It is very evident that the Union Pacific has no intention of uniting with the other western roads in the establishment of a joint emigrant clearinghouse in Xew York or to have tho business equally divided among' the competing roads.

This means continued demoralization in emigrant rates which it will be next to impossible to prevent spreading to other classes of rates. In fact, result in an all-round passenger rate war in western territory, just as soon as World's fair business is got out of the way. Went to tho Launching.
