that the Passenger Agents Association,
which was formed some time ago for the
purpose Of maintaining rates, will go to
nieces today. The effort to stop the pay
ment of commissions and the sale Of
tickets at slightly reduced rates has not
been successful as several agents have
been already fined, and others are believed
to have laid themselves liable. But the
rock upon which the association Will go to
pieces is believed 10 be the Southern Pacific
rate 10 New Orleans, which the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad demand shall be
raised or the rate to Kansas City reduced.
The Southern Pacific, 1t is understood, will
not Weld to this demand, ana the conse-
ouence will be, it is expected, that the At
lantic and Pacific road viii withdraw from
the associGfion. In that case the assocla-
ton Will go To pieces, and mid railroad
war VIII follow.
