Considerable speculation has been INDUCED In
as TO what steps the Southern Pacific Company
will take In the matter OF througll-car service for
The Denver and Rio Grande when 1t shall be op-
Grated for business in connection with the Colo
radO Midland, whose opening is announced to
lake place on Tuesday next Itwas thought that
the Southern Pacific Company would iefuss to
furnish thTough.car service such as is now given
the Union Pacific and Northwestern roads. la
fact an official OF The Southern Pacific Company
gave the rumor a semblauce of fact by stating
that the company could not furnish througlI-car
service tor the new connection and is not bound
TO do so. An officer of the Southern Pacific Com
pany. whose duty II Will be TO grant or refuse
through-car service, said yesterday that there is
not business enough east OF Ogden to warrant the
Use OF more coaches or sleepingcars than are
now being used. While 1t could refuse 10 give
the Denver and Rio Grande throug hear service
from Ogden. II has no idea OF doing sO ana tile
same service Will be given is furnished the
Union Pacific and Northwestern.
