some Roads viii Oppose II.

Speaking of the matter OF 4 pool to be
considered by the tranS-AiiSSouri aSSOCia-
JiOn TO be held in Kansas City to-day the
Times says;
The effort to be made before the trans
Missouri association next week to form q
combination Of the Western railroads for
the purpose OF fighting Interstate commerce
cases is the subject Of considerable gossip
in railroad ana shipping circles.
lit IS generally believed that il is the
purpose of the Western traffic association

place Chairman Aldace f. Walker of the
board of commissioners of the association
~ ne head of II. MIR. Walkers legal train
ing and former connection with the inter-
state commerce commission specially fits
him 10 occupy this position. In the event
that Mr.. Walker secures control of ali inter
state complaints and fights, the other com
miSsionerS of the association viii have
charge OF their several departments under
him.
1t has been said that the railroads have
been secretly combined TO aid each other in
Interstate fights during the past TWO years
This : not true. When Il number of roads
fave been made defendants in complaints
before the commission they have aided each
other in the fight to j certain extent, but
10 attempt has ever been made TO place the
legal departments Of all the railroads in
large associations directly under the control
Of the chairman of such an association.
1t IS quite certain that the proposition
will not be favored at next week meeting
by all of the roads. The Kansas City. Fort
Scott and Memphis is under an extremely
conservative management and claims that
it seeks al all times TO avoid conflict with
the law. Il will hardly enter 4 cOmbini-
ton TO assist in fighting the battles of other
roads. when it has no fights itself. Its rep
resentarive will not vote favorabiy on
question that entails expense without spe-
cial Instructions. and Mr.. Nettlcton is MOI
in the city now to give any Instructions

The object IS to effect 4 temporary organi-
cation. appoint finance commit
tee, membership committee, commit
tee on bylaws, etc, and to discuss the
ways and means of securing funds TO lease
and furnish the rooms and the best method
OF maintaining them after established. 1t
is expected the club will have member
ship of six or eight hundred men, all en-
gagged in active railroad service. They will
have exclusive control of the club, except
that no one not in railroad service should be
admitted TO active membership and no
liquors. wine or beer be admitted to or sold
III the rooms. The object is to promote
sOciability, foster taste for reading and
study, and induce men to pass their spare
time at the club instead of in saloons, etc.
a reception room, parlor, library, billiard
room and smoking room viii be provided.
Il is desired to furnish the rooms elegantly
and carpet them. making them as attrac-
tive and cosy rs possible, so that they will
become headquarters for the men when off
duty. It is thought that every road enter
ing Fort Worth will take an interest in the
matter, ana it the intention of the pro
motors to. if possible, make the Fort Worth
Railroad Mems club the finest in the South.

Discussing Texas Cotton Rates.

ST. Louis, Mo. Sept. 1.-The rate COM
mittee OF the Southwestern railway and
steamship association met at the headquar-
tiers of the association to-day and devoted
is attention to the matter of interstate
rates on cotton from Texas points. The
necessity for this consideration being the
fact that cotton is now moving, and because
Of the situation created by the rates as pro-
mulgated by the railroad commission of the
state of Texas.
The question being the most important
one, involving is it does the departure from
previous theories underlying rate adjust
ments-the new Texas local rates not being
in conformity with those hitherto obtain
ing the matter proved such fertile subject
for discussion that at the hour of adjourn
ment nothing had been accomplished in the
way of schedules to govern the situation,
and the matter will be further discussed
tomorrow. In addition to the question of
rates on Texas cotton a number of other
important subjects have been docketed for
consideration.

Nearly all the inks in common use con-
tain organic matter as part of the color
ing matter. The great majority OF them
are principally a combination of iron with
gallo and tannic acids, both of which are
organic acids and quite readily decompos-
ed. The action of moisture, light and
other agents will, after while, decompose
these salts of iron, leaving only the almost
invisible oxide of iron to show where the
writing has been. The only really perman-
ent ink IS that prepared from some form OF
carbon, such as lampblack, of which the
Chinese or India ink is composed. Carbon
resists destructive influences to a remark
able degree, and writings made with such
ink will last as long rs the paper on which
they are written. according to Popular
Science News.
