VAI.I-AHVISO , Chill , Soot. Il.l. During the
monttivlilch has elapsed slnco tlio overthrow
of President Bitlmuccdn mid the establish-
merit of it provisional government by the
revolutionists , or the congressional party ,
affairs in Chill buvo boon remarkably quiet.
'I'lio principal oxcltoincnt which has occurred
In Clilll In the last row woolen w.i caused by
the suicide of the lain President Ualmacoda.
The feeling against the Into nrasldont was
bitter In the extreme , nnd there can bo no
doubt as to what his fate would hav'o boon if
ho hail liion captured by the opposition
piirty. UN hiding place had finally become
known to the opposition lenders anil at the
tlmothat ho shot himself negotiations were
pending for his .surrender.
Clilol' Subject of Interest.
The suicide of Balmaccda served to at
tract public attention but for a few days.
There Is something else which Is the ehtof
subject In Valparaiso at the present time ,
and It has called for inoro comment than
even the dnatu of the late pnxldont ot-aJTalM
relating to the reconstruction of the govern
ment. This subject Is the hostile attltudo
displayed toxvard the United States govern-
inont , and particularly against the olllclal
representative of the country hero by the
revolutionary party which Is now In power ,
and also by the foreign residents of Chill
who were strong supporters of the revolu
tionists during the recent struggle. There
is no doubt that there Is n strong fooling In
Chlla against America. This fooling Is perhaps -
haps stronger In Valparaiso than at any
other port , though there uro also numerous
indications of It In Iquiquo and other north
ern ports which were occupied by the revo
lutionary army a few months ago.
Numerous criticisms 1m vo boon passed upon
the conduct of American civil and naval rep
resentatives here , but In u majority of cases
the charges a ro apparently without founda
tion and arljo principally from thu fact that
the American ofllclais In Clilll did not give
moral nnd physical support to the revolu
tionists during the progress of war.
There is hardly a foreign resident to bo
found at any port niong the entire coast of
Chill who did not sympathize ) to a greater or
loss extent with the cause of the revolution
ists. This feeling extended to American res
idents as well as these from European coun
tries. One of the chief claims or the revolu
tionists is that the United States government
was not acquainted with thu true state of af
fairs in Chili. Several incidents occurred
during the war in which the American rep
resentatives were obliged to take de
cided action , and as this action was
ngamat thu interests of the revolutionists thu
latter regarded It In the 11 , , lit of a hostile
fooling for their cause. The seizure of the
summer Itnta was the llrst incident which
aroused the ill fooling or the revolutionists.
Notwithstanding the apparent willingness of
the Chilian authorities at Iquiquo to surren
der the liata when the demand was made
unon them , the United States American
naval ofllcyra who were In Iquiquo at the
time express .tlio opinion freely that force
was the only power to which the revolution
ists yielded hi connection with the Itatu af
fair. and that they never would have sur
rendered the steamer had it not boon for the
presence of u strong American naval forco.
Cahlo Line.
The next thing which occurred to Increase
the 111 feeling against America was the cut
ting or the cable line of the Central and South
American company near Iquique. The revo
lutionists refused to allow cable messages to
bo sent from Valparaiso nnd other ports in
the territory controlled by 13almucoda to
North America and Kuropo and to countries
in South America north of Chill. It was
owned by an American company , who np-
lics to trie United States representatives for
relief. The work was done under the super
vision of Captain Schloy of the Baltimore ,
who directed that the cable should bo cut
beyond the distance of n marine league from
the shore. The Cochrano nnd the Huascar ,
two ships of the revolutionists navy , were
also present nt the time , but the Baltimore
was fully prepared for any resistance thov
might olTor. The revolutionists regarded
this Incident as more menace on the part of
tbo Americans , and they made the claim that
the Americans cut the cable BO that Bulma-
coda's spies and agents of the northern part
of Chill could send Information to Lima by
another cable line which was Intact and than
have it rc-sont direct from Lima
to Valparaiso over the American
company's line which had boon cut. Con
sequently , during the last days the great
revolutionists had cotno to regard Americans ,
particularly the naval roprosnntatlvos hero ,
us allies of Balmacoda , nnd they were pre
pared to bnllovo any report which might
seem to substantiate their views.
