CITY OF MEXICO, January 15.-The
representatives Of the New York Life In.
surarcs Company have lodged complaint
with the police authorities because Of the
publication in certain Mexican papers OF
an article printed widely in the United
States, which had reference to the new
form Of policy offered by the company and
recently condemned by the Massachusetts
Commissioner of Insurance. Carlos Lee
Cook, mansgsr of the Leading news agency
of Mexico, which handled the article in
question, has been called upon by the
police for an explanation. He has ex-
planned that the article was originally
published in a responsible New York
paper, and then telegraphed throughout
the United States as q matter Of general
interest, and takes the ground that the
company is trying by the appeal to the
police to prevent the official condemnation
OF its new policy from bsiog understood in
this country.

COnjectures as to What VIII Become
This Railroad.

COnjectures to What VIII Become of
This Railroad
What will become of the International and
Great Northern rsilroad-into whose hands it
will fall--is now most interesting problem in
railroad circles and the fate of this line will, in
one way another, have no little influence
on the railroad situation in Texas. The Jour
nal of Finance, published in ew York, in re-
ierring to this mater intimates that an import
ant transaction is aoout to me m ide in re alton
to this road, and saws that il is claimed the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, it is said,
will coon succeed in accomplishing its long
cherished desire of securing con plete control Of
the Intern ltioual and Great Northern "a lroad.
For wears Jaw Gould and the Missouri Kansas
and Texas have shared The control OF this va.u-
able property, each party striving its utmost to
advance its own interests
The Gould interest in the road was transfe red
a year ago to the bondholdors. and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas management, ever since the
influence Of the Gould par Y has been removed
from the councils Of the company, have re-
doubled their efforts 10 increase their hold on
the property. success seems now to lie attach
ing 1t. elf to the schemes so long in contempla-
ton, AMI there is every probaoi ity of an early
move being made.
The important changes consequent on such
deal as is now likely to occur at any moment
are apparent to any one at ali familiar with the
complicated relations among Texas railways.
Not only does the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
secure possession of SIS miles OF new roadbed,
but consequences far more important than the
mere acquisition of so much more mileage fol-
low SuCn u move uAiNeslOu, WHICH Is only
entered by two roads-the Gulf Colorado and
Santa Fe and the international and Great North
ern-would thus be opened to the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas. WHAT valuable concessions
it might extract, and what favorable traffic con-
tracts it mi ght MAKE with the Mallory and other
lines OF steamers touching at Galveston, is as
yet too early to say. Not less important would
be the valuable connections with the Mexican
National ut Laredo. The preponderating in
fluence that this combination would exert in
changing present traffic arrangements in Texas
would be such as to change the whole complex
ion of affairs there

offers Oo1 a mile and right of way through the
county. Word has also been received from
Throckmorton and Shackleford counties. and
they taking lively interest in raising the
necessary bonus. By the 20th, the time set to
meet ct Abilene, the whole amount will be
raised, and every county, from Henrietta to
san Angelo, will be present. Dispatches have
been received from parties in Kansas City and
New York that they will be at Abilene on the
10th inst. This projected railroad line is re-
ceiving great attention, as n makes route Of
over l6i miles nearer from the Southwest to the
Kansas City, 81. Louis and Chicago markets.
Hon. A. d. Goodnough, our MAYOR, has re-
ceived letters from capitalists in Kansas City,
making an offer to place the bonds of this pro-
iec ed line soon as everything is put in proper
shape. and at Abilene, on the 20th inst, every
thirg will be put in satisfactory shape, and
within the next sixty days dirt will be flying on
this great artery OF comnercs to the Southwest.
Parties in New York and Boston who inter-
ested in this great enterprise state that the line
will be built from Henrietta southwest to Abb
lene on to San Angelo, an from there direct to
Eagle Pass. Tex, on the Bio Grande.
Property has taken rise since this line has
become an assured fact, and property is chang
ing hands daily.
