POOLING THEIR ISSUES.
COL. MACHEN MAKES A FLYING
TRIP TO SAVANNAH.

A Conference With the Macon Con-
struction Company People-Gen.
Alexander Spends Day in savan-
nah and OF for New York Again
The Savannah Construction Board
to Hold an Important Meeting
To day.
Gen. E. P. Alexander, president Of the
Central railroad, has been almost making
his headquarters in New York the past two
weeks, and after spending one day in Sa-
vannah left again last night for the north.
a MORNING News reporter sought TO
interview Gen. Alexander yesterday after
noon, but the general said that be had moth
ing new to communicate.
To the pointed question as to whether the
projected lines of railway to Savannah are
having anything TO do with his northern
trips, Gen. Alexander said they have not.
Ii Is understood, however, that his errands
are closely connected with financial nego-
tiations pending in New York, and it is
believed that the extension Of the CentraPs
lines into Southern Alabama and an in
crease in the Ocean steamship fleet are
enterprises which only await successful
financial negotiations.
THE MILLEDGEvILLE DELEGATION.
The MilIedgevile delegation selected to
confer with Gen. Alexander, as to whether
the Central will consent to the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic travelling the Centraps
road to Milledgeville, has thus far been
unable to get date hxed for the conference,
although they have used both mail ana
wire. At last accounts the delegation was
informed that Gen. Alexander would meet
1t on his return from New York. To the
surprise of the friends of the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic, Gen. Alexander left for New
York last night, although some OF the Mil
ledgeville delegation are in the city.
Col. E. G. Machen came to Savannah
yesterday morning at the invitation, it is
reliably learned, of the Savannah members
OF the Macon Construction Company, with
whom he was in close conference yesterday,
and he left last night for Macon without
disclosing the result of the conference, and
the Savannah men are equally as close
mouthed.
NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS.
1t has leaked out, however. that negotia-
tons are pending for harmony Of action
between the two systems, and the Seaboard
company, people are now in close counsel
with the Middle Georgia and Atlantic COM
pauy and the Macon Construction Com
pany.
A gentleman well informed said last
night that the building of both roads is now
we'll assured. and it is believed that the de-
tails of an alliance have been agreed upon,
and will be consunmated before the week
closes. The happy turn affairs are taking
has created general confidence in the success
of both of these important railroad enter
prises.
The directory Of the Savannah Construc-
ton COmDanV will meet TODAY. and IL is
understood the meeting will be an impor-
taut one, looking to more active operations.
The intention is to hurry the construction
Of the road from Savannah to Sisters ferry,
and then take up the South Carolina por
ton of the road afterward.
