CHICAGO, Nov. ga large number
Of rumors were current today of reduc-
tion in the passenger rates between Chi
cago and the Missouri river. All of the
roads have admitted that this was likely
to come at any time as result of the
trouble between the Chlcago-St. Paul
lines. Some Of the strong lines have
been seriously considering the adyisa-
bility Of making a reduction between
Chicago and the Missouri river, but it is
not likely that anything will be done un-
til after the meeting of the lines on
Wednesday of this week.
KANSAS PACIFIC SALE
WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-The gov
ernment directors and the receivers Of
the Kansas Pacific railway, which is to
be sold December 18th, have submitted
to the attorney general the figures from
which the value of the property is to
be estimated. Their figures as to amount
of earnings and income. while differing
slightly, agree for all practical purposes.
These figures in round numbers show the
following gross and net earnings for the
years from 1889 to 1896 inclusive: 1889,
gross earnings, $3.055,0O0: net earnings,
$1,059, 900; 1890, gross S3,040,000, net STA
473 1891, gross s2,939,OOO net s1,2230OO;
1892, gross $3,418,000, net S1,501, 900; 1893,
gross $2,419,000, net $500, 900; 1894, gross
$2.093, 900, net $609.2S9 1895, gross s2.01S,-
900, net $609,OOO; 1896, gross $2,24s,O00, net
$705,O00. There has been little inquiry
from possible or prospective buyers, but
1t Is believed the road will go to the reor-
ganization committee of the Union Pa
cific. There is a legal question as to
whether the purchasers Of the property
will have certain privileges which will
virtually amount to franchise, and to
the measure of these privileges increase
the value of the road to the purchasers.
