ALTON IN AN AGGRESSIVE MOOD.


Chicago. April 21-A tilt between the representative
Of the ChicagO and Alton and that OF the Atchnon,
Tonoka and santa Fe was feature of the speca
meeting of the Western Passenger Association to-day
The meeting was called to consider tho question OF
restoring rates wherever they have been reduced III
the territory of the association but the Chicago anu
Alton announced that it not prepared to ADVANCE
the rates between Chicago and st. Louis Ten
eral Passenger Agent Charlton, Of that road INFORMED
tho meeting that in view Of the boycott dcclar1u
against his company by the Eastern lines 1t mishe
become necessary for the Alton TO protect ltsen Oy
action independent Of the Western Passenger Asso
catlon He would not consent to advance rates "heh
he might be compelled to reduce them within twenty
four hours, and he plainly declared that If 1t be-
came necessary to make reduction, as measure
OF protection to the Of his road he would DO
So regardless of the agreement and rules OF the asso
ciation The fight in which the Alton Is now engaged
was not of it's seeking.
VicePresdent Springer, OF the Atchison, retorted
sharply declaring that Charltcns pretezts for refus-
Ing 10 restore rates were hmsy, and intimatng that
his threat of withdrawing from the association was
little less than dishOnorabe. This brought out
scathtng rejoInder from Charlton, and war of words
was engaged in. But the other managers all seemed 10
sympathizc with the Alton. o,,,
The resolution to restore rates between Chicago ana
ST. Louis voted down. Arguments were uel
rates from Kansas City 10 81. Louis: The question
was left for Chairman Finley TO decide. He was m
formed by the Alton people that they would not ad-
vance the rate whatever his ruling might be.

AN INTERSTATE COMMERCE DECISION.

Washington, April 21.-The Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day in opinion by Commissioner
veazey decided the OF John p Squire Co. against
the Michigan Central Railroad Company, the New
York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company ana
the Boston and Albany Railroad Company, involving
the rates of transportation live hogs live cattle ana
meat products In favor Of the complanants. Inc
points decided are briefly follows: Rates for the
transportation of property should be based upon eA-
sting fixed facts and permanently continuing conai
ons among which are bulk, weight and general value
of the commodity, and expense of carriage but purely
commercial considerations cost of rents and labor
rates of taxation fuctuatng market prices are neither
legitimate factors nor fixed and stable conditions.
Violation by one carrier Of principles laid down In TINS
case as governing relative rates on competitive acIes
docs not Justify similar violations by It's competitors
The rates involved in this case are those on 1--we hogs
live cattle and the dressed products OF each Ihesc
are found to be competitive commodities and therefore
entitled relatively reasonable rates for ansporta
ton prOpOrtoned TO each other according TO the respec
tive costs of service.

portant bills like the Congressional Apportlonment
bill the Constitutional Convention bill, and the Enum
GRAFTON bill doubtless would remain unacted upon and
an extra session would be positively necessary But
he should not call this extra session immediately
The measures he referred were important, but MOI

election. when he would suddenly summon them TO
Albany and lay before them the business to which he
had alluded Probably the Legslature would be sum-
moned TO Albany in the most intense moments Of the
