The Railroad war.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The railroad war
collapsed very suddenly to-day, in con-
sequence OF an agreement reached by the
presidents in New York. The rates are
TO be restored at once on all the CON-
peting lines. and the tickets now out are
to be received in exchange for tickets on
any line the holders may select In the
southwest. This will prevent either
| road reaping any great benefit from the
contest, for the roads which have lssueo
large quantities OF unlimited tickets
must redeem them, even if these tickets
are taken up by any other competing
road.
NEW YORK. Oct. 22.-The managers
of the railroads in the west and south
| that have been cutting the rates so ex.
tensively, met to-day and agreed on the
settlement of the passenger war rates.
This settlement saddles on the other
! railroad at 75 per cent. of the loss TO be
sustained from the recent sales of un-
limited tickets at less than one-third of
the usual price.

ment was made that General Hancock

What the New York Herald Says.
NEW YORK, Oct 26.-The Herald
says this morning, of the Chinese letter
forgery, that the public will accept Gen.
eral Garfield's denial as final and conclu.
sive upon the matter, but will also hold
the Democratic managers to their re-
sponslbility for what now appears to be
a very contemplate forgery. Public
opinion will hold, and justly hold, that
men like Mr.. Hewitt, Speaker Bandall,
and others, owe it 10 their char acter, and
to the common decencies of life, to be
somewhat slower in bearing witness,
and good deal more careful than they
have been before allowing themselves,
for partisan ends, to become partners in
gross fraud upon the public.

by the Hor s. B. Crittenden, of Brook
Ign, to offer reward of 5000 for evil
dence that shall lead to the arrest and
conviction of the forger who concocted
the so-called Chinese letter, and wrote
General Garfield's name to it. Mr..

monstrous crime. 1t is believed that
clues to the forgery have been found
within sight of the city hall.
