a STAGGERING BLOW
Given the Excursion Agreemer
of the Western association.

Given the Excursion Agreement
of the Western association.
CHICAGO. June 12.-The excursion
agreement of the Western Passenger
association was given a staggering blow
by the news from st. Louis that the
Alton was making rate of $50 for the
round trip between st. Louis and Dem
yer for the convention of the homeop-
athic society. a cut of $3.50 from the
regular authorized rate. The Missouri
Pacific at once put In the rate of $50 on
hearing that the Alton had cut under
the tariff. aud the Atchison lost no time
in following suit. The other Denver
lines also joined in without loss of
time. General Passenger Agent Charl-
ton. of the Alton, denied today
in the most emphatic manner that the
rates were being cut 10y his line. but the
st. Louis agents OF the other lines were
positive and unanimous in the charges
against the Alton. Chairman Caldwell
is still hopeful that he will be able to
keep the trouble within bounds, but the
prospect of his doing SO is not bright.
The regular quarterly meeting of the
Western Passenger association con-
vened today. but did very little outside
of routine business. Several organiza-
lions which have been granted low
fares for their meetings had represent
ativeS present who asked for longer
time limit on their tickets, but no action
was taken on any of the demands by the
association
