THE RATE WAR.
Railroad Men Fear a Much Greater
Cut.


SAN Francisco, March "a telegram
from the East this morning announced
that the Missouri Pacific road proposed
to cut rates between Kansas City and
Pueblo from $3.50 to SO. The
local freight and passenger agents
view this announcement With no
little concern. Should such be
the fact, 1t will probably involve the
,rnnscontinontal lines in the fight, and
may result in the latter being brought
into n rate cutting war between them
selves. This Is the opinion entertained
by many of the representatives OF the
Eastern roads. who agree that. should
the transcontinental roads continue to
cut rates, II would not bo long before
people would be travelling at the old $40
rate from here to Chicago.
There was no change in the
local aspect this morning. No
further cut has been made, and Accord
ing to the Interstate commerce law
another reduction can not bc made for
three days, that time being required to
give notice of such move. The same
law fixes the time in which the notice of
q rise in rates must be made at ten
days. so that no change can be made
toward bringing the rates up TO their
former figures until next week.

THE SMITH MOTION.
The Debate Continued in the
Commons.
THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.
An Allegation That the Commis-
sion Was Appointed to Stir
Up Hatred.

LONDON, March 5.-The debate on the
amendment to Smiths motion, relative
to the adoption by the commons of the
Parnell commissions report, moved by
Gladstone was resumed to-day
MacNcil, home rulor, said that he he
iieyed that the appointment of the com.
mission was merely an attempt 10y the
government to stir up hatred against the
Parnellites. lie charged the govern.
meDt with allowing Pigott to escape. as
1t had allowed Lord Arthur Somerset to
escape, for political purposes,
Sir Charles Lewis (conseryative) ad.
mitted that the report proved very little
that was not known before, but said that
II proved what was before disputed. lie
accused Campbell, Parnell's private sec.
rotary, of removing the books Of the
league. A lively PASSAGE here ensucd.
Campbell declared that he last saw the
books In Liverpool, and as far as he
knew the same books had been pro.
duced before the commission.
Lewis contonded that every charge
that had been disproyed would have
been proved If all the books had been
produced.
sexton said that he wished to explain
in behalf OF Powell, why they refused to
place ut the disposal Of their opponents
a statement of the treasurer of the party.
Lewis asked II there was a legitimate
explanation which had been overlooked
In the report. II the books had been
produced, they would have shown be-
lore all other evidence whether the re
spohdents were honest mon or criminals.
