STRUGGLING WITH RATE DIVISIONS.
Possibly Chairman Walker has Solved the
Dimcuity, Possibly He Hasn't.

Chairman Walker. for the Commissioners Of
the Western Traffic Association. issued II cir
cnlar yesterday that may result in solving the
problem OF joint rate divisions by way Of the
Indiana. Illinois. and Iowa road. 1t provides
that all traffic shall be handled on through
rate from tho Mississippi River to the sea-
board. the Western lines to receive 20 per cent.
of the rate. and the Eastern lines 20 per cent.
when divided ut Kankakee. which is the point
where Missouri River traffic has always been
divided, The 20 per cent. belonging to the
Western lines is to be subdvided. 50 as to give
lines seven tenths. This will give the Three
lis about the same earnings 1t heretofore real
lied on business from the Atchison. and which
the commissioners assume to be satisfactory
to that line The change is in the manner OF
able divisions on the Missouri River basis.
while preserving all the proportions hereto
fore established by the Joint Rate Committee
at all junction points.
Whether all the Interested roads will adopt
the proposed change is still a question. The
Atchison is satisfied, but the Burlington is not
ready to commit itself yet. The Western men.
In general. are satisfied. because it maintains
the established proportions ut all junction
points and leaves the Eastern roads no chance
t? gain an undue advantage through this
change in divisions.

Mr. Scott:
Your zeal in behalf of your Democratic

doubt he is all that no is represented to be:
but one thing is to be borne in mind. Alabama
and Georgia have about their share OF Federal
offices just now. Tennessee has not had much

that date only such silver dollars were to
be coined as wore necessary to provide for the
redemption OF the Treasury notes issued in

notes are being presented for redemption in
silver dollars. the coinage of silver dollars from
