The Pan-American Scheme.

''The Argentine Republic is looking upon the
proposition to connect the United States with
all the various nations of this hemisphere by an
international railway with much hope, - said
Carlos ortis Basnaldo, who is now in Chicago.
There is nothing of an International nature
we desire SO much as closer relations with this
country. But until the holding of the Pan
American congress we entertained little hope of
securing such relations, and this railroad may
not promote them. It will we think take
twenty-five years to build such road Some of
the republics in South America are SO much in
terested in politics they care comparatively
nothing for business, and therefore give but lit
tie time to 1t. In the Argentine Republic, how
ever, business is our chief concern. Everybody
is busy. If a stranger comes to amuse himself
in our country he must find that amusement
alone. for there is no one who has time to spend
with him. We have no leisure class. Our pop
ulatlon OF 6.0OO,OOO was increased last year by
290, 600 immigrants. All are working. In con-
sequence we are very prosperous, and such a
thing as man willing to work suffering for the
necessaries Of life is not Known

AN 1nrPoRrANr POINT.
The Union Pacific Northwestern Contract to
be Looked Into.

The Union Pacific Northwestern Contract to
be Looked Into.
The attention of the Interstate commerce
commission is to be called to the contract en-
tered into between the Chicago and Northwest
ern and the Union Pacific railroads, with the
view of having it authoritatively decided ii such
contracts are not contrary to the interstate
commerce law. 1t is urged by some of the com
petitors of these roads that their contract Is
manifestly contrary to the third section of the
law. which provides that no common carrier
shall discriminate against any other common
carrier in the matter of the division OF uncon-
whereby the Union Pacific gives all its
through freight to the Northwestern
and the Northwestern gives all its
business to the Union Pacific is clear case of
discrimination against all the other connections
of these roads. The one makes no claims to
proprietary interest in the other. Their con-
tract IL is argued, is nothing more nor less than
q traffic agreement. and one which, under the
law, they had no right to make. Just how the
interstate commission is not stated. 1t is not
likelythat any of the roads competitors will
take the initiative in the matter-not because
they acquiesce in the contract, but because such
an action would not be in accordance with the
code of etiquette which railroad presidents have
laid down for the treatment of each other. They
do not like the contract it is true, but they like
the interference of the courts in the manage
ment of their affairs still less, and none of them
know how soon they might be hauled over the
Goals themselves for some irregularities in other
directions were the understanding which now
governs their dealings with each other to be
ignored.

a rremendous RaggaCe RECORD.

Cspt. Jim Britton never made a truer remark
than when he said more people get on and off
at Fort Worth than all other towns in Texas
combined and had he been here when the
general bsggagemsster made up his report for
the month of May, he would then have fully
realized how close to the center he had shot.
The report of the baggagemaster at the Union
depot for May is undoubtedly the heaviest record
of baggage ever handled at any one station in
Texas in one month, the total number of pieces
being very near 20, 600. This is of course indca-
tive of the immense volume of travel to and
from Fort Worth during that time. What city
in Texas can come near up TO this record?
