SANTA FEE STATEMENT.
Freight Traffic Manager Bi6dle on the
Gulf Line Warfare.

st. Louis, Aug. 28.-Judge Thayer, of
the federal court. is expected to return
here today after his summer vacation,
and it is presumed that the receivers
of the Kansas City, Pittsburg < Gulf
line will take the earliest opportunity
of presenting to him the facts in rela-
ton to the cancellation of divisions on
the part of the leading western lines.
Freight Traffic Manager Biddle OF the
AtchiSOn, Topeka q santa re, makes
the following statement regarding the
action taken by that line
In regard to the SeabOard- Missouri
river situation, want to say that there
is no question of a boycott or of any
connivance between the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railway and the
other connections of the Kansas City,
Pittsburg & Gulf road. We have sim
rlv exercised our own judgment as to
whether it was wise for US to continue
friendly relations with a line that was
apparently doing all that it could to
disturb the rate situation throughout
the entire territory traversed by our
lines and without any compromising ad-
vantages to itself
when the committee of presidents
met with the Pittsburg & Gulf Off
Gals in New York a proposition was
made to arbitrate the question. Some
of the lines were opposed to arbitration
on the ground that there was nOtnlns
to arbitrate, the Pittsburg and Gulf
having assumed the right to fix a diff
ferential basis for itself; that the route
via the gulf ports was an unnatural
one and should not be recognized, and
that in addition to this, the concur
renee of the lines east of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river via the Atlantic ports must
be obtained to any such arbitration;
otherwise it would be impossible to
make effective any decision according
to a differential to the Pittsburg &
Gulf.
No agreement having resulted from
the New York conference, and every
other effort to secure a solution of the
question having failed, we individually
notified the Pittsburg & Gulf of the
cancellation of through rates and divi-
siOns."

CY LELAND'S ESCAPE.
Experience of Politicians In the Rock
Island Wreck

The Kansas City Times prints the
following concerning the Rock Island
wreck of Saturday night;
Cy Leland is being congratulated by
the settlers in Copeland county on his
escape from the Rock Island wreck at
Munsey Saturday night.
You ought to have been here Satur-
day evening, Cy," said one of his
friends I'VE had a bully game You
missed half your life
That's all right; came pretty near
missing the other half" replied the
boss. I'm pretty well satisfied"
Mr.. Leland says that when the whis-
ties blew and the air brakes We're turn
ed on he knew something was wrong.
I looked out Of the window he says,
Just in time to see the engineer and
mail clerks and baggage men jump. I
shut my eyes and got ready for the
shock. I got as far as Nov lay me
down to sleep when the smash came
and landed me in Nat Barnes lap"
After the wreck Nat Barnes of Wy
andOtte went out and laid down on the
grass in the hope that the claim adjus-
ter would come along and offer to COM
promise. None came, however, and as
the chiggerS were pretty bad he got up.
Billy Edwards, who used to lead the
Larned Coyotes when he wasn't selling
arid lands to immigrants, was so elated
over the escape that he sang gospel
hymns all the way into Topeka.
