CHICAGO, July 11.-Another cloud
roads today, when a telegram was
received from General Passenger.
Agent Parker, of the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas, announcing that the
Texas Pacific had put in round
trip rate from Dallas to New York
of $40.75. This rate was made to
apply via st. Louis, and from there
east was said to apply over the
Pennsylvania. The Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas declared the only way
for it to meet this rate would be by
putting in a rate of $15 for the
round trip from Dallas to st. Louis,
and this it declares it will do tomor-
row unless it is advised from some
authoritative source that no such
rate as that it mentions has been
put in. The Western roads are great
ly troubled over the outlook, for
they believe that if these rates are
put into st. Louis there will be no
way of keeping them out of Chi
cago. The officials of the Pennsyl-
vania road in Chicago say they
have heard nothing of any such rate
being put in over their lines, and that
if the Texas Pacific has put it in
it muct be standing all reductions.
In any case, they say, they will
exact their full percentage of any
tickets that the Texas Pacific may
sell over their lines, to New York
or elsewhere.
The investigation conducted by
the chairman of the Western Lines
Passenger association into the be-
ginning of the decentralization on
the tickets to the Christian Endeavor
convention seems to esta blish that
the 500 line was the principal Of
fender. 1t declared that it had found
that the Great Western and the Min
neapolis & St. Louis had begun the
sale of tickets with the extended re-
turn limit, and that it was forced
to take similar action in order to
protect itself. Both of these lines
succeeded in clearing themselves of
the charges made by the 500.
The Chicago-St. Paul lines have
reached an agreement to make a
one-fare rate for the round trip for
all parties attending the dedica-
ton of the Chickamauga and Chat
tanooga battle fields. The tickets
will have return limits of Sept %.
All the Western roads have agreed
upon basing rate of $50 from Califor-
mia points to the Missouri river and
return, added to the rates authorized
east of the Missouri river to Boston
and return, for the knights Templar
conclave at Boston and to Louisville
and return for the G. A. r. encamp-
ment. All tickets reading over the
Shasta route will have SIS additional
to that rate.
The only roads that awaited them
selves of the reli-f granted by Commits
sioner Mcdonald, of the Central Traf-
fic association, under the action of the
Erie in selling Christian Endeavor
tickets to Boston, were the Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern. the Nickel Plate
and the Wabash. The latter road is
generally credited with having Sc
cured the bulk of the business to Bos-
ton incidental to the convention.
Judge Baker this afternoon entered
the formal order in the case of the
people against the Pullman Palace Car
company. The case came up on an in
formation that was filed by Attorney
General Moloney, in which he alleged
that the company was violating the
terms of its charter Some of the al
legged violations consisted in the build
ing of residences at Pullman, MAIN
tanning a large downtown office build
ing, and the holding Of shares in the
Pullman IRON & Ste5l company. The
Pullman company demurred to the
bill of the attorney general Some time
ago Judge Baker sustained the demur-
rer, except with reference to the hold
ing Of stock in the Pullman Iron &c
Steal company. The order that was
entered was in accordance with the
finding Of the court. The case will be
taken TO the supreme court
