WAR ON KLONDIKE RATES.
Not Much Chance Now That 1t Can
BE Avoided by the Western
Roads.

CHICAGO, Feb. There seems to be
very little chance Of avoiding a war
on Alaska rates between the Canadian
Pacific on one side and all the trans
continental roads and those of the
Western Passenger association on the
ether. The Western roads met today
for the purpose of considering rates to
Alaska, and invited the Canadian Pa
cific to be present That road declined
and after some discussion a resolution
was adopted by the meeting, to the
effect that the only thing under the
circumstances was to learn just what
the Canadian Pacific demanded before
it would meet with the Western roads.
This plan was adopted and telegram
was sent to General Passenger Agent
McNicoll, Of the Canadian Pacific ask
ing that he inform the meeting speci-
f1calIy what his line desired before it
would discuss the Alaska matters.
The reply Of Mr. McNfcoll will be, as
all the Western roads understood at
the time Of sending the message, in
the line of his message of yesterday
when he declared that he could not at
tend the meeting unless the Western
roads withdrew their excessive commits
