SAVING on FREICnr nATEs.

Packing House Products Exported
by Way OF Port Arthur.
Chicago. February 1.--ft was definitely
stated yesterday upon authority OF one OF
the leading packing houses OF this city
that packing house products are to be ex-
ported from Chicago by way OF Kansas
City and Port Arthur at a saving OF from
TO 10 cents per 100 pounds, as compared
with present freight rates from here to
New York and Boston. Contracts. II IS
alleged, have been entered into With the
Chicago and Great Western and the Kansas
City. Pittsburg and Gulf to carry the
freight from this city to Port Arthur. The
latter railroad has arranged for a line OF
steamers to ply between its gulf terminal
and continental ports, and these steamers
will take freight for the ocean journey.
The first OF these water carriers Will leave
Port Arthur within IA few days. The pres
ent freight rate from Chicago to New York
and Boston on this class of shipments Is
80 cents per 100 pounds. The new ratio
via Kansas City and Port Arthur. there
fore, must be In the neighborhood of 20
or so cents. The present tariff rate from
Kansas City TO Port Arthur is 22la cents.
and that from Chicago to Kansas City is
22ts cents. The new rate from Chicago 10
Port Arthur, therefore, cuts the OLD one
from % TO Is cents.

cause II was not made week ago. Al
thM time neither tho transporfation burcal
nor the 5obbers interested have been able
10 get any definite information from the
general officials Of the road. Indeed, until
yesterday, when the above interview was
given. not one Pittsburg and Gulf offisial
could be found who would admit tha. the
diffcrcntial to Omaha was to be wiped out,
NO tariffs were publishcd ana neither an
affirmative nor negative abatement con-
corning reports could be had.
And now that 1t has come. shippers are
more inclined to regard It az joke than
anything else 1t was on Friday that tho
Memphis took the field and led IN the
fight by reducing the Kansas City rate 8
cents below what 1t was reported. AMI Is
now confirmed, the pittsburg and Guls ir-
tended to make TO Omaha. This action on
the part Of the Memphis may have had
something TO do with the pittsburg and
Gulf announcing that the previous report
about the reduction was correct

The fact that the Lone Star and the KAN

OF the New York conference leads railroad
men here to believe that the agreement
entered into few days ago is neither per-
feet nor binding. The Lone Star line is
known to have a number OF railroad friends
In the fold. and they feel assured that they
will be protected There was nothing
known about the rates further than the
press dispatches OF yesterday morning. and
several OF the Houston officials have wired
for full details of the meeting and what is
hoped 10 be accomplished.
Another feature that nas not heretofore
been brought out is the blow driven at the
east and west lines. Those roads that use
the Memphis and Vioksburg us gateways
feel that they have been dealt with unfairly
ana the opinion was advanced yesterday
that 1t would result in Il Interruption o. the

The BAY SHORES AFFAIRS.
There Is More Trouble Ahead for
the Little Road.
TRUST COMPANY WANTS POSSESSION
All Creditors Cited In Cross Bill
Filled Yessertlny-Their Lien
II First.

Galveston, Texas, February 1.--Anothel
complication was added to tho affairs o
the La Porte railroad today by the films
in the United States court for this distric
Of cross bill by the Continental Trus
company OF New York. 1t is directed
against Alonzo j. Tullock Of Kansas, l.. j
Smith of Missouri, the La Porte and Little
Susie" railroads, T. w. Ford. David II.
Stuart Thomas J Boyles, Isaac Hebron
Walter Gresham. b. Adoue. j. Lobit. the
Union Trust company OF New York, the
Leon & H. Blum Land company, the CAL
weston, Houston and Henderson railroad,
the Magnolia Park Belt Line company, h.
NJ. Blair. the First National bank OF Hous-
ton. A. s. Hall and all other creditors OF
the La Porte read.
As a matter of form the cross bill re-
cites the fact of the road going into the
hands of a receiver ON tho petition of A.
j. Tullock. Then the charge is made that
the receivers, acting under orders from the
court, have issued receivers certificates,
the claim being made for such certificates
that they IRE first lien on the property
Of the road. The Continental Trust COM
pany in its cross bill filed today denies
absolutely that the lien created by the re-
ceivers certificates is prior to its trust
mortgage lien which it holds. The docu-3
ment further AYERS that such alleged is
suing of certificates was made without no.
tice to them and before they had become
a party to this suit.
The cross bill then sets out at length
tho details of Its transactions with the LA
Porto road. On April /, 1895, while the
road was building it delivered to the Con-
tinental Trust company its deed OF trust
to the extent of s2S,2o0 per mile Of road
that should actually be built. In July Of
the same year the officials of the road
attested under oath that fifty-two miles
cf the road were completed. In the four
months following the road delivered to the
Continental Trust company $50 $1,000 bonds
payable in 1896 The bonds were duly reg
istered and approved by the railroad COM
mission. Default was made IN the pay
ment OF interest en- these bonds since Oe-
tober, 1895. and hence under the terms CT
the mortgage the Trust company claims
n first lien and right TO the possession
Of the property The cross bill enters a
general denial that the claims of any OF the
other creditors are superior to the len
held by the said Continental Trust COM
pany.
