Probable War on Rates.

CHICAGO, August D.-The Hamburg
American Packet company has issued a
circular to its agents throughout the
northwest, altering to pay them a COM
mission of 81 each on sales Of tickets by
rail from Chicago to New York, either
first or second class, in addition to the
usual steamship commission. The cir
cular only quotes the rate over the
Michigan Central, the Michigan South
ern and New York Central. It is sur
missed that in the present strained
relations between the east bound trunk
lines, this will probably lead to a wal of
rates.

The County Republican Committees of the several
counties will proceed to call county conventions IN
their respective counties and elect delegates and al
ternate delegates from each OF said counties to the
Territorial Convention above designated.
1t is desired that sufficient notice of such conven-
lions be given. The Territorial Republican Commit
tee respectfully recommends that the said county
conventions be held early in the last half of the
month of September, but such date should he fixed
therefor as, after giving due notice to the republicans
of the counties, will be most convenient.
1t is presumed that the custom heretofore prevail
ing in the several counties of the territory whereby
delegates to the territorial convention are elected
from the respective counties by the conventions
which assemble to nominate county officers will pre-
vail during the present year.
To the end that all counties in the territory, re-
mote from or near to the place of holding the terri
torial convention shall have opportunity to be repre-
sented therein fairly, and to prevent any extraneous
Interference with the deli berate desires of the repub-
licans Of each county, the following rules have been
prescribed by former conventions for the government
of the Republican Territorial Conventions in the
territory of Montana:
/. Delegates and alternate delegates shall be
elected in the future to terri tOrial conventions, and
in the event Of the failure of a delegate to attend the
alternate delegate shall cast the vote of the delegate
whose alternate he is.
2. In the absence of a delegate and his alternate
a majority of the delegation from that county shall
cast the vote of the absentee.
8. In the absence of all the delegates and alternate
delegates from any county, no vote shall be cast for
such county.
4. In the county in which the territorial conven-
ton shall be held when any delegate and his alternate
delegate are absent there shall be no vote cast in their
behalf.
5. Delegates and alternate delegates shall be re-
publican residents of the county which they repre-
sent.
AT no former period in its political history have the
republicans of the territory of Montana had present
ed to them 50 many incentives for unity and thor
oughness of political action, and it is earnestly de-
sired that the convention hereby called shall repre-
sent faithfully the vital energy and b~eneficent i'm
pulses of the republicans of the territory of Montana.
By order of the Territorial Republican Committee.
