i NAR OF RATES PRoszBLE.


Take Hand at Il.
New YoRK, July 26.--The officials Of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Co. have notified
the Transcontinsntal Association that I'M
less the subsidy from the railroads is in
creased, they will cut the rates and take
all the freight they can get.
It is thought this ID q preliminary slept to
a war against the Canadian Pacific road,
and the fact that the Southern Pacific has
refused to allow diffsrential rates to the
Canadian Pacific is considered q confrma-
tion OF this belief. The Transcontinentai
roads intimate that they are willing to
divide through business. giving the Cana
dian Pacific per cent, and the dispatches
from Chicago, received to-day, said the
Canadian Pacific was willing to agree to it.
II the Canadian Pacific insists upon differ.
ential rates, however, q war OF rates will
