The Proposed Fast Mail.
CHICAGO, July shit is stated that ne
gotiations are well under way between. the
Post flee Department and the Wabash road,
by which it Is proposed to carry through the
plan Of fast mail between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts by different route from that
originally intended. This is Lecessitated by
the refusal of the Chicago and Onsha lines
to enter into an arrangement. An agent OF
the Poet flee Department has been over the
Wabash line, ard reports that to the Missls-
sippi river il is as good as the Chicago line,
but west Of that point it is somewhat new
for the fast time proposed. The arrangement
is to connect with the fast train on the Lake
Shore road at Toledo, and make the run ever
the Wal a Ii to Council Bluffs by way Of Han
nibal. This route is only thirty miles longer
than the Chicago route, and it is believed
that the schedule time intended for the latter
can be made over it. The Chicago anG
| Omaha roads are b. coming alarmed about the
proposed change, it will create new
through passenger route, earring those who
would otherwise pass through Chicago and
over these roads.
Astonishing Railroad Building.
CHICAGO, July 5sh.-rhe RdH,cay Age,
| giving summary of railroad building for
| the first Elk months of 1882, says: Ihs totals
are astonishing. While on ly one-ha.f of the
year is gone, and that including several win
ter and spring months, when the work of con-
struction, especially IN the Northern States,
| is generally not even commenced, and while
there has been great cry about OVERRIDING
railway building and many predictions made
| of impending financial disaster we fad that
tracks have been laid on at least 179 lines in
thirty.seven States and Territories, adding
mileage of main track aggregating noAess
than 4. 800, or in round numbers ), 0C0 miles.
| 1t must be remembered that these figures
show only the main track, and do not include
| sidings and second, third and fourth tracks,
of which hundreds of miles have been laid.
How extraordinary has been the work OF the
past season in comparison with its prede-
cessor may be seen by the fact that while it
| shows nearly 5000 miles Of new road, the |
| aggregate reported for the same period last
year was only a little over 1900 miles,
and during the same period Of no previous
year has it equalled even that amount. The
total railway mileage of the United States is
now more than 10Y, 900 miles. The four Pa.
cific States and Territories show only 212l
miles.
