WAR IS SPREADING.
Likely to Be Great Carnival of Rate
Cutting.

Chicago, Sept. A rate war cover
ing the United States is feared as the
result of a heavy cut, effective this
week.
Efforts of competitors to induce the
Grand Trunk to withdraw its $24 round
trip rate from Chicago to New York
proved unavailing. The company has
notified its Chicago-St. Paul connections
that they may use the $24 rate to New
York tomorrow as a basing rate in con-
nection with the IS round trip rate in
effect between st. Paui and Chicago to-
day.
This makes a through rate of S32
from st. Paul and Minneapolis via the
Niagara frontier to New York,as against
the SIS rate to New York from St. Paul
and Minneapolis, via Montreal. The S24
round trip rate from Chicago to New
York will be met by all the differential
lines east from Chicago, but the stand
ard lines probably will ignore it, They
feel they would lose thousands of dollars
through manipulation of the return cou-
pons by scalpers. Even as it is the adop-
ton of the $24 round trip rate by the
differential lines will cause considera BILE
Generalization during the first two
weeks of September.
Fears are entertained that the trou-
BILE will spread to ST. Louis, Kansas
City, and southwestern Missouri river
points. An official of one of the western
roads said yesterday that his road pro-
poses to put in correspondingly low
rates from Kansas City and st. Louis to
New York. If this is done a serious
passenger rate war is likely to be in
augurated.

WANT THEIR PASSES.
Kansas Stockmen Will Not Willingly
Surrender Privileges.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept 4-The an
nouncement at Chicago Tuesday that
the executive officials of the various
western railroads had decided to dis,
continue, after January l, issuing free
return transportation to live stock
shippers who accompany their consign-
ments to market, was a topic of gen
eral discussion among the shippers who
were on the local market yesterday.
Without exception the stockmen con-
denim the action of the railroad officials
in unmeasured terms. There is no
doubt that sentiment against the en-
forcement of the rule win be aroused
in all sections of the west, and an or
ganized effort made to have the Off
Gals rescind their action. The new rule
was not generally known yesterday but
It will not be long until every shipper
In the west will protest.
In what form the protests will be
made is not determined. The matter
will undoubtedly receive attention at
the annual meetings of the various live
stock associations, and unless the Off
cials recede from their position the
matter will find its way into the courts.

HE ESCAPED.
A Prisoner at Wichita Got Away
While on Way to Jail.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. &C. w. An
derson, for whom two additional war
rants were. issued yesterday charging
him with obtaining money under false
pretenses, gave himself up to the Off
GERS, but before they reached the jail
escaped.
Anderson, with the deputy marshal of
the city court, was passing band
concert when a horse in the crowd
started to run away. The officer sprang
to the ground to catch it, when his pris-
oner seized the lines, lashed his horse
into a run, dashed through the crowd
and since then no news of him has been
received. The horse and buggy belong
ed to a local livery barn. Anderson is
the agent of prominent soap factories,
persuading his patrons to buy from
him at much higher than regular prices
by promising to send them valuables
with each purchase.

der the direct SUPERVISION of R. A.
Stewart. another Rock island engineer.
The shaft has reached the depth of 20
feet and ore which is rich in copper and
silver, and assays $104 to the ton, is be-
ing taken out as rapidly as both day
and night shifts will permit. 1t is the
intention of Mr.. Stewart to sink the
shaft to the depth of It's or 200 feet if
necessary. as every foot has so far dis
closed richer ore. It is not questioned
but what the company's claims are rich
in paying mineral. Men connected with
the company are constantly searching
the territory lying adjacent to their
claims in the hope of discovering other
valuable mineral deposits, all of which
would enter into the companys posses
sion and would make the stock more
valuable.
1t IS now understood that one of the
principal reasons for the Rock Island
directors recent trip over the south end
of this division was to inspect the coun-
try through which the proposed link
between the Rock Island and the Santa
Fe would pass. The Onervo Mining
company's claims are located in this
vicinity and should the proposed line
be built and necessary station facilities
be granted to them by the Rock Island
their claims would eventually be classed
with the best and most promising in
this vicinity

WORK IN OKLAHOMA.
Missouri Pacific Said to Be Planning
an Extension.

The work of constructing the Mis-
souri,. Kansas & Texas extension into
Oklahoma from Coffeyville, Kas., is
progressing rapidly. The grading force
has reached a point in the Usage ma
ton. near Bartlesville. I. T., where a
steel bridge was placed during the week
over Sand creek. The grading is being
pushed toward the Arkansas river
where another bridge contract is neces-
sary. When this new extension is
finally completed the construction of
iron sDaEs over all the trestIes on the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas system will
be begun The grading of the Katy ex-
tension southwest from Guthrie into
Texas is also active. the entire Okla
homa extension to extend from Coffey-
vile into Texas.
For year past rumors have been
current in railroad circles that the Mis-
souri, Pacific had plans to enter Okla
homa, passing through Oklahoma City
and westward. It is now claimed that
for the construction of such a line the
Central Construction company, with
headquarters at Shawnee and Fort

SAY IT MEANS RUIN.
Express Companies Plead Against a
Reduction in Texas Rates.