The most violent attacks , however , which
the revolutionists hnvo made were upon Ad
miral IJrown , On the day that the revolu
tionary forces landed at Qulntoro , uighteon
miles north of Valparaiso , to make the final
attack upon Bulmacoda , which afterwards
resulted in his defeat and overthrow. Ad
miral Brown loft Valparaiso harbor with the
llagshlp San Francisco and wont to
Qulntoro to watch Iho landing of the
troops. The San Francisco steamed around
Qulntoro fora short time and then returned
to Valparaiso , As soon as she anchored hero
au ofllcor of Admiral Brown's staff wont
nshoro with a dispatch to bo sent to the Navy
department at Washington. The oftlcor won't
llrst to thu o tlleo of the intondento to have
the dispatch approved before it could bo for
warded by cable , that being required of ml
messages sent from Valparaiso at that tlmo.
Admiral Hrown's dispatch , which was In
cipher , was Inspected by the intunclonto , who
was ot course n representative of Balmacoda.
Within an hour or two after thU occurrence
Balmacodu's troops , which hud been In readi
ness bore , were moving toward Qulntoro and
there were newspaper extras on the success
In Valparaiso. It was published that the
San I1 ranclsco had just arrived with the
news that n half dozen men-of-war and a
number of transports were at Qulntoro and
that the revolutloniits worn lauding thoro.
CniiNO of 111 Fooling AuuiiiNt America
The details given above are these related
by the revolutionists themselves , and also by
foreign residents- Valparaiso , Including
soverul persons who represent largo Ameri
can Interest * here. This version ot Ad
miral Brown's visit to Qulntoro has boon
freely circulated In every part of Chill , and
there is no doubt tlmt it is the chlof cause of
the present 111 fooling toward Americans.
The revolutionary prosi has boon very bitter
in Us attacks upon Admiral Brown and the
charges ure- still being made against him by
Chilians and foreigners that his 'visit to
Qulutoro was In the interest of Bnlmncoda.
Considerable capital Is also being made out
of the fact that 101110 onioiul correspondence
which passed between ono of Bahnucodu's
inlulstors and several other ofllclals In the
government party In the ourly part of
August has boon discovered within the last
few days , In which the minister referred to
Iho fact that ho Is "trying to got a neutral
vo sol" to gut-curtain information for him in
regard to the revolutionists , in the present
ituto of feeling the belief Is general that the
neutral vessel referred to Is the San Fran
cisco ,
So much comment waj made upon the
iuoldont of the trip to Qulntoro that shortly
before tbo Sau Francisco loft here for Callao
Admiral Drown wrote a letter to United
State * Minis tor Epan. In which ho asiorted
that at the tlmo ho loft bore forQulntoro U
was generally known that the troops were
landing thuro ; that ho wout simply to obtain
information for the United States govern
ment , nnd that ho conveyed no Information to
nny one ln Valparaiso. The Chilian press
and the supporters of the present cavern-
luont openly rufuie to accord belief to his
UaUmout. '
Ono of the results of the fooling against
Americans Is shown in the treatment of the
ofllcorsoftho United States ship Baltimore
in Valparaiso. A Marked discrimination
against them Is .shown In matters of social
entertainment on shore.
Evidences of the ill feeling towards Amor-
lea occur constantly , and there i.s little doubt
that foreign rnshlouts In Valparaiso assist In
fanning the tlnmc.i. American Interests In
Chili are not large , nnd , according to the
statements of American roildonls here , they
have received an injury In the last few months
wnich can only servo to make thorn ot still
leas Importance.

SANTIAGO , , bopt , 'M. The feeling
against America , which U general throuuh-
out Chill , found an expression here last
week In a way that led to eonsiderablo
correspondence between United States
Minister E-iiin and the ofllcars of the pro
visional government. Just after thn victory
of the congressional forces a month ago , a
number of Clillllans who had been sup
porters of Dnlmaccdn , recognized the fnct
that their lives wcru In danger , and .sought
refuge at tlio United States legation hero.
Among them were mine of tin1 moil
prominent members of Dalmucuda's partv.
The revolutionary authorities , since they
came Into nower. have used every means to
obtain possession of those refugees. They
llrst demanded their surrender , but Minister
Egan informed them that the United Stales
had never yet refused asylum to a political
rafugco , nnd that ho would not surrender the
men.
men.Tnoy then requested that some Intimation
bo Riven the refugee ? by outsldo sources that
their presence at the location was undo-
slrahlo and was liable to place the legation in
bad repute with thu party in power. Mr.
