from a trip to New York, where they at
tended a meeting of the conference com
mittee of the Southeastern Passenger AS
ISOLATION. The meeting, the Savannah rep

the transaction of business of a routine
character. The matter of differential rates
between Georgia points in the interior and
the eastern cities and returning were CON
sidered. 1t is said this was not a particu-

differentialS had been reached before and
it only remained for the committee to eff
feet an adjustment of the rates. This was
done without trouble, the meeting being
harmonious. The application made some
time ago and granted the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company for
