ADJUSTMENT OF RATES.
The Chicago and st. Louis Lines
Seek to COerce the Pee Gee.

The Chicago and st. Louis Lines
Seek to COerce the Pee Gee.
st. Louis, July 1S-The executive Of
ficers and traffic officials of the Western
and Southwestern lines have held several
meetings here during the past few days.
The object of each meeting was virtually
the same, the adjustment of rates from
Missouri river points TO the Atlantic sea-
board and gulf ports.
The trouble has arisen over cut rates
made by the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf from Atlantic seaports via Galveston
to Kansas City and Missouri river points.
While the water and rail distances by
this route are more than double that by
the all-rail route from New York, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore and other Eastern
points, still the Pittsburg and Gulf has
been making a rate that is rulnous to
traffic which should pass through the st,
Louis and Chicago gateways
The receivers of the Pittsburg and Gulf
road claim that their line is not particu-
larIy interested in either St Louis or Chi
cago traffic, and having TO compete with
other Southwestern lines which use these
gateways it must cut the rates in order 10
obtain it's share of the business.
The situation was canvassed and tn
oushly discussed IRON every point of view.
1t was generally admitted that unless
some arrangement was made demorall-
cation of freight rates in the West ana
Southwest would surely follow.
The result of the meeting was the APP
Monument of committee of five presidents
to confer with the receivers of the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg and Gulf and ask them
to withdraw the existing cut rates. the
lines whose presidents were selected are
the Santa Fe, Missouri Kansas AMI Texas,
Missouri Pacific, Milwaukee and st. Paul
and the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy.
The receivers OF the Pittsburg and CUR
are Colonel S. w. Fordyce and Webster
| Withers. This committee will report the
result of the conference to supsequent
meeting OF executive officials to be heid III
/ the near future.

ALL ROADS NOW OPEN.
Through Traffic to Northern and OlheI
Points Is Resumed.
ALL LINES RUN THEIR TRAINS TODAY
The General Tie-Up Caused by the
Floods Is Ended, and Railroad
Business Is uninterrupted.

All the railroads centcring In Houston
are wide open for through business this
morning, and every line will run over its
own road except the Houston and Texas
Central and the Santa Te. The washouts
on these great iron highways are not yet
entirely repaired, but 1t is expected that
by tomorrow night or Sunday morning at
latest these roads will also have their
tracks from end to end in good condition
for freight and passenger traffic.
The Sunset was opened for business
yesterday morning and its trains passed
over the Brazos river near Richmond in
safety at high noon. This was the prin-
cipal point on the road where the floods
interrupted through traffic, but now every
obstacle is removed and business goes on
| as usual.
Following the opening Of the Sunset.
kilograms were received in Houston an
nouncing the pleasant views that the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway had re-
paired all the damages done " the re-
cent overiows, and that its line was also
open for through traffic TO and from all
points. Schedule service will be IN full
blast over this line this morning
The New York, Texas and Mexican (the
MacaronD is likewise open for bus!ne
and last evening for the first time In eight
days its train arrived in this city from
! Victoria. 1t will leave here on schedule
1 time this morning.
AS previously stated in The Post, the
Houston and Texas Central has resumed
through business between this city and
Austin. In addition. the company has ar
n aia, D
tween Denison and Houston. These are
last night mail trains, and they will run
to Waco over its own line. thence over
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas to Elgin,
where they connect with the Austin
branch CT the Houston and Texas Cen
tral. These flyers will carry the usual
full complement of hrst-class sleepers and
will handle all mail. luggage and express
packages. Trains Nos and 2 will run
between Houston and Benchley, on the
first division, and between Calvert and
Denison on the second division. until the
road opens up for complete through bust
ness. Under this temporary arrangement
train No. will leave Houston at o'clock
p. M, and train No. will leave Deni-
son on regular schedule time. The re-
pairs on the damaged portions of the road
are being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. There is some comparatively
slow and difficult work to be done at
Pin Oak, north of Hearne, where there is
considerable heavy piling necessary and
where over 1000 feet of embankment has
to be rebuilt. Notwithstanding this how
ever, the prospects are favorable for open
ing the entire line by tomorrow night.
1t will thus be seen that all lines CEN
tering in Houston, including the Sunset,
the Katy, the Houston and Texas Central,
the Santa Fe. the Arkansas Pass, the In
ternational and the Macaronl are now
omen for through business the other lines
