ANOTHER CUT RATE FIGHT.
The friction which has existed be-
tween the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
and the Southern Pacific roads seems
20 have developed into something be-
yond the merely passive stage. Repre-
sentatives of both roads were appointed
to meet this week at Ell Paso, Texas,
where 1T was hoped all differences
would be settled. Such appears not to
have been the result, for the Santa Fe
road yesterday made cut in passenger
rates that iraugurates further con-
tention, and that will doubtless be met
today by the Southern Pacific. The
points affected are ae follows: To
Chicago the limited rate was s57; and
cut has been made to $5l25. The
ccCOnd Cinco blChob ndn Do6u I6uucoC
from $52 so to $46.75. To st. Louis q
cut has been made ON the limited ticket
from $52 to $50, with the second class
cut from S47.50 to s4450. These central
points are only affected at present, and
while full particulars regarding the diff
ferences that led to the Santa Fe COM
pany adopting its present course are not
yet to hand, ii seems reasonably certain
that the gauntlet thus thrown down will
be taken up by the pposIngcorpuTatiou.
