ESPECIAL TO THE sESrINEL.l

System Of Railroads; Amos Tillinghost,
Assistant to President Vanderbilt; John
R. Duff of Boston; Judge R. P. Davey of
Cleveland, and I. B. Burrows Of St. Louis.
It has been stated in advance in q morning
paper that they were coming here to
arrange for terminal facilities and entryt to
Omaha Of the new railro~a to be builtfrom
st. Louis by the Vanderbilt interest.
Land, one OF the party, to-day said that q
good guess had been made; but further
than that nothing could be learned from
them. They have visited the outside Of
the city to-day, and have surveyed the
situation qnite thoroughly. and it is
believed they have secured . large tract OF
land for . yard. depots, shops, etc. Duff
was here q few weeks ago to spy out land.
Tillinghost says that the Vanderbilt system
has got to have its share of the Western
business hereafter or there will be a war.
There's got to be more than one hole in the
skinner. This party is not here on
pleasure; they have been busy all day, a
portion of the time being spent in con-
sultation with the Union Pacific officials.
Nothing definite or satisfactory can be
learned, although it is generally believed
that the contemplated Vanderbilt. st.
Louis & Omaha Railroad will be built at
an early day. Devereaux says the Wander
bilt lines, including the only four-track
road in the country, will extend from New
York to Chicago and St. Louis. The party
leave for Chicago tomorrow morning.
