President Hoffman Says They are In the
Fight to Win.

BALTIMORE, March u.-President r.
Curzon Hoffman, of the Seaboard Air
Line. returned here to-day, after an abb
sence of a week In talking about the
boycott which the Southern hallway ana
Steamship Association hac instituted
against the Seaboard, and cutting IN
passenger rates which his line has made
in retaliation Mr.. Hoffman said:
1--WE have made our move, and we are
now waiting for the other fellows TO 90
something. Our cut has not been as yet
at least there has been no pubic an
nouncement We are prepared 10 make
a determined fight, for we know II 10 De
our rights. Some Of our competitors say
that the action of the Southern halfway
and Steamship Association was not q
boycott. If the fight that ASSOCIATION Is
making against us is not Wnat Is gen
orally termed boycott. l would IKE 10
know what it IS. At all events, we con
slider il a boycott, and will resist II with
all the power at our command.
THE hearing of the injunction when We
obtained against the Western and Atlantic,
and Nashville, Chattanooga and 81. Louis
restraining them from joining in the fight
against us which was set for last sat
urday, was postponed at the instance OF
the counsel for the defence. We were
ready and anxious 10 30 dHcdu Win t4S
case. Judge Lumpkin, before whom the
case Will be argued. has not set ii date
for the hearing but will probably decide
upon an early hearing. Meantime. the
Injunction stands, and the different roads
are exchanging business with the Sea-
board as usual.
When asked If his line would join the
Southern Passenger Association, which
was formed last week 10 take the place
of the old association, which was run in
connection with the Southern Railway
and steamship Association, Mr.. Hoffman
replied that he does not contemplate
ioining any association at the present
time. The Seaboard was rot represented
az the meeting at Xaich the association
was formed, although it was invited to
send a representative
A runor was current to-day that the
Southern Railway Comp ny had secretly
cut both passenger and freight rates, but
the report was de Ned at the local ofiice
of the company. cut in freightrates
by the Seaboard Air Line would cause
no surprise in shipping circles.

JHE PEdCE kEGOTIITIOAS,
China Has Not as Yet Acceded 20 Japans
Demands, Ms Reporjed

LONDON. March 1.-THE Times cor
respondent In Pekin says
"China, through the United States Min
listers. DENLY and Dun, has agreed that
the points b. discussed at the peace con-
ference with japan shall include the in
dependence OF Corea, the cessior OF ter
ritory. ana the payment Of such an indem-
nifty as the ENJOYS may determine. No
imperial edict relating 10 the war has
appeared IN a month. and no reference to
the peace negotiations has been pub
Iished. There Is ostensible harmony
dInCng high officials here that China's
attitude towards Japan for the abandon
ing of the war policy IS now generally
recognized as the only possible course"
The Central News correspondent in
Shanghai confirms the above dispatch as
70 the status Of the negotiations between
these countries for a peace conference.
He denies the report that China has ac-
ceded TO Japans demands and Is ready
TO sign the treaty OF peace That report,
he says IS pure fiction. He adds
Iii Hung Chang will leave Tien Tsin
on March l4th 70 fulfil his missi1n. There
is great doubt whether or not he VIII
succeed IN reaching an aeseement with
the Japanese as 10 the terms OF peace.
