The Rock Island, Union Pacific
and Missouri Pacific Combine.

Kansas City, July 15.-There is a
pretty row in prospect over the west
bound rate situation, though any ser
ious Generalization may be averted by
the lines agreeing upon some basis at
the meeting between the western execu-
tives and the coast and Gulf lines to
be held next Friday in New York
There was little trouble anticipated 50
long as the fight was confined TO the
Savannah line and the Pittsburgh & Gulf
railroad, but all the Kansas C1ty-Chi-
cago lines have adopted the so cent
scaIe-except the Santa Fe-and the
Missouri Pacific has named the same
rate to apply via St Louis. The
division of the traffic among the At
lanttc lines may cause friction before
the end is reached
The basing point for WestbOund
rates has been shifted from the 8Iissis-
Sippi to the Missouri river. the so cent
scale IS being used as a basing rate
for all points west of Kansas City, and
1t IS this condition that may cause all
the trouble. The Missouri Pacific, Rock
Island and Burlington all having lines
OF their own to Colorado and the close
traffic agreement that exists between
the Alton and Union Pacific Will have
the effect of isOlating the Santa F'e-
The same condition will apply via the
Gulf, the Southern Pacific using the
rate for basing purposes on all traffic
where lower com mbinatiOn can be made

and a tutor for the Royal family He
directed upon his death that ne be bur
led in the open churchyard but instead
he was buried in the Chancel and to
show his displeasure he caused it to
rain for 40 days. The start made to-
day looks as if it might rain again for
40 days but Kansas generally has a
dry speII'' in July. and the old adage
will probably not come true The pre-
