New England Passenger Association. In
cluded in the gathering were representa-
tives from the Canadian Pacific, Atchisou,
Chicago g. Northwestern, Chicago, Rock

The longlstanding troubles over railroad
rates was the question which. the confer

months the so-called standard and differ
entail lines have been cutting rates to
the West and points on the Pacific slope.
The New England Passenger Association
has been the one to cut rates.
The cut rates are via Montreal, and are
$3.50 from Boston to Colorado common
points, $3.50 from Boston to California
common points, and $33.70 from Boston to
Pacific coast points. The contest all day
today centered on the refusal of the differ
entail lines out of Boston to abandon the
authorized schedule. Without reaching
any practical result the conference adj
journed to meet at 10 a. m. Monday next,
at the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria, New York.

hound FOR DELAGoA BAY.


NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The steamship
Sabine. Capt. Thomas, will leave this port
this morning, bound for Delagoa hay. with.
definite information could be obtained from
her commander, 1t is believed that she has
on board an immense quantity Of provis-
ions, arms and ammunition, army blank
cts and general supplies for the British
army in the Transvaal.
A rumor to the effect that the Norwegian
steamship Thordis had been chartered by
Edward Perry & Co., through Bennett,
Walsh & Co., to carry munitions to the
British army In South Africa, was denied
by both Mr.. Perry and Capt. Bennett.
There is absolutely no truth In the
rumor," said Mr.. Perry. 1--WE have char
tered the Thordis for our regular trade,
which is exclusively with China and
any description to either army"
Inquiry at the British consulate failed
to throw any light on the destination OF
either the Sabine or Thordis.
