Mr.. Joseph D. Lynch, late editor of the
San Diego World gives the following account
of an interview with Col Tom. Scott in re
lation to the Texas and Pacific Railway:
Correspondent t. Colonel, understand
that the panic has been very hard on you,
personally.
Col. Scott am the loser, personally, to
the extent of So, 600, 600 by the panic.
Cor.-It takes pretty strong man fnan-
cially, Colonel, to support loss like that.
Did you intend to negotiate loan for the
Texas and Pacific during your European
visit, or was your mission merely to arrange
for loan to the Pennsylvania Company to
double track their road2
3, Scott had arranged everything for
money to build the Texas and Pacific Rail-
way. If the panic had been delayed four
days I should have had all the money I
needed to complete that great work. My
young men managed things very badly dur
ing my absence.
Uor.-Is Congressional aid a sine qua non
to the building of the Texas and Pacific
Railway, Colonel2
ScoH-We can't build the road without
Congressional aid. I think we shall get it
next December. We thought It more pru-
dent to aEEait the upshot Of the pending
elections before pressing the matter.
Cor.r-I presume, Colonel, that the Allan
tic and Pacific and Texas Pacific Railways
are now substantially the same thing7
ScOtt--They are. We shall relinduish
the Atlantic and Pacific land grant from
the point Of junction.
Cor Where is that point likely to be,
Colonell Santa Fe or Albuquerque is gen
orally thought TO be the most likely.
Scott-The junction viii be made at a
point cast Of Double Mountain, in the State
Of Texas.
Cor.--What viii be the route from that
point, COlonel9 It has generally been sup
SpOsed that q compromise line, running
through Central Arizona, VIII be adopted
Scott-Ihat is mistake. From Double
Mountain the road viii run along the thirty
second PARALLEL to San Diego.
Cor The general impression in Califor-
MA is, Colonel that your plans have been
modified, and that San Francisco and not
San Diego viii be the real terminus Of the
road.
Scott-That is nonsense. San Diego win
continue 70 be the real terminus Of the road

If half the charges made by the Eye Opener
are ture, we are living in a den Of thieves.
The publication in question can accomplish
no good purpose. The parties against whom
it is arrayed VIII gain more friends by the
issue than foes. The only way to success

making specific and well-authenticated
