Restored.


NEW YORK, August 6. The railroad
war concerning rates of passage for
immigrants, which opened in March
last, has Just been closed The COM
batants were the New York Central
and the Hudson River, Erie and Penn
sylyania railroads. Recently the rail-
road agents took measures toward
reconciliation, and after considerable
discussion it was resolved to restore
the old rates, which have not been in
operation since March 28th. This In
creases the immigrant fare to the
West more than ten per cent. and to
some points more than fifteen per
cent. The contest among the steam
ship companies still continue.

Beecher Tiltsn - DR.. stOrrs Inter.
viewed.
NEW YORK, August e.--The Tribune
to-day publishes an interview with
DIR. Storrs relative to the Beecher-
Tilton matter. DR.. Storrs says Tilton
came to him about q week after the
publication Of the Woodruff paper,
and thought some statement neces-
sary, and wanted advice. He read the
article, and Tilton's second call sug-
gested four points to be denied: First,
criminal relations Of Beecher and
Mrs. Tilton; second, Tilton's discov-
cry of them; third, that Beecher re-
ceived q paper from Mrs. Tilton deny
ing that such relations existed; fourth,
that Mr.. Moulton obtained that paper
from Beecher. Tilton said: "SuppOse
replied: "Then the alternatives are
Lutte silence. Evasion in q public
statement would keep the scandal
alive" He (Storrs) declined to give
further advice. Tilton then came
again with J. F. B. Carpenter and
showed him letter in the handwrit-
Ing Of Mrs. Tilton. 1t began, he be-
lieved: Son certain day in the Sum-
mer, informed my husband that Mr..
Beecher had asked me to become a
wife to him." etc. "Mr. Tilton also
laid before me and read many other
documents bearing on the case. With
the exception of the above, none of
the original letters were shown me.
Tilton did not seem actuated by a
feeling Of revenge, but merely wished
my advice, after became acquainted
with the facts. He spoke with no Bit
terness Of Beecher, and used no vio-
lent language, and seemed sad and
depressed. Perhaps his appearance
was deceptive, but such seemed to be
his mood" Mrs. Tilton told him (Dr.
Storrs) year after, how the letter
was written by her, and that 1t was
utterly false and unfounded DR..
Stoors spoke feelingly of the long
friendship between him and Beecher,
and expressed q strong hope that
Beecher would be shown blameless.
Beecher VI. Tilton.
New YORK, August Tt Is thought
that Beecher will testify, or submit a
statement, next Monday. Probably
the committee will not make their re-
port before Autumn, but wait for wit
nesses to return from the springs and
the watering places.
