NEW TINE TABLE
UT the Aiotison. Topeka & santa Fe Rail- road, Which Delays All southern arizona Mail Twenty-Four
 Hours

Sunday last, at F o'clock noon. the
 new time schedule went into effect
 making a very radical change in the
 running time from La Junta south. to
 accommodate the new through route by
 the Atlantic and Pacific road. Pas
 sengers for the New Mexico line now leave Kansas City by the morning In- stead of the evening train, and leave La Junta Tn the afternoon. Supper Is served at haton and breakfast at Wallace. Prob ably dinner station will be arranged at San M rcial or Socorro. The tram reaches Albuquerque about 9 o'clock a. h., and the two sleepe-s-one from Kan SIS City and the othe< from St. Louis Va Halstead- will be transferred to the A. & r. road, going through to the Need les where there is 8 change for San Fran cisco. No sleepers will be run south of Albuquerque at present. as it will be day run all the way, but it Is probable that their cars wlll be put on for the ac- eommodatlOn Of sleeping car passengers. Instead of arriving at Deming in the morning, trains arrive now between s and yo'clock In the evening. local time, and leave ln the morning at about . o'clock.
 The above information has been pub lished ln a number of Kansas and New
 Mexican papers and seems to be official, so far as the 4. S P.snd the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe roads are concerned. but IS misleading. Tn a measure as to the Southern Pacific. A representative of the CITIZEN called upon Col Bean, superintendent of the Southern Pacific, yesterday, and made inquiry as to the running time of tine latter road, and was informed that no change whatever had been made ln time; that through trains with sleepers continued to be run from New Orleans Co San Francisco, and that the Texas Pacific continued to make close connection with the Southern Pa clnc al II PasC, and that sleepers of that road also, continued to run through to Deming. This change of time on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road has the effect of delaying all mail mat ter east and north of Kansas city des- tined for southern Arizona, twenty four hours, and all mail matter from points west of Kansas city, destined for southern Arizona, twelve hours.
 IhIs IS very serious delay, and one that will work hardship and injury to business nen in Ihe southern part of the Territory from Deming west to Yuma
 IL would be well for the business men Of Tucson, Tombstone, Phenix and other important trade centers to inquire into this matter, and if possible, secure a change of time on the Atchison road from Albuquerque to Deming, so as to make close connection with the South- ern Pacific at the latter place. But in the event of failure to secure close connection as above indicated, We still have a remedy by having all southern Arizona mail forwarded over the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf road to Fort Scott, Kansas, and from thence via the Missouri Pacific system to Fort Worth or Dallas, Texas, to a connection with the Southern Pacific, which will furnish us with our eastern mail in the same time as it has hitherto been furnished over rhe Atchlson, Topeka and Santa Fe road. This question, as above stated | Is of very great importance to southern Arizona, and immediate steps should be taken to remedy the delay in our mails l which cannot help but result in great damage t1 the business interests of the l entire southern portion of this Terri | tory.
