ANNOUNCE IMPORTANT EDICT Bailrond Men Bay that Free Transportation Must Be Abolished. NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO SHOW A PASS Kxcrntlrc Olllcrm Hnrc Declared In I'nvor of It * Alinllnlinicnt Wcnt- ern Mitt * Will Decide the llucdtloii Next Month. The railroad pasa must go. Thla Is the edict which has been promulgated by the executive ofllccia of a majority of railroads operating In the United States. Even rail road men , who have always enjoyed the tlmo-honorcd privilege of traveling on a pass , will have to pay faro when he rldea over any other Mad than the ono on which ho la an employe. The Influential shipper , the politician and everybody clw Is to bo barred from riding on free tickets. In fact , the order will bo ao sweeping that even the Income of the printers , who have for many years annually printed Immense numbers of passes , will bo seriously Impaired. The railroads , on the other haud , will enjoy euch a marked Increase In revenue that their earnings will bo swelled by many millions of dollars , A committee , representing elx of the largest railroad systems In the west , has teen at work on this proposition for the past nix months. They have canvassed the field thoroughly. To the executive officers of every railroad In the United States this committee sent a letter of Inquiry early In Juno asking from them their opinion on the abolishment of free transportation , Of 200- 000 mllea of road lu the United Statea , 120- 000 were voted In favor of the proposition. Managers of the other SO.OOO have cither not replied or remained non-committal , BO that the proposition practically moots with the unanimous approval of railroad men every- where. The committee which has had this matter In charge was composed of Vice President Earllng of the Milwaukee , Vice President Morton of the Santa Fo , President Burt of the Union Pacific , Vice President Harahan of the Illinois Central , Vice President Ram- Boy of the Wabash and Vice President John son of the Rock Island. It held a meeting Jn Chicago this week and Its action was taken In accordance with the expressed preference of the railroad corporations who are vitally Interested In the matter and whoso Intention to nholleh the railroad pass Is ono of the most radical and sweeping measures over decided upon. The commit tee haw made a recommendation favoring the entire abolishment of free transportation , which will bo submitted to a general meet ing of the executive ofllcers of all railroads west of Chicago , to bo held In St. Louis October 10. From the expression of opinion received from the railroad managers It is possible that nt this St. Louis meeting the recom mendation of the committee will be adopted nnd the railroad pasa will then be a thing of the past. In some quarters , however , doubt Is entertained as to whether the rail road managers will agree to this plan after they have given It further deliberation. It may bo more of a dllBcult matter than Is anticipated to do away -with the old-estab lished custom of Issuing parses to these who ore considered worthy to receive them. It will bo remembered that the question was considered by officers of western roads at a meeting held In St. Louis last year. It was considered by many to bo a wise course to pursue the abolishment of the pass but no action In this direction was taken , further than the establishment of bureaus at differ ent points to restrict the Issuance of frco transportation. Such a bureau Is located In Omaha , and so far aa known Its operation has been very eatlsfactory. GOSSIP OF UuT H.VH.IIOAD DEALS. Great Combination for TTTO Trans continental I.lnen. NEW YORK , Sept. 21. The Journal nnd Advertiser says : Whllo the death of Cor nelius Vanderbllt may temporarily delay the consummation of the big Vanderbllt deal for a transcontinental line. It Is not believed that railway nnd financial circles will much longer be kept In the dark concerning these plans. The entrance of William Rockefeller Into the directory of the Now York Central , which was made- possible by the death of Mr. Vanderbllt , It Is believed , will further the deal. From reports now current the projected combination In many cases may be elmply In the way of traffic agreements and contracts and will by no means be composed exclusively of Vandorbllt properties. At the present time the deal , which Is moro comprehensive than any heretofore brought about In American railway prop ortion , representing nearly a billion In cap