The action taken by the Baltimore
and Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad
Companies in raising the rates Of fare
from New York to St. Louis and Chi
cago was abandoned on account Of the
opposition to the measure on the part
OF the railroads running out Of the
latter city, such as the Illinois Central,
Chicago and ton, Michigan South
ern and Michigan Central, which have
no southwestern lines to St. Louis nor
connections with any line leading there.
The reason for this opposition lies in
the fact that had they agreed to the
rates proposed, they would have virtu-
ally handed over their business TO those
companies and their connections. The
difference between the rates to New
York from St. Louis and Chicago has
heretofore always been from s. to s..
Under the proposed rate Of $40 from
st. Louis to New York, a person
desiring to 90 from St. Louis to Chica-
go could buy a through ticket to New
York and 90 as far as Chicago only,
and there sell the remainder of his
ticket for less than the regular rates,
thus throwing large profit into the
hands Of the ticket scalpers at the ex-
pense Of the railroads. Matters, there
fore, remain exactly as they were be-
fore in regard to fares, and it is thought
that no further change viii be made
until a general permanent arrangement
Is effected.

peace news floating around here regarding
the Cuban question is good deal of war
talk that seems to have more basis than
mere guess. From highly reliable sources
it is positively known that during Saturday
last information of very grave nature
was received from Cuba and Spain by resi-
dent Spaniards here. They wore ominous
counteDances, and, although very reticent
as to particulars. went so far as TO intimate
that the situation was redolent with deep
seated apprehensions concerning the turn
Cuban affairs are taking. 1t was also made
known that in consequence Of the serious
turn of the tide sundry orders from Cuba
to shippers in the United States had beer
countermanded by telegraph, merchants
seeing the need of q cautious commercial
policy.

will next be rendered.
