[San Francisco Bulletin, Dec. 13th.l
The recent purchase and consoli-
dati0n of railways diverging from
Chicago, st. Louis and other West
ern cities, has not induced the own
ers of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road to depart from the plans of ex-
tension adopted one year ago.
Charles Crocker, President, and
Charles +. Crocker, Vice-President, +,
of the Southern Pacific, state that
they regard the information cor
rect that the Atchlson, Topeka and
Santa Fe Company has purchased
an interest in the st. Louis and
San Francisco Railroad (the old
Atlantic and Pacific) but they do
not believe that it has any imme-
diate intention of building road
from the Rio Grande to San Diego
or San Francisco. After readin 6
the interview recently published in
the Chicago Tribune, and which is
repu blished below, the
Messrs. Crocker said the state
ments contained In the interview
were somewhat visionary. In the
first place, they deny the assertion
that they failed to agree with the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Company. In brief, no negotia-
tions have been solicited by either
com mpany. A suggestion was made
some time ago by the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe managers
that the Southern Pacific build to
Las Vegas or thereabouts, but the
officers of the latter road an
nounced their intention to follow
the southern route TO El Paso. 1t
Is evident that q connection will be
made between the two roads near
that polni, as the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe is building in
that direction.
PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO Ell PAso.
About one year ago Messrs.
Stanford, Crocker and Huntington,
after reviewing the situation care
fully, decided to go ahead with the
Southern Pacific and extend the
line to El Paso, and if no roads
met them there, to build further, il
necessary, to the Gulf of Mexico or
New Orleans. Messrs. Stanford
and Huntington are in New York,
and no doubt familiar with recent
transactions in railway circles. In
their communications with the of.
ficers of the company in San Fran
cisco they do not foreshadow any
intention OF abandoning the plan
Of extension above outlined.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC CONNECTIONS
AT Ell PAS0.
The Southern Pacific will seek
an early connection with the Texas
system of railways reaching Gal
weston, New Orleans and Other
Southern points. The Texas Paci-
fic (Tom Scotts roadD and the Gal
weston and San Antonio road would
be greatly benefited by the compile
ton of the Southern transcontinen-
, tai route, and will naturally push
forward with all energy to consum'

resented by Mr.. Herdman, for $ooO
| There was an insurance of $l,oO,
with Drakenfeld in the New Zeal
and $500 in one of Leake u Gas
wells companies on the furniture
The loss ou the furniture was mol
heavy.
A certain saloon keeper OF this
town rents an office on the second
floor of his building to q, gentleman
who Is connected with the law.
This party has been very backward
at the end of each month in paying
his rent, and the Knight of the
Cocktail has been waxing wroth to
an unusual degree. However, now
his countenance is again as smiling
as q Summer morning when the
sun is aglow and the little birds
sing, for he has hit upon an exceed
ingly practical way OF keeping his
back accounts and causing his
debtor much misery. He now
thinks that he will bring his legal
gentleman to time before long.
Every month, when the l.. g. did
not settle his bill, his landlord took
away one of the steps OF the stairs;
and, now that the total amount due
is four and o half months, the stairs
are minus four aud half steps.
The l.. G.. being much astonished
by the gradual dropping away OF
the stairs, demanded an explana.
tion and was told by the Publican
that he kept his accounts by taking
away a step for every months' rent
overdue. "But what in thunder
am L going to do when owe six
months rent ?" inquired the l.. g.,
In rage. "WelI, l guess you had
better pungle up or bring step
ladder" was the reply.
The concert which formed the
third of the delightful entertain
ments in AID of the Episcopal
Church fund was a notable success
at Turn-Verein Hall last night.
The overture was very skillfully
rendered. The duett between
Madame Maria and Miss Mamie
Perry was delicIously sung. Mrs.
Eastman's solo, 80 Milo Fernando"
was signal success, evoking
rapturous encore, to which she re-
responded with "'Tis but Little
Faded Flower.n Mrs. Tomkinson
recited Whittier's "Pipes of Luck
now" in a manner which showed
the lady to possess great dramatic
fervor. Her effort was received
with such pronounced enthusiasm
that she favored the audience with
an equally charming recital of
"Bsautiful Snow" Mrs. Caswell
was down on the programme
for "Heaven Hath Shed o
Tear" but she was prevented from
appearing by an unexpected attack
of illness. Miss Mamie Perry
kindly volunteered to sing the
"Msid of Dundee" which she did
with consummate grace and
sweetness which evoked what
might be called an ovation in the
shape of an encore. Miss Hill's
performance on the plane,
Madame Marra's laughing song
and the duett of the
Messrs. Arevalo and Won PIoennies
were notably pleasant features OF
the evening. A most enjoyable
series of entertainments wound up
with social dance.

