A GRAIN BLOCKADE.
Kansas City Completely Biockaded with
the Rush of Western Grain.

Special to the Gazette
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept 3.-The boasts
of the railroads, or some of them, that they
would be able to furnish ali the cars wanted
for the grain shipments, have already fallen
fat The grain men areabeginl.ing to COM
plain Of a scarcity of cars, and 1t is thought
that by next week, unless the shipments
ease up, there will be q full-sized car fam
inc The rush this year is already aSSum-
ing large proportions and bids fair to eclipse
anything OF the kind ever witnessed. From
all over The country come the reports that
the roads are being blockadcd with grain,
and for three days past the yards of several
of the lines here in Kansas City have been
wholly or partially blockaded. The roads
have made strenuous efforts to keep the
track clear but the heavy rush into Kansas
City last Monday almost stopped business
for time. The Santa F'e for two days re-
fused to accept any more grain, and the
blockade there was raised only last eve
ming.
The Union Pacific yards were completely
filled, but it is thought that the tracks can
be cleared by tonight. The Missouri Pa
cific is also in bad shape and it is almost
impossible to take care of the heavy bust
ness and at the same time prevent. a block
AIDE The Eastern yards are filling rapidly
and it is likely that in few days grain will
be held west of the river. The Santa F'e
tracks are full all the way from Kansas
City to Emporia and there is danger of d
heavy rush completely stopping the trains.
The Santa Fe people say this evening that
they will be able to move the grain by
morning 1t is estimated that there were
over 20U0 cars in the Kansas City yards
Monday and Tuesday, and from the reports
that are coming in now, the storage ca
pacity will be completely exhausted by
next Monday on account of the heavy runs
in here on Sunday.

The Conference Between Gould and Moffat
of the Rio Grande

OF the Rio Grande.
MY meeting with Mr.. Grould was purely
of social nature said President MOffat Of
of the Rio Grande, referring to the confer
ence which took place at Manitou Saturday.
NO, we did not discuss any railway changes,
such as the dispatches from Chicago speak
Of"
Has Mr.. Gould arranged TO dispose of
his Union Pacific interests to the Wander
biIts.''
MIR Gould did not take me iuto his con-
fdence / know nothing of what the Union
Pacific proposes TO do, but l do not credit
the dispatches.
Mr.. llofratt denied that Mr. GouId made
any proposition to him relative to railway
projects. There is no truth in the report
that Mr.. Gould Is trying to obtain control of
the Rio Grande. No negotiations are on
foot, and the matter was not mentioned at
our meeting. We did not discuss business
OF any sort
When asked if he was TO be appointed
general manager of the Union Pacific. Mr..
Smith Of the Rio Graude said: No. |
have never applied for the position. II has
never been rendered me. There has been
no discussion whatever in reference to the
subject. There Is absolutely no truth in
any rumOr connecting me with position
with the Union Pacific The dispatches
from Chicago are made out Of whole cloth.
There are no grounds for the statements
made
As predicted in the Republican, Jay
Gould lodged Denver. He left Manit0u at
: O'Clock yesterday afternoon for Pueblo,
and from there goes East over the Missouri
Pacific. His "trip over the Rio Graude sys-
TEN may produce developments unthought
of. il may be that the road will pass out of
the control of Mr.. Silliat. Mr. Smiths
wide acquaintance with Colorado railway
affairs may result in his receiving position
for which ne has not applied, and it would
not surprise his many friends here, per-
hans. so much as it would himself. if he
should shortly be asked to assume the gem
eral management Of the Union Pacific

TIE Proceedings at Its Meeting in
Kansas City.

