WESTERN PASSENGER RATES.
How the Chicago Scslpers Got Ahead
OF the Manaeels.

CHICAGO, February l2.-Recently the
trunk lines agreed to return to old rates
between Chicago and the eastern points
and the tickets from here to New York
were raised from the cut fare Of S9.25 TO
ST. The change could not take effect at
once because the roads could not immedi-
ately reach all their agents. 1t was. there.
fore, agreed that the newly established
rates should not be enforced against dis.
tant agents until February is, but in Chi.
cago the limit was fixed for Monday, Feb
ruary6. !,
The scalpers saw their opportunity and
sent TO the agents in western cities and
bought up hundreds of tickets dated ahead,
which they can now sell at greatly reduced
rates During the past week the roads to
the East have been carrying passengers
virtually at the old rates and will have to
do so for some time to come, at least un-
til the scalpers have exhausted their sup
ply of tickets.
The immense success OF the trick has
alarmed the managers OF the trunk lines
and they caused letter to he drawn up by
passenger agents, in which it Is announced
that the established rates must take effect
at once, and on and after Sunday, February
~, no tickets can be bought OF agents any
where for less than regular prices.

what Attorney Reed Says About Him.
WASHINGTON, February 12.-At the re-
quest Of Guiteau, Mr. Charles II. Reed, his
attorney, visited the Jail yesterday and had
an interview interview with the con-
demned assassin. He found that Guiteau,
instead OF breaking down as has been stated,
is gaining flesh. SHOULD he be confined
by himself for thirty days, however," said
Mr.. Reed, che would become an imbecile.
He 'sHoSed '1Hr Reed his new suit OF
clothes, whereupon he was asked why he
had bought them for he would have no
chance to wear them out. 20, / shall live
to wear a hundred suits out, SAID Guiteau,
confidently. When asked if he was
not frightened about hisexecution, he said,
"Why should I?' Mr.. Reed said that he
would if he was in Guiteau's place. You
do not stand as well with the Lord as L
do" GHiteau replied quickly. He further
showed Mr.. Reed $40 or $50, which he had
collected from the sale of pictures and au-
tographs, and offered to pay hack hire
every time Reed wanted to go out to the
Jail.
''Do you think he will break down at
last?'
81 don't know as TO that; but do know
that if he was to be hung at II o'clock to-
morrow, and he knew thVt 10000 people
would be present, he would ascend the scaf,
