NEWS OF THE RAILROADS Prediction that Ontiide Linet Will Soon Join Passenger Association , PROSPECTS OF THIS BRIGHTER THAN EVER OfltceM of MlMNnnrl 1'ncino Ilecclre No tice of Cnnrcllnilnn of Ilntcn with Oulf Mm Mnrc K - ctiniloim Annoiinccili It Is now believed that the Chicago , Great Western , Minneapolis & St. Ix > uls and Wla- connln Central roads will Join the Western Passenger association within a short time. The entrance of these three roads Into the association now In session In ChlcaRO , will practically unite together all roads operating In the west on a. common basis of rates and the hope ha often been expressed In pas- Bcncer circles that thcso roads would Join the association and thus put a stop to the unstable condition of rates In territory touched by thcso lines an well as lines be longing to the association , which were unable - able by reason of this fact to meet the re ductions. The delay In Joining has been long and many excuses have been offered , but It Is now thought that the strong pressure which lias been brought to bear on the Great Western , Minneapolis & St. 1/ouls and Wis consin Central has neutralized all objection and that they will enter the fold as Bonn as the necessary preliminary arrangements can be completed. ornciAh ISOTIOH or"IIOYCOTT. . ] HlKnnrl Pnrlflp Atitiiinncpn Cniieelln- tliin of Iliitcn it Itli CJiilf Mnv. The flrat notice received by the local oincos of the Mireourl Pacific concerning the boycott on the Gulf road was received through the Southwestern Freight Commlfl- nlon t St. Louis by Its secretary , George W. Calc. This notice Is to the effect that the Missouri Pacific haa signified Us Inten tion to cancel nil through ratrfl In connec tion with the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf line , becoming effective on the 31st Inst. In vlow of the fact that the Missouri Pacific announced that It would not cancel existing rates until the date above men tioned there wan liomo speculation as to why It refused to deliver to the Gulf line at Kansas City u few days ngo , four cars of freight consigned to points along the Gulf line. The explanation given Is that Missouri Pacific cars contained this freight and the company did not dcslro Its cars to got on the Gulf line for fear of ex periencing eonio dllllculty In getting them bade after trafllc relations had been severed. For this reason the Missouri Pacific de clined to deliver Its cars to the Gulf line end compelled It to transfer the freight Into its own cars. IIOYCOTT Oli1 1MTT.SIIUIU3 t GUI , ! " .

The freight boycott on the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf railroad by ton of the strongest of the western lines will go Into effect next Tues- Uiiy. Then It seems likely will como either n desperate war In freight rates or a bitter conflict In the United States courts. The receivers of the Plttsburg & Gulf ( ire confident of victory , but decline to state now what moves they Intend to make. S. W. Pordyco , ono of the receivers , today ro- > 'turned from St. Louis. "Wo can't glvo away our case , " Bald he , " .boforo . wo go Into court. Forewarned Is forearmed for the lines that arc fighting us. IWo did not go Into this light hastily. Wo mode sure of our ground nt first. I can only Bay that wo will establish a principle which will bo satisfactory to Kansas City. " There are no now developments In the 'boycott ' case. The Missouri Pacific still holds thrco cars of grain billed to the Pltts- iburg & Gulf and refuses to deliver them tinlosa the Plttshurg & Gulf provides cars da which to reload the grain and pays the cost of transferring.

The hearing of Anton Albert Inda before Judge Gordon waa continued yesterday morning without an Incident out at the ordinary to vary the monotony of testimony that has been re peated several times. No witnesses other than the policemen nnd station officials were examined and their statements related to the Incidents following Smith's arrival at the station. Deputy County Attorney Lee Hclsley pro pounded qucotlons for the state In place of Judge Shields , who merely listened nnd offered occasional suggestions. No new light was thrown on the case. The offlcers re peated the testimony they gave at the In quest , Important only as showing the police did not know Smith had been seriously In jured and the wound , prior to probing , did not appear to bo any thine moro than n scratch. Mrs. Ryan , matron at the clly Jail , testi fied that the wound on Smith's nose must have been Inflicted several hours before he was brought to the station for the reason that the blood appeared to have dried. Henry Wlsenberg , sergeant of police , said In substance the same as the preceding wlt- nws. Ho described the appearance of the wound , stating his belief that It was In flicted several hours before arrest. The other witnesses examined were Om- cors Johnson nnd Sergeant Bcbout , who acted ns jailor the morning of Smith's death , their statements bolng a repetition of evidence given previously. Tom Lowls , Smith's companion on the morning of the tragedy , was the principal witness of the afternoon session. Ho stated that Inda held him 1 > y the left arm , with the right hand , wlien ho struck Smith with hla left hand. 'Ho did not BOO a weapon used. L/owls Bald 'ho heart ! no talk during the evening of any trouble or fight In which Smith had figured. The only periods of ILmo Lewis did not accompany Smith wore -when Smith went Ho Perry Phillips to got n pistol , nnd when ho and Smith parted at the Midway ealoon nnd did not iinect un til an hour later at Shannon's. During these Intervals , Lowla eald , ho could not tell what happened to Smith. Lowls 'then ' described the trouble which caused the ill will between himself nnd Asa Graham. It resulted , ho said , from a game of craps. The quarrel was first between Smith and Graham , nnd afterwards Graham's lro TVUS directed at himself. Lawls said he- feared Graham would shooter or cut him , and so expressed himself. Smith then volunteered to protect him from Graham If ho should attempt to use a gun or knife. When Lewis still refused to leave the saloon for fear of Graham , Smith offered to procure a gun nnd went to get ono. WWlo ho was cone , LewJs did not know anythlnR nbout Ills movements. Robert Hutchlnson , the lunch man , said Smith appeared the night preceding his death no different than usual. His voice was as clear and his spirits were as bouyant as ovor. Assistant Coroner Baker told of finding the wound on the nose nnd probing It. Ho said the ooronor , N. P. Swanson , discovered the aperture on Smith's nose before ho did and probed It with a hairpin to the depth of an Inch. Ho then took the hairpin nnd bonding It straight Inserted It in the wound about four inches. Afterwards a physician's probe was used. Baker said itho wound ap peared to him to bo made by a bullet. Ho had soon many bullet wounds , ho stated , nnd this appeared to be llko all the others. Perry Phillips was placed on the stand to toll the circumstances ot Smith's arrest. His testimony disclosed nothing now. Phillips was the last witness examined dur ing the afternoon. The court adjourned un til 9 o'clock this morning.
