SENATOR MAxEY of Texas, ais7 reported
to have saidin recent interview that he
was opposed from beginning to end to any
movement to cut new states out Of Texas,
and that, although there had been agitation
on the subject, and the project might be
brought forward in the Legislature, he was
sure it would receive no support Of conse-
quence, as the people were universally op-
posed to it. Texas is large enough for half
a dozen states of the size of New York, and
that it will ultimately be divided, according
to the act of annexation, is not doubted,
but the time has not yet come to move in
the matter. 80 ;5-'.i! =" '.'7<

The pushing of railroads far in advance

more by natural increase, can afford to lay

is a time not far ahead when track laying
