To this rate the Houston and Texas
Central entered objection. but MS the In

chartered the train they could not change
the rate.
The next move, so It is understood, was
made by the Central people giving notice
that they would run an excursion, leay-

the fare would be So from Galveston und

Texarkana, Texas, August 4.-The trunk
lines of railroads centerirg at this place
have within the past two weeks, ex-
panded on all of their passenger facili-
ties, it becoming necessary because of
the great increase in that department.
For some time past agents OF foreign
routes have swarmed this section and
complete advertisement OF watering
places and their accesslbilities has be
made The rates and limits have also
shown more inducements than offered IN
previous years, making travel unusually
popular during this season. There has
also been considerable European depart
ures from this point during the past
month.
