IRANSCONTlNENTAL RATES.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-There is blood on
the moon." so far as transcontinental
rates are considered, and, unless all signs
fail, March l will see the beginning of the
hottest sate war known in years. The ac-
tion taken by the Southern Pacific, in boy
cotting the Atchison tickets has moved
the latter road to wrath, and as soon as
Vice President Robinson returns from the
Pacific coast, active preparations will be-
gin. Mr.. Robinson is expected to return
TO Chicago by Thursday. 1t is hardly
probable that the fight will begin until
after the Southern Pacific has put its boy
Cott into active operation.
There is possibility that before the
trouble is over people will be able to go
from the Missouri river 10 the Pacific
coast for S. The Atchison is in excellent
shape for fight, as. being in the hands OF
n receiver, it is bound to make no more
money than is necessary to pay operating
expenses, while the Southern Pacific must
be more conservative of its revenues. It's
officers declared today that they mad not
been the aggressors, but that if they were
forced into the fight, for which they are
now actively preparing, they VIII be there
bit the finish.
A rate war just at this time would give
the Western Passenger association another
close shave for its life, and the emigrant
clearing house, which has been established
with much care will probably go to ever
lasting smash.
