, S10; rebate, $5; net rate, $11. Apis is an advance of $7.50 all round, ‘Although {that been rumored for some days past that the Pennsylvania had decided to take such action, it was not generally be- Jleved that the reports were true, ‘After the truth of the report had been annsyly 7 ae cuo clleet, Mtr il, B. Ledyard, Genoral ry of the Michigan Central, aa ir. John Newall, Genoral Man‘ ager of tha Li Shore, held aconference tor the purpose of discussing the situation, and determining what steps the ‘Vanderbilt fines should take under the cir cumstances. They did notthink that they oughtto meet the rates announced by 18 Pennsylyanin Company, but they came to conelusion that the Inrgs advanee made by Pennsylvanin, would warrant then In mak- ing aslight advance In rates also, Durln the afternoon the General Passenger on ‘Teket Agents of the two Vanderbift roads announced that commencing this morning these roads would chargo the following rates: Chicago to New York, gross rate $15, rebate $7.25: net rate, $7.75, ‘To Bostun via ‘Troy and Albany, gross rate $16, rebate $7.25: net rate $875. ‘To Springiield, Mass, gross mite $15, rebuto $7.25; net rate $7.75, ‘To Boston, vis New York, {gross rata $20.76, rebate $7,254 net rate $15.50, This is an ad- vanes of $2.75, or $4.75 less than the ad- yanew made by the Pennsylvania. It caused considerable surprise that tho Pennsylvania should make the gross rate $17.5, when the regular lHuvited rate Is but Ee and it was at onee predicted that this position could not be maintained. ‘his pre- dletion turned ont to be correct, for Inte last evening a dispatel was reewlved by the Incal otlicers uf the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne from General Passenger Agent E. A, ‘Ford, In- structing them that, conumencing this morn- Ing, they should cease to sell rebate tickets altogether, and instead sell straight tickets to New York at $14 ond to Boston vin New York on the 3:30 p, m, fast express ouly at 315. This makes the advance on the Penn- sylvania §9, leaving the rates but St Juss than What they were before tha present passenger warcommenced. ‘Tho fact that the Pennsyl- Yania had changed its program und decided to cease selling rebate tickets, and hereafter sell straight tickets for $14 to New York, Fulladelphi, Baltimore, and Washington, ‘was not known yesterday to the Vanderbiit People, and it 1s, therefore, not possible to tell what thoy willdo when they become aware of the fact. ‘The likellhood, however, isthat fur the present they will adhere to therates announced above. ‘The Baltimore & Onlo continued to sell tickets for $5, and Upto last evening no orders had been re- celved to mukuanadvance. It is belleved, however, that somo understanding exists be- Ureen the Baltimore & Ohio and the Ponn- ‘ylvania people, aud that the Baltimore & blo will adopt any rates the Pennsylvania pay choose to niake, As far as can be earned from tho ofliclals of thoCirand Trunk, elr road has no Intention to advance pas ‘senger rates, and thoy think that thelr com- Dany will continua ‘to soll tickets at the bresent rates until Vanderblit agrees to stop the present freight and passenger war, and accord to tho Grand ‘Trunk a fair share of the seaboard business, As long as the Grand position, the Vander- broads cannot wall atford to go above tha ha decided Upon yesterday afternoon, 1s xe Grand Trunk has good lings to Boston and a i aw York via the Vermont Central and Erle roads, no matter how much mor the pelnsylvantis Ja charging.
