SANTA FE-sTMwELL SCHEMES.

For an Omaha-ChicaEo Road and n
Kansas Cfty-St. Joseph Short Line.
IT was said yesterday that a traffic ar
pAnRement either had or would be made
between the Omaha, Kansas City & East
ern Cnorth of Kansas City Stilwell sys-
tem) and the Santa Fe, by which through
line between Omaha and Chicago would be
had over the lines of the two companies.
The Santa Fe has no Chicago-Omaha
route and the Pittsburg & Gulf interests
have not outlet to Chicago. The distance
via the Stilwell roads from Council Bluffs
to Hurdland is $50 miles, and from Hurd-
land to Chicago via the Santa Fe, 905 miles.
making a total of 565 miles, while the
short lines between Omaha and Chicago
are about 500 miles in length. Several of
the lines in active competition for Chicago
Omaha business are in no better position
to handle II than would be q line made up
by this combination, and it is apt to be-
come a factor in the traffic between those
points.
II is also said that close traffic or op-
Grating Arrangement will be made between
the Santa Fe and the Stilwell roads on
Kansas City and st. Joseph business. The
former road is now practically debarred
from engaging in inter-city business be-
tween Kansas City and st. Joseph, while
a connection between that line and the
Pattonsburg road will give by four miles
the shortest line between these cities. It
is twenty-nine miles from 81. Joseph TO
Plattsburg via the Santa Fe line and
thirty miles from Plattsburg to Kan
sas City on the present survey of the
Pattonsburg road, making the distance be-
tween the cities fifty-nine miles against
sixty-three miles via the Burlington's *.
c." line, the shortest route between Kan
sas City and st. Joseph at present.
It has been suggested that the Grand ISL
and might also use this route to reach
Kansas City, as its business is in no in
stance competitive with that of either the
Santa Fe or Stilweli roads.

PASSENGER MEETING CALLED.
TranscOntinentaI Lines VIII Discuss
Troubles in Denver Next Week.

Chicago, Dec. So.-A meeting of the lines
of the Transcontinentl Passenger Associ-
alton has been called 10 meet next week
in Denver. The chief matter that is ex-
pected to come before the meeting will be
the trouble existing in rates from Colora-
do common points to the Pacific coast.
Business has not been IN a satisfactory
condition for a long time, and there
have been charges ana counter charges
without number running all the way from
accusations of the direct cutting Of rates
to assertions that free berths have
been given in sleepers. There is believed
to be nothing however, nut that can be
adjusted, and there is a general feeling
that at the adjournment of the meeting
California rates will be in more stable
condition than they have been for long
time.

Illinois Central VIII Fight.

The Illinois roads are preparing to enter
the fight against the passage of law
creating the cent rate as maximum on
passenger business, and it is likely that
among the bills introduced at the coming
session of the Illinois legislature will be
one making the granting of pass or the
acceptance of pass an offense punishable
by law. The roads could stand cent fare
If the pass business was entirely abolished.

NEITHER TEAM COULD SCORE.
City of Mexico-Tucker, of Mis-
souri, Injured.


Mexico City. Mexico, Dec. 3O.-The Mis-
souri, State University team played game
of football Tuesday at the Indianflla
grounds, their contestants being the Texas
State University team. Neither side scored
in either the first or second half. Tucker,
of Missouri, was seriously injured in the
back of the neck by a kick. 1t is not
known how badly he is hurt. The great
elevation was seriously felt by the players,
who early lost their wind. The spectators
were mainly American and English resi-
dents and a sprinkling of Mexican club
men.
There is still talk OF getting up local
team to contest with the Missouri team on
New Years day. The Mexican dailies gen.
orally condemn the game as brutal and
express their opinion that the Latin race
is too hot blooded to play the game with
out losing temper. Football is a great nov
city here and aroused public interest, but
It is not likely that it can be acclimated in
Mexico.