Inc proceedings at us Meeting IN
Kansas City.
Considerable interest has been manifested
in the regular monthly meeting of the
Trans Missouri association. The proceed
ings OF Tuesday are thus chronicled by the
Times:
The Trans Missouri freight association
met i'll regular monthly session in Kansas
City yesterday.
The question of appointing 4 joint grain
agent at Kansas City TO handle grain
shipped under the rccOnSignment priv
Ieges was taken up in the morning. The
Western freight association and the South
western railway and steamship association
notified the Trans-MiSSOuri that they con-
CURED IN the changes in the original propo-
sitiOn by which the time Of holding the
grain at Kansas City extended from six
days TO SIX months. Without discussion
the entire matter was turned over TO Chair
men Smith, Midgley and FaithOm TO APP
point an agent and apportion the expenses
of his Office among the different roads in the
association. The commissioners of
the Western traffic association meet
in Chicago this week. Chairman
Smith said yesterday that if lie
could get away from the tranS-AliSsOuri
meeting to attend the commissioners meet
ing the agent would be appointed this week.
If / do not get away This week, however. =
said he. Il do not know when the matter
will be settled. 1t Is q question That can
not well be handled by correspondence and
we will have to wait until we can have a
conference
1t is the general opinion that Mr.. T. ".
Meagley the Kansas City agent Of the
Western freight association, Will receive
the appointment as joint agent. He filed
that Office once in the past. If he is APP
pointed he will continue 10 have charge of
the Kansas City department of the Western
freight association.
The proposition 20 form combination for
mutual protection in Interstate commerce
cases was not acted upon by the transmits
souri, yesterday. The chairman thinks it is
u good idea for, he says, no road can be
complained Of before the interstate COM
mcrcc commission on any question that all
the roads III the immediate territory are
not interested in. The proposition,' he
says. purposes TO place the chairman in
position to direct the defense in every inter
state commerce ease. He can call for what
legal talent he thinks necessary. The eX-
penSes Of the defense are borne by all the
roads jointly"
Has there been any such plan rs this
practiced by the roads in secret during the
past Two years.
No sir The idea is entirely new.
When the roads have united in common de-
Tense heretofore it has been in cases where
they were party defendants

Under the law the railroads in Kansas,

Island is sustained it viii cut off several
dollars from the revenues Of the Union
Pacific. II is estimated that the bridge
charges on freight turned over to the Rock
Island by the Missouri Pacific have aver
aged $4,000 per annum. As an Offset to
this the Union Pacific has had the expense
of handling the freight on the bridge, but
the Rock Island could handle it as cheaply
as the Union Pacific and increase its rev.
enue by SO doing
The Milwaukee road is in about the same
position but it is accepting freight at Coun-
Gil Bluffs under protest, whereas the Rock
Island refuses to receive it except on this

SHIPPING BY RAILROAD.
Wheat No Longer Sent East from Texas
by Steamer

a Topeka special to the Kansas City
Times says: The Atchison, Topeka and
Santa lie railroad, and in fact ali other
Texas lines this year, find themselves bur-
dencd with a new traffic, that of hauling
wheat to Chicago and other Eastern mar
kets from Texas. The crop this year in
that state has been unprecedcntedly large,
and for some reason the shipments by water
by way of Galveston have not PANIED out
1t is claimed that the arbitrary action of
the Texas railroad commissioners has had
much 10 do with diverllng the grain from
the channel through which it would seem
most natural for it to seek an outlet. Be
cause of their rulings il regard to rates it is
sad the railroads have decided to haul the
grain to the East, and thus take the rate
fixing power out of the hands of the com
missioners by making it interstate COM
merce. The Morgan steamers have discon-
tinued touching at Galveston. The boats
have been put INTO the New Orleans trade.

How TO Judge Character by finger Nails.
Very pale nails indicate much infirmity
of the flesh and liability to persecution By
neighbors and friends. Nails growing into
the flesh at the points or sides are indica-
tive of luxurious tastes White marks On
the nails bespeak misfortune. Pale or lead
colored nails betoken melancholy. Broad
nails belong to those of gentle, timid. bash
full natures. Lovers Of knowledge and lib
eral sentiments have round nails. People
with narrow nails are ambitious and quar-
