DECISION RENDERED IN THE
INJUNCTION SUIT.
Judge Stewart Acts Indiscriminate-
ly and the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Gets What 1t Asked for
How the Decision is Regarded in
San Antonio and What the Prob
able Outcome Will Be.

A termination was reached last
evening in the injunction suit be-
tween the Missouri, Kansas d Tex
as and the International and Great
Northern for the control of the Gal
weston, Houston and Henderson
railway between Galveston and
Houston. Judge Stewert delivered
lengthy decision. He stated that
he will not interfere with the run
ming of the International and Great
Northern in the use Of their motive
power, nor with the present time
tables. He said he will give the
Galveston, Houston and Hender-
son the supervising power over the
trains of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas and International aid Great
Northern, which go over the road,
so that there will be no collision or
obstruction. The International and
Great Northern was given the
power to adjust the time tables.
The court adjourned until 10 o'clock
this morning.
THE LOCAL OPINION.
The general opinion among rail
road men in San Antonio, in re-
gard to the decision rendered by
Judge Stewart. at Galveston, in the
injunction suit between the Inter-
national and Great Northern and
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, is
about as follows: Judge Stewart
dealt indiscriminately with all the
roads concerned. The Missouri,
Kansas and Texas is the gamer
over the International and Great
Northern, the Galveston, Houston
and Henderson, and all other roads
in the state, to a certain extent.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
had everything to gain and
nothing to lose. BY this
road running over the track be-
tween Houston and Galveston the
receipts of the other roads will be
reduced, but it will be beneficial to
all points reached by or tributary
to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
and connections. The Santa Fe
will be affected as much as any
road. Judge Stewards decision
will prove beneficial to the state at
large, as it will naturally create
much competition and very likely
cause reduction in rates. The
Missouri, Kansas x Texas will
now very probably fix up schedules
of their own for trains between
Houston and Galveston and make
matters lively for their COMPETE
tors. The opinion prevails that
there will be no serious
complications arising whereby
trains of one road will interfere
with the trains of the other roads.
A large bulk of the northwest bust
ness, which has heretofore been
transported over the roads reach
ing the eastern states to Galveston.
will in the future come over the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas. In
time great deal of European trade
may be expected to go through the
port at Galveston and the Missouri
Kansas and Texas will interfere
with the other roads, from a finan-
cial standpoint, which will nc
doubt, however, prove beneficial tc
the state at large.
