Lone Star Sleeper Line VIII Not BE
Extended.
The Southern Pacific and their CITY OF
Mexico connections. who were considering
extending the Lone Star Sleeper Line"
now running between st. Louis and this
city, to the City OF Mexico, have given UP
the idea on account OF the unsettled condi-
ton of the country over the yellow fever
scare.
Officials of the Mexican lines met with
the Southern Pacific In Houston and agreed
upon a card for the sleeper line from st.
Louis. to the City via Houston, and the
figures from the Rio Grande south had
been submitted to the Republic govern
ment for approval. but no action was ever
taken.
The abandonment OF the proposed service
will not interfere with the running of the
sleeper from San Antonio over the South
ern Pacific to the City this winter, with
good connections from and to st. Louis.
Kansas City and Chicago.
As soon as the quarantine against New
Orleans can be raised with safety sleeper
service over the Southern Pacific west will
be resumed.

WAR ON TICKET scALpERs.
Resolutions Adopted by the Passen

Resolutions Adopted by the Passen-
ger Agents In ST. Louis.
While In convention at St. Louis, the
general passenger and ticket agents con-
sidered at some length the scalplng of
tickets, and resolutions were adopted call
Ing attention to State and National legis-
lation against the evil. The following was
offered by George H. Daniels of the New
York Central, and adopted
Whereas, The necessity for State and
National legislation against ticket scalping
has become apparent to every man who
has gwen the least attention to the sub
ject. In ten States of the Union, as well
as in the Dominion OF Canada and in every
country in Europe, laws have been adopted
combining the sale of transportation tickets
to the properly authorized agents of the
transportation companies. Many CONNER
cial, educational, scientific and other or
ganized bodies OF citizens have petitoned
the State legislatures and the congress of
the United States to adopt measures which
would prohibit this illegitimate business
The laws that have been adopted in the
various States, and the bills now pending
before congress on this subject, provide
for the redemption of every unused ticket
on part Of ticket, by the transportation
company issuing 1t at its full value. This
is the first annual meeting of the associa-
ton held since the active agitation of the
question before the congress Of the United
States; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this annual meeting OF
the American Association OF General Pas
senger and Ticket Agents, representing the
principal railways of the United States,
CanadsI and Mexico, respectfully urge upon
the various State legislatures the adoption
OF laws that will coniinc the sale of tickets
to the properly authorized agents of the
transportation companies, and, at the same
time, will require. under suitable penal
ties The redemption of every ticket, or part
Of ticket, that may be unused.
Resolved That we respectfully urge
upon the congress OF the United States the
early passage OF tho so-caled anti
ecalping' bills now before that honorable
body. which bills provide for restricting
the sale OF tickets to the properly author
lied agents OF the transportation compan-
les, and provide for the redemption OF all
unused tickets or parts OF tickets.

Inc vigorously worded resolutions ADOPT

Early in the morning a section man Of
Lake Charles, while walking east OF the
CITY about mile, found bridge Of which
seventy five feet had Lecn burned away
IT was reported to the Houston officials
VINO Immediately wired the officials Of

aiter no reply had been made the burning
OF the company property was called TO the
attention Of the governor Of Louisiana. who
teiegraphed that he would confer with the
Lake Charles and parish authorities
The resolutions referred to declared that
the quarantine againat the East would be
drawn much tighter; that they would do
all In their power TO make Lake Charles
the Eastern terminus Of the Southern Pa
cific; that their lumber and shingles might
have an outlet to market and declared that
they would unalterably oppose any at
tempt to come in from the East with
trains, and. IL necessary, would each vol
nnteer as guard to see that no trains
arrived from that direction.
The Southern Pacific respected the city's
wishes and made no attempt to operate
trains in or out OF Lake Charles. It was
thought better judgment would prevail in
day or two and trains from as far East
as Lafayette would be permitted to come
West The smaller towns Of that portion
OF this road have long since become weary
OF quarantine and on several occasions
publicly condemned the Lake Charles peo-
pie for their action. AS the matter stands,
nothing will be moved from the parish OF
Calcasieu until Lake Charles ,oosens the
quarantine Altogether, or SO modifies 1t
that other towns along the line can en-
joy some Of the benefits of traffic.
