THE RAILROADS.

Railroads OF the Central Passenger
Association have come to the conclu-
sion that too much is plenty" They
are tired OF victimizing themselves, and
after August they will receive all "ln-
definite" requests for reduced-rate
tickets from railroads with chilliness
that will freeze any possibility Of their
being honored. They win refuse to ex-
lend "courtesles" requested on, the
strength OF account OF this company"
They will demand to know by whom the
tickets are to be used. and others than
regular employees or the members Of
their immediate families will stand no
legitimate chance OF securing the con-
cesslons. Under existing conditions q
railroad desiring to favor q customer or
prospective customer experiences no
difficulty in securing a reduced-rate
ticket on any connecting line. All that
It has to do ls.to make the request "on
account of this company" and the road
on which the requests are made loses
no time in making the concession.
Thousands upon thousands Of such re-
quests are made annually by the roads
OF the country. and the initiative taken
BY the eastern lines is expected to be
followed by roads in other sections of
the country.

Will Husband SURPRISES.

The. policy Of outstanding the large
SURPRISES earned by many Of the cast
ern carriers within the last two or
three years, instead Of distributing
them among the stockholders in the
form Of dividends, apparently has been
settled upon by the directors of the
Baltimore & Ohio. This policy was cd
vocated by ]. J. Hill, president Of the
Great Northern. soon soon after his re-
turn from Europe 4 short time ago. 1t
was the policy agreed to by ]. Plerpon:
Morgan in the case OF the recently de-
clared Northern Pacific dividend, and
| It was the one adhered to by all of the
Vanderbilt directors at their recent
meeting. 1t also has been religious!y
followed by August Belmont and his
associates in dealing with the Louis-
Vile & Nashville dividend. Reports OF
the earnings OF the Baltimore & Ohio
for several months past have shown
such marked increase on remuncrahle
traffic on that system that lIrge num-
Der of Wall street investors and opera
tors have confidently been looking for 4
declaration of n dividend on the sys-
TENS common stock.

Military Rates Cut.


Western passenger managers were
given somewhat OF shock by the in
formation that the Southern had Just
contracted for the transportation Of
about 1000 United States soldiers from
Washington. D. c.. to San Francisco at
4 per capita OF sl4 65. The troops, which
soon will, be moved. will be routed over
the Southern and its connections to St.
Louis, from st. Louis to Pueblo over the
Missouri Pacific, from Pueblo to Ogden
over the Denver & Rio Grande, and
over the Southern Pacific from Ogden
10 the coast city. The action of thu
Southern and other lines Interested In
the movement OF the soldiers Is expect
ed to cause an unprecedented rate war
ON such business. 1t also practically
precludes. according to some railroad
men. the entering into of any agreement
to maintain the normal second-class
tariffs The normal fare from Wash
ington to San, Francisco is about $40
