Decentralization in passenger rates
in Eastern territory is fast making
itself felt beyond the bonds of the
Central Traffic association. Some of
Western roads are up in arms against
their Eastern connections, says the
Chicago Herald, for the looseness with
which they are at present managing
their affairs. 1t appears that the
Southwestern roads, in Texas Arkan
sas and New Mexica, have taken to
applying differental rates over some
of the standard lines in the construc-
tion of through rates to New York.
BY so doing they leave an opening of
scalp in the rates to poins in West
ern territory. Furthermore, the
Southwestern roads insist that the
Western roads should accept small.
or proportion of the through rates
than would accrue to them were regu-
lar standard rates maintained. This
they are unwilling to do, but the pres
sure seems to be too strong for them.
At first the evil complained of was
confined to points in Texas and the
Eastern business going through the
st. Louis gateway. 1t has spread,
however, ill points in Arkansas and
New Mexico have become involved
and it threatens to spread till it reach
es the Pacific coast. The business has
already begun to find it's way through
Kansas City and Chicago gateways
and it threatens to make no end of
trouble. 1t has been made subject
for special consideration at meeting
of the Western Passenger association
heldyesterday.
Fresh calls have been issued for
meetings of the freight and passenger
departments of the Central Traffic
and Trunk Line associations to be
held in New York, March IA and Is,
for the purpose of further considering
the existing rate Decentralization and
devising means of putting an end to
it. Nothing whatever was accom-
plished at the meetings of last week
in New York and Buffalo. The stu.
alton is becoming worse rather than
improving The proposition for the
organization of traffic pools has been
found to be impracticable in working
it out, and it will probably be aban-
doned. Until business improves and
there is enough to 60 round there is
strong probability that the roads will
continue to fight like tigers over what
there is to move,

SpeClhl ~ mt OJdtSoLnhH'
FORT WORTH, March Gall of the
statements finding currency today is
that Chairman Baker may be can
didate far congress against Pendleton.
The latter, it is claimed has incurred
the enmity of large number of the
Hogg wing of the party, who will
bitterly oppose his denomination.
The organ of this opposition Is an
evening daily in this city and it's feel
ing toward Dendleron is significant
IL is stated that state Representative
Henderson of Milan county, who is
credited with congressional aspila.
tions, has made several pilgrlmages to
Waco recently, and it is limited that
his object has been to sound Mr., Baker
on the congressional question. The
latest expression on this subject is
that either Mr.. Baker or Mr.. Hender.
son will become a candidate
against Pendleton. The Cleve.
land vote as the basis of
representation, will give McAe nnan

which makes decided change over
two years ago when the county had
but eight votes. This large vote
makes McLennan county's position
particularly interesting. 1t is pre-
dicted that the congressional cam.
paign in this county and district will
be of the liveliest kind.
The story of Senator Coke's inten-
ton to close his senatorial career with
his present term is being revived
again, but what additional reasons
for the report than those stated
in THE STATESMAN several
weeks ago are not known.
1t was stated today by one close to
the senator that the establishment ct
harmony in the ranks of the party
might change Senator Coke's reported
intention OF resignation materially.
This authority says that all opposi'
ton to Senator Coke will now cease
and that he can secure reelection
without an effort. sit won't DO"
said the correspondents informant,
"to put Senator Coke OFT of the field,
| believe he will be his own success
sOr." The senatorial question, how.
ever, is watched with close interest
and now few friends of Senator Coke
expect public declal alton from him
shortly concerning his position,
Ex-Governor Ross is in the city to-
day. He expresses himself as pleased
with the prospects for harmony. His
friends declare that the present condi-
ton demands Ross as gubernatorial
candidate. Their belief that the har-
mony plan suggested by Baker and
Matlock will be cemented all around
by the candidacy of Ross, who has
had no part in the factiOnal fight.
Some declare that Ross's election
would result in making him the sue
cessOr of Senator Coke. They say the
legislature during governors first
term Is more OF less dominated by
him; that Ross election now would be
just like first term again and that
he could easily make the governor
ship stepping stone to the United
States senate. 1t is we'll known here
that Governor Ross is not averse to
leading the party this year, and this
lends more or less interest to the
story.
