 CHICAGO. Feb. 19.-AII the Chicsg, railroads having trsnscontinental con nections are booking passengers to SsI Francisco at the following figures; Firs class, unlimited, 40; first class lImi ted, S6O4 40; second class or smigrant limi ted S32. This is a reduction of about S2, on first class rates. The rates to Port land or to California via, the Northern PacIhc remain unchanged, no reductions having been announced. A prominent railroad official in commenting on the situation this morning said the action of the Pacific road in announcing the sale of unlimited tickets at the reduced rate mesnt that the old tariff would probably never again be imposed, ns the rates allowed them nearly three cents a mile which was an equitable return for so long haul.
 NEW YORK. Feb. l9-The Central and Southern Pacific people take the disso- lution of the ans-contiuental pool phil osophIcslly. Mir. Huntington says: "I don't look for any more trouble than there has been under the pool. There was cutting then and there will be DOW. Naturally It would be expected that We should discontinue the Pacific mail subsidy. We are, and have We believe ID getting people to CslIfor- mia to settle the country. At our meet ings we agreed, sll of us except the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, which wanted more than 1t earned, or was able to earn. It earned 22 per cent and wanted 40 per cent. We objected and none of us feel particularly friendly to them. How long the cutting rates we'll go on 1t Is impossible to say"
 SAN FRAScIsco, Feb. l9.-Among the different agents of the roads formerly connected with the pool there was great excitement. None of them knew where they stood; all were eager io know what the other agents were dOing and to ascertain, had men going to the different offices to ascertain shat tickets were selling for. When the little game was dropped upon the agents grew reticent and 1t was only up- on the appearance of men who appeared to be bOnsfide inquirers for tickets that agents unbosomed themselves. The publication of the war of rates led to unprecedented inquiries after tickets but there was little purchasing, however, The general belief IS the rates will go still lower. The lowest rates quoted are az follows: New York, first class, S40 or SSO for unlimited ticket; Chicago, s55 first class, SGJ for unlimited; to New York, third class, $40; to Chicago, third class 50.

 NEW York. Feb. l9.-To-day the east ern agent of the Atchison, Topeka 6 Santa Fe railroad received orders to cut freight rates to meet those offered by any of the western roads. As a result freight rates were reduced to- day about 30 per cent The Sunset route has slso cut rates, but to what extent is not gen. erally known. Shippers at this time Oi the year are not making many consign' ments, and the roads therefore make liberal terms with them in order to se- cure business. It is difficult to sscer tain at the office of the company just what rates are made by the officials oi the Sunset route, who are now at vork on a new tariff schedule which it IS ex pected will be completed and put into force on or before Monday next. A meeting of the Union Pacific, North srn Pacific and Oregon < TranscOnti nentsl companies' presidents IS belnl held here today to determine what action shali te taken by those rosds in relRtlol to Pacific coast passenger and freigh rates. IL is expected a uniform and re duced schedule will besagreed upon which will brIng to those roads thei share of the western business. In
 Baltimore & Ohio road this morninI was the first and only trunk line out New York which reduced its passenge tariff to San Francisco ID sccordRnc
 with the recently adopted cut of line
 west of the Missouri river. The rate
 to San Francisco are as follows: Unlin
 tied tickets, SS3.5O; frst-class limite'
 S7351, and second-class, SiS. Othe
 trunk lines will probably follow to-mor
 row.
