on to the Gulf.

Mr.. johnson, the contractor OF the
first 20 miles Of the Aransas Pass rail-
road. Is due with his outfit to-day. and
work will begin inside Of two oT three
days. The work will begin at the river
crossing, which will be about half way
between the Sunset bridge and the First
mission. The contract calls for the NOV
ing Of ut least 10000 yards OF earth
month, and it Is optional with the d.
reotors under certain conditions as to
whether that amount can be increased.
Mr.. Lott said this morning TO LIGHT
man that an engineer corps was now in
the field to locate 90 miles more OF the
road, which was to be put under con.
tract as soon M reports and proper pro-
files were in. This would take il TO
the mouth of Eoleto creek, about six
miles below Helena, where it could
command the trade of the surrounding
country rs far rs Beeville and the rich
farming community In the vicinity OF
Yorktown.
The equipment contracts have not yet
been made. This will be very easy
matter as the rolling stock companies
are only too willing to make easy con-
tracts.
In referring to the local encourage
ment, MIR. Lott says that IL is by no
means very hearty, and should the
calamity OF having II pass from the con-
troll of the local interests ever befall the
enterprise, tho people OF San Antonio
will have no one to blame for II but
themselves. lie would do all he could
TO have 1t become and remain strictly
San Antonio road, run entirely In its
interests, but could only accomplish
that object by the hearty cooperation Of
the capitalists and influence of our peo-
Pile. lie complained that many men
looked upon the road MS already an ao-
complished fact, while in reality 1t had
not vet made beginning, and that the
capital and labor combined was not
drop in the bucket compared with what
Is TO come.

The State of Maine arived at this port yes
terday noon from Bath. AS she steamed slow
ly up the harbor the vessel presented fine ap-
pesrance. She was decoratsd with the Ameri-
can and British flags, her pennant and the flag
of the company. On board workmen were
busiy engaged in putting the finishing touches
TO the work. The woodwork in the saloons is
very nearly new. but the former style of the
finish has been preserved. The fittings and
bedding will be almost entirely new. On the
hurricane deck the dome roof has been cut off
about two feet, giving more working room and
better light for the saloon below. The en-
gines have been thoroughly overhsuled and
placed in good running order.
