THE RAILROADS.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Western roads are
considering a proposition to discontinue
the practice of granting reduced rates for
officers Of volunteer regiments returning
from the Philippines. The proposition
has been made on the ground that the
officers are mustered out Of
service at San Francisco, thereby becom-
in gprivate citizens, and not entitled 10
reduced rates to points east of the Cali
fornia metropolis. The proposition has
not met with favor by several passenger
officials who believe that even in view of
the fact that the officers technically are
returned to the ranks of private citizens
in San Francisco, they are entitled to re-
duced rates as much as if they were still
IN the government service when they
started for the east. The matter is to be
definitely settled by next Tuesday. There
is an impression that the proposition will
be VOt ed down.
