St. Louis-The .Trent local ticket rale and the L'.uoo-mib? interchange. able lank will be put in effect April lo, according to an olilcial statement issued by ihe eighteen railroad: la Missouri. The ntai niont was issued after the return of the railroad repre sentatives from Jefferson City, where conferences 011 the passenger rale question were held with Governor lladley, Attorney General Major and members of the. railroad committee of the legislature. The blntcmcul also announces thai, actions to lest the validity of ihe L' cent laws in adjoliiging slates will be brought at. once. After slating that the most cordial good feeling existed during the conference at. Jefferson City, the statement reads: "As the matter now r.iainls as be tween tho railroad proposition and that of the executive and legislative departments there is a difference which mght bo classified ns detail. "In other words, the establishment of the 3-cent basis for through and in terstate rates will not be objected u. and a 2,000-mile lmei-chaiiKnbl-mileage book upon a basis of 1! cents net Is acceptable to both sides. The' slate favors a r.oo niile book, good up on an individual railroad and for bearer, at. V. cents per mile. "The railroads offer in lieu of thi.i a .'lOo-niile book, pood over all of the railroads in the stale and for bearer,: at 2!i cents per mile; and upon an, Individual railroad a r.oo-milo book, good for owner only, for 2U cents per mile, all in Ilea le books in both cases to be good for one year.

"The mileage book, which the rail roads offer, would be flat,2!'j cents; the difference would not represent a profit to both fiealper and purchaser, therefore, this ticket would not be scalped." In reference to the traveler of small means and for short distances the statement reads: "The opinion of every passenger truffle, official is that, the practical effect of the L'V.-cent statewide mile age book would be to extend the ben efit of that rate to every traveler.

"At the present time -no further conference is contemplated. "In the meant line the Il-ccnt local ticket rale and the 2,oimi -mile? inter changeable bc.ol; will be put in effect. April in.
