ANOTHER RAILWAY ROUTE TO

for government survey TO extend from
Austin, Texas. to the harbor of Iopoio-
vsmpo on the Gulf Of California. with a
view to determine the advantages OF this
routs for an er-ocesnic railroad. Last
year the Engineer Department reported
| favorably on the proposition to appro-
pirate S.. 600 for this purpose, aud Mr.
! owen TO-DAY informed the committee
/ that after adjournment of Congress Pres
! idsnt Grant directed the Secretary Of
State to communicate with the Mexican
Government to ascertain whether it
would object to tue proposed survey be-
ing extended over its territory. and that
i'll reply the Mexican authorities have
given assurances that they will not only
permit bur assist such . survey.
This would be = good road to have.
But i: would not be especially beneficial
to the Pacific States of the Union. 1t
would help AGstin and whatever seaport
town lies where It's Mexican terminus
would come. There should be no inter
