EAsT-BOUND RATES.
Rates All Glasses of East-Bound Business
To BE Restored.

NEW York, Jan. l0-The joint executive com
mittee of the freight department met to-day at
Commissioner Fnks Office for the purpose of
considering the causes leading to the non main
tenance of rates. and adopting measures to pre-
vent cutting in the future. At the close of the
meeting Mr. Fink announced that the delibera-
tons of the committee had been harmonious and
pledges to maintain established rates had been
given anew. The committee agreed that, taking
effect Jan. A. eastbound rates should be
restored to the tariff Of Nov. &C. 1888
as follows: Chicago 10 New York
seventh class. 80 cents per hundred pounds
eighth class 30 cents per hundred pounds; ninth
class. 40 cents per hundred pounds; live hogs to
New York and Boston, % cents per hundred
pounds, In order to meet the last reduction of
rates by the Chicago & Alton and the Chicago &
Rock Island roads, the trunk lines have prepared
rebate tickets, which will enable them to make
rs low rates as necessary from New York to the
Missouri river and points beyond, without disar-
rangement of their local business.
The above telegram will give general salts
faction to both freight men and shippers as I'M
der the reduced rates Of a few days past moth
ing has been done, shippers not daring to make
contracts one day ahead lest rates would be ad
vanced before they could fill such contracts.

petitOrs.
So much has the Lackawanna line had to do
with the demoralizing Of rates the last few
months that the defense of President Sloan will
be read with interest He says that the Lacka-
wanna, outside Of its contracts made some time
ago at reduced rates, has acted and is acting in
good faith, and is keeping its pool agreement
Perhaps. if the truth were known, it would APP
pear that Lackawanna was keeping its pledges
better than some of the other roads. We pro
pose to carry out all our contracts as made The
fact of the matter is that there is something rad
ically wrong at the bottom of this difficulty.
Our position is analogous to that of Burlington
e. Quincy in the West
The whole question reduces itself to an in
qlIiry whether people are going to put millions
into railroad, then be compelled to join pool
and take whatever may be assigned them in the
way of business. no matter if the percentage al
lotted is equitable unjust. If this plan of
procedure is to be continued, the result viii be
interference by Legislation and the appointment
of national railroad commissions. We do not
propose to submit to injustice, and, if we are
forced to do so. will endeavor to maintain our
rights and maintain the ground we have taken"

where the jury gave verdict of So 648 sc against
the Erie & Pacific Dispatch, in a suit brought by
Cecil & Co for 10 cents hundred pounds rebate
on freight charges upon several million bushels
of grain shipped by plaintiffs over defendants
line. The claim made was that the schedule
rate in the pool was 30 cents hundred pounds,
but in order to get the business the agent of the
Erie Dispatch agreed to allow a rebate of 10
cents. Now the Erie & Pacific Dispatch
people taking steps to appeal the case
to the Supreme Court Their defense is that
the contract in which rebates were promised was
made by f. A. Schrader, traffic manager of the
Illinois Midland road, without the knowledge of
the E. & p. d. management. They carried the
property on way bills showing full rates, and did
not, until some months after, know that Cecil
& Co. were promised a rebate, therefore
they are not parties to the contract
In a case exactly similar Fl. w. Gays, assistant
general freight agent of the Decline, promised
Grier Brothers rebates on certain shipments
The White line, which carried the grain on full
rates was some weeks after asked to pay said
rebates, which amounted to some So, 900. The

AMUSEMENT REVIEW.

7 ENGLIsHs oPERA-HoUsE - "sEVEN-TwENTY-
EIGHT
An entertaining comedy, excellently acted by
a carefully selected company. was the verdict of
those who saw the first presentation of ''Seven-
Twenty Eight at English's last night. The play
is an adaptation from the German and is comedy
pure and simple, with commendable absence of
burlesque or any suggestion of impropriety. The
story is basel on the troubles and perplexties of
a gentleman of advanced years, who is per-
suaded 2, by his wife and mercenary
friend that he is destined to become
famous in the world of letters, and
he becomes an author with most amusing re-
suits. The plot more properly has to do with
the efforts of English nobleman- to find the
original of a painting of beautiful young girl
and her pet dog, and her ambitious mother
thinks he can have no other object i'll view than
matrimony while i'll reality his only desire is
to buy the dog. Incidentally to the development
of the story are introduced several very original
characters who find plenty to do in the numer-
GUS complications that arise. The situations of
dialogue is unusually bright and enter
tanning. Mr.. Days company, which
presented it last night, is especially
we'll adapted to its varied requirements. Miss
Helen Bijou Heron whose acting has been before
commended in these columns has an excellent
ingenue part, and plays it with much grace and
brightness being particularly effective in the love
scenes. Mr.. Hardenbmg, who plays the part of
the literary aspirant, made it very amusing, and
Mr. RusselTs Corliss was exceedingly natural
and pleasing. Extended commentator of indi-
yidual performances might be made but it
is needless, and, in general way,
it can be said that the company is
uniformly capable. All the parts We're well
assumed and decided hits were made by Mr.
Longworth, as the dancing -naster, and Miss
Barrett, an attractive actress, as the waiting
maid. The play was nicely put the stage
and presented with much spirit There was a
good attendance last night, and it should be
largely increased at the remaining performances,

Miss Maggie Mitchell, than whom there is no

an engagement at the Grand last
night with ''Lorle," which has not been seen here
for several years. 1t is beautiful play, and ex-
eellently suited to Miss Mtchelrs peculiar abili-
ties There is no occasion for detailed review
of the performance, further than to say that it
was admirably given, the excellent stage man
agement being noticeable feature. AS an act
ress Miss Mitchell is not less attractive
than she was years ago and she has lost none of
that sprightliness and grace which characterized
her earlier efforts Her characterize
ton of 'Lorle" last night was
graceful, natural and thoroughly artistic, and the
support accorded her by the company was much
above the average. Especial excellence can be
attributed to the efforts of Mr.. Graham, the lead
ing man, Mr.. Galloway, a good comedian, and
Miss Annie Locke, a clever actress, while the
other parts were almost equally well assumed.
