THE MERCHANTS, RATE.
II Has Not Been Withdrawn ana Ia
Being Met.


In connection with the reported with
drawal OF the merchants rate from Tex
as points to New York the passenger
officials of the Sunset route in this city
very emphatically deny the truth OF the
rumor so far as their lines are concerned.
Passenger Traffic Manager Morse of the
Sunset remarked yesterday that the mer-
chants rate would be carried out as per
the announcement Of the fact issued by
the Merchants Association OF New York
City under recent date, irrespective Of
what reports might be published regard
ing the matter generally
This rate is one and one-third fare
rate. and the duty of advertising the rate
devolves upon the New York Merchants
association and not the railroads. The
fare from Houston to New York is S41l5.
The purchaser of ticket on arriving
in New York must deposit his eerthcate
and then secure a ticket TO return at one
third of the regular rate. On the strong
lines the full rate is S44s0 and on the
differental lines Sil.sO.
1t was announced, when this rate was
re-establlshed, that the Southern Pacific
was the only line making the rate and in
consideration Of the concession ell Texas
merchants would allow the members OF
the New York Merchants association Ia
route all their freight via the Southern
Pacific. At the time The Post suggested
that all rail lines and rivals of the South
ern Pacific would hardly agree to this
and this prediction is verified. The In
ternational and Great Northern has sold
number of tickets on the merchants
rate and is understood to have severa
more sales in sight What the outcome
will be remains to be seen. but the pros
poets are that all lines will openly quot
the rate, regardless of the South western
association.

the former Governor Of Guam. He said
to n reDCrter:
Il am for standing by the Government

by that that there should be no parleying

If | had to do with them | would not en-

The Government should be maintained

pie who are way up: such men
I'd better not mention their names. They
