SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept 26.-In-
dications are that the meeting of the
Transmississippi Commercial congress
which will be held in San Antonio

several heated debates that will be of
national interest. Judge r. S. Lovett
of the Hartman lines, SB. r. Yoakum,
j. J. Hill and other distinguished rail

stood that certain shippers of the
Transmississippi section have asked

coming with lawyers and documents
in evidence to present their case to
the railroad magnates.
Clifford Pinchot will be in attend
ance, as we'll as many others who be-

sented at the congress. Mexico, of
course will have a large delegation
present, as the governors of every
state have been invited and nearly all
of them have accepted.
In addition to the foreign delega-
