 The Railroad Combination.
 CHICAGO, August 13.-FrOm a trust worthy source the Times derives some fresh and interesting intelligence rela- tive to the organization of the executive management of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, and the probability of a finan- cIal alliance between that corporation and the Texas Pacific interest and the extensive enterprises now under prose- cution by the AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Ee. By the election just held, the Atlantic and Pacific Is now com posed of II. C. Mutt, the newly elected President; F. I. WinslOw, President of the St. LOuis and San Francisco rail- road; W. B. Strong, President of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe; T. lief fersOn Coolidge, Director of the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe, and Jesse Seligman, Director of the St. Louis and San Francisco. The board as re-Organ- lZed embraces the strongest executive heads in the management of the three different roads. $. $. Tuckman Is made Secretary, and $. W. Cummins, late Passenger Agent of the Atlantic and Pacific, Treasurer. The road is to be energetically extended across Arizona tO San Francisco. Nuit will leave Boston next week for a trip over the complete line, and upon returning tO Albuquerque he will proceed direct to California to start the work of construction eastward from San Francisco. The road IS now in operation for 2SO miles westward from Albuquerque, and its completion to San Francisco, 9O0 miles, is an assured fact within two years Money is in the treasury for its extension to the Needles. on the Colorado River. The Texas and Pacific Company expects the litigation now pending will result in its being placed in possession of the South ern Pacific railway from Yuma to Fl Paso. In such an event t would be sllra of an outlet to the .vests . coast, or, in the event of a comp 'ogIse, the Texas Pacific and Southern Pacific Company would probably jointly occupy the lat ter's constructed track to Yuma. How ever that may result, 1t IS not improba- ble. though not yet finally determined on, that the Texas Pacific would unite with the Atlantic and Pacific in extend ing the latter from the Needles to San Francisco.
