Railway Notes.

The railroad builders in Texas have staked
out 700 miles of track to lay down during
1880. Ofthis, 200 are put down to the Pa
cltic extension, and the balance distrib-
uted between the Central, the Sun
set, International Gulf and Santa Fe, and
Che Narrow Guage. These are large figures
and II one-half are realized Texas ought 10
eel thankful.
San Antinio and the Sunset people are
thanking heavily upon Congress building their
Laredo road. 1t would be safer for them to
put their chips upon the Dallas, Ceburne ~
Rio Grande getting to that river first. 1t is
certain to get there before Congress appro-
PIRATES any money to that or any other
Southern road.

Jay Gould has not commenced tearing
up the track and moving the iron to
Fort Worth yet, and as he needs

will be sometime hereafter before we will

The Financial situation.

IL there was any improvement In the money
market II did not crop out There was little
demand for loans, though some sales of OK
change were made, the old rate! prevailing.
The talk Of building u cotton factory has
again revived, with spot in the northern d-
vision of tho city included as the location.
II Is thought il the ground
can be secured the balance
will come easy. 1t would be at least foun-
daticn to build upon, both In making up the
company and putting up the houses and fill
ing them with machinery. The public pulse
aeesns TO beat very mvorably for this enter
prise, and perhaps only requires proper
lcaders.

LONDON, July 3l.-A dispatch from
st. Petersburg says the latest news
from Tashkend does not indicate that
any very urgent preparations are be-
ing made by China on the Kashgar
side. Ten thousand regulars are re-
ported to occupy Kulja. Many Euro
peans, including Englishmen, are
in the province of Djitishar.
A dispatch from Cabul says the
news Of the disaster has had no effect
yet on the affairs of Oabul. Matters
are progressing as before. The news
is very imperfect, if at all known to
the Afghans, The Times this morn
ing says the first batch of reinforce
ments will sail from England Tuesday
and before the end ofSeptember next
1900 men will have been landed at
Bombay. A Scuttari dispatch says
iour battalions of Montenegrins at.
tackled the Albanians Wednesday, and
were repulsed. A Bombay dispatch
says tits now calculated that General
Phayre's force will reach Candahar on
the 25th of August. The latest state
mentS make Burrows force 26OO.
The Sportsman this morning says.
We have received the second depos-
it Of so pounds for the Hanlon match,
on behalf of Tricket."
A Bombay dispatch to the Stand
ard says now Ethat the effect of the
first shock of the Candahar disaster is
over, the situation is regarded as
much more favorable. It is now ad-
mitted that the garrison at Candahar
ought to be able to hold its ground
with ease. A private letter from Cau-
dahar, dated the 18th inst, describes
the effect of the news of Ayoob Khan's
advance across the Helmund as al
ready very considerable. Merchants
and well-to-do people we're burying
their property and preparing to leave
the city.
CAPETowN, July 3l.-Parliament
has been prorogued. Governor Sir
Bartle FIere. in his speech, attribu-
ted the failure of the confederation
