THE BOYCOTT ON THE ALTON.
SOME ROADS DISPOSED TO IGNORE THE MA

SOME ROADS DISPOSED TO IGNORE THE MAN
DATE-THE BARGE OFFICE AGENCY.
Boston, April 1.-THE Boston and Albany Railroad
Company has been requested by the Newfork Contrai
to take Alton tickets off SALE The Boston and Albany
people contend that it not legal right for them
to refuse tickets Of their connections and they taRe
tickets off under protest simply TO protect their pass
engers against possible dlsc0mforts on the Newfork
Central officials Of both tho Boston and Albany and
New York and NewE England roads think II Is only
matter Of few days before the Alton boycott VIII
collapse. The New-York and New-England road VIII
take no steps the matter until they hnd that inc
trunk lines have absolutely refused to accept their
tickets. The Alton has the support Of tho Fitchburg
and Boston and Maine and all their immediate con-
nectons. Up to last night the Alton people had ex-
perienced no inconvenience in forwarding their pas
sengers from Boston to the West.
Chicago April 17.-Chairman Finley, Of the Western
Passenger Association has notified the Nickel Plate
road that f IL does not stop selling unlimited tickets
TO st. Louis by way Of Chicago the Western roads VIII
withdraw from IL the right TO sell tickets westward
over their lines This notice is in pursuance OF the
circular issued March H. which set forth that on and
after March 25 such tickets must be limited TO con-
tinuous passage not to exceed day from date Of
SALE General Passenger Agent Charlton, OF the
Chicago and Alton has notified Mr. Finley that his
road will not be party to any such policy as Is
proposed toward the Nickel Plate.
The question Of selling tickets over the Chicago aud
Alton to immigrants at the Barge Office will probably
be settled without difficulty. AS previously announced
the sale Of such tickets at the Barge once JONI
agency has been prohibited by the Trunk Line Com
mlssoners who havo maintained the agency there
with the authority OF the United States officials. Since
the boycott against the Alton by the roads OF th
| Trunk Line and Central Traffic associations won
into effect tickets the Alton have been refused
to Immigrants by Mr.. Doane the ont ticket agent.
Yesterday Mr.. Oberg, the passenger agent o. TN
| ntendent OF Immigration and asked what would b.
done with Immigrants desiring to 60 to points reacHt
nv the Alton alone. Colonel Weber replied that NJ
boycott would be allowed to interfere with the con
yenence and security of immigrants, and That Ii sucl
tickets were necessary TO the immigrants they mus
be supplied. When asked II he would sell ticket
of that kind, Mr. DGane replied that he must consult
the Trunk Line Commissioners.
Mr. Oberg said last night that his road might
ask permission maintain separat, ticket agency IN
the barge Office. and that Colonel Weber had vrtu
ally promised to grant them the privilege.
