Merchandise Rates on the Gulf Shore
Amended by the Railway
Commission.
GULF SHORE CASE APPEAL
Push'nc Work on the Georgetown and Gran-
ger—Complaint as to rates on Stone
to Mouth of the Brazos.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 4.—The following ex-
plains itself:
Austin, Tex., lVb. 4.--Mi\ G. G. Clifford,
President and Oenersi-1 Manager San An-
tonio ami Gulf Shore Haiiw.iy, San Antonio,
Tex.—Dear Sir: in reply to your applica-
tion No. 1, (late-i January 30, authority is

WESTERN TRUNK LINES.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 4.—The mission of
Chairman Caldwell to St. Louis, where he
went to induce the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas ai d the Missouri Pacific to become
members of the western trunk'lines, proved
successful. The Missouri Pacific had an-
nounced that it was willing to join if the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas would take
similar action. The latter road has agreed
to join on certain conditions, all of which
will, without doubt, be granted by the
committee lines. The chief conditions im-
posed b> the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
are a committee to be organized to have
jurisdiction over passenger traffic matters
in the southw >t and Texas, and that all
the other southwestern lines be induced to
join the committee. It is believed by the
committee lines that there will be little
trouble over bringing in the southwestern
lines, now that the Missouri, Kansas anil
Texas has expr^.-ed a willingness to join.
It is now practically certain that the
Union Pacific will become a nu mber of
the w 'stern trunk line association.
The change in *he attitude of the Union
Pacific produced, a corresponding change in
the sentiments of the Northern Pacific,
and there seems to be no longer any rea-
son why the Union Pacilic should remain
outside the committee.
GALVESTON, LAPORTE AND HOUSTON
Major J. Waldo of Houston, president of
the La Porte, Houston and Northern, which
hopes to be known as the Galveston, La
Porte and Houston after the legislature has
consented to the consolidation, was in the
city yesterday in company with Mr. Isaac
Heffron, third vice president and general
manager. The major was here incidentally
to see about getting an ordinance through
the city council granting his road right of
way over avenue B in order to reach their
freight depot grounds and terminal facil-
ities. and generally to talk over his road
and its prospects with Galvestonians.
The major is enthusiastic over his line.
He says that 850 tons of material has ar-
rived in Houston and the contractors will
start to-day to complete the two gaps of
live miles between Houston and La Porte.
They expect to finish this work by the 15th
of next month at the latest and have trains
running.
The contract for the entire line from Gal-
veston to Houston, including the bridge
across the bay and other bridges which it
will be necessary to construct, has been
awarded to L. J. Smith of Kansas City.
The contract provides that the entire line
shall be completed by August 1 of the pres-
ent year.
ACCUSED OF PAYING COMMISSIONS.
One of the east bound lines, says the Chi-
cago Herald, is accused of having resumed
the payment of commissions. The charge
has not yet been substantiated, but enough
proof has been found so that competitors
have been reluctantly compelled to believe
the charge is well founded. The amount
alleged to be paid is $3 on tickets from Chi-
cago to New York, the evidence so far be-
ing that it is paid only to one well known
steamship agent. If the charge is fully sub-
