y. aud q.
Beaumont, Texas, February 7.Major J..
c. Nov has been appointed commercial
agent of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf railroad with headquarters at Beau
mont. The appointment also authorizes his
acting in the same capacity for the Kansas
City and Northern connecting lines, the
Omaha, Kansas City and Eastern and the
Omaha aud st. Louis railroads. The APP
pointment was made effective ttr first OF
the month but it did not become public
until yesterday. Major Nov has been II
Resident of Beaumont for nearly two years
and has many warm friends in this city.
He came here to accept the local agency
of the Texarkana and Fort Smith a part
of the Pittsburg and Gulf system, when
that road was first completed front. Beau
mont to Port Arthur, aud he conducted the
road in such way as to make its onnra-
ton profitable for more than year bifore
1t was connected with the road from the
North. When the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf was completed Major Now was,
retained as local agent until six or seven9
weeks ago when he resigned because OF a
misunderstanding with the auditing de-
partment. An investigation fully exon
Grated him and as evidence of appreciation
of past services he has been appointed COM
mercial agent and assigned TO a most inn
portant territory The appointment Is very
acceptable to the Beaumont shippers and
the general impression is that Major Now
will add to the popularity of tho Kansas
CITY pittsburE and Gulf.

ton to Export Cotton Figures.

ports for the week was 1l.423 bales. whiie
the figures for the movement yin Now Or
leans we're 27 ,2S9. The point attempted 10
be made by Mr.. Denison was that - per
cent Of tho Texas crop is going out viz New
Orleans, while but 80 per cent goes cut
via Galveston under the influence OF CAS-
criminatory rates which the Sontaern Ia
cihc is alleged TO be carrying. Gniorninasc-
IL for Mr. Denison's point. however, a
telegram was received from Secretary MIr-
tin OF the Houston Cotton Excnanse tA-
planning that in the report quoted Wy the
former the figures had been transposrd by
the printer and that the correct sta'eme ut
of the movement OF cotton for the week
ending February was that 70 per ceht
had gone out via Galveston and 80 per cent

TROUBLE IN THE souTnEAsr.
The Illinois Central Wtthdrnvs
from nm Agreement.


from an Agreement.
Chicago dispatch says:
Southern lines are in trouble over pas
senger rates Less than three weeks ago
the lines met and agreed that rates should
be maintained aud that no excessive com
missions We're to be paid on party business,
The Illinois Central yesterday announced
that 1t would withdraw from this agree
ment which became effective January %.
The break seems TO have started out of a
fight for the travel 10 a convention OF The
hotel men which Is to be held in New Or
leans in April. The Illinois Central an
nounced that following the usual pre-
oedent. It had rendered rate Of 81 a
mile for train from Chicago to New or
leans and return, making $lSi6 for the
round trip. The other lines objected 10 hay-
ing any rate made for them by the lll-
nois Central and so advised Passenger
Agent Hanson. The Alton took occasion TO
suggest that the Illinois Central had put
the rate too high in view OF the rates 1t
had made for carrying political parties 10
Memphis.
''The breakup of the rate agreement at
a time when the Florida travel is at its
height is an unfortunate incident for the
roads. The original troubles arose out OF
party business to Florida points and the
chances are now that rates on this class
of travel Will 20 to pieces
