NEWS OF RAILROADS
FRICTION OVER RATES.
Central and Western Passenger As
kOciatiOns Disagree.


Friction continues between the Central
and Western Passenger associations
over the use Of each otner'S reduced eX-
cursion rates as basing rates.
q request made by the Western roads
that their Eastern connections use as
basing rates the reduced rates they have
announced to Colorado and Utah points
from Aug l to 10 and from Sept. l to
10, has called forth from the chairman
Of the Central Passenger association a
statement TO the effect that his roads,
after a fun discussion of the matter,
reached the decision that they did not
care TO participate in the business. The
Western roads, on the other hand, have
three times voted down a proposition to
use as basing rates the low rates ten
dered them by the Central roads as home
visitors to points in Ohio and Indiana.
y reciprocity treaty between the two
associations in the matter of the use of
each others reduced rates as basing
rates mas been suggested. 1t is proposed
that the chaiTmen of the assoc .attonS
meet and arrange the treaty. Much fric-
ton exists now over the matter, each
set of roads feeling aggrieVed at the re-
fusal of the other to accept its tender
of reduced rates as bas-ng rates.
More reduced excursion rates in west
ern territory are suggested. The roads
interested are now considering the selling
rate of one fare plus 50 from now until
July 81, inclusive. From Aug. ! to 10 1t
IS proposed to put in a rate to these
points of SO per cent of regular one-way
rates for the round trip, with a m n mum
rate Of S. and from Aug. II to 81 a re-
turn is to be made to the rate of one fare
Plus 81 for the round trip.

KILLING OF ITALIANS.
Report of Governor of mississippi
Transmitted to ItaIinn Chnrce

Report of Governor of mississippi
Transmitted to Italian Charge.
WASHINGTON, July A.-Acting secre-
tary Hill today dispatched to the Italian
charge here, Count Carignani, q copy of
the report of Gov. Longino. of Missis-
sippi, upon the recent killing of Italians
at Erwin.
The governor says that it has not vet
been determined whether the Italians
were naturalized citizens of the United
States or not.
After receiving news of the outbreak
he Immediately sent the sheriff of Wash
ington county, in which county the af-
fair took place, to the spot, and on the
second day the governor went there in
person and learned that every endeavor
was making to discover and punish the
guilty parties.
The citizens Of Washington county. the
governor says, condemn the outrage and
he assures the state department, and re-
quests that the assurance be commune
Gated to the Italian government, that ev-
cry proper effort is being made to bring
the lynchers to justice.
A study Of the governors report makes
1t appear that after all the question of
the nationality of the murdered Italians
Will not be the principal issue in the in
curry The governor apparently leans
strongly to the belief that there was no
real lynching, but that the affair was
a simple, assassination, and that the men
were not killed because they were ItaI-
lans, but because of a. tribal quarrel
should this view be sustained by the in
quiry now in progress, the case at once
Will lose its international aspect.
