w nat heCelVef tOnen says ABOUT
the Construction Contract.
Mr.. Solomon Cohen, receiver for the
Savannah, Dublin and Western Railroad
Company, was asked yesterday what cre-
dence he put in the report that capital
had been secured to build the road. He
replied that be knew nothing officially
save what ne read In the telegraph COL
umns of the MORNING NEWS. lie bad
been aware for some time that negOtia-
| tons to that end were in progress and be
d ID not doubt but that contract has been
signed for the completion OF the road.
Mr.. Cohen added that he had been In
formed in private conversation with d.
rector of the railroad COMPANY that an
agreement existed between the railroad
company and the United States Railroad
obstruction Company Tor the building of
the line.
Next FRIDAY has been fixed as the date
for the hearing OF the Injunction case,

ent. II the company has secured capital

settle with Ferguson & Co., though not
upon their terms. Some of the holders Of
Ferguson h Co.'s scrip are of the
opinion that the Fergusons are trying to
effect a compromise with the railroad
com pany, and the holders are uneasy as
to their claims. The railroad company
Will maintain, il the case is argued, that
Ferguson d Co. never fulfilled their
contract, by which they were to
be paid as fast as every section of
10 miles was completed. No section has
been completed, ana that the complain.
ants admit, but they claim that in equity
they should be allowed compensation for
the woik done.
The checks issued by Ferguson II Co.
will amount to $4,000, said a holder OF a
lew hundred dollars worth yes
terday. He added that be
knew of two or three failures that
had been caused by Ferguson a. CO.'s ina
bility to redeem the checks. One promi-
nent business man of this city holds 3d.

have taken legal advice, and talk OF taking
steps TO enjoin the railroad company
from settling with Ferguson d Co. until
they, the creditors of the contractors, are
In way TO protect their interests.
A consultation of the directors in the

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
What 1t Has to Say in Its Annual
RepOrt,

The Railroad Commission OF this State
has made its annual report to the Cow
ernor. After reviewing the important
cases with which 1t has dealt during the
year, 1t says:
The operations OF the commission, while
affording as we believe reasonable salts
faction to the people, have not, IN our
Judgment, worked injury or injustice TO
the railroads. The reports of tEe different
companies recently made to this office OF
their operations for the past year, not
withstanaing the general depression tnat
affects the prosperity OF the country, show
In almost every instance a striking In
crease in their business and earnings.
With view of obtaining reliable infor-
nation as to the railroads now beng con-
structed IN the stale the commission
issuedsCircular No. II. calling upon all
railroads doing business in the State and
all companies having railroads under
construc ION to make quarterly reports TO
the commission, the first TO be fled by
Oct. 10, 1886, showing number of miles OF
track laid during the quarter and NUMBER
OF miles graded and number and length OF
de tracks laid during the same time.
New companies were requested to reporU
the number OF miles of track laid and
number of miles graded previous TO the
GttHe Vi MAKING IueiT HTSb IS-
port. This circular has met with
but partial response from
the railroad companies. Enough in
formation, however, has been obtained 10
warrant the belief that perhaps as many
miles have been cOnstrucj ed within the
past year as ever before In the history OF
the State. About 200 miles of track has
been laid, and the incom plete reports We
have show that more than 100 miles have
Al - IL hn-
not been laid. Several other lines OF
magnitude and Importance have been pro-
jected. and seem in fair way of being
pushed to successful completion.

HIS VIEWS OF MEXICO.
EX-NTINTSFER ) }CkSON'S RE
TURN 10 AMMAN.

what He Says About the Land or the
Ancient Aztecs-Mexicsn Railroads
Mt Profitable Invesiments-The EN-
NIinist silent as to his Resignation.
Gen. Henry b. Jackson, ex-Minister to
Mexico. and Mrs. jackson arrived in Sa-
vannah yesterday morning and register
ed at the Screven House. Gen. Jackson
was the picture of good health and be
said that he had excellent health while IN
Mexico.
The ex-Minister spent the morning at
his flee and received several friends. al
though it was not generally known that
he was in the city. Last night Gen. and
Mrs. Jackson returned to Atlanta and
they will remain in North Georgia until
the weather gets colder In the winter
he will resume the practice Of his pro-
fession and will reside at Bull and CASTOR
streets.
OF the relations between the United
States and Mexico and such matters as
the Cutting case and Sedgwick scandal.
Gen. jackson explained that he could
not speak. The positions of Ministers are
extremely delicate and the government
exacts OF them that their lips be kept
sealed on everything OF an Official nature.
Even of his own res ignation, though long
since handed in and accep ed, he did not
feel at liberty TO talk, except to say that
he had not been disappointed in any Of
his anticipatons OF Mexico.
The country is remarkably rich in min
erals, and some of the mines which have
been worked for centuries still seem in
eXhaustible. the eX-Mlnister observed.
Personally, he was shown the greatest
courtesy and hOnors, but there is no
marked trlendliness on the part of the
Mexican for citizens OF the United States.
That aud the results OF some large invest
ments in railroads have caused reaction,
ana there does hot seem to be so much OF
a boom now as there was few years
back. The history OF the Mexican rail-
roads, however, has been little different
from that of many railroads in the United
States.
The original investors get a good fund
of experience but no dividends. AS
showing, nevertheless, that capital from
the United States Is being Invested in
Mexico, Gen. Jackson picked up from bis
desk paper containing marked article
in which it was stated that son OF eX-
Senator Hearst, OF California, has recent
1y purchased an immense tract of fertile
land there.
Gen. Jackson gives fascinating descrip-
tions OF the natural beauty OF the country
of the ancient Aztecs. The government,
now in the hands of Gen. Diaz, is popular,
and his administration promises to be
notably successful.
