general manager under Burleigh; James M
Ashton, formerly Western counsel. now
chief counsel for receiver Burleigh, and
Second Vice President c. H.. Prescott.
formerly general manager of the Oregon
Navigation Company. None OF these has
been reelected. IT is a well-known fact
that the general officers at ST. Paul who

Coal Rates VIII BE Upheld
CHICAGO, Aug. 2e.-The announcement
that the ST. Louis & San Francisco con-
templated making a reduction in hard coal
rates from New Orleans to points in Kan
sas and Nebraska 10 $2.15 per ton practical
ly threw the Western roads into a panic.
Hard coal Is a most important factor in the
west-bound traffic at present and the d.
version in traffic in favor Of New Orleans
which the low rate of the St. Louis g. San
Francisco would create would have made
a very decided hole in the revenues OF the
lines passing through this city. The Vic
rate Is % cents under the Chicago rate
and the roads from here were rot at all
inclined to meet the reduction. The strong
est kind Of pressure was brought 10 pear
upon the St. Louis K San Francisco and
IL was told very plainly that a disastrous
war In rates would be the inevitable result
If the rate was persisted I'm, The represen-
tations made TO the 81. Louis * San Fran
cisco were sufficient TO make II cancel its
notice of the $2.75 rate and for the present
at least there viii be no lower rate on
hard coal in the Western territory.
