will be the first OF the Southern lines to make
tho same rate.
1t is as nearly certain ns anything unaccom.
pished can be that the Western lines will
make the same rates nfier June 10. Neither
the Eastern or southern rates will be quoted
continuously. Perhaps anch line will quote
them coming to Chicago once IN two weeks.
The return rorions OF the tickets will be good
for five days.
Tho central traffic general managers to-day
affirmed the recommendation OF the general
Passenger agents ior the cheap Wnrld's Fair

thirty five hour trains. the ~ yer cent re-

OF Eastern lines were arranged II was found
that not onc train in ten was left ns "a thirty

At present there is hardly train which
under the thrty-live hour agreement Is abls,
to quote the 20 per cent. reduction. The new
change would make the reduction amply ON
more than n third OF nll trains now running
between New York and Chicago.
1t Is nln,ost certain that the trunk lines Will ,
veto the move, ~ they are by no means SO
Rmenablo to argument on reduced rates an