ital stock , includes Huntlngton , Rockefeller and Vanderbllt roads. Not only will there bo a through mid-continent line from New York to Puget sound , but there will also be a southern transcontinental line. The Chicago & Alton will figure In the deal ns ft counectlng link between the Now York Central-Lake Shore at Chicago and the Mis souri , Kaunas & Texas at St. Louis and Kansat City. The Southern Pacific will be reached by the Missouri , Kansas & Texas , Klvlni a through line to southern California , which In a much nearer point to the Philip pines for shipping than any port on Puget' ' eound. Mr. Rockefeller , ns a director In the Now Haven road and an Important factor In the noston & Albany , will throw to the New York Central the cont'rol of the Now Eng land roads. Ho In also an Important factor with the Vandorbllts In the- Chicago & Northwestern - western and Union Pacific , which will be combined for the most direct transcontinental line , practically under ono management. This will be the northern arm of a gigantic rail way system which will Include the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Railway & Navi gation , which have , In fact , been already taken oTor by the Union Pacific. Mr. Rockefeller controls the Missouri , Kansas & Texas and Is largely Interested In the Chicago ft Alton. 1JI.UFF MNIS AMI PEOltlA TO OO. Another Snln of the llnnilM Ordered Hurly In Senlcnilicr. SPRINOEFIELD , 111. , Sept. 21 , The St. Louis. Chicago & St. Paul ( Bluff line ) and the Chicago , Peorla & St. Louis railroads nro to be sold again. Judge Allen In United States circuit court this afternoon entered a dccrro for the sale of both railroads under the foreclosure of mortgages by the Mercantile Trust company of New York , trustee of the first mortgage bondholders. The first mortgages are for $1,592,000 on the Chicago , Peorla & St. Louis nnd $1,600,000 on the St. Louis , Chicago & Bt. Paul , The second mortgages on the Chicago cage , Peorla & St. Louts amount to $2,200,000 nnd on the St. Louts , Chicago & St. Paul $1,285,000. The roads will probably be sold the first week In Novwrnbcr. They have defaulted In terest alnco 1807. BOTTOM NOW UI.OSU IN SIC511T. I.imt KciliieHoit of IlurlliiKton I.t-iivr * Mi'iiiilil Only One Out In MnUe. Following out Its established policy the Burlington has made another reduction In ratou on southeastern packing house ship- mentfl , to become curative September 22. The rate will bo lowered to 2 cents on shipments from Omaha to the Ohio river and G cents to Memphis. This gives Omaha n 3-oent differential over Kansas City ac cording to the present tariff of the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Memphis , which be came effective- today , although It Is expected that the Memphis will wipe out Us rate en tirely from Kansas City to Memphis as a last move. Then , the Burlington will redues Its rate 3 cents and the 3-oent differential yivlll become effective. When this la done mil road men profess to bo tmtlroly In the dark an to future movements of the two roads. It la admitted that the rates cannot bo kept at iirch a point for a great whIVe , nnd the road which first cries "Hold I Enough ! " will bo the loser In the bitter contest which has developed Into one of ths moat famous In the history of western rate wars. That the Burlington will win out In the fight Is the prophecy made by many be- cauoo of Its aggressive determination man ifested from the beginning. Railroaders nro now worrying over the prospect of the rates ever caching the point held before the fight began. Alton Filed Illff MnrtRntcc. SPRINGFIELD , 111. , Sept. 21.

A novel defense Is set up by the man agement of the Moorish Palace in a case In which they are sued by J. J. Hanlghen , plumbing contractor. The case was heard by Justice Foster and Is a suit over a dis puted account. Attorney Strlcklor , for the defendants , resisted the attempt to collect a bill on the grounds that the Master Plumbers' association Is a trust and , ac cording to the statute passed In 1897 , its mombera cannot collect money due them , such being the provision of that statute. The reply of the plaintiff to this Is that the association Is not a trust , but a trade union , and that If It is a trust the statute is unconstitutional. During the progress of the trial It was developed that the plumbing cost $56 when it waa put In now , and the bill for repairs necessitated by a freezo-up last winter amounted ) to $97 , Mortnlltr Stntlntlcn.
