what Passed Betwecn Them In CAL
weston Wednesday.
Galveston. Texas. March 3O.--Collis r.
Huntington and J. l.. Smith had meeting
in the Union depot at Galveston yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Smith is the gentleman
who paid the first money on the purchase
of the La Porte.
When Mr.. Huntington entered Mr. Smith
went up to him and said:
We'll, Mr. Huntington, We hope you will
use the road
NO said Mr.. Huntington; you know
what told YOU"
Then Mr. Huntington walked away.
Huntington II is impossible to say what Is
his relation or what will be his relation TO
the La Porte. His answer to the straight
question as to whether he had purchased
the property was denial. but qualified In
such d way that II mems nothing. He
said he had not bought the road, but
didn't know what his people In New York
might have done.
That Mr. Huntington has given much
thought TO the La Porte is evident from
the many inquiries he made while here
yesterday regarding the road and its facil-
ities, II must also be remembered that
twice he tried to purchase the rosd--onoe
going as high as a million dollars with his
bid.
The fling of the articles Of incorpora-
ton may throw good deal OF light on the
situation,
