ROCK ISLAND CUTS RATES.
FROM CHICAGO TO SAN FRANCISCO
AND RETURN, SG:.5O.
Account of Letter Carriers Conven-
tiOn. Which May Not he Held
Therein This Event Rate
VIII BE withdrawn.

Chicago. Aug. 3O.-The Western roads
have got into a sad tangle over rates from
this city TO San Francisco, on account of
the Letter Carriers convention, which was
to have been held there next month. Last
Saturday all lines cut the round trip rate
to $3.50. and to-day the Rock Island an
nounced that it would put in a round trip
rate of S62.50. The letter carriers are also
in hight over the location of their gath
ering. The excursion committee insists that
the convention shall be held at San Fran-
cisco, as originally planned. while the pres
ident OF the association says that it shall
convene in Chicago. Late to-day the DO St
master general telegraphed Superintendent
of Railway Mail Service Troy that the
convention must be held in this city. The
Rock Island says that it reduces its rate
ar the suggestion OF the Southern Pacific
but that it will cancel same if the conyan-
ton takes place in Chicago.