Austin, Tex, Sept 4.-The rehearing Of
the proposition to make a horizontal re-
duetion of 10 per cent in the express
rates in Texas took place before the
railroad commission today. Attorneys
and railway and express company Of
ficials were present. among the the lat

T. D. Adams, superintendent of the
American Express company, st. Louis.
No one appeared in advocacy of the
proposed reduction. The express offfc-

effects which the reduction in rates
would have on the Texas revenues of
the respective companies. The railroad
commission took the matter under ad-

MUST BUY NEW WATCHES.
New Order by Manager Herbert
Makes Engineers Very Mad.

The Colorado & Southern is under
stood to be face to face with a strike by
the engineers on that road unless a re-
cent action of ]. M. Herbert, the vice
president and general manager is re-
scinded. 1t is reported that a change
in the watch inspectors recently took
place and that this was followed by
an order condemning all of the watches
used by the engineers on the road The
engineers, it is said. were then instruct
ed to buy a certain watch which is
manufactured in St. Louis. The cost
of the watches condemned is said to be
about $4,000, and the engineers have
protested gainst being required to spend
their money for new watches.
A complaint was, lodged with the
management in which the engineers de-
sire to know why their watches had
all been condemned and defied Mr.. Her
bert to show where they had ever failed
to keep correct time. This apparently
had no effect, so the matter was taken
up by the engineers as an organization.
Several conferences have been held
without result, and it is reported that
the head officers of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers will from now
on conduct the negotiations.

LARGEST ON RECORD.
Santa Fe's Merchandise Shipments
Make New Mark.

Commenting on the Santa Fe July
earnings the Chicago Tribune says:
Large part of the increase in the
Santa Fe earnings shown in the state
ment for July is due to the heavy
movement of general merchandise,
which has surpassed all records in the
history of the company. Net earnings
also snow an increase of about II per
cent in July. Since the end of May the
earnings of the road have not been
called upon to supply any considerable
amount of cash for extraordinary ex-
penses. The heavy task of relayins
rails ended with the month of May. The
Santa Fe's heaviest improvements are
completed, and current earnings will
not henceforth be called upon for any
thing more than a conservative allow
ance for maintenance of way and equip
ment in addition to the operating ex-
penses. The latter will continue to be
heavy, owing partly to increased cost
of fuel, labor and materials"

RUSH OF BUSINESS.
Fort Scott Shops Turning Out Seven
and Eight Engines q Month.

Fort Scott, Kan, Sept. 4.-The Mis-

time and full capacity. but more men
are being employed now than at any
previous time in the history of the
shops. Much overtime is consumed and
the work proceeds on Sunday most of
the time. Master Mechanic Kellogg is
very much elated over conditions. He
says that all departments are rushed
and that the outlook for a continuance
all through the winter is encouraging.
Mr.. Kellogg says the engine department
is worked to it's utmost capacity, turn
ing out seven and eight locomotives

passes to every owner who accompan-
les his shipment
The new regulations which eliminate
return passes to stock shippers have
been in force on all railroads east of
Chicago for several years. Stock ship
ments there are not nearly S great as
in the west and little complaint was
made. A return pass is highly valued
by a western shipper and the privilege
will not be taken from him without
a fight The railroad officials gave as
a reason for the new rule that many
shippers have abused the privilege and
have sold their extra passes to the
hated ticket scalpers. Under the pres
ent rule a return pass is issued with
two or more cars of stock. The extra
passes are obtained by men who ship
more than two cars and bill them in
different names.

CAN'T BE IMPROVED.
Passenger Men Say the "Hotel Train
Is impractical.

Chicago. Sept Passenger officials
of the transcontinenta1 roads seem to
be of the unanimous opinion that the
reported plan for the establishment of
palatial hotel train service between
New York and San Francisco is a wild
pipe dream" 1t is, they declare,
wholly imDracticable. In the first
place, it would be impossible to improve
the equipment now in use on limited
trains between Chicago and California
points. That equipment represents the
highest development of the art of pala-
tial car building which it has been pos
sible to attain. The only way in which
the trip could be made any more lux
uriOuS than it is at present would be
to assign to each passenger more space
than is now allotted, and of course this
would correspondingly reduce the num-
Der of passengers that could be car
ried-
Limited train service as at present
operated. even when all the space in
each train is occupied, is not profitable.
To reduce the number of passengers
carried to the extent involved in the
proposed hotel train service would
make necessary the doubling, if not the
trebling. of the rates now in effect
Passenger officials have noticed that
the patrons of their limited trains are
no more anxious to increase the cost
of the journey across the continent than
other people. If by any means they can
clip 81 or 81 from normal rates they are
highly pleased, and that they would be
willing under any circumstances to pay
two or three times as much as they are
now Obliged to do is to the experienced
passenger official wholly indispensable.
Another reason given for regarding
the proposed plans wholly impracticable
is that there are not sufficient first
class passengers travelling from the
east through to California to support
such a service. A few trips might be
made in the middle of the winter sea-
son, but two or three would wholly ex-
/ L.
this special service is intended to serve.
Such train from New York to Florida
points in the winter season might be
| literally patronized, but to California
would be a fiat failure. Any attempt to
establish it will meet with no support
| whatever from the roads.