stantiated it will put a responsibility on the
guilty line which a much stronger line
could ill afford to bear. For one month
rates have been absolutely maintained. As
noted yesterday this maintenance added
5125,000 to the net earnings of the east
bound lines with a certainty that if con-
tinued during the year the increase would
amount to $2,000,000, or more than 20 per
cent of the net passenger traffic. Any line
which voluntarily breaks an agreement so
profitable to its members is very apt to
lose caste with financiers.
SEPARATE COACH LAW.
Louisville, Ky., Feb. l.-A special to the
Courier-Journal from Owensboro, Ky.,
says: Under peremptory instructions from
Judge Carr to-day, the jury in the federal
court found a verdict for one cent and
costs against the Louisville and Nashville
railroad company in the separate coach
case. The suit was brought by the Rev.
\\. H. Anderson, colored, of Evansville,
Ind., for $15,000, but was really to test the
separate coach law of Kentucky. Judge
Carr's instructions left the jurv only to
determine the amount of damages. The
jury at first disagreed, nine standing for
one cent, one for $1500, one for $1000, and
one for $30.
Immediately on filing of the verdict the
road's attorneys gave notice of an appeal
to the supreme court.
TRINITY AND SABINE.
Colmesneil, Tyler Co., Tex., Feb. 3.—The
Trinity and Sabine road changed its time
table to-day, the passenger train now ar-
riving here at 1 p. m. and departing west
at 1.40 p. m. By this change connection is
made at Trinity with the International and
Great Northern south bound passenger of
mornings and its north bound passenger of
evenings. The Trinity and Sabine west
bound passenger connects with the south
bound Houston East and West Texas pas-
senger at Corrigan as heretofore and per-
mits passengers from both north and south
or here on the Sabine and East Texas road
to get out on the west bound Trinity and
Sabine train.
GEORGETOWN AND GRANGER.
Georgetown. Williamson Co., Tex., Feb.
2.—A contractor with teams and 100 hands
arrived at Neyser yesterday and with that
force will begin the work of grading this
way on the Georgetown and Granger road.
J' ifteen or twenty bridge contractors
started out from here to-day with Chief
Lngineer O'Neal to go over the entire line
from this place to Trinity to determine as
to the amount of bridging to be done pre-
paratory to making estimates for bids on
the work. Manager M. P. Kelley says that
steps are being taken to extend the road
from Trinity to Sabine Pass.
ADVANCE GUARD.
Houston, Tex., Feb. 4.-A special train,
containing 200 negroes of all ages, sexes
and conditions, arrived here this morning
over the Southern Panific from New Or-
leans. These negroes are from Alabama,
and are said to be of a large number of
colored people who, under the Ellis « deni-
zation scheme, will exodus from that state
to Mexico this winter and next spring.
Most all of them were small, scrubby ne-
groes, anfi many of them were badly clad
and in bad shape generally.
RATES ON STONE.
Austin, Tex., Feb. 4.—Complaint has been
made by W. M. D. Lee of the rates on
etone from Quarry and Clay stations on the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railway and
from Muldoon on the San Antonio and
Aransas Fa**, to tha niouUa of Uie Brazos. 1
It is charged that rates on tfcone from the
points named for the Jet lies at the mouth
of the Brazos are excessive compared to
the rates from the same points to Galves-
ton for the jetty work there. The commis-
sion lias set Friday next at 11 o'clock as the
time to hear all parties interested.

