bonds of $4,000. 900. and the second
mortgage bondhOlders, representing $5.-
coo 900, was argued today before Judge

tinued in the original proceeding and

own was granted, the judge holding
that all equities and prioritieS could be
better taken care in the original pro-

News in General
Chicago, H., Jan. 1s.-The complica-
ton between the lines in Colorado show
no signs Of settlement. The Union Pa
cific, Denver and Gulf has over 200
tickets in the hands of the brokers,
and the counting of them up is more
than ii cares to assume. II has again
asked the Atchison and the Denver and
Rio Grande, which ne claims are equal
ly interested with itself in the main
tenance Of rates in Colorado, TO aid in
closing the market, but both lines have
fatty declined. They say that they
had no hand in placing the tickets with
the brokers and that il is none OF their
business to take them out. In the
meantime the entire Western PaSsen-
ger association is trying TO have the
tickets taken off the market and the
Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf has hot
water no matter which way IL jumps.
1t must take up the tickets al heavy
loss or lose money through the demor-
alization in rates that will inevitably
result.
A ruling was handed down by Chair
man Caldwell today TO the effect that
the rate of $50, agreed TO west OF the
eastern gateways of the transconunen-
tai lines for THE Baptist anniversaries
to be held in Portland, Ore, next May,
will be available only from Duluth, ST.
Paul. Minneapolis, the Missouri river
points and other gatewayS. 1t will not
apply from St. Louis, Memphis or New
Orleans, and moreover, those points are
not included in the territory from
which the regular one-way thirty-day
first-class tickets are to be sold.
The committee of the New York Min
ing exchange which has been making
an effort to secure reduced railroad
rates to Denver on the occasion of the
opening Of the mining exchange in the
latter city has failed in its endeavors.
The Trans-Missouri and Western Pas
senger association roads had agreed to
make low rates if the lines east of Chi
cago would do the same. The latter.
however, would not agree and the plan
of the committee, which was TO run a
special train from Denver to New York
for the opening, has been given up.
