The Wall Street news of June 18th has
the following, from which it appears that
Vanderbilt Is endeavoring to get a foot
hold in Texas, II he has not already done so.
\ The Texas e st. Louis narrow gauge, oil
which the Vanderbilt interest is reported tn
have secured contlol runs parallel with an d
about forty miles east OF the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain IA Southern, from Cairo south
westerly to Texarkana, 400 miles, and
thence through Corsicana and Waco about
800 miles further to Gatesvlle, its present
terminus. 1t is further intended to extend
1t to the Mexican border ut Fort Duncan on
the Rio Grande. At Corsicana it crosses
the Houston e Texas Central, which runs
to Houston; and at McGregor, near Gates
vile, tcrosses the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
which runs to Galveston, and is now max
ing trouble Tor the Missouri Pacific by in
terfering with its Texas Il Pacific and In.
ternational Il Great Northern branches. BY
its connection with the Gulf, Colorado 4
Santa Fe at McGregor ON the south end and
with the st. Louis Il Cairo at the north end
under u fifty years contract, the Texas &
st Louis makesupa line 900 miles longbe
tween Galveston IL ST. Louis. AT the latter
point it connects with Mr.. Vanderbilt's Bee
Line running from St. Louis to Cleveland
and which is made up of the Alton & Ter
re Haute, the Indianapolis Il st. Louis and
the Cincinnati Cleveland Il Indanapoi,
roads. Thus it will be seen the Lake Shore
