CHICAGO, June 23.-Rates for the Ma
tiOnal Educational Association meeting at
Asbury Park are likely to 60 to pieces. In
fact, Generalization has already set In,

than the limitation of tickets. The 500
is the leader in breaking over the traces.
1t has announced that its return tickets
for the occasion will be good until Sep
TENDER 1. The Wisconsin Central at once
gave notice that it would do the same.
The Milwaukee and st. Paul road has de-
cided to meet the competition. 1t will
extend the limits of its own tickets, and
accept extensions on the part of counec-
tons.
The Burlington may find itself in bad
box before il gets through with the charges
that have been made against it in con-
nection with cut rates made for school
teachers from Denver. General Passenger
Agent Tr AYERS has written the chairman
of the Western Passenger Association
declaring that the records of his Office
showed that the tickets of which CON-
plant had been made had been sold at full
tariff rates, and he proposed to stand on
that record. The chairman considered
this answer ambiguous. He considered
that it would have been more satisfactory
to competing roads if Mr.. Travers had
come out and stated unequivocally not
what the records of his Office showed, but
that no cut or unauthorized inducement
had been made to induce the teachers to
patrOniZe the Burlington and Missouri

members Of the Western Passenger Asso.
ella ton, are at war again. This time it is
the Missouri Pacific. the Wabash and the
Burlington against the Chicago and Alton.
The charge is made that the Alton has
offered the st. Louis Turner's rate of
SO 80 between St. Louis and Denver,
which they have advertised, for their an
nual meeting at Denver July to9. They
charge also that the Alton has secretly
contracted with the Turner's, anticipating
the action of the association, and thereby
shutting out the other lines in the matter
of this business.
General Passenger Agent Bowes of the
Alton says there is nothing in the charges.
He attributes the misunderstanding over
the Turner's meeting to the fact that the
Turner's had been led to believe they
would secure the same reduced rates as
other bodies have been quoted to Denver.
They accordingly undertook to advertise
without receiving any positive assurance

Passenger and Ticket Agents have de-
