It is not by any means certain yet that the
troubles regarding the Western passenger busl-
ness arc nil over. The roads lately at wax with
each other arc not hv any means satisfied with
tho arrangement made by the Presidents at
their New York meeting. The principal cause
Of complaint is the manner in which the re-
demption OF outstanding tickets has been dis
posed OF. No official account Of the agreement
made by the Presidents has yet been received,
but from what has been learned from unofficial
sources, the arrangement regarding outstand-
ing tickets is that they can be exchanged Tor
tickets over any Of the Southwestern llnes- and
that the road making the exchange should iose
rs per cent Of the difference between the rates
at which the tickets have been sold and the reg
ular rate, and the road which has issued the
| ticket should lose Is per cent The Wabash, it
| is claimed, has issued between three and four
hundred thousand dollars worth Of these tick
ets, OF which about two hundred thousand dol

very light punishment when it IS 1 takeu M into
