RATES NOT TO Be ADVANCED.
By Railroad and Steam Ship
Companies.
Another Passenger Rate War Very
Probable.
Recent Action by the Union Pacific.
What the Local Oficers Are Doing.
Northern Passengers by
Steamship.

Pacific Mail Steamship company will be
discussed soon. r. P. Schwerin of San
Francisco. connected with the steamship
company, said that the tariff would
probably not be advanced beyond the
So rate now in force.
According 10 Sundays San Francisco
Examiner he further says:
''San Francisco merchants will be
given q chance to do all the business
possible in that direction at fair rates.
The traffic at presents is satisfactory. The
Pacific Mail accepts no through freight
consigned to Atlantic sesboard points,
and the Panama steamship line accepts
nothing except through business"
Mr.. Hinton. representative of the Pam
anna Railroad company in San francisco,
said to the Examiner: The Panama
company has not yet given notice OF any
advance in rates, aud will not do 30 un-
til the Southern Pacific company makes
some actual and tangible advance on
east-bound shipments by the Sunset
route. The railroad has advanced its
rates on terminal class rates, but not
commodity rates. When the rates on
the Sunset route go up the rates of the
Panama steamship line will &C up, too, l
suppose. At least that is my idea OF
what will be DONE"
The failure of the new Panama steam
ship line to accept freight TOR Central
American ports has caused comment
among some shippers. 1t is learned that
this refusal to accept way business is in
accordance with legal advice. An in

an infringement of the courts prohibit
tion to engage in certain lines of traffic
might prove exceedingly expensive
without promising any adequate return.
ANOTHER RATE WAR.
CHICAGO, April 2S. The Union Pacific
has made arrangements to handle its
Immigrant traffic over its line to Port
land and thence by steamer to San
Francisco OF the same rate as quoted by
other lines from the Missouri river. This
move indicates that it has practically no
hope tnat the Southern Pacific will es-
pouse its fight with the Western Passen-
ger association. 1t has requested the
trunk lines to ticket business to Omaha,
where it will take it up and carry it to
Portland.
The Southern Pacific today notified
the Western Passenger association lines
that it would not participate in the
$16 10 rate from the Missouri river to
Ogden, and cleo requested the trunk
lines to issue no tickets at that rate.
Western lines informed the Southern
Pacific that as they lad already informed
it several times, the Southern Pacific

association lines to extend the juriadic-
ton and allow the Southern Pacific to
receive percentages as in effect before
the reduction Of rates.
The situation ia daily growing more
IMPLICATED, and the opinion is general
that tho fight will extend to irat-class
passenger tickets before the old rates
come back again.
