The Ha,c situmtion In chicngo.

Chicago. April Notwithstanding the
formation of new agreements for the West
ern Freight association, and the determin-
alton of the strong roads that rates shall
not lie reduced, II is n fact that both
freight and passenger rates are in a de-
cidedly shaly condition. There are many
trai1ic officials who are of the opinion
That the reduction of rates will act as a
saiNenic battery in quickenng business,
aud they are disposed TO try the remedy.
Repeated warnings have been made by the
beard of managers of the joint trahic
association against cutting rates, but this
body Is no longer held In awe since the
decision of the supreme court made its
legal existence a matter OF doubt. There
are traiiic officials On the roads running
cast from Chicago who do not believe That
the joint traffic association has the power
to get them discharged II they do cut rates
ana in the present status of the association
before the law they do not believe that
the association will dare TO use its power
In this direction even II it should pos
srss it,
The advocates of lower rates believe
mat they vii be able to cut their rates
in such a manner that it can be kept from
| tho board of managers Of the freight as
ISOLATION and from tho interstate con-
iherco commission as well. They want
'ho'e business ana think That lower rhles
are the only means Of obtaining it, the
strong lines. which naturally are getting
the heavy portion of whatever business
IS moving. are strongly against any re-
auction In rates and viii make 1t very
warm for amy road that attempts to cut
me rates, The thing is rapidly approach
ing tHe point where the only question be-
tore the advocates of lower rates is wheth-
er they can cut their rates without being
found out II they think that they can
work this they Will not have the slightest
hesitation in cutting both freight and pas
senger rates

AFTER BACHELORS.
Charlotte Smith Says Men Must
Harry -Inaugurates a
Novel Campaign.

1Tew York, Aug. 23.-Charlotte Smith,
president of the Woman's Rescue
league, called on the Central Labor
union to explain her new scheme for
compelling maria geable bachelors to
marry.
She was too late to get the floor, but
she buttOnholed several of the dele
gates. She said she had statistics to
show that there was an intimate con-
uectiou between her scheme and the
labor question The great competition
of women in the field of labor, she held,
was because 50 per cent of the men re-
fused to marry.
She said she was going to Boston to
start a campaign against the Republi-
can and Democratic candidates for
mayor because both of them were bach
elOrs. She did not believe that a bach
elor ought TO hold an elective office, be-
cause no man could possibly act on
questions Of public morality unless he
was married. She was preparing a
pamphlet upon her scheme and intend
ed to show that If bachelors were COM
PEELED to marry and the army of un-
married women were compelled to be-
come housewives and mothers, wages
would go up. Even if all the bachelors
in Greater New York were to marry
there would still be 100, 900 women with
out husba uds.
It is reported from Boston that Mr..
Curtis, the Republican candidate for
mayor OF that city. has already an
nOunced his engagement to younS

was caused by misplaced switch, be-