Egan's reply was that was "Not the Yankee
style of doing things" nnd that ho preferred
to net dlroctlv with the refugees themselves.
Revolutionists wnro sheltered at the Amer
ican legation at a tlmo when they were re
fused asylum by the ministers of other for
eign countries , "particularly by the minister
from Great Britain , nnd vet during the cn-
tlro struggle it was England and English
representatives nnd English residents In
Chill who were regarded , with suflleiont rea
son , us the strongest supporters of the revo
lutionists.
There is llttlo doubt that the primary cause
of the revolution was the fact that the Eng
lish Interests In the nitrate properties in
Iho north of Chill were threatened by Balma-
ccda. Numerous instances were developed
during the war in which valuable assistance
was given the revolutionists by English rep
resentatives In Chill , and It Is also a fnct that
thu English residents of Chill nro now the
strongest in their denunciations of the Amer
icans nnd the misrepresentations of the con
duct of American ofllclals hero. There Is no
doubt , however , that the feeling against
America is not contlnod to the English resi
dents of Chill.
The conservative Chilians state that the
present fooling will not continue nnd that
commercial relations with the United States
will not bo affected after sufltctent tlmo has
claused to allow the present trouble to bo
forgotten. It is dlfllcillt to obtain nn ex
pression of opinion in regard to the matter
troni persons who occupy ofllcial positions in
the present government , though several of
them have expressed a conservative view of
the situation. But among these Chilians
who are most open in their opposition to
America the fcoliug Is very strong.
I'm-Nulii * ; n Policy of Opprsalon. .
The methods of reconstruction-which nro
boim- pursued by the present government in
Chill are hardly in accordance with the
strictust ideas of peace. Between 4,000 and
5,000 persons who were supporters of Balma
coda are now In prison awaiting trial , and
there nro more than 10,000 others , Including
nearly every cno who was known to have
been connected with the late government in
nn ofllcial capacity , whom the present government -
ornmont loaders have announced an Inten
tion to arrest. There Is no Indication , how
ever , that the prosecutions will bo conducted
very vigorously in many cases. It is beltved
that after the general election's the great ma
jority of the prosecutions will be abandoned
and that the affairs of the nation will bo in a
more peaceable condition.
SANIIAOO , Oct. 13. Thuro has been no act
on the part of the provisional government
since it came into power which could In any
way attract the support of these who had
boon the supporters of Balmaceda. The now
government and all those who sympathized
with it have never made any secret of their
Intentions to punish their late opponents.
Arrests and Imprisonments occurred daily
during the law weeks following the close o"f
the war , and the policy of the Duuish-
mont was so openly demonstrated
that , hundreds of persons who had been
acJtivo supporters of the late government
sought refuge on neutral vessels nnd escaped
from the country. Others were forced to
conceal thomseivos , and many of them nro in
hiding still. These persons Include oil ofll-
cors above the grade of lieutenant , and were
In Baltnaooda's company , and also all civil
ofllcors who held their olllccs during the late
war by virtue of appointment from Balmu-
coda or his representatives. There has been
no apparent effort at reconciliation , but the
attitude of the present government lias been
from the first such as to warn all persons
who supported Balmaceda that they were regarded
'
garded as criminals and would bn'punished.
The entire press of the country , o ? nt least
of Santiago and Valparaiso , which rocOntly
sprang into the existence again after under
going n period of suppression by
order of Balmacoda , has heartily sup
ported the now government and
nil the congrcssloimllsts sympathizers
In tholr attitude towards their late oppon
ents. These papers have made every effort
to continue the agitation which has boon In
force in Chill for nearly a year. There has
hardly boon un issue of a Santiago or Val
paraiso paper since the war closed which has
not contained columns of accounts of what Is
termed "on trngcous" crimes" of the mto ad
ministration.
The policy which those who supported the
recent revolution are now carrying out
seemed to commence at the close of the war
In which the victory was won.
Wounded Soldiers .Slaughtered.
There Is no doubt that many of the do-
foaled soldiers of Balmacoda were slaugh
tered in the Hold at Placlllas after they had
boon disabled by wounds. The government
authorities mid the olllcers of the victorious
nrmy disclaim all responsibility for these
actions , as tboy do also for the sucking of tno
houses in Santiago on the day following the
llaal defeat of Ualmaceda ,
It Is dlftlcult to realize the extent of the
destruction which occurred at Santiago. It
was something which could have boon ac
complished only by a mob wild In Its desire
for vcngnauco and plunder. The most mag-
nlllcont residences in Santiago belonging to
Balmacnda's party were entered , and every
thing that they contained was liternllv de
molished. Furniture , paintings , statuary
and tapestries , which represented thousands
of dollars , was destroyed or carried away.
