a REPORT Of committee of the Mexi-

can National and the Mexican Central

much Of the time covered by the report,
the former having some 500 miles in
operation and the latter 1900, an aggre-

pounds OF material, while the Mexican
railroad between Vera Cruz and the
City Of Mexico, about 200 miles, which
has been completed number OF years,

Foster, who is supposed to have some

contains several important railroad
towns; and, third, the victory has been
gained In the face Of two consecutive de-
feats In the years 1882 and 1888. In the
former year, the anti-prohlbition major
lily was 227, in comparatively full vote;
In 1883, this majority was more than
doubled, but now, in contest which
seems to have brought out the full voting
