HEADING OFF MANIPULATION.
ACTION LooKING TO THROUGH.DILLING TAXI


BY THE CENTRAL TRAFFIC LINES.
Chicago Nov II (SpccaD.-The Central franc As
socioton's Freight Committee adjourned to-day. the
most important business done by tho committee was
the passage of a resolution this afternoon GAZING
a meeting December L. at Chicago, of the auditors
and general freight agents for tho purpose OF agreeing
upon a method Of through billing. This is the plan
outlined three weeks ago whereby freight may in the
territory of all associations parties to the agreement
be shipped on one bill of lading from origin 10
destination The Western Freight Association has
already sgniGed its willingness 10 join in the move
ment as has the Trans-Missouri Association. Nheh
the plan Is in operation there be no backbilling
change of destination in transit or any of the fifty
means employed 10 manipulate rates 1t will like
wise be an immense convenience TO shippers, as no
matter where the shipment goes the railroads assume
all responsibility the moment the through bill OF ading
is made out. The plan originated with Chairman
Medgely
1t was decided that all applications for reduced
rates ON returned freight be declined and that the
official classification be strictly maintained on all such
shipments recommendation was also passed that
uniform Joint tariff be issued between points in the
associations connecting herewith, and published
with the signatures Of the chairmcn OF the various
associations. .
The last chance Of a further hitch in the amcable
west was taken away by unanimous concurrence
In the plan as proposed by the conference OF all
lines interested in New-York. The Northwestern lines
are immensely pleased over this confirmation as IL
quoting Joint tariffs with Central Traffic and Trunk
Line roads.

PAYMENT OF GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH BILLS

Washington Nov. I4.-Flrst Controller Matthews, Of
the Treasury Department. replying to letter from
Secretary Window, has made an important decision In
regard Government telegraph rates, the particular
ca-e dealt with being the claim OF the United Lines
Telegraph Company for telegraph service rendered the
Government during the month Of July. After rcciiing
the conditions Of the Act Of July "a 1866, and noting
tho fact of the acceptance of such conditions by tho
company in question: with ninety-fve other companies
he discusses the proper time for fixing the rates for
the year, concluding that Postmasol~Gcneral Wana-
makers recent order fixing rates, in light in which
il may be examined far the First Controllers
Office is concerned, must be regarded final. be-
tween tho companies and the Government Mr..
Matthews therefore decides that the bill Of the United
Lines Company should be settled the basis Of the
rates fixed October 80, 1889 and he adds
Where discussing officers have been required to pay
at the rate fixed for the fiscal year 1883 since July
they should be reimbursed by tho Treasury Depa. l.
mcn; and the paid. the rate fixed for the
present year, charged 90 tho company or companies
eXacting the same, and settlement, deducted from
the amount due them from the Government. IL may
be fairly inferred that this understood when the
excessive amount demanded and paid. And the
which pass through this Office will be settled
on this basis.
The opinion covers the question of the payment OF
all bills against the Government for telegraphc ser
vice rendered between June 30 and October 80
