Captain MERRY Report.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5-The
Immigration Commission Of the
Board of Trade has received a re.
port from Capt. Merry, appointed
to interview A. N. TowDe of the
Central Pacific on the subject of
cheap fares for immigrants. Mr..
Towne had apparently not yet
made up his midn as to just what
the railroad would do. He could
give no decisive information, but
intimated that upon the return of
Governor Stanford some compre-
hensive plan would be adopted to
settle up the lines of railroad with
the proper kind of immigrants.
From what Mr.. Town said, con-
tinued Capt. Merry, We were given
to understand that the Union Pa
cific Railroad people were not at
all disposed to allow immigrants
to pass beyond the line OF their
own road, either into California or
Oregon. When the Southern Pacific
Is In amicable arrangement with
some through line, the proper
scheme for landing immigrants
would be put In motion. The com.
mittee listened to suggestions on
the subject OF bringing immigrants
to California on gram ships, and
appointed Capt. Merry and J. A.
Folger subcommittee to inquire
further into the subject. 1t was
stated that in eighteen months the
Southern Pacific Railroad will con-
meet with the lines of the passen-
ger steamers at Galveston, Texas,
when immigrants would be
brought to this State as cheaply as
they are now to Kansas. The
meeting then adjourned subject to
the call of the Chair.
