international willing to Answer to
shipper, but Not to state.
Austin. Texas. October 5.-Judge sted-
mar, general attorney Of the International
and Great Northern. called on the rail-
road commission today to see whether or
not it had acted on his petition some time
ago asking the commission to abrogate it's
ruling in circular No. 202. which governs
the routing OF freight as directed by the
shippers. Under the law railroad must
respect the wishes of the shipper in rout-
ing freight over connecting lines and Is
responsible to him for any damage 10
freight when his wishes are disoDeyed
The railroad companies are not averse to
conformance with the law, for they are
willing to assume the risk of damages to
the shippers when they violate his wishes
which they usually do when one connecting
line bids higher for the haul than the one
designated by the shipper. but the ruling
of the railroad commission makes a recall
citrant road liable to suit by the State
and fnc of $500. That is why the In
ternational and Great Northern is anxious
for the abrogation of the ruling. Judge
Storey says it will not be acted on unit!
Judge Reagan is well enough to work.
which will be several days hence.

NOT TRUE INFORMATION.
Colonel Gresham Saw Mr.. Huntipo-
ton Last Saturday.
HOUSE IN SYMPATHY WITH THE SALE
Texas People Are sim Conndent
That the LIN Porte Deal VIII
ne Contaminated.

Galveston. Texas October 5.--A special
telegram from New York published this
morning was calculated to throw damper
on the efforts Of the reorganization COM
mittee Of the La Porte. which Is now en-
cheering the sale OF the road to the Hunt
ington interests.
Il do not know where the New York
correspondent got his information" said
gentleman prominently connected with
the property this morning. "or why such
telegram should have been sent out. But
this l do know: Colonel Gresham saw
Mr.. Huntington Saturday. l have q tele-
gram from him to that effect"
Here the telegram was shown. II stated
that satisfactory progress was being
made; Colonel Gresham had seen MT. Hunt
ington and had an appointment to see him
again today.
IL Is also unfair to Mr. House." the
gentleman continued, ito say he is not In
sympathy with the sale OF the property to
Huntington. No man has done more than
he to push the sale to contamination. He
has given much of his time TO this effort
and even now Is In New York working to
that end
President Dan Henderson of the Calves
ton and Western said he had nothing to
make public regarding the negotiations.
Are you cast down over the reports
from New York;" he asked.
We'll, should think not. I know the
information that Colonel Gresham has not
seen Mr. Huntington is wrong. Then again
the public should understand that this is a
big deal and that big deals, where there are
many complications, take much time IN
push through"
On the whole, the idea at this END Of the
line is that matters in New York are pro-
crossing in an entirely satisfactory way.
