CANNOT GET CUT RATES TO WASHINGTON.
Helena, Mont, special TO the New York
Tribune says: ''The 800 or 400 Montanians who
have been planning to 60 to Washington to
witness the Inauguration Of President-elect
Harrison are astonshed over the announce
ment that the railroads will not sell cut-rate
tickets for this occasion. The cause for this
movement Is traced to the Union Pacific, while
the Northern Pacific and Manitoba roads are
willing and even anxious to make q rate. There
is said to be an agreement between the three
lines by which the action of one road in the
matter OF passenger rates governs the others.
There is not a road east of st. Paul or Omaha
that has not announced excursion rates for the
Inauguration. If low-rate inducements are Of
fered there will be an immense representation
OF strong-lunged shouters at Washington from
the northwest"