Doors and windows were broken and noth
ing was loft to mark thn work of destruction
but. the bare walls of the buildings , ana they
remain now almost In the bame condition as
they were left by the mob.
Another hardship which the present gov
ernment has mulcted upon its enemies is the
confiscation of the property of persons
charged with having performed criminal
acts under the late administration. There
were a few prosecutions after the close of
thu war , but it Is not believed that any have
occurred recently ; but there are n number of
persons who took n uromlnoni part In Bal-
inaceda's cause who are still at liberty or
have escaped to neutral territory , and against
these persons throats are made openly and
they will doubtless lucolvo llttlo mercy If
they should bo captured , Among this num
ber ate several who are now refugees In the
United States legation in Santiago.
It Is generally beliovud here that several
persona who are now confined hi prison
at Santiago have been Hogged recently.
It was this offense which was committed by
the administration of Bnlmaccda that gave
rise to such great Indignation among the
revolutionists. %
The government has not shown any Inten-
tlou of issuing u safe conduct to tbo refugees
\vuo art ) still lu the location.
Information has been received that thrco
American war vessels have loft Now Vork
for the west coast of South America. U Is
not believed that they will arrive iu Valparaiso
raise uoforo the latter part of November.
Tbo recent arrest of persons leaving the
American legation Is still tbo object , of diplo
matic corroipondonco between Minister Egan
ana the Chilian foreign ofllco ,
KiigllBli Opposition to Rjinn.
SINTIAUU , Chill , Oct. 15. The mail * which
arrived from the north a few days ago
brought a few newspapers up to September
10. Tbo publications contained in thorn with
regard to affairs in Chill , aud particularly
the statement in regard to tha action of Mr.
1'utnelt Eciii , the United States minister
here , have caused many comments among all
clauses of people In Santiago. The members
of tha American colony have exnrcsiea their
opinions on the subject very freely. They
are unable to judge as to what may bo the
real fooling In America in regard to Mr.
Egan , but there is no doubt of the fact that
they nro expressing their Indignation nt
many of Iho statement. * which have found
tliolr way Into the Ami'rlcan press , Among
the Americans In Chill there Is not ono
to bo found who expresses nny sympathy
with thu charges which have lioeu made
ugnlnst Mr. Egan , tbo principal ones of
which scorn to bo that ho opcniv supported
the late President Halnmcoda , tbat ho made
Improper contracts with the late government
In Chill and that ho has Incurred the dis
pleasure of the congressional party to such
an extent tlmt ho Is now In disfavor with the
present provisional government here , nnd
that , accordingly , ho Is about to receive passports -
ports to return homo.
There h.is never boon an Intimation from
nn ofllcial source that Mr. Egnn's ' recall waste
to be asked lor , nor Is there any Indication of
cnch u thing at Iho present time. Mr. Egan ,
as well as nil Americans here , has received a
share of the popular criticism , but this criti
cism has found Its origin mainly In sources
which , owing to feelings of nnmlty , are , from
nn American standpoint , the least worthy of
consideration.
.MlnlstoiKfjnn'H roltuy.
Mr. Egan's policy has been calculated to
advance American interests In Chili which
iilwnys has been comparatively small. The
English interests In Chili exceed these of nny
foreign country , nnd , not only on the ac
count of thu extent of their Interests , but for
other reasons which nro equally plain , the
English residents In Chill were the most
active in their opposition to the American
minister.
Without any attempt at secrecy , Mr. Egnn
ondoavorcd to make arrangements with tbo
Chilian government , which was then repre
sented by President Balmacoda , by which
inducements would bo offered for America
capital to become Interested In the valuable
nitrate property In the northern part of
Chili. This enterprise had hitherto boon and
still is controlled almost exclusively by the
Eugllsh. This was the chief of the "Im
proper conduct" with tbo Balmaceda govern
ment , of which Mr. Egan is accused of mak
ing. Ho Is charged with endeavoring to
make n contract for an .exclusive commerce
In nitrate. Mr. Egau was perfectly aware of
the fact that , In view of the largo English
interests already established In the nilrato
Holds , such a thing was impossible , the most
tbat hu could have obtained , and the
most that ho bad nny intention of ob
taining , was n share of the nltrato business
for any Americans who might care to enlist
in the enterprise. But there was hardly an
Englishman In all Chill who did not regard
thu effort on the part of the American min
ister as n direct menace to English Interests
and there lias hardly boon an Englishman iu
all Chili since tbat time who has not con
tributed his share to the general outcry
ngainst Mr. Egan nnd all Americans. In all of
the efforts which ho made to advance the
interest of the country which bo represented ,
and not these of Great Britain , no mot with
the same opposition nnd the same criticism.
