fulness. He had received it in exchange
forten 81 900 government bonds, portion
of the proceeds of aformer robbery. The
person from whom he got the money was
known 10 me to be crooked broker
who dealt in securities of the class NAM
ed. The explanation of our bank burst
er was satisfactory at the time and turned
out to be true afterward. The amount
that came into / is possession of the sto-
len ten dollar bills was just $500.
This, with the exception of the deposit
discovered at the Stuyvesant bank, he
produced from his overcoat pocket on
the spot. didn't like the idea of taking
the money that night, fearing the posi-
bility of game behind it, so said, my
dear fellow, don't want to bother with
this stuff tonight. l know it is safer in
your hands than mine. Meet me to-mor-
row morning at eleven O'Clock on the
corner of Broadway and Sth street and
hand me the money. Everything will
be on a dead level" He then said, 81
don't know as blame you for not hav-
ing perfect confidence in me, but Will
trust you and meet you at the spot desig-
mated in broad day light, and hand you
the money as you see it here"
AT the appointed time and place 1 re-
celved the package as agreed upon, and
forwarded it by express to Gen. Spinner
at Washington. This was the first, last
and only portion of the $4,000 robbery
that has been recovered.

COMMERCE WITH MEXICO

Hon. VIM. 4. Phillips, of the first dis
trict, delivered speech in the house of
representatives, ;lie other day, on the sub
icct pending OH "a bill for building an
international railroad between the United
States and Mexico. The speech was an
able one and has attracted widespread
attention. We clip from the New York
Tribune the following interesting com
ment upon it and the important subject
of which il treated:
No one interested in the future com
mercial greatness of the republic can
read without interest the speech of Hon.
VIM. A. Phillips, of Kansas, in the house
OF representatives, on the subject of an
international railroad between the United
States and Mexico. The road which has
been proposed would run from Austin,
the capital of Texas, to Topolovampo, a
newly discovered bay on the west coast
of Sinaloa, Mexico, about midway be-
tween MaZatlan and Guymas. The ca
pacIty, convenience and safety of the bay,
and suitability and excellence as n har-
Dor, have been demonstrated by three sep
crate surveys already made by our navy
department. If feasible railroad route
ate benefits will result to all cities in the
lower Mississippi, middle, southern and
eastern states, which will gain in going
to TopolOvampo about 800 miles over
their route to San Francisco, and about
400 miles over their route to San Diego
Every seaport according to the esti-
mate of Mr.. Phillips, on the Atlantic
from Maine to Texas, will have a shorter
line to the Pacific than can possibly be
had at any port north or south of Topo-
lovampo. The proposed railway, it is
suggested, will open new and practical
~ unknown country, nearly mOiety of
Mexico, equal in size to ten such states
as Pennsylvania. What the resources of
this tract are can never be known with
out trustworthy survey. Mexico can
not make it; the Mexicans are not a rail-
road building people; and il must be
considered that it is the United States
which is to receive the earliest and the
greatest benefits from the opening of
this short route to the Pacific. at be-
gins" says Mr.. Phillips, ''in our coun-
try; it ends at the gate of Oriental CON-
merce;" yet heretofore these opportunI
ties haye been comparatively neglected.
