ST. LOUIS, March 1g--The Republican has
an article on the narrow. gnuge railroad sys-
tenn Of Mexico which gives reformation not

rived from the highest authority, and may

lied under The Dare Of the Mexican Ma
tional Construction Company, with ex-
Governor Hunt, Of Colorado, as manager,
and General w. j. Palmer and James Sui
fvan occupying high positions. The road
Is TO be known as the Mexican Central, and
will be practically an extension OF the Den
yer and Rio Grande road. although under
different organizations. Under the provis-
ions Of the grant the Mexican National
Construction Company IL required TO build
the first Interoceanic line from the City Of
Mexico to the Pacific ocean.
The company is required to complete 21I
miles OF the road every two years. The
Interoceanic line must be completed with.
In five years. and The Iniernati )nal within
eight Years from last September. Under
the subsidy proper The Government gives
the company SlI.265 per mile OF road
constructed on the line from Mexico
City TO the Paciiic, aud 80, 400 per mile
on the line to the northern frontier.
To indemnify the Government against fall
ure to build the line by the parties asking
the concession James Sullivan has deposited
100000 in Monte de- Piedad, which is to
remain on deposit until sixty'two miles OF
the railroad from Mexico City to The Pacific
are completed. The amount can then be
withdrawn and an equal amount In INST
mortgage bonds Of the railroad company
substituted therefor. The entire line, when
will be about 1000 miles long.

FERRED-wHAT LED TO THE ARRESTS.
WASHINGTON, March 10 The nvestiga-
ton which led to the exposure Of the al
legged land swindle in Missouri and the ar
rest Of Robert l.. Lindsay at ST. Louis and
OF other alleged land-swindlers at Clcye-
land and Pittsburgh was inStigated by let
ter received by Secretary SchurZ more than
year ago. This letter stated that Lindsay,
whose father had once been in charge OF the
Land Office at Ironton, Mo-. had in his pos
session one or two boxes filed with United
States land patents, which were certain
Iy genuine, although Lindsay might
have obtained them by questionable
means. The Secretary secured Special
Agent ID. Z. Terrell, OF the Treasury De-
partment, to investigate the matter, and the
result OF his laborS was the arrest oil Lind
say and others. II is believed at the Land
Office that the "rIng" have obtained fraud
ulent titles to more than Il million acres Of
public lands, the most OF which they have
sold TO innocent settlers, who therefore
have no valid title TO the land they occupy,
aud office officials say that it rests with the
Secretary OF the Interior and the Attorney
General to decide whether civil suits shall
be begun 10 vacate the titles TO these lands.
Ii is believed that whatever is determined
upon it will be so arranged that the blow
shall not fall too heavily upon the thou
sands OF duped settlers whose undisputed
titles TO their homes are affected.
