THE WAR.
New YORK, Dec. 5.-The railroad war is
no nearer settlement than it was week
ago, and it looks as though the genercl pub
lie would not be fully confident until they
see some more definite prospect of peace.
Gould explains that charges in the freight
rates TO points in Texas and Louisiana apply
only to freight between these points
and East st, Louis. The Cairo Short Line
and southern connection, the Chicago, st.
Louis & New Orleans railroad, are carrying
freight from st. Louis and points common
thereto, into Texas and Louisiana.
Gould having located his stock yards,
freight depot and other terminal facilities
for the Missouri Pacific system in East
st. Louis, says the freight rates of st. Louis
proper have merely been extended to East
st. Louis, where large part of the manu-
featuring establishments of st. Louis
proper are located, and that as the Missouri
Pacific system has lease of the st. Louis
bridge this is merely the ignoring of bridge
tolls for freight.
PoRTERs VIEWS.
CHICAGO, Dec. The following state
ment, containing the clearest expression of
Mr.. Porters views and intentions respect
ing the railroad war which has yet, been
printed, comes from gentleman closely
associated with him, and is authorita-
tive: IT the St. Paul road or its
company, build new lines to
points in the territory of the ST. Paul d
Omaha road, thus making such points
the st. Paul & Omaha line
able rates, and will decline to pool from
any points with the st. Paul road.
Mr.. Porter has no objections whatever to
the building Of legitimate and necessary
lines, but does object to railroads being
built by construction companies in the in
terest of the Milwaukee & st. Paul officials
and directors, into territory where no Sec
ond line is needed, and where there is not
business enough to support one line and
selling such new lines to the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St, Paul road at an i'm
mense profit over their cost and then de-
business be pooled. Such in
building of railroads
is of no benefit to the country; on the other
hand, it is a positive injury. 1t destroys
the confidence of the people in railroad Sc
curities and ultimately brings with it finan-
cal disaster, panic, etc., and, at the same
time, necessarily increases the cost of trans
portation.
