BORDER SENTIMENT.
Ell Paso Pleased Over the Alleged
Atchison and Topeka Deal.

Atchfson and topeka Deal.
Ell PAso (Tex.), December 7th.-The
current rumors that Jay Gould had ac-
quired controlling interest in the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, and
the likelihood that the great line would
be managed hereafter on principles con-
current with the Missouri Pacific system,
have created favorable feeling in Ell Paso.
The Santa Fe has hitherto persistently
tried to build up New Orleans at the ex-
pense of FL Paso, but the endeavor signally
failed Ell Paso's commercial progress and
prosperity have been principally upheld by
the Texas Pacific road. Governor J. c.
Brown, its manager, always predicted that
this ity would grow into a great CONNER
cial center. AS Governor Brown has always
been the trusted and confidential lieutenant
of Jay Gould in his Southwestern interests,
it is very likely that if the above-men-
toned rumors prove true, Ell Paso would
have the powerful influence of friend at
headquarters.
