NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

NEW YORK, December 30.-At meeting
Of the Cheap Transportation Association
to-day report was made against the ex-
IRENE low rates on New York railroads and
in favor of uniformity 10 charges that will
pay liberal interest on investments. ,Spe-
cial contracts are also deemed no protection
to New York commerce and premium to
other distributing points to divert traffic.
Rates between twenty-five and fifty, on
both east and west bound freights, are re.
commended az the judgment of the most
eminent railroad engineers as being calcu.
lated to prevent many cars being sent back
West empty. An argument is advanced
against special rates to favorite shippers I'm.
der regularly published tariffs. Report
adopted.
A meeting Of railroad representatives in
relation to the regulation of the rates on
freight between West and East was held to-
day at the Grand Central del0t. The Erie,
Pennsylvania, New York Central, Michigan
Southern, Michigan Central, the Boston and
Albany, and other roads were represented.
Various propositions looking towards an in
crease of freight rates between Boston, New
York, and Chicago from the present unusu-
ally low rates ruling between those points
were discussed, but no definite conclusion
was arrived at. A recess was taken, when
the representatives of the various roads met
at the Brevort House and resolved TO in-
crease the rates to the old basis of seventy
five cents per hundred to Chicago. A meet
ing Of all the roads will be held shortly to
ratify this action. n&

Drafts and Cheeks OF National Banks.

Drafts and Checks OF National Banks.
WAsHINGroN, December 30.-In view Of
the labor and hazard incurred by the Trea-
surer of the United States and other indie
pendent treasury officers by the receipt and
collection of drafts and checks received by
them from National banks, public officers,
and other parties having payments to make
into the treasury, the Secretary has advised
these officers that he thinks it better they
should receive, in all transactions, only the
lawful and proper moneys of the United
States as provided by law and the regula-
tions hereunder.
This will prevent national banks from
paying their seui-annual duties, banks and
other parties from paying for fractional cur
rency, and collectors OF internal revenue
from making deposits in the offices men
toned by means of drafts and checks, thus
doing away with practice which seems to
have crept into Government transactions
without any special authority Of law or reg.
ua.ions, and which has become bur den TO
the officers who voluntarily undertook to
collect for parties the checks and drafts
transmitted for the purpose Of making the
payments mentioned.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, December 3o.-An