All this occurred before the revolution in
Chill commenced. i
Instructions from " \VashIiiKtnn.
VAi.rAKAibo , Chili , Nov. 12. The
steamer which leaves here for the north
today will take important mall advices
to the state dcunrtment at Washington ,
giving the full facts of tbo attempts which
have been made recently by the provisional
government of Chill to force the United
Stales representative in Santiago to surren
der the refugees wLo sought an asylum in the
American legation and who nro still being
protected there.
Minister Egan has received his instruc
tions by cable from Washington and is now
preparing to carry them out. There is au
thority for tbo statement that these
Instructions ore positive , and that thov
are to the effect that the United Status
will continue to give asylum to the men who
have sought refuge at the legation until u
guaranty is issued by the Chilian authorities
for their rolnoval In safety to some neutral
territory beyond the limits of Chill and , fur
ther , that the United States will not permit
its minister to bo hnrrasscd and annoyed on
account of thu presence of these refugees In
the legation.
Captain Schley of the Baltimore has also
received instructions from the Navy depart
ment in regard to the action ho is to take in
the matter. . t
Warships Needed There.
An ofllcial Intimation is given that thu au
thorities In Washington believe thai the sit
uation demands tbo presence ol n licet of
American men-of-war at Valparaiso for the
purpose of Impressing upon tbo government
of Chili the fact that the United States is
prepared to enforce its demands for proper
treatment.
At this time there is no apprehension that
the ill-feeling ngainst America is subsiding.
Until a week ago this ill-fcoltng found an
expression only In the attacks of the press
and tbo public against , the United States
representatives hrro , but the orders which
wore issued last week to arrest any persons
entering or leaving tbo United States lega
tion in Santiago , indicated that the oftlcials
who represent tbo provisional government in
Chili shared inthogonor.il fooling and wished
to bo relieved ot the responsibility of protect
ing them further , mid also showed n desire to
force the refugees at the legation to make an
attempt to escape.
There is ground for the belief that a similar
plan was resorted to in the case of the
Argentine minister , at whoso house
Balmaceda was sheltered. The claim
is made that ho became alarmed at the
prospect of n mob sacking his house nnd tried
to induce Balmaceda to escape , and tlmt the
latter , knowing that escape for him was im
possible , took bis life rather than subject the
minister to any further responsibility lu giv
ing him an asylum.
Mintator Kgnn.
Minister Egan entered n strong protest
against thn arrests and the order was re
voked after it bad boon in force several days.
Spies , however , are still watching the lega
tion.
tion.Several
Several persons were arrested under this
order , including some servants in Minister
Egan's household and n prom'nent American
citizen residing In Santiago , who bad gene to
the legation to make a friendly call on the
minister. They were role.ised when the au
thorities were sntistiod that they were not
refugees. Mr. Egnn's own son was also ar
rested on the street near the legation , but ho
was not conducted to thn prison. The order
was of course directed ngnlnst the refugees ,
but these who uro now In the legation have
not loft tbo building slnco they llrst entered
It. There Is no doubt that it was also in
tended that tbo order should Impress upon
the refugees u fooling that tboy were causing
Minister Egan much trouble and that it was
their duty to surrender.

on "Tho Solution of the Silver Question. "
At the conclusion of Mr. St. John's paper ho
was loudly applauded.
Mr. John Jay Knox thcu took the lloor ,
and bogging the indulgence of tbo chair , said
that ho fully agreed with Mr. St. John in
some of his remarks. After citing coVtain
facts and giving ligures , ho said that
some time ago n Mexican dollar waste
to bo found in nearly every bank in the
country , but today where were these
coins ? They had boon sent back to Mexico
In payment of geode , being accepted at their
face value , less transportation to Mexico ,
Why was this ? Because the Mexicans hnvo
the advantage of free coinage. VVo have a
dollar which will not bo accepted in Mexico
for its fnco value , and yet this country has a
credit which is unsurpassed by nny in the
world. '
Mr. St. John replied that it was a mistaken
idea to compare the United States with Mexico
ice , because all o ( the latter's products
nearly were beneath the soil , nnd though she
need not coin a cent , nil her gold and silver
would naturally go away from her , wbilo in
the United States all the products wcru
above ground.

