New YoRK, February 20.--The diff
culties growing out of the disruption Of
the ntinental Association are in
oreasing. and the cutting of rates, it is
said, will be something phenomenal
There has been no important change in
the situation, though @. d. Simonton. Of
ths Atchisop, Topeka & Santa Fe Road,
said to-day that Tuesday would be a
lively day. In regard to the introduce
tion of freight rates, whatever reduction
that road may make will doubtless be
promptly met by the other roads.
The Sunset route will put on more cars
and convey passengers to New Orleans
at a minimum rate in order to divert
traffic from the Atchison road, which
conveys its passengers to that point by
way Of Kansas City. At the Union Pa
cific and Chicago and Northwestern
companies offices nothing new was de.
veloped. A scalper on Broadway is
selling tickets TO San Francisco via the
Baltimore and Ohio and Atchison, To.
peka aud Santa Fe roads for $50, S67
and $44. The trip ON the other roads
costs $s7, $73, $50 and $40, respectively,
according to class. Tickets are issued
to Kansas City, at which point the pas
sengsr is given an order for the remain
der Of the trip. The scal per, it is said,
has made special arrangements with the
Atchison and Topeka road. The
cut in freight rates has not yet
begun, but as soon a. the Pacific Mail
streamers take freight and cut rates, apd
that will certainly be in less than
month. then the war will be prosecuted
with earnestness. A reporter called in
one Of the Pacific railroad offices and
asked II q return ticket 10 San Francisco
would be issued at reduced rates. The
agent said he could not give return
ticket, but would guarantee in writing
that ths reporter could return to New
York at the same rate. At another Of
ice stiIl better offer was made, show
ng that the rival companies were anx-
ous to secure business ct any rate. At
the Pacific Mail steamship Of
ice 1t was said that rates for
freight and passsn gers would be re-
lucsd one-half as soon as the war really
,pened. winch might be at any hour.
The Nail and Express says; Trans
freight has come to q halt
md to-day telegrams were sent from this |
,ity 10 the west to stop further cuts
pending Efforts about TO be made to end
Ihe contest. The Atchison, Topeka &
santa Fe has been unable to get the
roads out Of Chicago TO pro rate or cut
freight rates 10 the Pacific Coast and
thus far frsigbt war has been avoided.
