Passenger Rates Threatened.

A good deal of uneaslneSS exists among
the Western roads just now over the pas
senger rate conditions at Denver. When
the Colorado Midland and the Rio Grahde
Western agreed TO become members of the
Western Passenger Association 1t was on
the distinct understanding that the Union
Pacific would abstain from supplying the
brokers with tickets or do anything tend
ing TO demoraliZe Colorado and Utah rates.
A test of the market has just been made
at Denver, and il shows brokers TO be lib
orally supplied with tickets. Seven ninths
of those found were of the issue of the
Union Pacific road. 1t was after months
of hard labor and an endless amount of
negotiation that the Colorado lines Were
got into the association. II present condi-
tons are allowed TO continue, they are
hardly likely TO remain in. Their with
drawal would be considerably more dsas-
trous in it's results than If they had re-
manned out.
Official announcement has been made
that the extensions OF the Kansas City
Pittsburg q Gulf road will be completed
by Sept. !. The road will then be thrown
open for traffic from Kansas City TO Sabine
Pass. 1t viii be 769 miles in length. There
are $50 miles of the road now under opera
ton from Kansas City TO Saltwater, j. Il.
When the road Il open to the gulf IL is
expected il will divert a large amount of
grain and provision traffic from Chicago.
It's opening may result in a great disturb
ance OF the rate situation.

Annual Report of the G. e. A.

Eastern financial papers are commenting
on the annual report of President Black
stone, of the Chicago & Alton. which was
issued last week. The report conceals moth
ing, and doubtless President Blackstone
spoke the truth when he said he had moth
ing TO conceal from the stockholders. The
Financier says: Space will not permit
such an exhaustive study OF the system.
but when IL is mentioned that the road
is decreasing its bonded debt through
sinking fund and will at no distant day
almost entirely hquidate obligations which
are becoming permanent liabilities with
other companies, some idea of the road s
intreuched position will be gained. The
Chicago * Alton charges nothing 10 con-
struction account and IL has expended in
definite millions in improving the condition
of its property without issuing securities
there against. In short, the road shows the
effect of good business management, and
the remarks OF President Blackstone on the
question Of ill-advised extensions are
worthy OF careful study. To the policy of
conservatism as displayed in the control OF
this property Is due its inherent reserve
strength. For the reason that this road IL
so firmly established on plane of pros
perity, the details OF its earning power as
mentioned above. need only be studied TO
show that American railways. rightly con-
Quoted, be kept out or bankruptcy. 1t
is to be regretted that the policy of the
Chicago 4 Alton has not been followed
more closely by other Western systems
which might be mentioned"

chairman of the Western Passenger Asso-
citation has taken the matter up. and de-
clared that the amendment is null and
