prepare an exhaustive analysis OF the capisaiiza-

OF the Missouri Pacific. the Southern Pacific
and the Atchison systems. with the view OF
determining from them a basis upon which the
three systems may be consolidated or
brought under the control Of q
single company. The executive officers Of
the Southern Pacific system have been
summoned from Fan Francisco to take part in
the work. and it is trustworthily stated that
Senator Stanford has given his support TO the
scheme As yet none of the three interests are
absolutely committed to the proposition, bat all
have taken IL up with degree Of earnestness
that argues strongly in favor of its adoption
II the programme OF aInslgamation which has
been outlined should be extended 70 include all
OF the seven railways tributary, the system so
formed wound foot up s., 34 miles, or more than

TRAFFIC AGREEMENT A FAILURE.
Santa Fe Continues to Throw Obstacles
in the Way.

CHICAGO, Feb 6.-The prospects of a
successful launching of the Western Traffic
Association are growing more and
more dubious. The men who have
believed it would be pushed TO successful is
sue. now say they do not see how the scheme
can be carried out in view of the obstacles being
thrown in the way. The Santa Fe has practi-
eally blocked the provision for a competitive
office, the most important feature of the plan,
by refusing TO make up the deficiency
due the other lines by divertlng freight to them
at Kansas City, as ordered by the arbitTators of
the tonnage pool. The santa Fe refuses on the
ground that IL is entitled to more than 40 per
cent. of the total traffic of southwestern Mis-
souri, river points and had been getting less than
80 per cent Chairman Walker says the arbitra-
tors can Go nothing in the face OF such affairs,
and aeknow ledge that the engagement has been
broken.
In passenger affairs the Santa Fe has also will
fully violated its pledges by disturbing the rates
between St. Louis aud Chicago in connection
with the Jacksonville & Southeastern Chair
man Finlay has issued an order that the Santa
Fe must no longer handle the tickets
of the Jacksonville & Southeastern, but
il is believed that the order viii not be
obeyed, and the result viii presently be the
santa Fes withdrawal from the Western Passen-
ger Association, in which case il cannot be a
member Of the Presidents Association 1t is
freely predicted that unless they change the
policy, the Western Association viii never be
put in operation.

Western Railroads at Swords Points
Over Various Differences.

CHICAGO, Feb. CIT is now conceded on all
sides that the newly formed Western Traffic As
ISOLATION is placed in very preea-
rious position by the attitude of the
Atchison road. That company refuses longer
TO obey the orders of the arbitrator to divert
traffic TO other lines, and by such
disobedienee violates the agreement entered
into last summer for division of traffic from
Kansas City 10 Chicago and st. Louis. The re-
cent agreement OF presidents amounts 10 moth
ing If the provision for division of traffic is not
carried out
The feeling among railroad men is now that
the prospects of the new association have been
killed by the attitude of the Atchison road The
Atehison people have decided to pay no atten-
ton TO the order of Chairman Finlay
informing the Jacksonville & Southeastern
that tickets of that read from
ST. Louis TO Chicago viii not be honored BY the
Atchison after February Is Chairman Finlay
acts IN accordance with the authority vested in
him by the agreement of the Western Passenger
Association, and the attitude of the Atchison is
regarded an open violation of that agreement
