The Action of the Southern Pacific Com
pany on the Houston Texas Central
Agreement.
New YORK, Sept. 3.-The time for
receiving bondholders' signatures to the
Houston & Texas Central agreement ex-
PRED Wednesday, but no steps have yet
been taken by the Southern Pacific people
to extend the time, except directing that
memorandums be Kept of all parties who
desire to sign the agreement. The sigma
tnres so far amount to about seven
million dollars. One OF the principal
bondholders had conference with Mr..
Huntington yesterday, with view TO
having the time extended, on account of a
majority Of the bondholders being away
during the summer, and although no
action has yet been taken, probably this
will be done.
