The Atohison, Topeka aud Santa Fe
railroad company has issued a circular
announcing that it will transport through
California freight in connection with the
Southern Pacific from Kansas City,
Atchison or Denver without breaking
bulk. Owing to the close relations of
the Atchison with the Burlington it is
thought ths latter company will be in
cluded in the through car service by the
southern route. as opposed to the Union
Pacific and its four Omaha allies. The
presence of Mexican Central oiilcials in
Chicago gives rise to the statement that
close relations are being arranged be.
tween the Burlington, Asohison, Topeka
and Santa Fe aud Mexican Central roads
for Mexican traffic.

The following facts regarding the |
of the Rock Island and
frcm the Northwestern
and Central Iowa Traffic associations,
have been elicited> The
notice of withdrawal givea by the Rock |
Island was because tue traffic agreement
prevented it doing business
between Chicago and saltwater. Duluth
and the Black Hills. Other roads IN the
Northwestern Traffic association coald |
reach these points without going through |
st. Paul, while the RICK Island aud !
could not. While four roads !
IN the ASSOCIATION we're w,lAse that the
principle OF zone out, all out" conceded
n all other associations. should prevail
n this, the Northwestern objected and
held to the letter Of the contract. The
'nly way out OF the difficulty was to give
notice of withdrawal aud form a Dew
permitting the Rock Island and
Burlington to. do business to the above
ooluts. which could easily have been &C.
within thirty days. The :
anne day, however. the Northwestern
ave notice of withdrawal from the Cen.
raj association on the grounds that The
Wabash was permitted by the terms of
he contract to discriminate in favor of
It. Louie. These notices we're given in
he sole interest of the roads and not
or the purpose Of affecting stocks, as
las been alleged.
