RAILWAY RATES.

The prolonged conflict between the
Board of Railroad Commissioners and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
Company about freight rates has been
terminated by settlement of satisfac-
tory character. The company will re-
duce the rates on the distance tariff an
average of thirty per cent, the reduc-
tions being the largest for long distances.
This tariff prescribes rates on freight
carried between stations within the State
and do not apply to shipments made to
and from points upon the Missouri River.
The Commissioners and the company
have also agreed upon reductions at
Great Bend and Newton. The reduc-
tions embrace rates on all classes Of mer-
chandise, and the reduced rates will ap-
ply on all the company's lines in Kansas,
including the branches.
Under the new tariff rates on grain,
flour and live stock will be lower than
the rates on the same articles in Iowa or
Wisconsin. The reductions on coal and
lumber are also quite liberal. The rates
last named are those for shipments to
and from Missouri River points. It is
also agreed that the new local tariff will
be scaled upon the new rates at Newton
and Great Bend.
The reductions viii not apply to rates
on the east end of the company's lines
The Board of Railroad Commissioners
have heretofore decided that these rates
were already reasonable, that in fact
they were as low as rates for similar dis
tances on roads in the State of Illinois.
The reductions will apply on the middle
and west portions of the company's lines.
The company accepts the Commission
ers Interpretation of the law in respect to
the validity of special tariffs to meet
commercial necessities, the Board having
heretofore and uniformly held that the
law was sufficiently flexible to permit
such tariffs
AL of the details of the new tariffs
/ have not been fully arranged and agreed
| to. 1t is expected that the revised tariffs
| viii go into effect In few days.