Houston, Tex., Feb. 4.—On account of the

round trip. For this occasion tickets will

ited to continuous passage in each direc-
tion, with final limit for return until Feb-
ruary 28.
RATE WAR THREATENED.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 4.—A rate war,
growing out of the emigration of negroes
to Mexico, is threatened. The Kansas City,

to kick over the traces.

had made to Sabine Pass and he had noth-
ing to guide him but his chart. The steam-
ship Jaederen sailed from Sabine Pass Sat-

NEW YORK SPECIAL.
Secrecy Regarding the New Loan
Sent Stocks Tumbling in New
York and Liverpool.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EASIER.
Gold Continues to Be Returned to Treasury.
Stocks Steady and Bonds Quiet—Cotton
Touched Lowest Mark ol the Season.
New York, Feb. 4.—(Special.)—Atchison In
December had a net Increase of $156,000;
six months, $2,137,000 decrease. Interna-
tional, fourth week January Increased $34,-
0C0; month, $89,000. Report says London
will not refuse to pay the 10 per cent as-
sessment on Atchison and that the pre-
ferred stock given In exchange will be
held.
The absurd secrecy regarding the pro-
posal rtew loan caused disappointment in
London and sent stocks down in that mar-
ket as well as New York at the opening
\:/u2 per cent, Union Pacific sustaining the
severest decline (8V4), Its fall bflng acceler-
ated by the defeat of the funding bill. But
about 1 p. m., on the announcement that
the Messrs. Rothschilds, Seligmans and
Morgans had agreed to place $50,000,000
fours abroad at 107, and perhaps $100,000,000
more, was a stiffening up in stocks, with
London appearing as a buyer, notably of
Louisville and Erie.
The foreign exchanges opened easier and
semi-demoralized. Double name sterling
sixties selling as low as $4.86% but they
stiffened up later to $4.87 bid, as did the
whole market, short being wanted at $4.88%
and cables at $4.88%, all net. Nor did the
firmness give way when the bond agree-
ment transpired, from which It was In-
ferred that the bonds were to be tied up
for a certain period and that the proceeds
would be received direct in gold. This
would seem to be confirmed by the fact
that Belmont was not drawing bills, while
their nominal quoted counter rate was one
cent above Brown's. Lazard Freres, usu-
ally large drawers, were liberal buyers of
bills and called the market firm. They re-
turned $550,000 additional gold to the treas-
ury this afternoon. Very little can be pre-
dicted as to the immediate future of ex-
change until the details of the expected
foreign takings of bonds are officially
known, .and it must be remembered that
the bonds are not yet issued, and congress
Is yet to be heard from as to whether it
will do anything on the president's recom-
mendations.
Stocks were not yet up to the best in
final dealings, but the market was quite
steady, especially so when it is considered
that the short interest is well out.
Bonds quiet. Fort Worth, 70; Missouri,
Kansas and Texas fours, 79%; seconds, 44%;
Atchison fours, 64%.
Bar silver more active; sales, 300,000
ounces at 60%c.
Cotton closed 4 points lower on the Liver-
pool advices, the decline at New Orleans
and the whopping receipts expected there
to-morrow compared with last year. May
sold off to 5.49c, the lowest of the season,
and closed there. Speculatively the mar-
ket is dead on both sides; It merely drifts.
W. C. Torey of, Texas, J. E. Henderson
and D. E. Grove of Dallas, C. W. Ogden
and wife and Colonel Alek Moore of San
Antonio are here.
THE POST'S LONDON CABLE.
New York, Feb. 4.—The Evening Post's
London cablegram says: Americans opened
weak to-day and declined on a less san-
guine view taken here about the negotia-
tions of the new loan. On this subject
there is a pessimistic letter in the Finan-
cial Times by Lawson. The virtual defeat
of the Pacific funding bill assisted the de-
cline. There was a sharp rally at the
close all round. Much uncertainty still
exists about the expected loan, the situa-
tion apparently being that the leading
financiers here are awaiting a decision
from Washington as to the terms of the
issue. Only a small amount of gold went
into the Bank of England to-day. because
some holders are keeping back supplies on
the possible chance of an American de-
mand. The general markets were good.
Consols were better. The Paris bourse is
becoming buoyant again with a rise on all
the Paris specialties.
NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
New York, Feb. 4.—There was no settled
demand in any direction, though a good
number of buyers was present. Inquiries
were for a fall class of goods and though
business was done it was disproportionate
to the attention extended. There was a
good showing of order business from sales-
men on thf road, mostly for duplicates of
former purchases, which show that jobbers
have been selling many goods. Printing
cloths quiet at 2 9-16c.
GRAIN VISIBLE.
New York, Feb. 4.—The visible supply of
grain Saturday February 2, as compiled
by the New York produce Exchange is as
follows: Wheat, 83,376,000 bushels; decrease,
1,289,000 bushels. Corn, 12,720,000 bushels; in-
crease, 60,000 bushels. Oats, 7,083,000 bush-
els; decrease, 32,000 bushels. Barley, 1,796,-
000 bushels; decrease, 275,000 bushels.
"PUTS AWD CALLS."
Chicago, 111., Feb. 4.—In the vote to-day
on the resolution to bar "puts and c^lls"
•trading on the board of trade, the resolu-
tion was lost by a close vote. The ballot-
ing created unusual Interest on the board
and up >to the time the ballots were count-
ed it was thought that the "puts and calls"
would be discontinued.
•LONDON WOOL AUCTION.
I,on don. Feb. 4.—At the wool auc tion
sales to-day the assortment offered was
generally poor. The bidding was spiritless
excepting for superior greasles and scoured
wools. All mediums were very dull. York-
shire was a free buyer of cross-breds. The
number of bales offered was 13,221, of which
2000 were withdrawn. The following are the
