MEXICo's RAILWAY SYSTEM

Gen. Grant to Start for that Country
shortly in the Interests of the Pr ject
New York, January ll.-During the
closing days OF last year over Sl2, ,000. 900
were subscribed in this city for the con-
struction ofabout ], 100 miles OF railroad
in the republic OF Mexico. Only
IS, ,2j0000 were required by the terms OF
the plan decided upon, hence an allOt-
ment Of the subscriptions was made.
The corporation that has begun tn"
work is styled the Mexican National
Railway Company, and it is operating
under what is known "a the Palmer
and Sullivan grant, which was obtained
from the Mexican Government 10y Gen
William j. Palmer, President Of the
Dcnvan and Rio Grande Railway, and
his partner in the railroad contracting
business. The contract making the grant
was executed September l3, 1880, and it
provided that the plans OF a specified
portion OF the lines shall be finished
within fifteen days thereafter, and the
SURVEYS Of the remainder begun within
three months. The two capitalists who
obtained the privileges from the
Mexican government are expe.
risnced in Western rairoading
and possessed Of Western enter
prise, and these conditions were
promptly complied with. The work Of
penetrating the wi!as OF Mexico with
locomotives was begun at at once. Then
the financial branch of the under.
taking was brought forward in this
city with the result mentioned, and
the additional result that Jay
Gould was interested in the scheme,
then Gen. Grant, and finally every one
who had railroad grant or scheme
for a road in the southern republic.
Representatives Of these various in.
tcrests, in pursuance OF a policy advo-
Gated by Jay GOuli, are at work with
the view of consolidating those interests
in the construction Of one
road. 1t is generally conceded that
the route and grant Of the Palmer and
sullivan interest, is the most
desirable. Gen. Grant will probably
start for Mexico within the next thirty
davs fpr the purpose Oi obtaining more
accurate information and forming an
opinion az 10 the several CoacesSj, ms
for the benefit Of the Consolidation ,oM-
mittee, OF which he is n member

WASHINGTON, January IL Yesterday

ters from some Of the leading Mormons
warning him that Allen Campbell
would be given certificate OF election
by Governor Murray. These men be-
lieve that President HAYES had some
thing to do with il, but Delegate Cannon
does not think so. He attributes it to
the ignorance and prejudice OF Gov.
Murray, in which view he is doubtless
correct. He has written the Governor
a letter, in which he says: "ln reply 10
