Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK. May 29.-Banking inter-
ests again came to the front and secured
the cooperation of railroad magnates in
advancing rates. The passenger troubles
really hinged on the Wisconsin Central,
which demanded o differential rate be-
fore it would advance Northwestern
rates, and on these rates hung the
Southwestern and Colorado rates,
although some bad blood between
Missouri Pacific, Atchison, Rock
Island aud Chicago and Alton increased
Southwestern Decentralization, 1t is gen.
orally understood big banking houses
brought the pressure to bear upon Vii
lard in the case of the Wisconsin Gen.
trail. The reported Wisconsin Central
gets its differeutial, but whatever has
been done in this way is unimportant,
for the Wisconsin Centrsl's acquiescence
settles the Northwestern passenger war.
The Rock Island has some time aban-
doned the passenger fight, and the Atch-
ison naturally wants good rates, ana so
does Gould. This spirit among the mag
mates naturally helped bankers in their
efforts, and it is very safe to say South
western and Colorado rates will be ad-
yanced at once. This leaves the rate sit
uation in better shape all over the coun-
try than has been for six months. 1t Is
generally believed there is a large
short interest in Atcbison flrsts.
Regular shorts and second people sold
their Atchison stock to be delivered in
exchange for Frisco stocks.
St. Louis and San Francisco directors
met to-day and accepted the resignation
of President Wiuslow and elected Man
vel of the Atchson president. There
was q full attendanoe-Mr. Huntington,
George Gould, Russell Sage, George c.
Magoun, J. j. McCook and others.

Ticket agents Of the different railroads
csntsring in this city, with one exception
perhaps, report that outgoing business
with them, Notwithstanding the immense
crowds in the city, has been compare
tiygly light. This is easily accounted for
when the large number of Inherent
,calDers and street ticket brokers now in
Fort Worth is considered. These scalp
ers, who have no regular place of bust
ness. but who follow the crowd have alb
,dutely played smash with the outgoing
business from Fort Worth for nearly two
reeks, by gett ing hold of large numbers
Of return excursion tickets, which were
nut on sale on ace unit of
the Spring Palace and sold
STEW dollars below the the straight rates
Of the roads to parties who were going
out Of the city. A number of these
tickets were bought by parties who in
tended going beyond Fort Worth and
who did 60 after seeing the Palace, and
who had no use for the return ticket but
bought 1t knowing the opportunities they
would have to dispose of it while here.
These scalpers have infested the streets,
sEarmed around the depot and on street
cars and cried their tickets as a peanut
yender would his stock in trade. The
legitimate scalper whose home is in Fort
WORTH and who can always be found at
one place, did not engage in this
but il was in many instances persons
whom the people knew nothing about
that did it, and many q man has been
BIT by buying run-out tickets with the
dates marked up.
Railroads do not object so much to the
legitimate sCalper but tits this Bohemian
class OF them that makes the roads so
chary about putting on reduced rates.
II some protection was given them
against this class of scalpers it would be
less difficult for cities 10 obtain low rates
at times that low rates would be of great
help. There are scalpers in Fort Worth
men who live here all the time-who will
not buy pass or sell a ticket that was
not straight goods, and it is this class
mat are frequently quite convenient to
people whose finances are limited and
who have to travel. There are scalpers
also who will buy and sell passes of any

THE MINERAL WELLS RoAp.

Getting Ready for a Forward Movement-A
Conductors Suspicious Actions.
Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFoRD, TEX. May 29.-Presi-
dent T. r. Stone of the weatherford i,
Mineral Wells and Northwestern railroad
returned from Kansas City yesterday
He states that everything is in readiness
to go 10 work building the road as soon
as the right of way on this end of the
line can be secured, part of which will
have to be condemned. The right of
way committee is now hard at work OBJ
tanning the right of way ana work will
begin on the grade in 8 short time.
Messrs. Laing s. Smoot, the contractors
to whom the contract was awarded last
week for the building of the road except
laying of the track, were in the
city to-day and left this evening
over the line of the road
presumably to arrange all details for the
work of construction. II is now consid-
cred that the road will come into the
city on the north side, and that they will
have their depot, shops and terminal or
distributing facilities on the block of
ground on which Mr.. R. Il. Foat's resi-
dence is now located, adjoining the
creek just north of the Texas and Pacific.
Mr.. Foat stated to THE GAZETTE CORE
spondent that while no trade had been
closed with him for the property that
negotiations were now pending between
him and the railroad company, and that
there is only 500 or 5000 difference be-
tween them as to the price to be paid.
Conductor Tom Eaves of the local on
the Texas and Pacific returned yesterday
evening from four days trip TO the
West. Some of our people were of the
opinion that the object of his visit was to
determine some point west to which he
would extend the run of the local. The
railroad boys claim to know something
more of his objects, and that is not in
connection with railroad matters.

The Atchison to Put on Fast Trains to the

From St. Louis to the Coast.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. May 29.-One of the
first effects of the absorption of the st.
Louis and San Francisco road by the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe will be
the putting on of fast trains from st.
Louis to the southwest. The Frisco
main line connects with the Santa Fe
system at Burton, Kan. and commend
ing next Sunday the Frisco night express
from St. Louis will take out a through
sleeper for San Diego and will connect at
Burton with the Santa Fe
through train for San Francisco.
The following Sunday the Frisco will
put on three fast trains to run daily be-
tween St. Louis and Western Kansas,
Colorado, San Francisco, Southern CAL
ifornia and Mexico. This will give to
the whole Southwest new fast service
to the far West and Pacific coast, and
will shorten the time from four to
eighteen hours between St. Louis and
the Pacific coast. and the Kansas service
will be greatly accelerated. The equip
ments will be first class in every respect.

Three Propositions.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 29.-It is reported
the Atchison management has under
formal consideration three propositions,
growing out of the acquisition for the
Frisco road. The most important re-
lates to the extension of the Atlantic and
Pacific road to San Francisco, but may
be delayed if Huntington gives the sort
of trackage arrangement it wants over
the Southern Pacific. Another project
Is the extension of the eompany's line
between Chicago and Pekln, H.; from
the last named to St. Louis. The third
proposition comes from the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, and is for an outlet
to that company to St. Louis over the
Frisco road.

A L. and n. Rumor.

Considerable talk is being INDUCED in
over a recent report to the effect that the
Louisville and Nashville system is nego-
tiating for the purchase of the Little
Rock and Memphis railroad. Maj. E..
B. Stahlman, third vice-p resl dent of the
Louisville and Nashville road, denies
that there is any truth IN the rumor, but
it is known that he has been In con sulta-
ton with certain capitalists of the Little
Rock and Memphis. II is stated that the
acquisition of this road to the Louisville
and Nashville would give it direct COM
munication with the great Southwest.
The Little Rock and Memphis is an i'm
portant line extending between the cities
named. Should the Louisville and Nash
vile get it that road will have a direct
line from Cincinnati to Little Rock, with
Texas connections.
