The Probable Rate War.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-The indications
for a war in rates between the western
roads in reference to the carrying of pas
sengers to Denver are growing ripper every
day. The Burlington & Quincy road is
not inclined to move in the matter at
present, but seems disposed to hold still
until it shall discover just how big a war
is proposed, after which it will be com
PEELED to meet the rates. This is about
the situation of the other interested
roads, all of whom are quietly standing
off and watching the situation to see
what the developments may be. The
authorities of the st. Paul road have
been notified of the action of the Rock
Island, but as yet have made no re-
Spouse, 1t is barely possible hat addi-
tional action may be taken by the st.
Paul, resulting in making a still lower
rate. This is expected, when the situa-
ton at indianapolis is concerned, rates at
that point having been made so low as to
offer great inducements to leave Chicago
out of the line of travel from eastern
points. Should a still lower rate be made
within a few days, it is possible that
something may be done to affect rates
other than those comprehended in the
encampment excursion, and there is a
probability that such a thing as a general
war to western points may be inaugural.

step. There seems to be no disposition

A New PACING Road.

1t does look as though the only way for
the Union Pacific railroad to command
traffic on its line is to extend its road to
the Pacific tide water. With the COM
pletion of the new Chicago, Burlington
Il Quincy line to Salt Lake via the DEN
yer & Rio Grande and Burlington Il Mis-
souri, roads, the Central Pacific has five
outlets to the east and is sending reights
by MI of them, preference being given to
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy where
the shipper fails to specify any particular
route. The Union Pacific, on the con-
trary, has only one way Of reaching the
coast, and must hand over its freight to
thek central Pacific at Ogden whether it
wants to or not. At present, with rivals
springing up IN all sides, it is at the mer-
cy of the Central 30 far as through bust
ness is concerned, and it is not probable
that such vigorous, aggressive men as
now hold the helm will be liable to re-
main in such an embarrassing position.
At all events, there is Emusic in the air."
and the present summer bids fair to bring
some big moves in the railroad business.
Some railroad men claim that all this
only means a big game of bluff on the part
of the Union Pacific to bring the Central
to terms, but the general opinion is that
the management mea business and will
put the road through Eureka Sentinel.

He believed she would not survive him
ten days. He declared he was innocent.
George johnson, leader of the gang, said

fatal shot at Conductor Gains. Jimmy
said if he committed the crime he did
not know it. George johnson lazily
smoked a cigar on the scatfold as
the sheriff read the warrant. Addressing
the crowd, johnson said, Il have nc

told before is the truth" He wanted
all young men to read the letter from

pie and it affords a few of the strong
contrasts between palaces and novels, gay
venues and squalid districts, elegant
turnouts and ragged crowds such as one
finds in every other city. This is, of
course, because it is a part of New York
an incomplete, imperfect city in itself,
dependent on its bigger section, from
which it has been cut off and set apart
until Roebling's steel cable cemented it
to Manhattan island.
RESERVOIR FOR NEW YORK.
Heretofore New York has been unique
among the great cities of the world. The
~unthoughful ones among its visitors must
have marveled at observing mile upon
mile and avenue after venue devoted to
trade, and scores upon scores of conspicu-
Gus structures set apart for music, the
drama, the arts, the sciences and for sim
pie relaxation and amusement. They
must have wondered where were the
homes that supplied the people to patro-
nize and to make possible SO many and
such vast establishments. Not even in
Paris do the pleasure palaces and the
great bazars depend to any very great
extent upon strangers. The people of
the cities everywhere must fur
nish the lions share of the
support their Injuries and con-
veniences rely upon. 1t is, therefore,
only when we take Brooklyn into account
that we understand the full secret of New
York's varied and attractive features of
the sorts referred to. They draw upon
Brooklyn, which is bigger than Boston,
without Boston's trading and amusement
places. Brooklyn women buy thread and
needles at home, but come to New York
fo + their dresses. Brooklyn men get
their cigars and newspapers close at hand,
but every time they spend $50 they
spend it in New York. Probably so, 900
Brooklyn homes are supplied with meat
and provisions from the the big New York
markets. In short, a full third of the peo-
pie of New York have been taking
elbow room across the east river and
have set up their own municipal system
of government there, having their
houses, parks and churches, but getting
their living and drawing their supplies
from New York. Fulton street, the
main artery of Brooklyn, and the Full
ton ferry boats, plying between that
thoroughfare and Fulton street in New
York, were the principal means of com
munication between the two cities. The
big bridge was, therefore, built to tap
Fulton street, Brooklyn, just above the
ferry, and to land its passengers oppo.
site the city hall, in New York, by fMl

Broadway is but a short block off, tn,
Third avenue extension and Nassau street
