CHICAGO, May 1S.-The meeting of
the trans-Mi issouri lines this morning
was productive of nothing save big
discussion. so 1t was adjourned. and the
lines in the Western Passenger assOci-
alton were called in the afternoon, and
there was bigger discussion than be-
fore. The result was nothing definite,
and the final settlement Of the matter
was left with the general managers.
who are to meet tomorrow. Although
no tangible results were obtained today
the AtchisOn gave out what it would
insist upon as the maximum rates, and
of these cannot be obtained it will pull
out of the association and make its own
rates. The figures submitted by 1t
at the meeting today were S35 for
the round trip between Chicago aid
Denver and Colorado common points,
and Sl665 from the Missouri river. This
was hard blow to the other lines, who,
left to themselves, would have agreed
without delay upon S45 round trip
rate between Chicago and Colorado com
mon points. They argued with Passen-
ger TRAFFIC Manager White, of the
Atchis0h, but that gentle man was i'm
movable. In reality the AtchisOn is in
favor of $50 round trip rate from Colo
rado common points, and $12 .S5 from
the Missouri river, but rather than dis
organize everything it offered the S35
and Sl6.65 rates. This the other
roads were not prepared to accept.

row. If the rates offered by the Atchi
son are not accepted it will without
doubt put into effect the rates of $50
from Colorado common points and $12.65
from the river, but It will under no
circumstances allow the fare to be over
S35 for the round trip from Colorado
common points and s16.65 from the
river. These figures are approx
mately single fare for the round trip
west of the river, and one and one
third fare east of it. The general
opinion is that the general managers
will accept these figures, particularly
as they are not likely to secure better
ones.

WHITE EARTH, Minn., May 18.-Con-
cerning the dissatisfaction said to exist
among the Indians over the appoint

the statement is the veriest sensational
nonsense. No such feeling exists; on
the other hand, no appointment could
have created more general satisfaction
among all classes. The only source of
complaint is the rumor that the head
quarters of the commission will be
located at st. Paul instead of at the
agency, where it properly belongs.
