Rates During the Centennial Season.

LOUISVILLE, February "a Conven-
ton of the general railroad ticket agents
of America, has begun its session here,
having been called together to adopt rates
to be charged during the centennial sea
son. Nearly all OF the principal roads of
America are represented. Nothing def
mite has been transacted but it is thought
a reduction OFFS per cent from the regu.
lar rates will be made.
To-day's session OF the General Rail.
road Ticket Agents Convention was de-
voted chiefly to the consideration of the
report of the Committee on Centenn NAL
Rates. In the morning, Mr.. w. B.
Shattuck, general ticket and passenger
agent of the A. II G.. w, Railroad, deliv-
cred an address on the Centennial and
the railroads. In the afternoon
the Convention considered the report of
the Committee on Centennial Rates.
This committee recommended that
the basis of the rates for the Centennial
Exposition be us follows:
Fifst-Round trip tickets to New
York; good for thirty days, may be sold
from Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Crest
lin, Columbus, Cincinnati and points
west thereof, and in the territory east OF
Omaha and at competitive points south
of the Ohio river, at a reduction OF
twenty-five per cent from convention
rates.
Soc0nd-Roundtr trip tickets to Philadel.
phla, good for 30 days, may be sold from
Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati and points west thereof in the
territory east of Omaha and at competi-
tive points south of the Ohio river, at one
doller less than round trip rates to Now
York.
Third-Round trip tickets to Philadel-
phla via New York, for 30 days, may be
sold from Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland,
Crestline, Columbus, Cincinnati and
points west thereof in territory east of
Omaha and at competition points South
Of the Ohio river at 81 90 more than
round trip rates to New York. A fourth
from the territory east of Detroit, Toledo,
Cleveland, Crestline, Columbus and
Cincinnati The basis of re-
duced rates and limit for
round trip tickets shall be fixed by the
trunk lines, and from competing points,
between the trunk lines in said teri ltory.
the rates to Philadelphia via New York,
shall be 81 90 more than the rates to
Philadelphia by the direct or short lines
The Convention adjourned after dis
cussion, and the report will probably be
adopted tomorrow.

1t is always pleasant to be able to
speculate upon probable speedy re-
vival of trade, aud spec, lily peasant Is
it when these spcculatlons may be in
dulged in on rrIso' -:'le aud plausible
grounds. For this reason we reproduce
the following article from the Cincn-
natl Trade List, paper whose sole bus
mess it is to look after and keep up with
the business situation, and whose re
marks, therefore, may be accepted as
worthy of credence. Under the caption
above, that paper says:
"There seems to be an impression that
there Is.to be generl revival of busi-
ness in the near futrre. Although few
look for great revival. the feeling is
general that there Is to he a steady i'm
provement for the better. That the peo-
ple generally are examining their affairs,
and giving their earnest attention to learn
how TO DO business IL well as live within
their means and to avoid driving ahead
or ..luck" IN the future, as too many have
done in the. pat, Is considered as
one OF the bcsl signs OF the
times. Appointment dry goods merchant
of keen observation and long experience,
who has been interrogated by the Boston
GloJe. saws: "Let business alone; it will
revive if every one who has work to do
will do it and mind his own business"
He WAS aware, of course, that there had
been, and, in fact, is still, stagnation IN
business, and the principal cause OF this
was the ilegitimate method ofconducting
business, by too many nowadays, both
public and private. Talk about failures,
he said, "why show me one of any amount
in the dry goods trade. There have
been fewer failures in the dry goods trade
the last year than for twenty-five years
back. The dry goods business, he de.
clares, and probably with truth, was
never on a better basis than during last
year, and it never was on a better basis
than it is to day, for prices have touched
the bottom and were never safer. He
thought the Centennial would bring
trade from abroad. The tide of travel
now will be this way, and not to Europe,
and, of course, ii the Europeans come
here they will leave soma money!

The correspondence includes letter
from Lord Odo Russell, the British Min
ister at Berlin, reporting that Prince
Bismarck had mentioned the pur-
chase in terms of high appreciation
and approval. The letter of the
British agent at Cairo shows that
the Khedive offered TO sell England the
right to fifteen per cent of the net reve-
nae of the canal, 10 which he was eati-
tied after the earnings OF the canal ex-1
ceeded certain sum. The X hedive is
recommended to purchase, as giving him
additional control over the canal. ~ The
Earl of Derby refused and said that Eng
land would regard as inconsistent with
the integrity of the Ottoman Empire any
act by which the Khedive dispossessed
himself of control over the canal.

CENTENNIAL APPROPRIATION BILL,

By American Press Association to the STAR.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.--Mr. Hopkins
gave notice in the House yesterday af-
ternoon that he would try to reach a
vote ON the Centennial Bill by 2 O'Clock
to-day. The death of Vice President
Wilson will, however, be announced in
the Senate, and if resolutions are taken
in the House early it may prevent the
proposed action op the Centennial Bill.
If vote is called at the hour indicated
number of gentlemen who have ex-
pressed a desire to speak will he de-
priyed of the privilege of doing so. The
prospect is that the bill will pass, but it
must be confessed that the friends of the
measure are not altogether sanguine OF
success. Much more has been deyel.
oped against it than was expected. The
opposition comes principally from the
reconstructed State rights school of
Democrats. II, on account Of the Will
son obsequies, a vote cannot be reached
to-day, the probabilities are that there
will be a session on Saturday to COM
plete the matter.
In response to resolution of the
House, the Secretary OF the Treasury
