BALTIMORE, March S.-No change has oc-
cured in this city in the situation OF the railroad wa:
since last Friday, each road still adherng to the torf
of passenger rates which prevailed In the evening "
that day. The advantages claimed by the respective
companies are these:
The Pennsylvania Company ia now undertaking the
Baltimore and Ohio tickets Western points from 10
to SO per cent but its tickets good for passage
only from the time Of purchase. The Baltimore
and Ohio while charging more, gives tickets that
unlimited IN time. Late on Saturday even
ing the Pennsylvania agents caused 1900
posters to be distributed throughout the country, and
on Sunday morning the officials of the Baltimore and
Ohio were sauted on their way to church With Aardg
pacaris hung at every accessible containing In
conspicuous type, such sentences: q" The Pennsylvania
Railroad sweeps the field at the following

tories Solution OF the problem Of cheap transpora-
tion" The Baltimore and ONO Immediately responded
to this challenge with even larger and more namns
masters and buetined all available points not already
occupied by its rival

start to morrow with several mombers OF his fanny,

issues, aud arguments which have been OF avail for
