Wisconsin Central Can Meet G. A. r..
Rates of the Great Western.
CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Relief was af.
forded to the Wisconsin Central road
during the day in the matter of ar
rangements for the G.. A. r. encamp-
ment at st. Paul next September. The
chairman Of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION gave it authority to meet the
action of the Chicago Great Western
road in extending the limitation of
tickets until Sept. Is. with the option
to holders to have them extended until
the end of the month by depositing
them with the company's ticket agent
at st. Paul prior to Sept. 10. The Wis
consin Central was given further au-
thority to tender these arrangements to
connecting roads for basing purposes.
Its connections say, however, that they
will not avail themselves of the Offer.
They are satisfied with the first AZ
rangements agreed to and cannot At
ford to have longer limitation Of tickets
at q cent per mile than was provided
for in them.

ANOTHER IN LINE
Minneapolis and st. Louis Will
Meet the Great Western
"
G. A. Z. Rates,
And 1t Is Thought Certain the
500 Will Very Soon
Follow.
Wisconsin Central Also Given
Authority to Meet the
Great Western.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 1.-THE Minneapolis
and st. Louis railroad has fallen into
line with the Chicago Great Western
and the Wisconsin Central and will
grant the same rate and the same ex-
tension Of time on special rate tickets
for the G.. A. r. national encampment
as the latter two roads. 1t is rumored
that the 500 road will soon fall into
line.
This action simply bears out the first
predictions made as to the ultimate
course that the Chicago lines would
adopt. So long as the Chicago Great
Western stood alone in its offer to grant
the G. A. r. the terms desired, there
was q possibility that the remaining
five Chicago lines might hold out, con-
fdent that one road could not handle
all the business. When the Wisconsin
Central also broke away and followed
the example Of tho Great Western, the
chances Of the combine holding out
were materially lessened, and now that
the Minneapolis and st. Louis has
withdrawn from the agreement, there
is no longer any doubt - to the result.
With three Of the six Chicago lines
granting the desired rates and 80 days
extension on tickets, the Milwaukee,
Omaha and Burlington will scarcely
stand by and see these roads monopo-
lie all the business.
