Adoption of New Plan for Handling
Excursion Tickets.

CHICAGO July 31.-The roads of the
Western Passenger Association have adopt
ed new plan for the handling of excursion
tickets, and its use has been so satisfac-
tory that it will be kept up. The new
method consists in perforating the ticket
with a word wholly unknown to outsiders
as signifying the date upon which the tick
ct is executed for the return passage. This
word is changed every day the brokers be-
ing ignorant of it, and consequently of the
fore unwilling to handle them. The plan
was tried in handling the business of the
convention in Milwaukee, and was the
most satisfactory plan ever tried by any
of the roads.
