diMdVAtitneo tinder which Onlveston is la

an application stoned by President AUoue
of the Maritime aoioelallcirj for tha itnma
dlaio promulgation of an emergency rato
of 51 cents per 100 pouuds on cotton ftoui
common point torriiory to Galveston In
justlllcnllon of sdM rate M r Adouo alle es
and Messrs Jlollcrmid Denlson tUclnrtt that
Ufcscls ure dally loaditiB tt Sablho Pass for

12000 bales of cotton from that Dorr to
Liverpool at GO cents per ton bialior than
tho OalVcston shlpbroUirs can tloid to
pay becatibe tho Statu Tall rato Is G cuntsi
lower to Sabine Pass than to GiilreUon
In conclusion Mr AttoutS wntts Vou arc
further rcsiieetfilllv rtutiCMttd to take no
tice ot tho fact that the prccnt tuto on
compreised coilon nom Galveston to Ntvv
York la lii cents ti r 100 pounds la very

par 100 pounds 10 cuualUe The eseuse of
the Ssuuthcrn Pacific for inaUinR tho rate of
li eents from Houston u > New York v aa
that a lliifont rate nrovailed fiom ttat
veston and tbe dlfieicutiil pf i cents w tb
added flits
reason no leaser elbts for
since the Slh l Jnimnrv the rate from Gal
vciton haa not been less than ISVi cents
and If tho Intention of the Southern Pa-
cific whs to maintain the dlrfotentlnl of B
cents their present rato fiom Houston
should bo 21 conLs tier 100 uounds This
action on tbeir nart 1 think ouly coes to
prove that their dublro is to drive out nil
competition both foieigit and domestic as
upon the same urlnclulo thev could malto
tho rate from Houston 5 cents per 10U
pounds and absorb the difference out of
tho earnlntts of their auxiliary rail lines
The only relief wo can liooa for rests with
you to so adjust tho rates thai the tom
binatiou thtouRh Houstou aud Galveston
shall make tho same rate
Messrs Moller and Denlson lied th
toroKolng with tho undeistandlnK that if It
h promptly acted upon thov will nfiroe
to postponement of the hearing tet for
February 11 to consider tlio question of
equalizing rates in and from tile differ-
ent Tevan ports until the matter < if revlslnc
Uie cotton tariff In Kenoral It takcti up
which will probably he in March The mat-
ter of compicbS leKUlatiotis will oIfo in all
likelihood he tonslderod at Oils mospeothe
meeting as It it understood that an nppn
cntion for another hearinc on that subject
will noon bo made
Mr Moller talked Ions and earnestly to-
day in bitpport of Mr Adones application
and asserted that the Southern Pacirto iajs
attention neither to tha Now Oloans dif-
ferential nor to tho insurance difteientlal
That lino he assorted Is liaullne totton
from Housion to Now Oilcans for I cents
per 100 pounds and oven takes cotton ftom
Teas common points to Alalers fpr less
than GO cents which Is the Galveston rale
Warming uu to his subject ho afserled
rxttst positively that the Morgan aud Mnl
lory steamship lines are both controlled by
Huntington ami that the Mallorys are sim
iy mpanaglng tlie latter whilo n truth
Huntington mvns tho majority of its fctocl
According to his Infcrniation tho Morgan
lino brings freight for Texas common points
via Now Orleans for less than it ni bring
it to Galveston whilo tho Mallory liuo
brings Ik to the same points for less than
It will bring It to Ualvcston so that Gal-
veston gets thi wcrat of it both on out
fcound and Incoming freight rtnd otber
rail lines than those controlled bv Hunting-
ton are parties to the alleged discrimina-
tion against Galvrston ho knew their re-
ward for their conclusion belli tho big end
of the rate on till cotton for New Orleans
they turn oyer to the Huntington lines ut
Junction points
Going further Into details Mr Mollor
reached tho into on cotton for ihlmntsnt to
Japan On tills he nsspitcd that the Hoas
ton and Texas Crntrnl sels but 15 Cents
per 100 pounds as Its division and he in-
formed the commission that ho proposed to
apply for a rato of 15 coma per 100 Pounds
plus the Houston differential to Galveston
on rotton for the Japattes market much
of whleli is now movini throuch Galveston
Dropping Japan rotton rather abruptly
Mr Moller concluded with tho rather sen-
sational statement that we propos to
got nftcr tho Soithern Pnclllc lines In tho
courts In the near future and that wo
would like to bo furnished with the c l
denco used bv tho Stato In mulcting paid
