CHICAGO, April 7.-Your cores
pOndent understands that the fol-
lowing comes from ''the inside":
The statements heretofore pub
lished with reference to the agree
ment recently ratified by the
Southern Pacific, the AtchisOD,
Topeka and Santa Fee and the St.
LOUIS aud San Francisco Railroad
Companies in relation to the ex.
tension of the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad have failed to impart auy
satisfactory information as to the
nature and scope of the arrange
ments. The amount of subscript.
ton asked for the con pletiOn Of
the Atlantic and Pacific to San
Francisco WAS sixteen millions.
The purchase by Gould and Hunt
ingtOn of All interest In the st.
Louis aud San Francisco road in
terfered somewhat with the plan
of extension agreed upon The
compromise agieemeDt reduces the
total agreement to $6,6OO,-
COO-six million dollars for
the western division from
Albuquerque westward and six
hundred Thousand dollars for the
central division from Vinita to
Albuquerque. 1t il understood
that this amount is fixed upon un-
der the original plan, aud TIE Off
cial circulars regarding the Allan
tic and Pacific say that one-thiTd
of the total is appOrtioued to the
st. Louis and San Francisco Conn
pany, ole third to the AtchisoD,
Topeka and Santa Fe, and the other
third to the financial agents, Selig-
man u Co. The agreement pro-
vides that this money Is TO be APP
piled to building the road to the
Colorado river. The agreement
does not, sigularIy enough, fix the
location in Arizona and California,
but merely stipulates that il shall
be upon the most direct line be-
tween the present end of the At
Iantic and Pacific and Mohave on
the Southern Pacific. Nor is the
matter of future extensions def
Ditely fixed, but the decision Of
that question is left uutil both the
Atlantic and Pacific from the east
and the MObave branch of the
Southern Pacific from the west are
connected. White river is fixed on
AS the nominal point Of junction.
The agreement fails to stipulate
that the approaching roads shall
connect there, or that the Southern
Pacific shall be extended TO the
river, but states tina. the Southern
Pacific will build to the west bank
OF the river. The agreement de-
fers the settlement of the inrvita-
BILE question of Interchange OF trai-
fic until some future date. Another
singular provision of the agree
ment is that, Ii requested by the
Atlantic and Pacific Company to do
80, the Southern Pacific shall exc
cute u guarantee Of % per cent. on
all the gross receipts from inter-
changed business of that company
and it's connections TO and from
California points and this. 1t il
further provided that il is to be on
precisely the same terms AS apply
to the traffic with the 81. Louis
and San Francisco and the Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe Com
panies. It is also stipulated that
the St. Louis and San San Fran
cisco Company 10 to give a similar
guaranty on all traffic intercharged
between 1t and the Central Divis.
ion. This, after all, amounts only
to truce. There is nothing in the
agreement about u San francisco
outlet for the Atlantic and Pacific,
and nothing to prevent the latter
COmpany,il 1t should fail to secure
satisfactory terms in the future
settlements provided for, from ex-
tending its line from tue Colorado
river to San Francisco, or for that
matter to the Pacific ocean at any
other point.
