Chicago Sept (speciaD. Tho trunk lines and

ISOLATION have both boon heard from, and oo'h
positively refuse to prorate with the Northwestern
lines on through business. There was faint nope
on tho part Of the Northwestern lines that the
decision would be otherwise. but as 1t was a iant
one the decision Is surprise. Chairman falhorh
read both decisions on tho assembling of the western
Freight Association this morning. The members
were confronted with exactly tho same conditions as
those which resulted month ago In a lo-cent
rate to st. Paul. The logical outcome OF the present
situation is consequently 15cent all round rate

Is reduction OF 75 per cont The Burlington ana
Northern still insists competing for through Dusl'
ness, and this means a l5-cent rate or lower Ihs
company hopes the Eastern lines can be induced to
publish the 15-cent rate as proportion of through
rate New-York to St. Paul, and by
this means keep up the local ratio 10 tho
present 60-cent basis but Chairman Cooley's recent
decision cannot be disregarded 1t did not refer
directly TO discrepancies between the proportions oil
legal through and local rates, but It's intent
undoubtedly was that there could be no great dlfer
ence No one thinks with o 15cent proportion o.
a through rate that higher local rate than 10 or IL
cents will be tolerated. The Burlington and Northern
must make an allround reduction in rates OF - per

no choice IS left, IL will have through business 10

The Burlington and Northern created a'decided
sensation by notice that 1t would reduce the grain
