The Atchison Road Announces a Re-
duction in Fares.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The Atchison road
has given notice that, beginning Wednes-
day next, it will reduce one way rates
from Los Angeles east by s. so. The cut
| Is openly made, according to the Atchi-
son, because the other lines have for
some time been making it in connection
with the sale of tickets over the Texas
Pacific road. The cut has been diverting
business from the Atchison, and that
road has made up its mind that it could
not longer stand such conditions, The
action OF the Atchison has been a heavy
blow to the Western Trunk Line COM
mlttee, just as 1t Is preparing to go into
active operation. All the connections of
| the Texas Pacific deny in strongest terms
that they had any share in the cut and
the Alton, one of the lines accused of be-
ing in with the Texas Pacific, has shown
conclusiveiy that it has not had Texas
Pacific passenger within the interval in
which the cut is said to have been made.
All manner of heavy pressure is being
brought to bear on the Atchison to induce
1t to rescind its action, but so far nothing
has been accomplished.

ever, that If the plan decided upon by the
Santa Fe is carried into effect, and the
cut IN rates is put into effect Wednesday,
there Will be war of rates again, which
in all probability will again disorganize
the passenger traffic of all the Western
lines.
WILL NOT MEET THE CUT.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 25.-'The Santa
Fe cut of 81 80 on each ticket from Los
Angeles to Chicago surprised the South
ern Pacific officials, who say they will
not meet the cut at present, but will refer
the matter to the committee recently or
ganized, and which meets in Chicago on
Wednesday. The Santa Fe cut is attrib-
uted to the action of the brokers, who
have been given commission equal to
the cut on tickets on several other lines.
Rather than pay this commission, the
Santa Fe resolved to meet it with cut.
