CHAIN' ' COISC TJ 5IIE GULF Possib'lity ' of a devolution jn , ho Shipments of Corcals from the' ' 'West ' , CHICAGO DEALERS BECOMING ALARMED Nclirnnkn Homlx Uiiter lulu Trnllte Ar range in en IN ltli I III' lilni'M Cen- nl ( inlvi-Mou li' ) Ti-iiNo In Ki P. 0. Lclnnil , assistant general freight agent of the Missouri , Kntisns & Texas rail way sjBtcin , was In Omaha Tuesday. The object of his conferences with the tallroail men hero was to take up some slack In the traffic arrangements between hero and Gal- vcston , and other gulf ports. The aftermath of his vlall will appear within the next fort night In the form of much closer relations between the Nebraska and Iowa railroads and the "Katy" for the shipment of grain to the ports of the Oulf of Mexico Instead of to those on the Atlantic seaboard. That was the opinion of freight men In Omaha yesterday. The Uurtinglon has already entered Into a through tralllc agreement with the "Katy" for the shipment of grain to Galvcston , turnIng - Ing It over to the southern road at Hannibal. The HI It horn road has announced that In the future It will carry , all grains destined for the southern ports directly to Superior , this stale , and that there It will bo promptly transferred to the Santa I'o road , Insuring through service and rapid transit. Mr. Drew found more dlfllculty in making through tralllc amusements with the Iowa lines. It Is apparent that the Milwaukee , thu Wabash or any other railroad would prefer to get a long eastern haul on grain from Missouri river points rather than take It from Iowa points to Kansas City. On the short haul theao roads get but from 5 to 8 cents out of It , while they get more than double that amount of freight charges by carrying the grain to Chicago. It 'Is thought , however , that before long these roads will be forced to make arrangements with the southern roads. The grain shipments east of Chicago last week again showed a noticeable decrease from the shipments of the week before , and the Chicago papers ore dally calling upon the eastern lines to como down In their tariffs If they want to save the grain business for the eastern ports. At the aamo time the southern movement of grain Increased. Total slui n.i'nts of flour , grain and pro visions from Chicago through to Atlantic seaboard points and Tor export by the ten eastbound rocds last week amounted to 00,490 tons , against fiS.lOO tons for the week pre vious and (19.C59 ( tons for the corresponding week lust year. Flour shipments last week were 7.114 tons , against 11,112 tons last year ; grain , 34,269 tend , against C0.220 tons ; provisions , 9,113 tens , against 8,227 tons. It has been extensively reported during the past few weeks that the ralroad yards at GalvcGton were full of heated grain not worth the freight charges. One report last week had It that there were 2,000 cars of hratcd and spoiled corni on the tracks. Third Vlco President Paul Morton of the Snntn I'o has taken the matter up. and after Investigating It has declared there Is no truth in the reports. He announces that his representative and Grain Inspector Web ster found that there was not ono bushel of heated grain OIL track or In elevators In Galvcaton , and but one ear had been re ceived since December 1. That car had been sold on the track. Since January 1 the In spection shows No. 2 and 3 running over ns per cent , and but 2 per cent of No. 4 being condemned on Inspection. J. U. Thatcher , a wholesale grain dealer of Omaha , has received the following letter , which appears to t-upport the statement that grain Is not being heated and spoiled In the Galveston railroad yards : "Edward Webster , the chief Inspector , Is sued the following statement' , 'taken from his records on January a. During the month of November , > 1S9G , there was Inspected In : S3S cars of No. 2 corn , 01 per cent ; BOG cars of No. 3 corn , 55 per cent ; 17 cars of No. 4 corn , 1.C3 per cent ; G rars , no grade , .7-10 per cent. Total number of cars , 1,367. Three of these "no grade" cars had been In a wreck and abandoned by the owners and turned over to the railroad company. In December there was Inspected In : 133 cars of No. 2 corn , CO per cent ; 3S4 cars of No. 3 corn , 45 per cent ; 33 cars of No. 4 corn , 3 per cent ; 1 car , no grade , .01 per cent.

Nothing but routine association business was transacted. Tr > u proposition to abolish the tip-town ticket olllces In Council Hluffs and the Union avenue ticket olllces In Kansas City was railroaded to the program for the- next meeting. It Is generally conceded that the movement , at least so tar as Council II luffs Is concerned , will bo defeated. It was expected that reduced excursion rates for the annual meetings of a number of national societies would ho made , but this matter was also postponed until the next meeting. Concerning the rates for the big meeting of the Christian Endcavorers In San Fran- j.'sco next summer there Is already trouble among the western passenger men. No definite arrangements have been made as to rates , but It Is charged that eomo of the transcontinental roads have already con tracted for lurg ° parlies on the basis of a round trip rate of $50 between Chicago and San Francisco. There Is some talk among the roads of the ap/joclatlon of taking action ( hat will compel the society to hold Us meetIng - Ing elsewhere and thus punish the roads that havu made the contracts , The matter will bo probed very carefully before any action la taken , but there Is already much strong feeling over It.