Issued n circular today bearing upon the now

says : "This decision was rendered iiudor
date of September 28 , 1801 , and laid down
the following general principle : 'An excur
sion rate Is n reduced rate and enables the
person purchasing it to travel from a given
point to destination and return to the Initial
point tit loss than ho could purchase u ticket
at the ono way rate going an.l repurchase a
ticket at the ono way rate returning. ' It was

Interest of the p.irty with roipect to the ox-

missed. An appeal to the association was
entered by complainant comp.uiy. At the
November mooting of the association thu
appeal was sustained. No appeal to arbltra-
lion having boon taken wlihln the pro
scribed time , Iho determination of the nsso-
cia'.ion becomes llnal and It Is deemed proper
to convoy to the association , after mature
deliberation , tlio ruling with tuspocl to the
status of the spoclliu complaints Involved.
Wo must regard the determination of Iho
association ns having specilio reference to
tbo above principle only. "
The Illinois Central Is moro seriously af
fected than was at llrst supposed by the sus
pension of work nt the coal mines In Indiana
by winch 7,000 minors are now lying Idle ,
This road has had n monopoly In transporta
tion of cial from the mines from Bra/.ll and
other points reached by its Indiana division.
Tbo trouble seems to hlugo on an advance of
10 couts a Ion in Iho rate which Iho manag
ers of Iho road claim was made nec
essary tlirough action of the old board of
equalization In raising thmxssossed value of
their properly from $ s,0 ! > . ) lo $25,000 per mlle
nnd thus Increasing their Uxos about 250
percent. But as soon as the rate was in
creased the minors put in a demand for an
advance on their wages of l-'t'j ' cents u ton
and when It was refused they struck. The
mluo owners promptly shut down nnd tboy
say they will not open until a settlement can
bo reached. Of course this stopped the
shipments , leaving nearly 1,000 employes of
Iho eastern Illinois train crows and track
men with nothing to do. As n conscquonco
they have been laid off. The mini ) oper
ators want the road to restore its old sched
ule of rates , but the president says ho will
not do it. Thu company is losing monuy nt
the rate of 8150,000 u month , but ho will not
consent to haul coal for loss than It would
cost him to keep up the taxes of the road.
The freight committed of the Central Traf
fic association completed its labors today and
adjourned. It decided that the present rule
of the association , which prohibits the con
signing of carload freights to railroads for
distribution among several receivers in order
lo ovndo less Him car" load rales , should bo
extended so that receiving agents should re
fuse lo malco such deliveries except upon
correction of the billing charging tlio re
ceivers the full rate applying lo loss than car
load shipments.
The members of the Western Freight
association today discussed grain rates
from Missouri river points lo Now
Orleans. It is claimed that there is some

have been shipped by the Now Orleans route
In two monlhs to the detriment of tlio direct
eastbound linos. The question of rates to
New Orleans nnd southern points was referred -
forrod to a conference committee.
Advices from the we.U are to the effect
that General Dodge , general manager of the
Rio Grande Western road , admits that his
road will nt once commence building we.it
from Ogden and not stop operations until it
has arrived nt San Francisco. The route Is
now surveyed to the Sierra mountains , taut
no route over ibo range has boon decided
upon , olihough there are three under consid

ing low passenger rules during Iho World's
fair , und nl ihe same lime pruvenllng ihclr
demoralization by scalpers , does not meet
with universal favor. Thu schumo was to
maid ) a round trip rate by adding - , " > per cent
lo the present one way faru and inuxu Ihnonu
way rate to Chicago "A per cent less tbau
Iho regular tariff , with u return ratu 10 pei
cent higher than the fare. Two strong
objections urn urged. Tholirxt Is that it cuts
into the present one way ratu and malcos thu
business of Iho roads that much less profit
able. The second objection is thut the
round trip rate proposed is too high. For
years it bus been thu custom to muku u
round trip rate of ono fare for meetings of
lesser ImiMrtaneo and magnitude than thu
World's fair.
