CUTS OFF COMMISSIONS.
Baltimore & Ohio Puts a New Rule
Into Eject.


The Baltimore & Ohio has issued cir
cular, copies Of which were received in
St. Paul yesterday, stating that after date
no commissions will be paid by that
road in passenger business for any kind
or description The receipt Of the cir
cular In st. Paul passenger offices occa-
stoned considerable surprise 1t has been
the custom for years for agents routing
over their own lines and making connec-
lions and routing through over foreign
lines to receive commissions on
the business which they were
able to throw On all immigrant
business, steamship business and tourist
business the same rules applied.
The action Of the Baltimore & Ohio
is thought to have resulted from the
usual annual stiffening in rates. It has
been customary for some time to brace
up rate conditions through the holidays
and for some few weeks afterwards. No
tees have already been received by To-
cal steamship men that no commissions
will be paid hereafter on business east
of Chicago.
