PACIFIC ROW.
: Rumors Of a renewal OF the war" be
tween the railways west of the Missouri
river have been rife for two or three day
past. 1t has been very positively affirmed
Iha, the agreement under which the Uniol
Pacific aid Kansas Pacific were but recent
ly consolidated is being utterly disregarde,
by both parties 10 the compact, and the two
roads are again competing tor the transpor
tstion Of the Colorado traffic at The best Oh
tainable rates. the rumors are probably
exaggerated iu 70 lar a. they relate to the
agreement between the Pacific roads.
| THERE Is No EVIDENCE
that the compact has actually been broken,
although there is information Of nature
emitting il TO credit whi1n shows that the
arrangements Of the two lines are not en-
tirely harmonious, and suggests, II it does
not justify the suspicion, lhst they would
not be working to- ether at ali Il they were
not largely bound by tie agreement refer
red TO. But the trouble that has furnished
the occasion for u,ost oi The current talk is
between the two P.cIlic railroads, on the
one hand, ard the Aichishn, Topeka and
Santa Fee On the other. The last-named
road and the r ausas Pacific
HAVE RARkLI BEEN AT PEACE
with each other since the newer route was
opened to Pueblo. Last spring the compe-
tition between them wa1ed 50 hot that mer-
ehandise was hauled across the plans at
any rate the shipper had the cheek to de-
Iiand, and before peace could be patched
up, the Union Pacific, which had large
interest at stake, was dragged into the fight.
The existing trouble appears to have dated
from the day the Atchison, Topeka 4 San
Ia Fe road was completed to FL Moro,
which is the principal competitive point in
Southern Colorado. 1t is claimed that tariff
rates TO that place are entirely ignored, and
that the decentralization is likely to spread
to other points; indeed, some cutting on
business destined to Denver has been re-
ported, and Is apparently well founded.
THE REAL BATTLE
is being fought in New York, with the diff
ferent contracting agents as the beiligerents
and principally over freight destined to
points in New Mexico. Mr.. Nolan repre-
sents the Pacific roads, and Mr.. Malcolm the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. They loom
up as the chief combatants in the fight. So
far the cutting has apparently been
confined to the Kansas Pacific
and Atchison. Topeka Il Santa Fe, but
with Mr. Nolan representing both the Kansas
Pacific and Union Pacific, the latter will be
forced TO take hand in the row ii a sus-
pension Of hostilities is not speedily declar-
ed, and such thing ia hot generally anti
cipated. 1t remains TO be seen
WHAT EJECT THIS RUMPUs
between the Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe
and the Kansas Pacific will have upon the
agreement .,etween the last named road and
the Union Pacific. 1t is surmised by 10 2
lew that Gould has provoked the fig .
order to have al excuse for abrogatiug the
compact between the Pacific roads, but this
is merely wild speculation. The trouble
has been the occasion OF great deal Of
and al! the roads running in
connection with the trans Missouri lines
are very eager Tor information.
THEY WON'T ENGAGE.
The roads embraced in the Southwestern
Railway association and also the Iowa pool
are resolved not to be drawn into the fight
between the lines competing for Colorado
and New Mexico business. They were led
to take part in the last struggle between
their western connections and they have
it ever since. II they s,eadiastly
refuse to bear their share Of reduced
through rates from New York, and insist on
full, arbitrary tarit on all freight destined
to the far west, the war" will be OF short
duration.
