CHEAP RATES TO ATLANTA.
The Exposition Crowds To he Car
ried Very Cheap.

Washington, May &C. E. Harmon of
Atlanta and j. c. Halle of Savannah are
here as representatives of the special COM
mittee of the general rate committee of
the Southern States Passenger Associa-
ton. to make arrangements for the sched-
ule of rates to be enforced during the COM
ing Atlanta exposition. There are some
twenty-five roads in the Southern Asso-
citation, all of which are in some way con-
nected with the roads that lead into At
lanta, six in number. These six roads are
represented by as many men, who form
the special committee, which will report
to the general committee on the 18th of
next month. The gentlemen were to-day
unable to make any estimates of what the
rates would be from the northern cities,
but said that they would be the most
satisfactory rates that have ever been is
sued out of Washington.
I'VE are taking into consideration the
hard times" said Mr.. Harmon, "and the
rates to Atlanta will be cheaper than the
rates were to Chicago; in proportion,
mean. We are making every effort to
make the rates very low, and think the re-
suits will prove quite phenomenal when
we are through with them. One thing
want you TO be sure to say, and that Is that
the electrical and government exhibits at
Atlanta will far surpass any similar eff
forts at Chicago, or Paris, or any fair city
that has preceded us"
