The Democratic rally under the au-

section of the city and collect the
same rates as now prescribed by the
city.
This proposition would give the CHI

would be $4,000 annual saving. In re-
lieving the city's pipe line of from one

pressure than it does now.
I would be very glad of an oppor-

Retaliatory Action.

1t is rumored that various ocean
steamship lines entering this port will
unite in an effort to secure a large por-
ton of the freights that the recent
agreement between the Chesapeake and
Ohio. Norfolk and Western and
Southern Railways, and the United
States Shipping Company, will divert to
this latter. ocean line. 1t is suggested
that If no other means will accomplish

panies that will suffer by the arrange

freights through the South and West
in the territory where the railroads
reaching Norfolk get their freights.

commerce law, to lay these freghts

as they do for the United States Ship

Statement From mr.. CuIp.

Mr. ]. M. Culp, traffic manager Of the
Southern Railway Company. being
asked by representative of this paper
for a statement regarding reports to
effect that the Southern railway had
entered into arrangements with other
lines by which export freights for the
South and West via Norfolk would be
transferred to Newport News and theI G
be loaded on board ship, said:
Under a recent arrangement entered
into between the Southern railway,
Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and
Western railroads. it was agreed that
these three through lines should deliver
freight at both Norfolk and Newport
News for export to London, Liverpool,
Hamburg and Rotterdam, the service
direct from Norfolk. The freights for
these points. in connection with South
ern railway and Norfolk and Western
will be increased instead of reduced
under the arrangement referred to-
1T Is designed that steamers sailing
direct from Norfolk shall take freight
not only from the Southern railway and
Norfolk and Western, but also from the
Chesapeake and Ohio. Seaboard Air
Line and Atlantic Coast Line likewise
Ships sailing from Newport News will
take freight from that point from the
various roads named. There has been
and is now no direct steamship service
from Norfolk for Antwerp, Glasgow
Amsterdam. Belfast and Dublin. but
under the arrangement proposed the
roads leading into Norfolk would be in
position to send their freights for these
ports through Norfolk. thereby sending
freights via Norfolk. which. except
under this arrangement, would have to
be sent over lines not operating
through the port of Norfolk
This arrangement, instead of operat-
ing against the port of Norfolk. is cal
culated TO improve the export traffic
through Norfolk. in that under it the
number of ships sailing from Norfolk
will be increased. and freight may be
shipped via Norfolk. which, in the alb
sence of this arrangement. might be
compelled to seek other routes not
operating via Norfolk"

THE RAILROAD COMBINATION
FOR EXPORT BUSINESS.
Under the above heading the Rich
mond Dispatch of Sunday publishes the
following:
Roanoke. Va, Oct. 13.-Much has been
said in the papers of the State in the
last few days with regard to an agree
inent between several large railways,
OF which the Norfolk and Western is
point, and to combine all export busi-
ness at Newport News. A representa-
tive OF the press called on Thomas S.
Davant, general freight agent of the
Norfolk and Western, on yesterday,
and asked him for an official state
ment. Mr.. Davant dictated the follow
ing. which he signed:
The facts are that the Norfolk and
western, southern and Chesapeake and
OHIO Railway Companies have entered
INTO an agreement to build up the eX-
port traffic through Hampton Roads
Under this agreement there will be d.
rect sailings to London Liverpool.
Hamburg and Rotterdam from both
Norfolk and Newport News To Ant
werp, Glasgow. Amsterdam Belfast
and Dublin the salings will be from
Newport News direct, and the Norfolk
and Western and Southern Railways
Will deliver their freight for these
points at Newport News. There has
Deen no service from Norfolk to these
ports. Experience has shown that there
is not sufficient traffic to maintain in
dependent steamship service from Nor
folk to all the ports named and the
plan referred to was decided upon as
the surest way of securing permanent
steamship lines from the ports OF
Hampton Roads,
Prom the above official statement 1t
will be seen that the agreement means
an interchange of shipping between
Newport News and Norfolk. The Ches-
apeake and Ohio will transfer freight
to Norfolk for such steamers as do not
touch at Newport News. The balance
Will. If anything. be in favor OF Nor
folk. In all. there Will be a fleet of
twelve steamers plying between Hamp-
ton Roads and the ports above named.
The agreement between the railroads
is merely to establish a sure means of
shipment, thine they have not always
enjoyed. owing to the independence of
the ship owners"
