New YORK, January 18th. = Charles
| Crocker, being asked concerning the New
Orleans extension Of the Southern Pacific,
said he expected an excellent business over
that route. He had already applications for
transportation OF negro labOrers from the
| South TO California. They sre needed in the
vineyards and cotton fields that are being
opened in the southern part of the State.
Since the exclusion of Chinese emigration the
demand for cheap labor in California has
become serious. 1t looks to me, con.
tinued MIR. Croker, as II there would be
call there that the Chinese must come. We
are also pushing our Atlantic and Pacific to
meet the western extension of the At
lantic and Pacific road, and the
two ends will probably be connected in
! April or May next. That will open another
through route to compete for the Pacific coast
! business. | fear the country is TO suffer from
too many railroads. There is not enough
through business for all the lines that will be
| opened to California. Some of them will
have to develop local business if they ex-
7ect to prosper. 1 think General Palmer will
| be disappointed in his expectations of the
| through business that will come to the Den.
yer and Rio Grande when its line is opened
to Ogden. The trouble with that line is that
it begins nowhere. 1t will have to get its
through business from the East from the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, which
then will have its own line
over the Atlantic and Pacific, uI-
less the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
road uses the Ogden route. There is no in
ducement for the lsst-named road to reship
its freight over the Denver narrow gauge
| line."
Have you abandoned hopes of securing

Texas and Pacific road has transferred to
your"
"Not at all. Congress has not definitely
declared that land grant forfeited. It was
secured to the Texas and Pacific road and It's
assigns, and it has been assigned 70 the
Southern Pacific. We shall make an effort
to get Congress to confirm the assignment to
us, and there is M good reason why that
should not be DONE"
