THE RAILROADS.
Is the Union Pacific Building Another
TranScOntinental Line.
Reasons Why the Albuquerque Should Be
Rushed Ahead-J. 81. Phillips succeeds
Levi Hege a Second Term.

Word comes from Sioux City that the
the Pacific Short Line is being pushed
rapidly to completion. The mystery
about the line is in regard TO the person q
back of it. A short time ago President
Fish of the Illinois Central assured a re-
porter that neither he nor the Illinois
Central had o cents worth of interest in
the Pacific Short Line; officials of the st.
Paul and Northwestern roads are equally
explicit in their denials. In spite of
these denials by lines supposedly inter-
ested, some one is putting up millions
of dollars for construction, and before
snow flies the Union Pacific may have q
competitor which will compete for every
pound of through traffic between Ogden
and the Missouri river. The explanations
of the building of the line are interesting
and plausible, but neither can be con-
firmed. 1t will not cost half the amount
which the Union Pacific owes the govern
ment. 1t practically parallels the Union
Pacific aud has all its connections in ad-
dition to the northern outlets via the
Great Northern and Canadian Pacific.
The pertinent question is then asked:
Wouldn' Z it be an extremely profta-
Die plan for the Union Pacific TO build the
Pacific Short Line and then turn its
present road over TO the government?
The answer is always in the affirmative.
Other possible hackers OF tho line are
either the Great Northern or Canadian
Pacific, either of which would profit i'm
meusely by such q feeder.

Time That the Albuquerque Was Getting
Along More Lively.
Work has been going on on the Albu-
querque road ever since the first dirt
was broken, when the weather would
permit it, but the progress has not been
as rapid as it might have been. The
general answer given to all inquiries has
been:
1.-The Albuquerque is all right, and
will be completed TO Springtown in time
10 earn the Fort Worth subsidy
This may be, aud as long as everything
else was quiet probably this was good
enough; but the time has now come
when il looks as if the Albuquerque
would have to hump herself If the van
tage it now holds is to
he maintained. There are
now at work near Athens, lot of rail-
road hands on a line that is to connect
with the Texas Trunk road leading out of
Dallas, and it is said this has something
10 do with the Dallas, Archer and Pacific
scheme. If this is true it be-
hOoves the Albuquerque people
TO be on the lookout, or before
they know it they might be left behind
in the race for the Northwestern terri
tory. Railroad men who have been
watching the situation say that there is
no time now TO be lost, but that the AL
buquerque road must be pushed, or Fort
Worth and those at the back of this road
will suffer

A short time since tramp with more
than the usual amount of gall possessed
by his species, did very peculiar piece
of work at Earlville, Iowa. While the
work gang of the Milwaukee road was
eating breakfast at boarding house
near the track, tramp jumped into the
cab Of the locomotive attached to
the work train at the depot and
opened the throttle wide. The train
shot out with lightning speed, and al
though the railroad men saw it start they
were unable to overtake it.
Ten minutes later freight train pulled
in, the engine was detached aud the
crew started in pursuit of the stolen
train. Just outside of Panama, seven
miles west, the work train was found
standing on the track, but no trace was
discovered of the thief. Steam was up
in the engine, but the tramp was evil
IDENTITY afraid to run by the town and so
deserted his stolen property. The en-
gineer expresses the belief that the
tramp must be an engineer.

rronhle Over coloraao Tieket..

Trouble over this cheap tickets to
Denver has already commenced. While
the rates were in operation at Chicago
the scalpers loaded themselves with the
tickets, aud all they could not sell
they forwarded TO Colorado points,
where they will be good for the journey
10 Chicago for the next thirty days.
The regular fare from Denver to Chi
cago is $50 60 and the price at which the
cheap round trip tickets were sold was
S27, so there is q large margin for the
return trip. The road seems inclined
to bear with the evil as well as they can,

cided not to aeoede to the demands of

men in from a country station this morn
ing and put them to work, and it IS said

only nineteen men being left where here
tofore 200 have been employed. This
was done on the order of l.. G. Cannon,
general agent for the receiver, who gave
as his reason that the control of the
road passes out of his hands in August
and he must cut down expenses. On
the other hand, the people in Hunting

permanently removing the shops from

THE KATY ABSORPTION.
Interrogations as tot he Negotiations with the
Atchison People Met by Significant
Smiles,


Special TO the Gazette.
NEW YORK, June 26.-There was pref
ty free wispering to-day that the Atchi-
son had already entered into negotia-
tions for the absorption of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas. The Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas people were asked about
the rumor, but they only smiled without
committing themselves. A gentleman
who is interested in the property said he
understood that the Katy people were
anxious to have the property in position
of being separated completely from all
possible alliance with the Gould system.
1t Is said the proposed deal between thu
Missouri Pacific and Atchison is simply
to be on basis of the sam traffic ar
raugement The episode of the sale of
the court of appeals decision in
Wall street four or five days
before the decision as amended from
the bench caused any amount of adverse
comment. Just how the decision became
known TO the politician who h8wked il.
has not yet TRANSFERRED, but will be made
known, doubtless, when the court makes
an investigation.
The peculiar, laundering way in which
the decision was finally announced is re-
garded now as evidence that some one
close to the court was in intrigue with
the market Triggers. 1t is said that Tam
many politicians have been thick on the.
street for several days, and were large
short-sellers of sugar trust, but it is be-
lied that so far they have not been able
TO cover their shorts ut any great profit,
except those who were the very first in
