Hum "Tho controversy thnt has arisen between 1 tho government nnd the western railroads . relatlvo to tho payment of tranpportatlon , nf troops nt party rates will likely result In tho entire abolishment of tho rates In : questlon," stated the general passenger ngent of an Omaha road yesterday: "Party rates have been furnished by tho railroads exclusively to theatrical companies and provide rate of 2'.4 cents per mile for n party of ton nnd 2 cents per mllo for1 a party of twenty. "Tho government nsscrls that It is en titled to rates for transporting soldiers us low ns those given by tho railroads to nuy collection of people. I do not think that tho railroads will submit to tho demands of tho government, as It would mean n loss of considerable money, and tho question has arisen entirely unexpectedly to the rail roads. It was not looked for nnd conse quently Is tho moro surprising. "Tho party rates, howovor, havo not been working t-orfcctly satisfactorily to tho rail roads belonging to tho Western Passenger association and tho statement published in Tho lleo thnt tho Wabash has decided no longer to nbldo by tho rule of tho Western Passenger association relative to party rat"s will undoubtedly result in their abolition. One thing In the operation of tho party iatca lias been especially noticed In St. Paul. Tho party rato from thero to Chicago Is $S.0j, whllo tho regular tariff Is $11,110. Ilrokers liavo taxen advantage or tho rato by plac- Ing tickets on salo to Chicago for $9, and liy securing enough sales to constitute a jinrty havo reaped tho benefit of tho lower rate. This was on Individual business for which tho railroads would havo received normal tariff had It not been for tho party rates," Nriv KukIui on tlmnliii .t- St. I.onlx.

Certain of tho magnates favored the schedules pre sented by Manager Tebcau and President Hlckey and there seemed to bo pronounced opposition to the Rourke schedule, the rea son of which was dltllcult to understand. In tho end, however, after a thorough explanation of his schedule by Manager Rourko and some minor changes It was adopted without dissension nnd tho man agers unanimously agreed that It was a de sirable one In every respect. Tho schedule adopted provides for 110 games for each club, ilfty-llve of which will bo played on tho homo grounds and llfty-llve away from home.
