PAYMENT OF COMMISSIONS.
Subject Given Serious Consideration
by Western Roads

CHICAGO Jan. 1.-THE lines of the
Western Passenger association spent
all of today upon the question of COM
missions. Nothing was done, however,
and the meeting will be resumed to-
morrow. The matter of commissions
has been one of the most important
things the Western roads have now
to deal with. The lines of the Joint
Traffic association and those of the
central passenger committee have for
some time been determined that they
will not pay commissions hereafter
but the Western roads are not of the
same opinion. The Eastern lines some
time ago induced the Western roads
to cease. the payment Of commissions
in Eastern territory. but, after giving
the thing a trial, the Western roads
concluded that it was better for them
to pay the commissions and they are
now doing 1t. At the same time they
acknowledge that the payment of these
commissions is one Of the greatest
sources of decentralization with which
the reads Of the country have to deal.
One proposition submitted at the meet
ing today was that the commission
business should be handled as the
clergy tickets, and all payments should
be made through one source.

It's Policy UnOfticiaIly Outlined Re-
fore the Hamilton Club.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-The seventh annual
banquet of the Hamilton club, on the ami
versary of the birth Of Alexander Hamilton,
was held in the Auditorium tonight. Speakers
of the evening besides President Frank MouI-
ton, of the club, who delivered a short intro
ductory address, were Congressman Robert
Massachusetts,; Page Morris, of Minnesota;
Charles H. Grosvenor, of Ohio; ex-Congress-
man J. Frank Aldrich, Of this city; Joseph V.
Quarles, of Milwaukee, and Charles A. Bou-
telle, of Maine. Mr. Cousins delivered an
eloquent address on Alexander Hamilton"
and aIYdt, Mr. Mccall spoke upon Some Response
cred an address up on the subject of ''Our
Nation" and Gen. Grosvenor spoke at con-
siderable length on Our Next Administra-
ton. His address was in part follows:
The next administration will be a Repub-
ican administration, and it will be founded
upon Republican principles. 1t will be
guided by Republican experience. 1t will
administer the government for the interest
of the entire American people. I speak by no
authority. | reproduce the utterances of no
man. l bind no individual but myself by my
utterances, but | proclaim without qualifca-
ton my faith in the incoming administration.
The enactment of protective tariff policy,
comprehensive, far-reaching, and effective is
the duty of the hour laid upon the Republican
administration, and any hesitation, any halt
ing, any trimming, would be base betrayal of
party obligation and base abandonment of
deal with our foreign affairs from the stand
point of American interests. American
CROWN ana American patriotism. 1t Will not
prostitute its powers to hold upon a throne
in the waters of America a discarded repre-
sentative of a discarded despotism. 1t will
carefully protect the United States from all
embroilments with foreign powers, and it will
do so because standing firmly by the dignity
and history of our nationality. But above
all else the genius of the new administration
will be devoted to the purpose of achieving
the relief of the great industrial population
of our country.

Some Interesting Figures Showing

You talk about the scalping business
being on the wane." said a special agent
last evening to a reporter for the
G O e. II will tell you that the
scalpers are the only people who are
making money. The people who are
travelling are the people who have to
travel There is not much pleasure
riding these times. Every one who is
travelling makes break for the scalp
ers hoping to get reduced rates, and
they will travel on a scalped ticket
and take big chances rather than pay
full fare when they can get out of it.
Speaking of scalping, there is nice
little traffic going on nowadays on the
side. The other day two men came
to me and asked what 1 could do for
them nothing less than the regular
fare. They then informed me that they
knew where they could get tickets for
81. l found out afterWard that the
two men had gone TO Chicago and 1
was informed on what is claimed to
be good authority that certain man
connected with one of the st. Paul
Chicago lines, in lesser capacity, had
sold stub of blank PASSES to a broker
and that for every ticket sold to Chi
cagO, the broker received half and the
passenger employee half"
The agent announced that he would
soon lay the whole matter before the
local passenger association.

wave of subdued excitement and ex-
pectation passing over us just at pres
ent, owing to troops having come down
from the capitol on their way to Corn
island.

General Freight Agent ODER said, yes

check over rates. as there had been
no time to accomplish the work during
the week. 1t Is understood, however,
that other business was also consider

meeting was the action of the inter-
state commerce commission, which has
recently brought pressure to bear upon
the railroads running South from Eau

equalization Of lumber rates. The
commission made an order some four

the rates and arrangements for the
meeting of the Young Peoples Society
Of Christian Endeavor at San Francis

carged that some of the Transconti-

for large parties on the basis of q
fOund-trip rate of $50 between Chicago
and San Francisco. There is some talk
among the roads Of the Western Pas

will compel the society to hold its meet

The matter Will be probed very care
