CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. A.-General pass
enger agents of the roads interested in
Pacific Coast passenger traffic are in
session at the association rooms In 1.-THE
Rookery." Some months ago the 500
line, Canadian Pacific, gave notice of with
drawal from the Transcontinental Passen-
ger Association because the other roads
refused to allow it a differential rate on
North Pacific Coast rates. With the 500
line out OF the association uniform rates
could not be maintained, and hence efforts
are being made to prevent it from with
drawing.
The other roads are not inclined, how
ever, to grant that road q differential, but
seem to be willing to guarantee certain
percentage of business. The 500 line ex-
pressed Willingness to accept the propo-
sition, but it named a percentage which
the other roads considered out of all pro-
portion. The meeting now in session is
trying to induce the 500 to accept a more
reasonable share of the business.

cross questions and answers, with moth
ing definite resulting therefrom.
Mr.. Blackburn said the close of the SEES
sion was drawing nigh and a conclusion
ought to be reached. The Senate should
know whether it could reach a vote at
this session or whether it would be best
to postpone action until after the 4th of
March. He was in favor of a postpone
ment. as he did not think the Senate
could give the treaty the consideration
the subject demanded at this session.

Gated immediate action. and thought
there was no good reason why Il post
ponement should be had. He believed I,
vote could be taken within the next few
days. unless the senators were deter
mined that the debate should be protract-
ed for the purpose of creating delay.
Mr.. Hoar was supported by Mr.. Sher-
man. who expressed the hope that the
