TEXAS RAILROAD WAR
A THREE-CORNEBED FIGHT For
MILITARY PATRONAGE.
Hot Contest Over Contract to Haul
Troops from Houston to San
Antonio.

San Antonio. Texas, September &c Tho
contract for transporting two companies
of the Fourth Texas infantry from Hous
ton to San Antonio WAS awarded to tn
Southern r -ific today after a spirited and
bitter competition. Bids were called for
last week and the Southern Pacific. the
Katy and the 1nternational--the latter Two
iointlv-submttted bids. The Southern Pa
clfic bid was a cent and half mile,
while the Katy-1nternational bid was
slightly lower After bids were opened
soma question arose as to the equipment
OF the KntyInternational and the drct-
ness Of route. which resulted in secorh bids
being 9eked for The same roads bid the
second time and both cut the rate to the
bone, Both bids were under 81 per man
and the contract was awarded to the South
ern Pacific at 30 cents per man from Hous-
ton 10 san Antorio
The competition for this movement began
about ten days ago and has resulted In a
wholesale siashing Of passenger rates to
soldiers out OF San Antonio. About the
time bids were first called for the First
Texas cavalry in this city was ordered
mustered out and the granting Of furloughs
began Southern Pscific officials resented
the attempt of the Katy and International
to compete for Houston business from San
Antonio, and retalEated by cutting the
rate to furloughed soldiers to North Tex
as points This started merry war
which was kept up till round trip tickets
from San Antonio 10 Dallas, Fort Worth,
Denison, Sherman and other points were
selling for 81 so. The International and
Katy came back with cut in Houston
rates ard soon tickets TO Houston and re-
turn were going Mt 81.
General Passenger Agent Price OF the
International was in town Saturday try
ing to straighten out matters, but 1t is
rot certain that the trouble Is over
yet About all the busiress is over for
the present, but another North Texas COM
rany will be granted furloughs in day
or two and unless an agreement is reached
in the meantime it is very probable rates
will go to pieces again.
