We yesterday enjoyed the houor
Of call from Hon. Joseph Medill,
the editor Of the Chicago Tribune,
perhaps the leading newspaper oi
the United States, outside Of New
York. Mr.. Medill informs US that

center OF the internal trade of the
continent, matters are at least from
fifteen to twenty per cent. better
than this time last year. He
thinks that, unless the people Of
the United States again get to
squabbling amongst themselves,
the tendency Is onward and up
ward. But, by long odds, the most
encouraging portions Of Mr.. Me-
difps conversation related to a re-
gion which, II not tributary to Los
Angeles, Is at least prominent
factor in our future.
First as to railway matters. Mr..
Medlll informs US that, within the
next eighteen months, the AtchI-
son, Topeka and Santa FS Railway
will connect with the Southern
Pacific somewhere between Mari
copaville and Tucson. There the
Eastern trunk railway will halt,

Eh passant, Mr.. NJ. tells US that
the Southern Pacific Railway of
California and Arizona have offered
Scott q handsome price for his Pa.

to be seen whether, unable to build
himself, he will play the "dog.in.
the.manger."
Having reached a junction with
the California road, the Atchison,

for the present, suspend their trunk

Mr.. Medill Is OF opinion that iu
