1t Figured That 1So Special Train LOADS
Will Enter Denver.
CHICAGO, July 30.-Extensive prepara-
tions are being made by all the w estern roads
to carry the crowds that are sure to take
advantage of the cheap rates to Denver
and return on account of the Knights
Templars' conclave. Every passenger car
that can be had will be put into service.
and lnnumersble special trains will
keep the rails hot for several
days between here and the Rocky
mountains. Out of Chicago there will be
thirty special trains RIM by the Rock
Island, thirty by the Burlington. about
thirty five by the Alton and at least dozen
by the Atchison. and an equal number by
the North western and Maple-l leaf. Almost
as many more will leave ST Louis over the
Missouri Pacific, the Wabash, the Burling-
ton. the Alton and the Frisco" In addi-
tion to these specials will be run from other
points and the five trunk lines reaching
Denver from the Missouri river will
have more business than they have ever
been called upon to handle before in tho
limited space of time allotted to them. It
is estimated that in addition TO their regu-
lar trains, the roads entering Denver Will
take into their city. from all directions
not less than $50 special trains on account
of the conclave. Thousands of the pilgrims
from the East will break their journey In
Chicago for q breathing spell. The MIchi-
gan Central alone will bring in thirty
special train loads and all of them will stop
here long enough to visit the worlds fair
grounds. A similar programme has been
arranged for those coming In by other
roads
More Passenger TroubIes
CHICAGO, July 30-Passenger troubles
seem to be multiplying The latest cause
for friction and lll-feelinG among passen-
ger men is the alleged discovery of cirou-
lar of instructions sent ont by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul road to Its agents.
naming certain Eastern lines as favored
connections. an agreement entered into
by few Eastern and Western roads, after
the withdrswal,o of the Alton boycott. pro-
vldinR for an equitable division of BUSH
ness among them without the payment of
cOmm ssions. was the cause of this circular
being issued. 1t directed ticket agents to
r0ute all through business originating at
points on the st. Paul sy stem equally over
the Pennsylvania. Michigan Central and
Lake Shore roads. The different lines are
naturally stirred mp over this discovery.
1t means a loss of considerable business to
the Chicago & Erie. the Wabash, the Bal
timore & Ohio and the Chicago and Grand
Trunk. especially If it should transpre that
similar circulars have been issued by other
Western roads that were parties to the
agreement. These sighted lines are indig-
nant. and threaten to adopt heroic meas
ures to protect their interests if the dis
| elimination be continued.
Caldwell and the Atchison.
CHICAGO, July 30.-Cbairman Caldwell,
| of the Western Passenger Association, will
wait until next week before selecting O
man to act with Z. A. Ford in arbitrating
the differences between himself and the
Atchison company. In the meantime he
| has nothing to say regarding the charge Of
| conspiracy made against him and the men,
| bers of the association by Passenger Traffic
| Manager White. Most of the officials of
the roads included in the conspiracy charge
| are disposed to treat the matter lightly, if
not with absolute merriment. but in some
| instances il is plain to see that the levity
| is somewhat strained.
| The new tariffs adopted by the Eastern
roads. changing the differential basis Of
freights, as between New York and Boston,
| on shipments from Chicago, will not be put
into effect until Aug. Is. This is q post
| ponement from Aug !, the roads requirin 2
! further time for the revision of rates at in

some time ago by the Interstate commerce
