Has the Contract Expiredl

PITTsBURG, March 23.-An argument
was held before Judge Allison in the
United States court to-day on motion to
dissolve the injunction restraining the Pitts
burg IL Western Railroad company from
refusing to carry express matter. The
plaintiff in this case is ex-United States
Senator Thomas Plat of New York The
principal question at issue is as to the
validity of a contract made between the
United States Express company, of which
Mr.. Platt is president, and the Pittsburg &
Western Railroad company in 1884. This
contract was to endure one year, but in it
was a provision that it should remain in
force until one or the other parties served a
thirty days notice on the other that they
wished the agreement nullited or at least
modified. The plaintiffs base their case on
the statement they have not as yet been
served with notice TO quit. The defense
claims the contract has expired and is there
fore void.

CHICAGO. March 2S.-The strike on the
Missouri Pacific at Kansas City seriously
affects the freight output from this point.
For the first time since the strike the rail-
ways this morning announced their in
ability to handle certain classes of freight
destined for Kansas City and points further
South and West. The Chicago, Burlington
~ Quincy early in the day posted notices
10 the effect that no perishable goods would
be received and that all freight taken would
be subject to delay. The Chicago& Alton
insisted on the same conditions. AT noon
the Rock Island sent out word to the local
offices to take no perishable freight for
Kansas City. The Wabash, st. Louis "
Pacific up to noon sent out no notice such
as other lines posted and was taking all
classes of freight to Kansas City except
shipments over the Missouri Pacific, the
Iron Mountain and carload lots to points on
the St. Louis u San Francisco roads.

Soon to be Transferred.

GALVESTON, March 23.-The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe railway, which was
adjourned two weeks ago, was continued
to-day. The reports of various officers
were submitted, and the following board OF
directors were elected: George Sealy,
Walter S. Davis, Il. S. Willis, j. II.
Hutchiugs, j. L. Wallis, Leon Blum and
II. Kempner all of Galveston. This is q
decrease of four members in the directory
and reduces the board to its minimum under
the charter. This fact gives rise TO the
report that the Atchison, Topeka " Santa
Fe company will shortly be represented in
the directory. The progress of negotia-
lions for the control OF the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe system is carefully guarded
from the public, but it is stated on good
authority that the transfers. almost certain,
and that the basis Of the exchange OF stock
will be made public within few days.

California Rate Cutting.

Mr.. T. w. Trusdale yesterday received a
copy of the Los Angles Times, in which a
Breezy account is given of one days opera
lions in cutting rates in that latitude and
falling into the drawer the $50 gold pieces
and the SO, $50, $50 and 500 bills and
smaller coin and paper. The writer pro-
nOunceS the contents of the drawer "the
fruits of big days work." All the lines
cut fearfully and rapidly, and so numerous
were the applicants for cut-rate tickets that
they were obliged TO number them with
cards as they came in and then wait on
them in turn.
