FAR REACHING EFFECT.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Chicago, ILL.,. Aug. 16.-The announce
ment of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
to run daily coach excursions between
Chicago and ST. Louis for the remainder
OF August alarmed the Western roacs.
Fears were entertained that unless the IS
daily round trip is withdrawn general
generalization in the regular passenger
rates throughout the West will be the re.
suit The giving of s. round-trip rate
between Chicago and ST. Louis. 1t is heic;
would make necessary a one-way rate OF
5, between Chicago and st. Louis, kan-
sas City rates also must be lowered
The Senta Fe announced that II sucn e
rate is made II will insist on the usual
differt nee between the short-line rates TO
Kansas City and the rates via 81. LOUIS; .c
This would bring the rate from ChSaso 70
Kansas CITY down TO S. Such a reduction
in the Kaf sas City rate would involve
the lowering of rates to Omaha and an
Mi.sc,r ri River points to - and the rae
to St. Paul would have to be cut 70 -.
In the same way the rates to Ohio RiVef
points and South would come down.
