EXPRESS COMPANIES
WILL LEAVE TEXAS.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 15.-It is re-
ported on apparently trustworthy
authority that the four express
companies now operating on Texas
railroads are considering the mat
ter of Withdrawing entirely from
Texas, and that such action has
been practically decided upon.
1t ia asserted that the new tariff
of express rates promulgated by
the Railroad Commission, being a
reduction of 10 per cent as compar-
ed with existing rates, would
obliterate nearly all the profits now
obtained by the express companies
on their Texas business, and that
there is no inducement for them to
continue to operate on cXas roads.
The companies affected are the
Wells Fargo, the Pacific, the United
States and the American.
According to the report current
here today, the notice of their
proposed withdrawal from Texas
will be issued in a few days.
