 One of the leading passenger officials who attended the meet ing of the commission said last evening that it was considered better not to bring up the pas senger rate just at the time that the freight tariff is being dis cussed.

4 MYSTERIOUS ACTION.
The Reason for the Railroads Refusing to File Its Scent Schedule Not Known.

Little Rock, Oct 9.--FOr some p,vsterious reason the leading nassenger officials of the five trunk lines tailed to file their new three-cent passenger sched- ule with the Arkansas Railroad commission yesterday morning although they came to this city with the specific intention of doing so.
 When they appeared before. the Arkansas Railroad Commission for the hearing which they mad rcouested they said that they had not fully completed their new schedules and that it would take several days more to get them into shape. After a confer once of jess than five minutes they set Thursday October 15. AS the day when they would file the new passenger tariff This delay does not mean, it was learned on authority, that the roads at a late hour contemplat- ed putting a rate less than three cents a mile. Several of the roads have already printed their schcd ule in complete form at the three cent rate
 The railroad commissioners a. ware that the roads intend to have this high rate, are tat a loss to know why the tariff W as not filed and are particularly mystiried that these officials come from Kansas City, St. Louis and Memphis merely to tell the commission that the schedule was wholly prepared. This the com m5Ssioners point out could have been done just as well by letter.
 The railroad representatives themselves will not explain of- ficially what led them to come way down to Little Rock in per
