RIVER RATE WAR
At LOUISVILLE
Bio Steamboat Fight on Between
Capt. Kramer and Louisville and
Cincinnati Packet Co.

A steamboat rate war, which prom.
ises TO grow exceedingly warm before
a truce is effected, will be launched
tomorrow, when the steamer Ben-Hur,
owned by Captain John Kramer en-
tiers the Louisville and Cincinnati
trade, says Fridays Louisville Courier
Journal. On her trip down tomor-
row the Ben-Hur will have for her
running mate the steamer Levi j,
Workum. the property of the Louis
vile and Cincinnati Packet company
which will be the opposition boat TO
look after the interests of the packet
company
These steamers. both about the
same size and speed, will ply between
Louisville and Cincinnati. making lin.
tied trips between Cincinnati and
Madison two DAYS of the week, and
through run from Louisville to Gin
cinnati each Saturday. The rate al
ready decided on by Capt. Kramer OF
the Ben-Hur. is seyenty-five cents
from Louisville to Cincinnati, TWEEN
ty.five cents from Louisville to Madi
son. as passenger fare, and nothing is
said Of freight rates.
River men are watching the out
come with keen interest AMI say that
indications are for a lively skirmish.
Il is predicted that the shippers along
the river will be able to get their
goods to either Cincinnati or Louis
vile at almost amy price" during the
''spat." and that the main fight Will
be made on freight rates.
Both steamers are small and speedy
and some lively races with the vari'
Gus landings as a goal, are expected.
Reasons For Competition.
1t Is said that Capt. Kramer has
long had a grievance against the Lou
isyille and Cincinnati Packet com
pany. which he charges with infring-
ing on territory in the up-river trade
which belongs to him. This is the
reason assigned for the entry of the
Ben Hur in the Louisville and Cincin-
natl trade.
The Ben Hur will fight the battle
alone, WIN OuuS dSdih9A nv
regular boats of the Packet company
are lined up against her. and will use
their influence to defeat Capt. Kra-
mer. The Helen Gould, the regular
packet in the Louisville and Carroll
ton trade. will train her guns on the
Ben Hur, and may become more d.
rectly involved in the tight.
Capt. c. c. Fuller. superintendent
of the Louisville and Cincinnati Pack
ct company. denies any knowledge OF
the threatened rate war. but admits
that he has heard it discussed. He
SAYS the Ben Hur is coming into this
trade but so far as he knows no cut
will be made in rates. He says II the
Packet company is going to cut rates
with the Levi ]. Workum. he has not
vet been notified of IL.
The Ben Hur has been running IN
the trade above Cincinnati. with
headquarters at Wheeling. and her
owner. Capt. Kramer. says that Capt
Laidley OF the Louisville and Cincin'
natl Packet company. has been but
ting in" on his territory long enough
and that he is going to give him a
run for his money in this trade.

C. & {. |. CUTS RATES
From Chicago to ST. Louis to Sc For
the Round Trip Until
September I.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean of yes,er-
day says;
''The Chicago & Eastern Illinois
railroad stirred up a hornets nest by
its announcement that it would run
coach excursions every day in the
week until September at the rate OF
S6 from Chicago 70 st. Louis and re-
turn.
All the other Chicago-St Louis
lines are strongly opposed to the plan
of the Eastern Illinois, while many
say its policy if carried out, will
cause decentralization of rates on
passenger traffic to and from the
south, southeast, west. southwest ana
northwest.
'At the close of meeting OF pas
senger officials of western railroads
yesterday /. was announced that in
all probability the Eastern Illinois
will cancel its arrangement to ruE
daily coach excursions to ST. Louis
during August Should it refuse to
do so, the other lines say they viii
be forced to make a rate Of 81 for one
way tickets between here and St
Louis. The regular one way rate is
$3.50. or S150 more than the Eastern
Illinois proposed TO charge for round
trip tickets on it's daily coach excur-
sions.
AT tie opening OF the fair the Mis-
souri, Pacific gave formal notice TO all
railroads that it would make as low
rate between ST. Louis and Kansas
City as any rate made between here
ana st. Louis. This would result in a
rate OF IS from Chicago TO Kansas
City via st. Louis. The regular one
way rate between here and Kansas
City via St. Louis Is SIS, but by the
direc. lines the rate is $3.50. The
Santa Fe system would make a rate
Of So from here TO Kansas City should
other lines make rate of IS via St.
Louis.
"A reduction in the rate 10 Kansas
| City would Immediately result in cor
responding reductions in rates to the
other Missouri river gateways. or 81
to Omaha AMI s. TO 81. Paul The
reduction In rates to 81. Louis would
also affect the rates via the Missis-
sippi and Ohio river gateways
Hence II is plain that If the East
ern Illinois runs daily coach excur-
sions from here to St Louis at a
round trip rate of IS il will result In
general reduction in passenge
rates from Memphis TO the Pacific
coast
1T is possible that a compromise
will be effected whereby all the Chi
cago-St. Louis lines will run coach ex
eursions to St Louis three instead OF
two times a week during the rest OF
this month.
