Think Rate. Ma, Be Cut.

Chicago. April 9.-,rhe legal advisers
of the western roads have advised the
committee now working on the new
agreements Of the Western Passenger
Association that there is nothing In the
decision to prevent the roads from
granting reduced rates whenever they
choose, and that the roads can make
or maintain any and all kinds Of rates
as long us the rates do not interfere
with the convenience of any indivil-
ual road. They base this assertion
upon the Supreme Court decision,
which states that the reasonableness
or unreasonableness Of the rates did
not enter into consideration at all
There could not be any agreement
which did not to certain extent In
terferc with the freedom of action Of
all the roads participating. Just in pro
portion to the extent which 1t did &C
interfere with individual action 1t was
restriction Of trade, and, therefore.
unlawful. Therefore. no agreement OF
any kind affecting competition rates
could be legally made.

French capital. Inquiries from all

merchants and manufacturers, how
ever, are greatly interested. and for
that reason, Consul-General Morss hao
made an extended report on the SUBJ
feet to the State Department. Prepara-
tIons for the exposition are even now
we'll advanced. The works of demoll-
tion and construction, for which the
period of little more than three years
remaining will barely sufiice, have be-
gun and will be vigorously prosecuted.

OPENING THE UTE LANDS.

rected.
Washington. April 12.-The allotted
lands OF the eastern end Of the South
ern Ute Indian reservation in South
west Colorado probably will be opened
TO settlement this summer by presi-
Dental proclamation. Though the al
lotments have been completed, the
question OF opening has been deferred
for long time, owing to what seems
to be conceded to he a grave error In
fixing the 1O7th meridian Of longitude.
Secretary Bliss has now taken action
and has directed the director Of the
geological survey to determine by as-
Economical observation. as soon as the
season permits, the correct location of
the meridian. This work will require
much time and though the date has not
yet been considered. 1t is probable the
opening will be fixed upon Immediate
ly after the submission Of the direc-
tors report. 1t Is claimed and believed
by the authorities that the meridian Is
about five miles too far west and the
variance OF lines involves about 5000
acres, which may inure to the benefit
of the Indians. The meridian proba-
bly, will be established late In May.
