GOOD IN PARLOR CARS
ALI Passengers May Ride on Cheap
Worlds Fair Tickets.
No Limit to the 0ne-Cent- Per-Mile
Rates Adopted by Western AS
ISOLATION Roads.

The Western Passenger Association has
practically determined that all tickets sold
at cent per mile for the worlds fair bust
ness shall be good at all times on all trains.
The matter was brought up yesterday, and
every line. except the Rio Grande Western
and the Wisconsin Central went on record
as being in favor of the extension of priv
Ieges on the cheap tickets. The matter was

lines a chance to vote. as neither was rep
resented at the meeting. The Wisconsin
Central will probably agree to the PROPOSE
ton. and no opposition is expected from the
Rio Grande Western. In the highly i'm
probable event of any opposition being de-
Veloped the lines directly interested will
make the tickets good in all cars just the
same. The world s fair tickets will be good
