LOW RATES CONTINUED.
The Railroads willing to Haul People
to Chicago For One Cent Per Mile.

The lines in the Western Passenger Ascot
alton have finally seen a grea: light. Some
OF them saw It long ago but Others did not,
and those who saw it reaped no benefit be-
cause of their clearer vision. The enormous
amount of travel brought on by the one cent
per mile rate Qor Chicago Day has been
without parallel in the history OF railroads,
and the lines now see that the low rates bring
the people, bring them in swarms and droves,
bring them so that IT will be all that the rail
roads can do to haul them. This state of af
fairs the roads naturally desire to keep up
until the close of the fair, and at Thursdays
meeting of the Western Passenger Associa-
tion action was taken which means that the
one cent rate will continue for the remainder
of the exposition.
The roads agreed that all the roads could,
by giving FIVE days notice, put in the Chicago
Day rate for the balance of the fair. They all
gave the notice and the sale OF tickets at one
cent per mile will be resumed on October 10.
The tickets Will be good on all trains but in
coaches only until November 18th The
holders will not be entitled 10 sleeping or
dining car privileges. This resolution, how
ever, bids fair to be removed within short
time.
Chicago roads have never before done such
business as during the last four days The
Burlington brought into Chicago during the
time Chicago Day tickets were on sale 65, 900
people; Milwaukee & St Paul, 10000; North
western, 10000; Michigan Central, $4,000;
Atchison, 5000; Lake Shore, $4,000; Erie,
IS COO; and other roads amounts varying
10000 to $4,000, Nothing like 1t has ever
been known before, and the railroads expect
that it will be long before they see il again.

THE SILVER FIGHT.
Preparations for It in Both House Al
Senate.

Preparations for It in Both House and
Senate.
The preparations for the fight on the silver
question in both the House and Senate are
very active. Those on both sides Of the ques-
ton are doing all they can TO
strengthen their lines, and the impress
sion is that the matter will be fought to a
termination. The fact shown by the reports
of the Treasury Department that the country is
already thrown on to a silver basis, the
receipts for revenues being only about 8
per cent in gold against 90 per cent before
the enactment Of the Sherman law, has
caused great many conservatives in both
houses to consider the question very seriously
from purely business point Of view. A num-
Der OF propositions are being made to bring the
democratic party to an agreement on policy
to meet the present situation, but everything is
still in a chaotic condition and will probably
remain SO until representatives or both sides
can be brought into conference. The
indications point strongly to the pass
age Of bill repeating the Sherman
law through the House, and the leaders in the
for this repeal in the Senate ex-
pressed the opinion that it will pass that body
II Q vote can be had.
