The Southern Pacifie's Refusal TO Take
Freight.
CHICAGO, April Sth.-The Tribune says
The Southern Pacific has refused to take
freight via the Atchison road for the Pa
ciic coast business, not so much because the
new line was much longer to San Francisco
than by the Union Pacific, but principally
because the Southern Pacific is a Central
Pacific institution, and the Central Pacific
would force all the Pacific business, or as
much of it as it could control, via the Union
Pacific and its main line. Yesterday dis
patches were received here informing the
roads running west from this city that Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe has withdrawn
from all freight traffic for California, Oregon
and Washington Territory. 1t seems that
the new line commenced with q much larger
patronage than was anticipated by the Union
Pacific, and Jay Gould thought it best to
commence bulldozing operations early, and
prevent the new line from achieving any
popularity. Even before the new line was
opened Gould succeeded in forcing it to pool
the California business with the Union Pa
cifc retaining, of course, the lions share for
the latter route; but even the little that was
allowed to the Atchison route Gould thought
was too much, and, as stated above, he has
succeeded in preventing the route from doing
any California or Pacific coast business at
all. 1t appears that Gould comedies to the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe the bulk of
the Arizona business, but as that is direct
and by hundreds of miles the shortest route
to Arizona, this concession does not amount
to much, for Gould could not prevent that
business from going that way if he tried

hearty cheers, hand-clapping and waving of
handkerchief from the sidewalks and win
dows. All the lines are running as usual to-
night.
