President Ripley and Santa Fe
Officials Reach Galveston.
viii Not Discuss Possibility of
Purchasing Texas Central.
WANT TO REACH WACO.
May Use Cotton Belt Track to
That Point.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Galveston, Tex, Nov. 16.=President
z. P. Ripley, of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe. and party of the officials
arrived here yesterday morning and
after spending the day inspecting the
company's properties here, left on
their tour to the Pacific coast. The
party is travelling in a special of three
cars and expect to conclude their trip
so that they can return to Chicago
for Thanksgiving day.
President Ripley says he and his
party are making a tour Of inspection
of the system and that there is moth
ing in it out of the ordinary. The all
a bsorbing question of the present visit
to Texas has aroused the press to COM
ment upon the Santa Fe either getting
! control of the Texas Central or secur-
ing trackage arrangements with the
Cotton Belt to enter Waco by this
route. President Ripley was not pre-
| pared to discuss these propositions. It
was not expected he would and yet it
would not be out of the line of posi-
bilities for the Santa Fe to acquire the
Texas Central
1t is known that the Santa Fe would
like very much to get into Waco. There
| is no denying that fact 1t is also UNI
| derstOod negotiations were opened
with the Cotton Belt with d view of
using the latter's tracks into Waco via
!
tiations are not known, but it is be-
| lieved they are still pending and that
before many moons the Santa Fe will
get into Waco. It is quite likely the
Cotton Belt will permit the use of its
tracks if it gets what it. wants for the
privilege and if the Santa Fe is willing
to give what is asked. It is expected,
however, that any arrangements along
this line will be announced first from
the headquarters of the gulf division
of the system at Galveston.
AS to the Texas Central. it is under
stood the Santa Fe would buy that
line if terms could be arranged and
the Texas Central owners would sell
Whether any advancement along this
line has been made is not given out.
President Hamilton of the Texas Cen
trail declares positively the property is
not for sale and maybe he is right Yet
it might be sold without his saying so
in print until the deal has been con-
summated.
President Ripley could not promise
that the causeway would be built this
year, and while willing to admit that
it might be a good thing he was not
prepared to say just what the Santa Fe
might do should the proposition be-
come serious

OPPOSED TO RATE BILL.
Coal Mining Companies Are Against
Esch-TOwnsend Measure.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 16.-Coal min

nessee. at a meeting in this city took
the initiative in the matter of formal
protest against the passage by con-
gress of the Esch Townsend railroad
rate bill. There were ffty-three com
panies represented at the meeting.
The coal miners of Ohio. Indiana, Hi
nois and all the southern states have
promised to cooperate with the pres
ent body. A resolution, of which the
following is a part, was adopted:
Any legislation that will radically
disturb the prevailing conditions as to
the making and changing of tariff
rates will inure to our injury by de-
stroying the elacticity of present rate
making methods, and, so far as coal
rates are interfered with at all by
establishing rates depending princi-
paIly on mileage, success viii depend
on geograp hicaI relation to the points
of consumption, and local monopolies
will be created by law, which the pres

impossible. While we recognize that
there are evils to remedy, we do not
believe that the Esch-Townsend bill or
any other similar legislation, giving
any commission the power to make
rates, will furnish any relief There
fore, we oppose the passage of the
same.

CONCESSION TO SHIPPERS.
Arbitrary Minimum for Car Loads Of
Oranges Abolished.


An important concession to the re-
quest of orange shippers has been made
by the freight officials of the Atchison,
topeka & Santa Fe in a marked reduc-
ton Of the minimum weight Of ship
ments, demanded by the railroad COM
pany to the carload.
Heretofore an arbitrary minimum of
&c 900 hounds has been demanded by
the railways irrespective of the eapac-
itv of.the cars. These vary from SO to
40 feet in length. the shippers claiming
that the former minimum weight Of 26,-
600 was too high for the shorter cars
and crowded the fruit to an extent that
initiated against its carrying.
This fact of varying length of cars
has been recognized by the railway
company and they have now made a
minimum of "a 100 pounds or 338 boxes
of oranges for the Sc foot cars, and one
of q. 600 pounds or 3S4 boxes for the 40
foot cars.
on lemon shipments the minimum for
the 36-foot cars will be 4,1e0 pounds
and on the 4O-foot cars 26,200 pounds.
This ruling will be en- effect IN a Few
days time when the circular will be
issued.
