Charles Wescott, private. secretary of
Count Telfener, confirms the report that
work on the New York, Texas d Mexican
road is to be abandoned temporaily,at least,
upon its completion to Victoria, which point
| it is expected to reach on the 18th, The
cause, as assigned, being that under the
new law the road is deprived OF its land
| grants. 1t is thought here among those in
position to judge that the act can be
proven invalid if contested in the
| Federal courts. The road will
| be constructed in Mexico, how
ever, as undertaken, from Matamoras
to Vera Cruz, for the construction Of which
the Mexican government has granted a
subsidy Of $4,000 per mile, together with
right. of-w way and full privilege to all lumber
required by the road in its construction
from off government lands.
