ST. JOHN IS DETERMINED.
He Will Keep Up His Fight Against The
Southern Railway.

Washington, July 24.-Nice-Presi-
dent St. John, of 'ahe Seaboard Mir
Line. announced to-day the intention
of that company to continue its fight
against the Southern Railway. He
declares that the Southern established
a line of steamers between Baltimore
and Norfolk needlessly, and in order
to destroy the existing lines and not
because the Southern's business re
quired it. He added:
1--WE have been unable because of
the influence of the Southern to run
sIeepers to and from New York as the
Southern does. We have been trying
for three years to do this, and we will
vet accomplish it, although at present
it is unlawfully denied us We have
been thwarted by the same influence
i'm our Atlanta and New Orleans bust
ness, but the Interstate Commerce
law will, sooner or later, be enforced
in these cases. Our determination to
secure our rights may cause the rate
war to last for months, and possibly
for years. but we believe the shippers
and people will support us"
