The bureau Of American republics at

lately, but seems to have passed over
them. The cause of the trouble, if
trouble it may he called, is not known,
but may have arisen from the belief Of

powers that their nations were not re-
ceiving as much attention as they
should. Mexico and Argentina had
signifed their intention to withdraw,

The agitation for lower street-car
fares is spreading. Some of the cities,
such as Detroit and New York, have
taken the question up in earnest. In
the latter case it is not the city alone
that is involved, but every city in the
state, as the state legislature has taken
hold OF the matter A bill has been
prepared and introduced in the assem-
bly, at Albany providing that at certain
times Of day the companies shall sell
thirty tickets for 81, whenever the
road can pay its fixed charges and 3
per cent on the investment The re,
duction of fares is a thing of great mo-
ment to the larger cities. 1t means that
the people can go farther in the
country for their homes. At the pres
ent time the number that feel they can
afford to pay double fares each way is
small But il the fares be reduced to
8 cents the double fare would be scarce
ly more than the single one is now.
When a few cities and states have
passed such laws and made them cp-
erative the movement will progress
rapidly to the advantage Of all. The
roads will not be entirely the losers,
since a reduction of fares greatly in
creases the volume of travel, especial.
