TfiAIN AND TRACK TALK, TROUBLE LIKELY TO ARISE FROM CHICAGO RATES TO TEXAS- Kunared chaugas In thti of Loulsvllli, Hiw and Chleaco Xoad-- Varlcus AMoolatUas Bssslon. CDICAOO, Murcli ia-- Lines interested in tho Texas traffic at point are on the verge of a row. Some time ago the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul askud authority to make tho same rates from Milwaukee on this business that were la cfloct from Chicago.

Roads in tho Interest finally agreed to do this, not by changing the through rsta but by Increasing their proportions from Chicago to St. Louis, thus raising the basis to that In forco from Mil- waukon. The Chicago and Alton stood out against this measure for some time, on the ground that It would bo unjust to Chicago shippers, but it ultimately yielded for the sake of harmony. It now transpire that tbo Chicago, Milwaukee nd Bt. Paul tbos becoae dissatisfied with tbe arrangement and wunts to abrogate the agreement.

The causo of this cbaugo of heart Is alleged to bo tho opening of Atchi son's new lino between Chicngo and St. Louis and tho making of rules for Texas traffic lower than, the agrsed basis. 'Ihe Alton lioople uro Indignant at tbe attitude of tho Milwaukee- and St. Paul and threaten that if It withdraws from tho agreement t'ley will resiorothe Chlcauo differential as aealnsc Milwaukee returning to tbo former basis of divisions. A meeting is to be held at the earliest possible data to consider the situation and take steps to avert the threatened trouble.
