London, Oct. 1.-THE liberals have
parliamentary general election than
they did in the borOughs. Tuesday
they gained two more seats. Cardiff
and the Otley division of Yorkshire

ministerialists and opposition have
now gained 27 seats each. Apart from
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerma S re
duced majority in the Stirling

of special interest in Tuesdays re

ON THE RAIL.


During the next two or three months
passenger travel in the entire west
will be very cheap. The big railway
systems operating between Chicago
and the Pacific coast have become in
vOlved in a quarrel over through rates
that promises to reduce fares between
the central and far west lower than
they have been in years. Recently
the Great Northern company an
nounced that it would operate weekly
what it termed loW-rate "settlers' ex-
cursions" between Chicago and points
in Montana, Idaho and Washington
The fares announced are lower than
the cheapest rates that have been
charged for long distances west of
Chicago in years. In giving notice OF
the cuts General Passenger Agent
Whitney Of the Great Northern says
that they are put in for the purpose
named-that is, to settle the fertile,
uninhabited districts of the far west
contiguous to this line. AS a matter
of fact, however, President Hill of the
Great Northern has put in the rates as
much for the purpose of retaliating
against the lines leading from Chicago
directly west through Omaha and Kan.
sas as for settlement of lands. During
the last summer the latter roads have
had in effect bimonthly cheap excur-
sion rates between Chicago and Colo
RADIO and Utah points. These excur-
sions were great successes and took
thousands of fasteners into the Rocky
mountain country They have done
more for Missouri river territory
than anything that has been attempted
in the line of development during the
last ten years. While the people have
been swarming to Colorado and Utah,
Mr.. Hill has been surprisingly quiet.
1t is now plain, however, that he was
waiting until the Colorado and Utah
excursions were out of the way before
he showed his hand Now that direct
lines have finished with their cheap
rate of fares Mr.. Hill is going to have
little fun in the north. The rates he
has announced are much lower than
those that have been in effect between
Chicago and Colorado and Utah. The
lines operating directly west from Chi
mayo, however. are not going to allow
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific to get the best of them. AS soon
as the Northern's rates were an
nounced general passenger agents of
the direct western roads met in Chi
cago and agreed to meet the low fares
via Omaha and Kansas City. To just
what extent the Great Northern com
petition will be met is not yet known
but passenger agents of some of the
direct western lines say that equally
low if not lower fares will be quoted
from Chicago to the north Pacific
coast via Omaha and Kansas City.
