FlNIFY AND THE ALTON.

CHICAGO. June 15.-Chairman Finley
and the management of the Chicago and
Alton railroad cannot agree. This has
been demonstrated every few days for
about two months, bat was never so clear
" set forth as it is il the opposing pro
nunciamentos Of the two parties on the
question of the Atoms liability under the
agreement for refusing TO restore passen-
ger rates between Kansas City and st.
Louis and St. Louis and Chicago. Mr..
Finley made draft on the Alton for the
amount Of the fine imposed by him and
sent it to a bank. The draft failed to re
ceive the required endorsement and was
not paid. Furthermore, the chairman has
been curtly informed by the general man
ager of the Alton that the fine never VIII
be paid. This leaves the chairman with
nothing further to do but 10 notify the
other members of the association of the
Atoms attitude and await their pleasure
But trouble is not so likely to grow out

latest decision, by which be authorizes
the Atchison and other lines to establish
summer tourist rates from Kansas City to
eastern points by issuing through tickets
by way of Chicago at rate equal to the
sum of the locals by way Of St Louls. In
doing this the chairman boldly replied to
the Atoms threat by giving 1t slap IN
the face. The Alton urged that equality
round-trip rates between Kansas City and
Chicago, and that in the face of the boy
colt, the sale Of through tickets to eastern
points and return at reduced rates would
place the Alton at disadvantage. But
the chairman saw fit to brush the argu-
ment aside, ana he has been notified by
the Alton people that, as a measure OF
self-protection they viii at once reduce
round-trip rates between Kansas CITY and
Chicago sufficiently to pnt their road on
an equal footing with its competitors.
Unless the other roads decline to avail
themselves of the authority given them by
Finley a rate war is imminent; for it can
not be doubted that Finley ard the Alton
people are equally determined to maintain
their positions.
Arguments were heard today by the
board of commissioners of the Western
Traffic association on the proposition to
advance the passenger rate from Missouri
river points to Utah common points from
$3.50 to $50. Another matter before the
board is the establishment of rates on
salt from points in Kansas to Mississ-
jppi river points and Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 15.-An adjourned meet

railway employers began here this after
noon. The members only remained in ses-
sicn a few minutes when an adjournment
was taken until tomorrow, to allow them

The council will discuss changes in the
constitution, which have been shown to be

THE wEEKIN WAII erReEr

New YORK, June l5.-Henry Clews. in
his weekly review of the New York stock
market, among other things, says:
Events during the week were mostly of
favorable character. The situation
abroad, which has been the chief source OF
anxiety, shows farther satisfactory i'm
proYement. The best evidence of this was
the decline in gold shipments and the rise
in the Bank of England's proportion of re

1906 per cent in n week. On Nav 9TH, or
little over a month ago, the ratio was
down 10 3335 per cent; so that il can be
seen how successful this institution has
been in strengthening its reserves. The
bank now holds about .. 000 600 gold more
than at this time in 1890. and is ia a
much better position 10 meet all probable
demands than was thought possible few
weeks ago. Whatever sums may be with
drawn by Russia, they will shortly be dis
bursed again in debt payments.
1t Is upon the home situation, however
that we chiefly depend regarding the
future. The certainty Of an abundant
harvest at horne and adefcient one abroad
increases each day. Our crop bureau
states that the increase in winter wheat
acreage Is lL5 per cent, and in spring
wheat 81 per cent; while the condition OF
both stands at the high average of q6 s
per cent and 926 per cent, Respectively

interests, 1t should he remembered that at
present we are suffering from the short
crops OF 1890. In spite of this drawback

THE coNEY ISLAND MEETING.

NEW YORK, June 15-The spring meet
ing of the Coney Island Jockey club will
begin tomorrow, and, from present indica-
tions, it promises TO surpass all its pre-
decessors. With the opening day comes
the eighth running of the Suburban
handicap race, which has for some time
past been the main topic among horse
men. Those who are announced as pOssi-
bic starters appear to be so very evenly
matched that an opinion of the result is
no easy matter to form. A conspicuous
feature of the great race will be the abb
sence of Salvador, who last year beat every
thing before him. Tenny's defeat in the
Metropolitan handicap at Morris park by
Tristan has lost the swaybac some of his
friends, but yet his number is almost
legion. which means that tomorrow he
will be a redhot favorite. Tea Tray, Riley,
Major Domo and Tournament, will, how
ever, be well supported, and, in the opin-
ion of the talent, the race will be confined
to them.
The Suburban is down on the cards as
follows: Fourth race, Suburban; a handi'
cap sweepstakes of 500 each, and only $25
if declared by Feb. 20, association to add
an amount necessary to make the value OF
the race Sl5, 900; second to receive 50, 500
