THE TEXAS & ST. LOUIS MARROW
GAUGE RAILWAY AN INTER
STATE AND INTER NATIONAL SYs-
TEN.
Ex-Gov. Hubbard is the general
attorney of the Texas & St. Louis
Narrow Gauge Railway Company, as
well as one of its directors. lie is
now in this city, looking after the
interests of this enterprise. which
assumes importance in Texas. and
which promises to do rs much in
furthering its development as any of
the grand schemes affecting the
states career. The road. he repre-
sents, so he stated yesterday,
in conference with repre-
sentative of the STATESMAN, will be
completed t0Corsicana on or before
the 10Th day of April. and TO Waco
by the Goth of May, when it will
have line of 276 miles, beginning
at Texarkana, in operation within
the state. Preliminary surveys are
now being made between Texarkana
and Cairo, on the Ohio river, and il
is the expectation of this company
to extend this narrow guage railway
from Texarkana through Arkansas
TO Cairo, one and the same as con-
tinuOus line, where il will connect
with the st. Louis Il Cairo Narrow
Guage road" already completed,
l76 miles, TO st. Louis. The Arkan-
sas legislature, at its present session,
has passed an enabling act, granting
to Texas railway companies the
right to extend its lines through
that state, under the Texas charter
and directory, on condition that
Texas grants to these companies The
right to exercise corporate powers,
as Texas corporations, outside the
limits of this state. 1t Is most
reasonable request, recognized by
the American courts, that, in order
to the legal exercise of corporate
authority in other states, such
power must be conceded in the par
ent charter by the legislature. To
encourage the only proposed indie
pendent, competing railway sys-
TEN, looking towards st. Louis,
Chicago, Cincinnati, and event
ually Eastern cities, from Texas,
such legislation may be had
by Our legislature, consistent with
our Constitution aud laws, as will
give such encouragement. From
Waco, this company proposes to
run its main line in the direction of
Eagle Pass, on the Rio Grande, To
connect there with the Mexican
narrow gauge system of Palmer IL
Sullivan, and this within eighteen
months. This will bring the main
line of the road through Lampasas
or Burnet county or San Saba. In
the prosecution of this line the
people of Austin certainly feel
very deep interest. Time and again
the STATESMAN has urged the
building of a narrow gauge rail-
way towards these very coun-
ties, now soon to be pene-
trated by this road. The Sec
ton traversed will soon look
towards Waco, instead of Austin, for
supplies, and the only relief to these
people appears still to be to build
the line we have so often urged upon
them as business necessity. Fifty or
seventy-five miles of narrow guage
line will connect this city with the
trunk line, and this will cost q sum
not to be raised and secured by a
company organized here for its con-
struction. What terms might be
made with the Texas & st. Louis rail-
way has not been canvassed, and tits
not stated whether any favorable
connection could be made, but the
question should be looked into.

The federal building in this city
not yet quite completed, has been
put in apple-pie order for the inspec-
ton of a government architect. II
is thought that Supervising Archi-
tect Hill will do this inspecting if he
can only dsvetail into it the job ex-
pected Of an expert architect on the
plans for the new Capitol. Had he
been applied to, it is more than
probable he would have been salts
fed with the $1,000 already set aside
in the treasury for payment of this
service.

they do in the matter?

On the 18th of April the Commits.

On the 10Th of April the Commits
sioners of France, Austria, Italy,
Germany and the United States
meet In Paris to establish the ratio
that silver shall henceforth bear to
gold as currency for the contracting
powers. The rate which is thought
most likely to be fixed is 151 ounces
of silver to / of gold, though the
conference may agree to Is of silver
to ! of gold. At either of these
rates this country would make i'm
mensely on the establishment of BIZ
metalism. Under the existing con-
dition of things there is no general
standard and the silver coins ofthe
various continental nations are of
shifting weight and varying value.
1t is an error to suppose that this
country rules the silver markets of
the world. That metal is found in
Spain, in Russia, and 10 limited eX-
tent in Italy. The Asiatic mines are
of inexhaustible richness, but in
many parts of the less civilized dis
tricts they suffer from inadequate ma
chinery and imperfect means of
transportation. Germany, it seems,
has been boarding masses OF old sill
yer coin collected in her recent con-
quests until the sum total amounts to
over $2000O0O0O. Though the inn
perial government has appointed
representative to the Paris con-
ference, no expression in favor
of bimetalism has been given
and it is limited that the plan is to
drive a sharp bargain with the other
states, which have pronounced for
the double standard. England has
not yet decided to send any one, but
as the public demand seems to be in
favor of such action it is more than
likely that the government will be
represented when the conference
convenes. The three American com
missioners, Eyarts, Thurman and
Howe, are strong advocates of the
double standard theory, and they
will, in consequence, with France,
Italy and Austria. form a majority
III ANY event. The only point, there-
fore, that seems uncertain is the
ratio that will be settled on between
the two metals,
