ticket to Cincinnati for J13.70 when reg u.ar rate la S27.W, of which their share wou.d be about 56. In other words, the Houston Bast and West Texas is not too enough to pay its confcctlng lines something more than 57 for the privilege of se curing a passenger for them. Railroads -have a very regard for their connecting lines, ibut when it cornea to putting up cash for them they generally stop the deal and commence over Upon being questioned further upon this subject. General Passenger Agent Downey had 'this 'to about the matter: To avoid misrepresentations of our action making reduced rates to eastern pjlnts, I will give you the following facts with rcfp'-eaec-tp the present situation: In flrst place I desire to say we-acted with he best intentions, and our aim was solely protect ourselves, We have not bsen instructed or advised by other lines as' to a plan cf action in any particular, and what we have done ha? been of our own aci-ord without the solicitation of any other line, and believe our action has bepn clearly vithin the bounds of reason and justice i'ou are aware that Texas lines ccmplle and publish Joint late subecl for the purpose of arriving- at and maintaining cor- ect rates. Whenever these rates are It must be with the concurrence it all lines directly interested.

Now we are a. member of said rate sheet and our 'ine forming: the shortest route to eastern tolnts from Houston, makes us the rate- making line from that poJnt, and we must eeess-arily be interested in such rates "The Houston-St. Louis lines arbitrarily educed t-hIr rates without even Jiotlfving of their action, and the first we knew it was the announcement in morning apeis of July "It seems to mo If other lines hp.ve -a iRht to reduce agreed rates 50 per cent to t. Louis without notice to us we certainly ave the same right to a reduction without orice to ourselves. Another con- iaeration which compelled our action was ic low rate made to Chlcat'o by basing on he cut rate to St.

Louis. The rate trt Phl- ago thus made Is 519.25. Now we "sell hrough Cincinnati, so the Cincinnati rate ouid not be higher, and if we had'made hem the same there would have been a rernendpus 'scaln'. at Cincinnati, which disturb. ClnclnnathOhlcagg rates as is local rate between these points is S.SO.

ami would be a flnft the rokers, and our proportion would not be larger than we get out of our smo afe to Cincinnati. You can therefore see hat our'action was In the line of railroading and was for the purpose not only protecting ourselves but our onnectlons as well and asserting our Shts In the premises. Another large fac- ir that was taken Into consideration le large number of return portions of ex- irslon tickets sold by St. Louis-Houston nes that are In the market, enabling Brokers to name rates as low as 513 to Chicago. I have seen myself return portions of round-trip tickets sold on July 1 through St.

Louis a were unsigned by purchasers or agent and bore a transit limit of fifteen clays -In each direction. Such tickets enable the brokers to take the matter of ratte making entirely out of the hands of general passenger aBents, causing large losses to the railroads. I wish distinctly understood a I am much opppscd 0 rate cutting, and the condition we would like lo see Is a nrrn stand In favor of tariff rates. The business of making secret cut rates 01 spasmodic open cut rates is harmful alike to the public and the rnil.v.iys and gives sr.me people an advance over others.

Active construction will begin-when this Is done and the Terminal road will be completed by January 1, 1896, when, according to Mr. Eugene Sweeney, all roads desiring entrance to Galveston can come here moderate compensation and ample facilities. He says that it Is an assured fact that the Southern Pacific, 'Missouri, 'Kansas and and ocher trunk -lines will use Lhls Terminal read anil terminals within the next twelve months.

POLK ON CHOPS.

Colonel J. Polk, general freight agent, and Mr. W. Pope, general auditor of he Qulf, Colorado an-J Santa Fe, returned rom a tour of the whole system, save the ranch from Cleburne to Paris. They were bsent eight or ten 'days 'and met and nlngled not only with the agents of their ompany, but with the shippers and busl- ess men generally.

"I lind the business men very conserva- ive," said Mr. Polk In discussing his jour- ey. "They are not looking for hard times, either are' they anticipating hilariously ood times. Everything'will run along in atural, sure and safe channels. I find the eduction of cotton acreage from 12'A to 15 er cent.

Cotton is very backward on ac- -'UiH of heavy rains, but I believe that If farmers have dry weather that cotton nil be In as good condition as last year mean by that that an acre of cotton this ear will, if there is no further rain mount to as much as an acre of cotton hers.
