CHICAGO, Aug. 17.--Radical means
are to be used to bring the Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf road to time
in the matter Of freight rates. which
that road makes too low to suit COM
petitors. Several of the more i'm
portant roads running southwest from
Chicago have decided to cut off all re-

sional arrangements will be discontin-
ued and the Gulf line left t 0 shift for
itself in the matter Of through connec.
tons to and from Chicago and st. Louis
districts and the Southwestern territory.
The question was brought to a head
at a meeting Of the freight officers Of
the Western roads in Chicago. The
conference was a stormy one, officers Of
several Of the roads advocating an open
and shut boycott Of the Gulf. While
this was not agreed to the result will be
practically the same. as officers Of all
the Chicago and St. Louis lines are
worked up to such a state Of indigna.

Arthur route that they are ready to

it and compel its receivers to advance
