LONDON, June 2O.-A new American rail-
road company was brought out this morning
in The midst OF Encouragement caused by a
sort of panic in New York stocks. 1t is call
ed the AlabaNa, New Orleans and Pacific
Railroad Company. The prospectus states
that the object of the company is to acquire
a link which must eventually connect the At
lantic cities with New Orleans, The Gulf of
Mexico and the trans Mississippi system of
railroads. The capital asked for is S25 ,O0O,-
600, rather a heavy demand at such a mo-
ment. The solicitors of the company are
Morris d Co.. the railroad lawyers, long COLI
nected with the Erie people. The wonder
here is why capital should be asked for in
England, and why, if it is a. good scheme,
some of i is not offered to the American pub.
lie? This and other projects of a similar
kind are regarded with great suspicion, es-
pPcially at a Time when established American
stocks are being knocked up and down to
suit the convenience of brokers and s~pecuIa-
tors. Many of the new railroad companies
advertised lately have not been foated, but
mining schemes seem to grow in favor, and
any disused old pit in Cornwall viii now
bring a fancy price.
ST. LOUIS, June 20.-lt was stated at the
headquarters Of the Texas Pacific Road, at
Marshall, Texas, yesterday, that Jay Gould
has bought a controlling interest OF over two
thirds OF the stock in the East Line and Red
River narrow gauge railway, now running
over one hundred and fifty miles from Jetier-
sou, from James Scott, its President. This
is regarded as an injunction by Gould on the
Texas and St. Louis road. The Texas Pa
cifc track is now laid out fifteen miles on the
Staked PlaiHs and is being rushed on at the
rate of eight miles per week. The extension
OF the Missouri Pacific to its connection with
the Texas Pacifi. at M;nola was completed
last evening and trains can now run through
from St. Louis to San Antonio without
change
LONDON, June 20.-The government. ac-
cording to trustworthy reports, will point out
to Blaine that an organization is at work day
after day, under The eyes of h United States
authorities in arranging schemes for blowing
up English public buildings and destroying
innocent homes, as all evil calling for redress.
No doubU this representation will be made
with perfect courtesy, and it is believed that
the American people will call for a fair and
candid investigation of the foundation for it;
no demand will be made as to any particular
action. Cardinal Manning is greatly troub-
led over these outrages. They excite the peo-
pie terribly against Irish residents here. Sew
eral mill owners and other large employers of
labor in Liverpool district have given notice,
II further outrages are attempted they will be
reluctantly compelled to discharge Irislmen
in their employ.
LIMERICK. june 20.-The evictions and
process servings have continued throughout
Inc week without resistance. The bodies of
the police and soldiers have been so large as
to oVerawe even the bravest of the would be
insurgents. The most threatening of the
coming evictions are some which are to Oc.
cur at Mitchellstown, County Cork, where
1t Will be remembered, a fortnight ago, a des-
perate encounter was barely avoided on the
occasion Of evictions on the property of the
Countess of kingsLown. In no part of the
country are the people more determined and
reckless than at Mitchellstown, under the
shadow OF the famous Calls mountains, where
the rehelllous spirit is strongest.
NEW YORK, June 2O.-It is reported here
that efforts are being made to induce Grant
to accept the car didacy. Whether the prop

Plat ) is not known. The new Administra-
ton here, who have not heard of it, say that
if he was nominated in Conkline's place he
would be elected. but if the proposition was
to offer Conkling and Grant, it. would only
result III a more bitter fight than that in pro-
gress. There appears to be no reason for
supposing Cornell has made official an
nouncement that he will be a candidate. He
has told his friends repeatedly he could not
be a candidate against Conkling.
NEW YORK, June ~20.-Conkling, Grant
and Plat this morning went down town ON
