RAILROAD WORLD.

Col. l.. B. Parsons, superintendent of the Birmingham and Atlanta division of the Seaboard, stated yesterday that the work of ballasting the track was pro- gressing rapidly and that 1t would not be long before 1t would be in condition to make travel safe.
 Already trains are running from Att lanta to Pell City, and 1t will not be long before the trains can be run through to Birmingham. The passenger depart ment of the road states that the Pell City business is rapidly improving and that it is growing larger every day.
 L. B. Washington, who was recently ap- pointed travelling passenger agent of the Frisco at New Orleans, went to the Cres- cent City yesterday to look over the ter- ritory there. Frank Newman. who sue ceeds Mir. Washington here as city pas senger agent, will arrive the early portion of next week. A delay has been caused in the transfer of the men on account of the illness of Jack Cornatzer. assist ant general rassenger agent at Memphis.
 J. H. McAllister, soliciting freight agent of the Norfolk and Western at chatta- nooga was in the city yesterday.
 The Frisco and the Southern will prob- ably build a mile or more of sidings in and around Bessemer in the near future in order to connect with all the indus tries. The two roads have used joint tracks for some time but now each of them is preparing to build It's own tracks so that they will be entirely independent of each other.
 This decision is the result of the little

the homeseelSers' and colonists' rates to Texas the territories and other western places which have been getting hundreds of people every month this winter from the south, many of whom went from Alabama.
 Twice a month rates are offered by the local roads touching the west and spe- cial trains have had to be run to accom- modate the crowds. As many as TOO have left Birmingham in one day to go to the west.
 An exchange says:
 The activity of western roads In work ing up emigration excursions from the territory contiguous to Atlanta Is getting on the nerves of the railway and commer- cial people of that town, and drastic meas ures are being planned to prevent the operation of emigration agents in that section.
 The first week in February there will be a meeting of the members of the Southeastern Passenger association in Mi- ami, and 1t Is expected that the matter of homeseekers rates to the west for two days in each month will be brought up for settlement, and, if necessary, some very drastic measures taken. All of the railroad men believe that thls Is one of the most important questions in the de- yelopmeat of the south.
 All of the southeastern roads are said to have been bitterly opposed to the move- ment of southerners to the west, away from their own territory. They claim, however. that the trouble Is due to cer- tain of the big western systems putting In excessively low rates to western points on two days in each month. and the south eastern lines have been compelled to meet competition to basic points
 This matter Is declared to have become so serious as to demand immediate action. and during the past week there have been several conferences on the matter be- tween the highest officials of all the roads running Into Atlanta. All are said to have agreed that the tide of emigration must be stopped and ways and means are now being devised by these officials which will be exploited at the meeting of the conference committee at Miami
 It is stated that most of this trouble Is made by agents of western land com panles going up and down the roads of southern states, mixing with the farmers and pointing out the wealth to be gain ed in the Western Eldorado. Tn this way they persuade them to sell their farms and their belongings and emigrate to the west, to the end that the western ter ritory Is being rapidly developed and the territory to which Atlanta furnished sup plies is being depopulated in a meas ure that has aroused the anxieties and active opposition of the commercial in- terests of that city.
 It Is undoubtedly true, however that Memphis is greatly the gainer by reason of this same tide of western mmgra- ton, and there is little doubt that the officials of the western and southwestern roads will make a strenuous fight against any schedule looking to the looping off of these excursions.

disagreement over the right of the Frisco to handle Seaboard cars over the joint tracks of the Southern and the Frisco. This matter has been amicaby settled for the time being and the Seaboard cars are being handled by the Frisco. but 1t will cause that road and the Southern to build many sidings and switches which were formerly used in common.
 The Southern has already built some sldings and tracks into some of the plants, and 1t will not have to build as much as the Frisco, which will have considerable construction to do. It will be only a short time before this con struction is commenced, as the Frisco needs the trackage now more than eyer. as the Seaboards business Is also handled there by that road
