W’aco, June 9.—A resolution was
t as-^ed by the city commissioners this
atternoon calling upon the Brazos Val-

companies operating in this city to

; radical way to connect and gonsoli-
c3s‘e their exchange service. Among
Jja’-er reasons contained in the resolu-
of the commissioners for a con-
solidation of the two companies, it was
v iaimed the present condition necessi-
tated a large unnecessary expense to
the people of Waco and was a contin-

New York, June 9.— The Ward
liner, Antilla, laden with ammunition
for the Mexican constitutionalists,
will discharge her cargo at Tampico
early tomorrow, without interference,
according to the opinion expressed to-
day by A. 'G. Smith, vice president
and general manager of the Ward
Line company. Mr. Smith’s state-
ment is in fiat contradiction of Wash-
ington dispatches and other reports
that the Washington administration
had prevailed upon the line’s officers
to stop voluntarily the discharge of
the ammunition. Mr. Smith said he
had received no instructions from
Washington, but any instructions
would be obeyed.
The manufacturers of the ammuni-
tion on the Antilla said today that it
was sold f. o. b. New York and that
title passed when the last box of cajrti-
ridges was loaded into the steamship’’?
