CHICAGO, January 3-The state

with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, establishing an all rail- route from
here to Guaymas, and from there to

The English lord has been induced to

feasibility, the great advantages over
the Pacific mail and the fact that the
Santa Fe road is 80 ably managed. A
grand success is nearly a certainty.

RAILROADS IN MEXICO.
"That brings you to the third head
OF the discourse. I lmsginef'
"Yes," assented Mr.. Thurston,
land the next, / believe, Is the sub
iect of railroads. In the past all the
transportation has been done by pack
mules at the rate of one cent a pound
for tweuly leagues, the result being
that every producer has had to rely
upon local markets, and there
fore has rated his supply to
this limited demand. Mexico has
awakened up to the fact that she Is
behind the age, and all the great
schemes of to day are those of inter-
communication, and hence the rail-
roads-the Mexican Central, the Mex
lean National, the Gould Degrees and
the Huntington line. The Mexican
Central is a Coston corporation, and
its lines run through the heart of the
country. The main line connects ri
Paso with the city of Mexico, 1850
miles, passing through sever cities of
over 80. 600 inhabitants. 1t is being
constructed rapidly at both ends.
From FL Paso south it Ia built 800
miles, the remaining 700 to be built
by the LIST of June, 1884. The Mexi-
can Central has also q branch limo
running from San Luis Potosi to
Tsmpioo, on the gulf Of Mexico, and
. second from Leon to San Bias. The
first branch Ia to be finished In three
years and the second In FIVE. The
Mexican Central runs from Laredo,
on the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande, down through the pop
ulous city Of Monterey to
the capital, and has also a branch from
Mexico to Manzanillo. That company
has built 1876 miles out from Mexico,
and on the coast has completed the
line from Mansanillo to Collins. The
Gould D. gress road started from
Brownsville Ia Texas, and was to run
to Mexico almost parallel with the
National. Much work was done from
the border south, but operations have
been suspended. The Huntington
road crosses the border at Eagle pass
In Texas, and proceeds south to Mex
loo. Work was commenced on the LIST
OF December. There Is no through
line as you see, but on the pieces of
road which arc completed the travel
has been immense. For instance, the

A NEWsPAPER POOL.

WASHINGTON, May l8.-A very
prominent New York politician, who
is now here on an important law case,
IN which he represents the interests OF
the government, said this morning
that he had heard an interesting piece
OF news at the Union League Club in
New York. He said Republican pol

but Mr.. Pulitzer is only one Of a syn.
dictate that has secured control A
man who ought to know, who dropped
into the Union Leage Club just after
a long trip to inspect the Texas
Pacific system of railroads, said that
the two active men 10 the arrangement
were Pulitzer and Maj. Burke, of the
New Orleans Times Democrat. They
had with some others, obtained ca II
enough not only to secure the Word,
but to form a unique journalistic
combination. 1t seems that four, and
probably FIVE, newspapers have formed
pooling arrangement. Those are
the New York World, St. Louis Post
Dispatch, the New Orleans Times.
Democrat, and a new paper to be es-
tablished in Dallas, Texas, on the
Mexican border. The pool owns the
World, while retaining their interests
in the other papers.
Before long they expect to treat the
country to something of sensation
in the way Of simultaneous publ
cation in each of these cities. They
will also pool on their news and in
their receipts and expenses. The
gentlemen said that very favorable
terms had been obtained from Mr..
Gould respecting payment for the
World, very long time paper having
been given, satisfactorily secured, and
that the bulk of the ready cash which
tAe pool has-believed to be quite
sizeable-will be used to establish the
World in the fifteen months preceding
the next Presidential election. The
pool will cut loose from the free trade
policy of the World and advocate
moderate protection views. The fifth
paper will probably consolidate with
the World, that is, the Morning Jour
nal, of New York, which is not suS
tanning its first success.
