Charles Francis Adams on the Ala

NEW YORK, Feb. 22-- Charles Francis Adams
left for Washington last evening on a summons
from the State Department. His return to this
country was occasioned by the ill health OF his
wife. Upon the Alabama question he is very
retcent, but thinks il reasona BILE that our claims
should be submitted TO the Geneva Arbitration.

evidence. England, he believes, il disinclined
Tor war. The Alabama excitement is due to
newspaper agitation. There is nothing which
warrants him believing that the Washington
treaty will be a failure. lie does not think
Gladstone meant all he said in his hasty speech
and he subsequently, took back much OF what he
said at first on this question.

future. Whilst fully recognizing the
desirabiiity Of united action on the
part Of eli English shareholders for
this purpose, my company think 1t
right to point out that the new COM
pany formed by these gentlemen Is
entirely seli-constituted, and that
1t Is impossible to say at presenS how
far they will be acceptable to Ameri-
can shareholders. An influential
American company, representing very
large American interests, has for q
considerable time been organized and
working in complete harmony with

graphed to their agent in New York

municated to the shareholders at thu
earliest possible moment.

and on its final passage it was killed
beyond all hope Of resurrection in any
shape. Three Republican senators
lodged the question, leaving their
darkey friends with the bag to hold.
The negro members denounced the
conduct Of these fellows as infamous.

speech In favor OF the bill said, II any

while upon any railroad he would
spill the blood Of the official.

RAILROADS.
The Memphis and Nor hWsstern sRd
Memphis and St. Louis Railroads.

The Memphis and Nor hwesfern aad
Memphis and 81. Louis Railroads.
The Memphis and Northwestern Rail-
road Company, who are receiving a most
liberal support in Z Ansss, are at present
engaged in placing SONS seventy five
miles of their road, extending from the
State line of Missouri westward, in readi-
ness for construction. This much of the
line will be built during the coming sum-
mer In any case. It is also the intention
of the company to plsc5 the seventy
eight miles of line, which extends across
the southwest corner of Missouri to the
north line Of the State of Arkansas,
under contract early In the summer If
possible. The most expensive portion Of
the line to construct. lies in Arkansas
and this fact applies to all other
roads In that section. This and other
matters of location and of q financial ma
ture have tended to cause delay in the
operations of the Memphis and North
western company in Arkansas. Nearly
all the COMMITTEES of that State, along the
line of the road, have voluntarily ex-
tended assurances of hearty support but
It has not been the desire of the company
to accept them until time could be set
for the commencement Of construction in
the localities mentioned. As the local
support In Arkansas will at best form but
q small proportion of the total cost of the
road in that State, the company wisely
propose to avoid the expenses and sscri-
hces which usually attend the premature
commencement OF operations In ooun-
try like that of Western Arkansas, and
prefer to wait the termination of certain
financial movements in Europe which
promise most favorable results in behalf
Of both of the important enterprises
named in this article. The Inducements
which the combination or consolidated
companies are able to offer, are regarded
across the water as superior to those of
most American roads, and the prospects
are bright for the commencement of work
on both lines before many weeks, and up
on an extensive scale. No other line
prof sctsd in the interest Of Memphis Is
able to make better showing in variety
and importance of local products, agricul-
tural and mineral, than that of the Mem
phiB and Northwestern. No projected
road in the West gives promise of an
earlier reward upon a judicious invest
ment Of capital than this. Passing in the
rear OF st. Louis and Of Kansas City,
Missouri, to and through the garden of
the State of Kansas, it will bear to Mem
phis a supply OF products peculiarly
adapted to her trade, OF inestimable value.
There can be no line projected that will
possess the same facilities for thorough
and effective competition with the st.
Louis railroad system as that of the Mem
phis and Northwestern. The frlends of
the above named projects, united by
common interest, confidently expect TO
commence their work with Vigor. They
regard the chief difficulties in the way Of
aspeedy commencement as now overcome,
and when once undertaken, 1t Is the in
tention to push these great works through
to final success without q pause
