with the Atchison, Topeka q Santa Fe at
Ell Paso, on the border, and the two sys-
TENS will be practically under one control.
The Mexican Central will be run from
near the middle Of the northern boundary
of Mexico down through its territory
to the Capitol, with branches to the Gulf
Coast at Tampico, and the Pacific at San
Bios. The whole line is a little short Of
1900 miles, through a country capable of
being very productive, and it will have
connections with our railway system on
both sides of the Rocky Mountains. Tribu-
tary to the same combination is the Sonora
Railroad, also under construction, which
is to traverse the State of Sonora from
Arizona to Guaymas on the Gulf of Cali
fornia. Then there are projected lines
under the Sullivan Il Palmer charters,
from the Capitol northeast to the borders
of Texas, at Loredo, with a contemplated
connection through Texas by international

consolidation of the telegraph companies,

preclude its consolidation or absorption
by any rival interest. The voting power

which a majority shall be selected from

perfect a system Of telegraphy as
that now represented by $50, 1000. 900.
