The work of establishing the new association and putting It on a firm r.orklng basis. Is proceeding and by tomor row the work of organization will undoubt edly bo complete \mong those In attendance at the meeting arcH C Townspnd of St. Louis , general passenger agent of the Missouri I'aclllc ; I ) .

The remainder of tlu meeting , which will probably last two .lavs , will bo devoted to a consideration of the report.

The territory embraced within the juris diction of the now association will reach from the .Mlpeourl river to Utah , taking In the Oregon Short Lino. It Is designed that the Transmlssourl association shall work In harmony with the Western Passenger as sociation , but the latter will hereafter have Its authority limited to the territory be tween Chicago ami the Missouri river. Heretofore the lines between Chicago nml Colorado hu\o conio under the control ol the Wewtcrn Passenger association. The division of this association In order to form the now ono has drawn foitli a great deal ot antipathy from the Chicago passenger men. In speaking of the telegram from Chlcagc pronouncing the new association a failure before It had started , General Passengei Agent Buchanan said"So far as I know there Is no truth In the report. The f.icl that wo arc hero shows that wo have nol abandoned the association. I ptcsumo the report originated with souio of the Chlcagc folks who have not at any time been favora ble to the Idea of a now association for tlu transmlasourl lines " The meeting of general passenger agent ! yesterday adjourned without adopting tin agreement submitted for the formation o the Transmtssourl Passenger association The adjournment was taken to allow thi agreement to lie worked over to fit the re cent decision ot the United States suprenv court against ( he Joint Train ? association It was stated by ono of the passenger mei after the adjournment of ( ho meeting tha ron-actlon at this meeting did not at al Indicate that the association vsould not tn formed , but merely that Its establlshmcn had been postponed to make the organUa tlon accord with the law as Interpreted b ; the supreme court.

The railroads arc going to offer Induce ments for other people besides Omahans to attend the closing exercises of the Trans- Mississippi Exposition. A proposition Is now under consideration by the Burlington , flic Union Pacific , the Hoik Inland , the Mis- fourl Pacific , the Klkliom , and the Omaha roads to make n round trip rate of SO per cent of the one-way faro to Omnha and re turn from ull points within 200 miles of Omaha for Omaha day , October 31. The Indications arc that the proposition will prevail , as the general passenger agents of most of the lines h.ivo already expressed thcnwlvcn In favor of the rate It Is not probable that the Iowa linn , wlir put In the reduced raetF , although there appears no good reason why they should not do as much for the closing day of the exposition as thu roads west of the Missouri river. The gen eral passenger agents of the trausmlraourl lints express the belief that an enormous crowd of people will coino In on Monday , If It Is a clear day , to help the good folks ot Omaha celebrate the close of their success ful exposition.
