The Cut in Passenger Rates.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-A conference was held this
afternoon between Vice-cOmmissiOner Pearson
and the representatives of the western connec-
tions of the trunk lines. in regard to the trouble
in through passenger rates from New York to
the Missouri river, without reaching any definite
conclusions.
The Impression prevails tonight that the mat
ter cannot be settled satisfactorily. 1t is
learned that Commissioner Pearson asked the
roads running westward TO withdraw the
payment of rebates and commissions to
all scalpers,t tourists, agents and Others In New
York ana substituted therefor agreed COM
missions to be paid to regular agents.
The ground for this demand was
that under the present system Western
roads Were in effect cutting rates in the Trunk
line territory The Rock Island and Alton roads
refused to come to these terms on
the ground that the trunk lines
are trying to dictate to them and attempting
to overthrow a system which has been in opera
1iOn many years. Mr.. Pearson proposed II The
Western roads would adopt the new plan the
trunk lines would adopt the same as to the sale
OF tickets in the West for the East. Mr.. Pearson
will submit the proposition in writing to-mor-
row.
General Manager Galloway, of the Chicago e
Grand Trunk, has asked Commissioner FINK TO
reduce the tariff on east bound freight, on the
ground that the present rates are not main
tanned.

Extending the Canadian System.

The Canadian government is said to be favor
ably disposed TO assist the construction of a pro.
posed railway through the State of Maine to
connect with the New Brunswick railway sys-
tenn. This is intended to form a part of the
short line by way of Cape Breton island and
Newfoundland. which 1t is claimed will make a
route TO the European continent more than
three days shorter than any other existing route
by rail and water. The accomplishment of this
aim would, of c0drse, require the completion of
the Cape Breton and Newfoundland sections,
which are not progressing very rapidly.

Tripartite Arreement Meeting.

AAH ACOAAA5s
An Omaha special of the 9th says: The meet
ing OF the railway officials interested in the new
lripartite alliance was held in this city to-day.
when the meeting was organized it was found
ahateight roads were represented. The gentle
1nenspresent were: Messrs. Cable, WitherOw,
SageSGower and Hoffman, of the Rock Island;
Hnghitt. and Wicker, of the Northwestern; Mer-
Till, Clark and Bird, of the Milwaukee & St..
FFaul; Clarke and winters, of the Minneapolis &
Omaha; Hayes, Odds and Blodgett, OF the Wa
HRsh and Missouri Pacific; s. II. H. Clark and
Shelby, of the Union Pacific, and Hall, OF the
Sioux City and Pacific.
Il was learned that the preliminaries have
sbeen ARRANGED for the admission OF the North
western, Missouri Pacific and Wabash, with their
branches and leased lines, into the new alliance,
and that the compact will be signed tomorrow.
F''This," said the gentleman alluded to, "cOm-

Mr.. Odds, Of the Missouri Pacific system, said
heswas not entirely posted as to the details of
tbe compact, but he thought it safe 30 say that
the Union Pacific, Northwestern, Rock Island,
milwaukee, & ST. Paul and Wabash systems
would all join hands and arrive at an amicable
understanding.
Another official said: "The result of to-day's
business fixes the Burlington, so far as through
business originating east of the Missouri is con-
cerned. 1t must pay ite percentage or fight the
combined alliance, and it is ten to one there will
be no fight. so much for one point. What the
Union Pacific and Burlington will do is another
lining. They must settle 1t between Them"