mate the enterprise. IF the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe builds to
Ell Pasc, as now seems probable, it
will be 80 much the better for the
Southern Pacific, because connec-
tions will be afforded with the sys-
tenn OF railways centering with
Chicago and New York. The con-
nection with the Texas system will
give easy and direct communica-
ton with Galveston, New Orleans,
Mobile and cities OF the Atlantic
Gulf seaboard in tho Southern
States.
PARALLEL LINES.
Mr.. Crocker says that If the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe pee
pie should decide to build to San
Francisco from Albuquerque they
would probably cross the Colorado
river above Yuma The old sur
veys of the Atlantic and Pacific
road indicate that the route through
Soledad canon had been selected.
For distance of three or four hum
dred miles the road would then
run almost alongside of the present
line Of the Southern Pacific.
w. b. Strong, Vice-President of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe road, is reported to have said to
the Chicago Tribune that his road
would be extended due west from
Albuquerque on the Thirty fifth
Parallel line to Los Angeles, and
thence north to San Francisco.
The old surveyed route of the At
lantic and Pacific, the charter of
which has been purchased by the
A. L. & s. f. r. II. Co., does not
touch Los Angeles. Charles Crock
er, President of the Southern Paci-
fic Railroad, accepts the statement
with SOM .degreo of 4 allowance.
lie thinks it would be a foolish in
vestment Of capital to build o new
railroad alongside of a line in oper-
alton, through a country where the
way and through traffic can easily
be handled by one road.
THE ST. LOUIS AND SAN FRANCISCO
RAILROAD LAND GRANT.
Moreover, the land grant of the
st. Louis and San Francisco Com
pany (the old Atlantic and Pacific)
is not 100000 acres. Mr.. Crocker
does not believe that it exceeds
10, 900, 900 acres, and the most of it
is barren desert land, without value
in the market.
FREIGHT ON TEAS.
The statement that six cents a
pound is charged for carrying tea
over the Union Pacific is absurd.
Tea is carried from Yokohama to
New York 10y steamer to San
Francisco aud rail to New York;
for two cents a pound. Cargoes
have been taken, however, through
the Suez Canal as low as SIS per
ton.
OF THE CALIFORNIA
RAILROADS WITH JAY GOULD.
The owners of the Central and
Southern Pacific have no interest
whatever in Jay G0uld's railway
aud their relations
with the Gould roads would not
em barrass them in making through
rates with the Atchison, Topeka
"Ht Dtbht" SOhpnhy liucos
PUSHING THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC
RAILROAD AHEAD.
In a word, Messrs. Stanford,
Crocker and Huntington are free
from Eastern complications, and
strictly to the business of
building the Southern Pacific.
Heavy shipments of iron are arriy.
ing almost daily, and the signs of
in the accumulation of
material indicate that they will
get to Ell Paso first. The steel rails
with which the road is being laid
come overland. AS an illustration
of rapidity in work, the fact may be
cited that rails were laid down in
Arizona and cars moved over them
within thirty days after they were
turned out of the mill.

Acknowledging the Corn.

The English papers are discussing
the subject of Americanisms and re-
calling the Stewart WicL'iife ~colloqay
in 1923, as reported by Mr.. Sohele
de Verge, as the origin of the phrase,
81 acknowledge the corn" On this
subject there has been q good story
told of quite another character, to-
wit, that the neighbors of a certain
worthless scamp, who had missed
their chickens and suspected him OF
having conveyed them, seized and
tied him up ana applied a hickory
CAD to his back with such vigor that
he--being IN ignorance of the partic-
ular offense for which he was suffer
ing punishment-speedily yelled a
confession in the words, 81 acknowl-
edge the corn," thus admitting bis
connection with another and unsus-
pected nefarious transaction, whereas
it was the chick ems it was desired he
should acknowledge. Another version
Of this story makes him plead guilty
to one-half the indictment, acknowl-
edging the corn, but denying lis re-
sponsibility for the fowls.

A report having been put III circu

about to commence a damage suit
against the Washington Post, the

at has been published hat Sena-
tor Chandlcrintends to sue the Wash

he vas drunk when he made his
speech the other day. In an inter
view to-day the Senator says he new
err had any such intention, and the
report originated with the editor of
the Post, who was anxious that he
should sue, but he (Chandler) pre-
ferred not to give him any notoriety.
He said that he once know u boy who
was going home from Sunday School
and found himself in unpleasant as
ISOLATION with q skunk. The boy
threw his Bible at the skunk, but he
spoiled his Bible and didn't hurt the
skunk. Ch9ndler says the editor of

Another Democratic Gem.

Mr.. George d. Iillman, a Demo
cratic Congressman from South Car
olina, takes q very rosy view Of afairs
in the future, when bis party gets
control of affairs. lie says;
"At the worst, Hope and ] elirye
that our political oppression viii cease
shortly after the Inauguration Of the
next President. 1.-THE President be
a Democrat it is REASONABLY certain
that = majority of both Houses Of
Congress will also be Democrats, or
at least conservatives. If so, the Re
construction acts will soon be repeal
ed, which would leave suffrage where
it constitutioually belongs, under con-
troll Of the States. Then admitting
the coerced amendments of the Con-
stitution to be valid, the State could
attach a property qualification to suf-
frage without violating those amend
ments, which would practically de.
stroy negro suffrage as a disturbing
element in the body polite. Again,
after the Democrats get possession Of
the Executive aud Legislative Depart
ments, the present Judges of the Su.
preme Court, following public opin-
ion as law, in the future as in the
past, and no longer dreading either
impeachment or deprivation of sala
ry, may declare the Reconstruction
acts, as well as the two fraudulent
amendments, unconstitutional, null
and void, or, if they fail to do so, the
Court be recognized simply by an in
crease Of Judges, even as the radicals
did on Il memorable occasion, and, by
making a proper appointment Of new
Judges, the Constitution of the ia
theirs can be restored"
