Railroad Matters Atlantic and Pacific
agreement.
CHICAGO, April 7th.--Your correspondent
understands that the following comes from
the Inside :" The statements heretofore nub-
lished with reference to an agreement Re.
Gently ratified by the Southern Pacific,
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, and the St.
Louis and San Francisco r ilroad Compa-
MES, IA relation TO the extension Of the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad, have failed to
impart any satisfactory information as to the
nature an scope Of the arrangements. The
amount Of subscription asked for the com
pletion Of the Atlantic and Pacific to San
Francisco was SIG 600 0O0. The purchase
By Gould and Huntington of an interest
in the ST. Louis and San Francisco road
ipterfered somewhat with the plan
of extension agreed upon. A compromi e
agreement reduces the total subscription to
Sc 600, OO0-S6 900 0G0 for the western di.
vision iron Albuquerque westWaro). and
$500 coo for the central division taom Vinita
to Albuquerquel 1t is understood that this
amount Is fixed upon under the original plan,
and the official circulars regarding the At
lantic and Pacific. Ooe-third OF the total is
apportioned to the St. Louis and San Fran
cisco Company, one third TO the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe, and the other third to
the fnancil agents, Seligman & Co. Tbs
agreement provides that this money
is to be applied to building the road
to the Colorado river. The agreement
does not. siugulariy enough, fix the
location in Ariz)ua and California, but
merely stipulates that they shall be upon the
most direct line between the present end OF
the Atlantic and Pacific and the Mohave, or
Southern Pacific Nor is the matter of fu-
tuIe extensions definitely fixed, but decision
on that gu stion is lett until both the Allan
tic and Pachc from the east, and the MOhave
branch Of tire Southern Pacific from the west
shal be completed to the Colorado river
While the river is fixed on as the nominal
ulate that the approaching roads shall connect
there, or that the Southern Pacific shall be
extended TO the river, but states that the
Southern Pacific will build to the west bank
of the river. The agreement defers settle
ment of the Inevitable question of an inter
change Of traffic until soma future date.
Another sing lar provision Of the agreement
is that if requested by the Atlantic and Pa
cidc Company to do so, the Southern Pacific
Company shall execute a guaranty of % per
cent. on all the gross receipts from all inter-
changed business Of that company, and
its connections to and from California
points: and this. it is further provided,
is to be upon precisely the same terms
as apply to traffic with the St. Louis
and San Francisco and Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Companies. It is also stipulated
that the ST. Louis and San Francisco Com
panv is to give similar guarantee on all
traffic interchanged between it aud the cen
trail division. This after all, amounts only
to trucs. There ia nothing in the agree
ment about San Francisco outlet for the
Atlantic and Pacific, and nothing to prevent
the latter company, if it shall fail to secure
satisfactory terms in the future settlements
provided for, from extending its line from the
Colorado river to San Francisco, or for that
matter to the Pacific ocean at any other
point.
