PORT ARTHUR WILL FIf.HT Intends to Pursue Its Course as an Inde pendent Lino. EUBM S'slON UNDER BOYCOTT IMPOSSIBLE . \Kcnt Sarm-iit lln- CIINXCH tilt * MtllllllOII Illllt I3X- IllniMi'ir CoiiIItient of Ultimate ; Victory. ' John A. Sargent , general freight agent of ( bo Kansas City , Plttsburg & Quit rail road , Is In the city after a abort trip over ( ho northern lines of the Port Arthur Route. IIo U > plainly not worried over the prospec tive boycott of the 'Milwaukee ' , the Hock Island , the Burlington and the Alton rail roads on and after March 1. Ho Is also confident that before the present controversy Is finally settled Omaha will bo enjoying the same freight rut en from the south as does Kansas City. To a Dee reporter Mr. Sargent said : "I Bin confident ttat we shall finally break this boycott In the courts , but It appears to bo against us Just at present. I have received ( i letiur from Chairman Midgley of the West ern Jolm Trallle bureau notlfjlng us that on Muru 1 the Milwaukee , the Hock Island , the Alton and the Burlington's lines In Mia- eourl will refuse divisions with us on northbound - bound shipments of lumber. As this Is our rnost extwtftvo trafllo northward at this time ( ho order amounts to a practical boycott. For ( lie Milwaukee the notice wan signed b/ 3. H , inland , general freight iigcnt ; foe the Hock Island by Henry Goner , general freight pgent , and for the Burlington's lines In Mis- eourl by I ) , 0 , Ives , general freight agent. If this doesn't amount to a bojcott then I don't know what does. Tl.ero Is ono thing lure , If these four llnisj rctuso divisions with va on our lumber from the south then they wnuotcgaDy ( ftllow th dlyUlona ( o other connecting lines. That would constitute a rank case of discrimination , just as open and ess bad as the case of a road giving rates to ono shipper and refusing them to another. OFFER TO ABANDON BOYCOTT. "Tho whole object of the other roads Is to force the Pittsburg & Gulf railroad Into the traffic associations , and this it will never consent to do. I was In St. Louis on Monday , and went over the whole matter with the highest freight officials of three strong south western lines. Tbey assured me that the boycott would bo dropped at once and the I'lttsburg & Gulf road would no longer be troubled or annoyed If It would only join the freight trafllc association , with the other southwestern lines. But I told them that If that was what they were really after there was no use of further discussion , as the roa'd would not Join any such association. I rather think that that Incident displayed the reason of the other lines for attempting to boycott us. "I see Paul Morton , vice president of the Ssnta Fe , makes the statement that there Is no organized boycott against the Port Arthur Route , but that competing Jlnc.1 have merely taken such Individual action In the matter as they chcne. That Is really goad. Wo have positive proof that the Santa Fo seconded the motion In the recent New York meeting of railroad officials to pro nounce a boycott agalrst the Port Arthur Route. It la not by Individual act'on , but by concerted action of the very clcrvst order that HIP other roads are fighting us , "There ran bo no doubt In the world but that wu shall ultimately have this boycott and any other that Is attemptcJ declared illegal. That was the result of the attempted boycott by the Lake Shore road agalrut the Clover Leaf. I know that some railroad men argue that that capo will not form a prece dent for us , because the Clover Leaf was then In the bands of the court. But It surely makes no difference whether or not a road Is In the hands of recelvcia In a mut ter of thU kind. A boycott Is a boycott , against ono line as well as against another , and I believe the courts will so rule. We have eminent opinions on thin matter and arc fully prepared to stand for our rlghtn. SAME IN TUB SOUTH , "With regard to southbound shipments , It fcj much the tame as with the northbound shipments , if the southern roids refuse to receive the bualnew wo should turn over to thorn and allow u the proper division , why , then , they cannot legally Interchange buu- Iness with the International & Great North ern or any other southern line. They must treat us the eamo as they do other roads , else It amounts to a case of discrimination "Regarding the controversy over our plac ing Omaha on the same basis no Karsas City on shipments of sugar , rice and coffee from New Orleans I will say that when the present difficulties are finally straightened out Omaha will undoubtedly gei the fame rates as Kansas City. At present the Port Arthur Route is not in a very good position to force the removal of this differential , but I liavo no doubt but that the final solution of the whole controversy will include an agreement to place Omaha on the same basis as Kansas City regarding such ship ments from the south. "At present our road Is doing aci Immerse business , despite the bojeotts that have been declared against us. The big shipment of meat at reduced rates out of Chicago for export frou Port Arthur la merely an Illua- tratki : , of that. The shipment wen taken for less than the eastern roads could haul It , but this will not ulnaja be ro , There will be times wbui we can export ntuff from Port Arthur more cheaply than the ecatern roads ccn from the Atlantic seaboard , and then again there will be times when ( he eastern lines can do the bualnera more cheaply. At prcsit ( It is about the fag end of the cotton season , and the ships arc there at Port Arthur demanding something to carry away. That U the reason why such cheap rates for export buslneea are now offered there. " , I3KKKCT OF hlCXATH HHSOLUTIOX. Itiillrunil 'Men ' Incline In I > | NCIIXN tin Mutfi-r V > < ; iii rtTl > . The passage In the United States senate of a resolution asking that the court do not confirm the foreclosure sale of the Kansas Pacific railroad brought out much d'scurslon ' In local railway circles .during the dity. Asked If he thought the pat > sage of the reso lution would have any effect on the sale or Its confirmation , Horace G , Hurt , president of the Union Pacific , said he thought that It would not , and expressed the opinion that the foreclosure pro eedlngs would pr ceo.l un interrupted. Other olUclils were. Inclined to feel oome- what dubious about the chances for having the scale confirmed lu vlow of the pauiage of the senate resolution. All agree that It Is too delicate a matter tn discuss at any length until the court haslflnally passed on the sole one way or the other. One repre sentative of the company said : "Thlu action of the senate apparently places the govern ment In a double position ; The D partmcnt of Justice l\ia appeared before the court fa- \orable to the Bale and new the legislative department expresses I\H \ - opposition to It , The court certainly can knw only the prr - idcnt and the Department of Justice. It has no official knowledge of Jthi senate. In this case It does not seem to pfef that the pa&-afjo of any resolution by tbefBojiate can possibly affect the confirmation of too pile. " Cnnniliiiii I'lirlllv Mnbrn Trouble. CHICAGO , Feb. 18 $ The Grand' Trunk railroad today asked tjie Chlcago-St. Paul lines to allow It to meet the Canadian Pa cific reduction In rates in Pacific coast points In connection with the rapidly increahlng Klondike business. A special meeting of Interested Hnce will probably be held tomor row. If the Canadian Pacific rates be not met , the result will bo the loss of nearly all the New 'England traffic by the American lines. Should the cut be1 met It la considered probaWo that the Canadlaii Pacific will fol low with another reduction. Bes'drs Its sen- tatlonal cut In passenger rates to Pacific coast pclnts , the Canadian/ Pacific hat ) cut rates from New England 'points ' to St. Paul by J5.W. Its new rates to the coast are blanket rates , covering alljNcw England and New York points. Uuurri'l Ox-r IluxIiuiiiI'H I'll } ' . Ben C.
