FIGHTING OVER RATES.
Railroad OmciaIs h New York Ex-
 pressing Concern.


 New York. July 25.-Railroad off, cials here express considerable con- cern over the passenger rate war which is now in progress between Chicago New York lines. Several of the roads already have put into effect a rate of $16 first-class from Chicago to New York One of the routes Is charging only 314 and further reductions are threatened.
 The trouble originated in demands made by the Michigan Central for a difrerential This demand was consid- cred by three arbitration commission CTS a short time ago and was allowed with certain limitations. The Erie and the Grand Trunk, however. de- clined to accept the arbitration as final. The two roads insisted that the Michigan Central had no right to claim a differential rate on through business in which the New York Gen. tral shared. The Erie interests de- clare that they would not object to al- lowing a differential to the Michigan Central on it's own lines, but beyond that point they will concede nothing. As a result of the decision of the ar bitrators, the Michigan Central put in a differential rate of SIS first-cla ss passenger cars from Chicago to New York. This reduction was promptly met by three other lines and 1t is inti- mated that a flat rate of $10 may soon be given.
