THE TRUNK LINE RATE WAR.
THE ERIE's TRAFFIC MANAGER DEFINES THE
POSITION OF HIS ROAD


Tho Erie New York Central and Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and western railroads yesterday began to do
bound business to Chicago at lake and rail rates
of 80 %, 90, IS, II and IS cents on tho different
classes of freight Tho latest rate PRIOR to this re-
ducion was made June 90, when 3d. 30 %, 16,
IL and ii cent rates were adopted The Delaware,
Lackawanna and western reported to DO doing
local traffic at the new tariff Traffic Manager George
H. Valiant of tho Erie road, denied that that COM
pany started any cut In rates, and stated that on ro-
cept OF documentary evidence OF other roads having
reduced rates, the Eric company issued tariff on
scale Of dncrcnal rates whenever any competitive
lines cut their rates. In giving an explanation OF
the situation he said:
We not cutting rates on dressed beef Our
road lost nearly all the dressed meat traffic year
ago through the manipulation of the Delaware, Lacba-
wanna and other roads, and II We maintained the
agreed rates could not have rcganed our share OF
that traffic Commissioner Fink, after the matter
had been fully explained to him. allowed us a differ
entail allowing 10 cents per hundred on that class
of freight That rate, Of course, took some of the
business from other competing roads. as 1t enabled us
to get back part of the trade had lost The Penn
sylvania and Vanderbilt roads then began cutting tho
dressed beef, and all that we havo done was
TO make rate equality with theirs, taking
into account the dderential allowed to us by the
Commissioner.
Our road has never initiated single cut in rates.
Our present rates to New-York and Philadelphia arc
90 and Is cents, respectively and II the COM
petng lines have is reported, reduced their rates
10 20 cents We shall do business at the equivalent OF
II IL cents per hundred pounds. Our road has dono
the bulk OF the sugar traffic for many years. our ter
mna facilities here being convenient than those
of other roads, and have never cut rates on that
freight The bulk OF feights at this season are dry
goods and sugar and the reductions In rates since tho
opening Of navigation this year have been "a, Do,
II, II, and Z cents upon tho different classes OF
flcightS.
Tho Vermont Central yesterday followed suit In the
rate-cuting going all around, and issued west
bound lake and rail tariff of 81, a. 10, 10, 10 and 10
cents per hundred. The NewYork Central officials
deny that they ever the first to reduce tariffs,
and stated that they had not come down 10 3O-cent
rate but would do II forced by competing lines.
Ticv stated that business done ~ siNihclaSs rare
OF 10 cents could not pay, and they wec hopefnl OF
a speedy return a regular tarih which would be
strictly maintained by all roads. Railroad officials
reported that in first and sixth class frcightS there IS

I suppose that the bill f)r the

during the present session of Con-

do so, as there is no good reason
why our people should be robbed
by and with the sanction of Con-

There was real pleasant meeting
IN the little iodge-room on the top
floor of No $50 South Clark street
yesterday afternoon. 1t was pro.
fusely pleasant for everybody but
the maa who anticipated the most
meraiment, who brought about the
nesting, and by the meeting was
bzoaght about, SO sharply it made
his head swim.
The gentleman'S name is John
81. Jones, one of the handsomest,
most dignified and cultured colored
men in the city. He is an attorney
by profession, and by way Of recre-
alton wears the regalias of large
number of secret societies. Aud
when anyone assaults secret socie-
ties or speaks disparagingly of the
colored race, he strikes the most
tender spot i'm Mr.. Jones' anatomy.
A few weeks ago DR.. D. l.. Will
liams, the leading colored physician
of Chicago, in the course of long
interview with a reporter, used the
words: s'The great mistake which
white people make is to Judge the
whole colored race by the sleeping
car porter lwho is not half so black
as he has been painted), by the
newsboys and roustabouts." To
the interview he said: ssThe color
ed people are particularly fond of
sscret societies and bright regalias." !"
When Mr. Jones read those re.
marks of DR.. Williams his ire was
kindled. He saw in them an insult
to the sleeping-car porter and Sc,
cret societies, and he determined to
resent it. He had a lot of little
dodgers headed with big type
scattered broadcast over the city,
inviting all members of secret soci
cites, sleeping-car pOTters, and
hotel walters to meet at No. ISo
South Clark street and show DIR.
Williams where he was wrong.
At ESQ o'clock about fifty color.
ed men had assembled at the hall.
Mr. Jones elected himself chairman,
and Immediately opened his batter.
les upon Mr.. Williams. From two
newspapers he read two short ex.
tracts of DR.. Williams remarks,
the ones heretofore referred to.
LIN sesquipedalian words Mr.. Jones
landed to street-car porter, the hotel
waiter, the secret societies, and de,
nounced DR.. Williams. He was in
the midst of his wild, unbounded
elOquence when a eolored brother
cried out

THE CADETS FAIR.

In antoher column viii be found
an elaborate advertisement of the
Fair for the benefit of the Wash

on the 22nd inst, and closed on
the 9th of March. This deserved
ly popular organization, ranking
first among the colOred militia of
the District, both as to member
ship and proficiency in drill, has
gained for the colored citizen sold
Ter, a recognition in military circles
not accorded him previous to the
National Drill held in this city
last May. The only colored organ

temerity to enter the great Nation

the best drilled soldiers in the
United States, to their everlasting
credit be it said, that by their
gentlemanly department in camp
and their sOldierly bearing and
proficiency in drill On the field,
they earned for themselves and
their race an honorable position in
the list of contestants that fur
