But the Work Of Trying Goes On.
The Globe Democrat of Sunday says:
"The Texas freight rate situation was

Issued by the Missouri Pacific Iron Noun

THE RAILROADS.
A Suggestion that the Rock Island
Utilize the Albuquerque Track.
The Freight Rate Situation Still Tangled
one-GenPral Railroad News,
Notes and Personals.

Work has been suspended on the AL
there are no prospects that it will be re-
sumed soon by Messrs. Hurley, Tierney
& Lynch. who by transfer from Presi-
dent Black are the owners of the line,
with all its franchises and apertenances.
What will become of the track? is a
question that is frequently asked, but no
satisfactory answer has been made yet,
but it is hardly probable that 1t will be
abandoned altogether. A road into the
country which this line was intended to
be run is too valuable territory to remain
untouched by a line of railroad, and it is
a sure thing that a road will be built
into it, and that before many years
roll by. BY whom it will be built
is yet a question, but THE GAZETTE
would suggest that If nothing else can be
done II would not be a bad idea to
make some kind of deal with the Book
Island people by which they could get
hold of the work already done and util-
ize 1t when they begin to build their line
into Texas.
Messrs. Hurley, Tlerney s. Lynch have
expended somewhere in the neighbour
hood of $40 900 on the line, and the
people of Fort Worth have raised a bonus
of $40, 900 for the road, to be paid when
certain conditions were complied
with. Now Fort Worth wants
the road built and never was
particular who built it, and would
have given the $40 900 to any company
no matter where they come from, that
wonld have built the road. Now, so
long as the present company say they can
not and will not build it any further,
but are willing, if they can get their
money back, to turn over everything to
q company that will build the line, how
would it do for the Rock Island people to
be substituted to the present company?
This would insure the road TO Fort Worth
and would bring to this city one of the
greatest trunk lines in the United States.
By such al arrangement Messrs. Hur-
ley, TlerneY s. Lynch could be saved
what they have expended, and Fort
Worth would be out no more than she
originally intended TO be. 1t is probable
that such an arrangement could be
made, and if such is the case 1t would at
once settle the route, so far as Fort
Worth is concerned, of the Rock Island
road.

NEW COMPLICATIONS.
The Worlds Fair Bill in q Shapp That IL May
Through Necessity, b. Vetoed
Hasty Legislation
Special to the Gazette.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 4.-Consterna-
of the World s fair by the discovery that
the late special session of the legislature
had done its work go hastily that con-
stitutionai provision had crept into the
Worlds fair bill just passed, and that
there was great danger OF the gov
ernor's vetoing the measure. This will
kill both Lake Front and jackson Park
sites. The proposition which put the
bill in jeopardy WAS an amendment rela-
tive to submerged lands, aud reads:
"Aud any submerged lands which
may be filled under the provisions hereof
shall accrue to the city of Chicago TO be
forever maintained as pnblio park.
The amendment in brief, creates no
park, and legislates away the title to
such submerged land as may be re-
claimed, the same being the property of
the state. 1t is not, it is claimed, with
in the purview of the call which would
seem to contemplate legislation giving
the World s fair only use of the public
ground of either state, city or park for
the purpose of fair. The courts of the
state have said time and again that 'but
one subject shall be included in one act,
and that shall be expressed in its title. -
Governor Fifer is greatly perplexed over
the matter, and does not know what to
do in the premises. If Governor Flfer is
forced to veto the bill II ls understood he
will not reconvene the legislature, but
will allow the matter to be introduced in
the Thirty seventh general assembly,
which oouvenes in January next. In
that case the people would not get to
vote on il until the fall of 1892. 1t is
thought the governor will not veto the
bill If he finds he can consistently sign
it, for he has at oil times been q friend
of the fair

Forced to Take 1t Back.

The railway commissioners of Iowa
have revoked the schedule of joint rate 8
promulgated 10y them June 10, and
which was supposed to have gone in force
July 4. In its stead they have issu ed an
order providing that when a shipment is
made over two or more lines in the state
eacn road shall be entitled to 80 per
cent. of the local rates provided in the
tariff which went into effect last Satur-
day. The railroads have bitterly OPP
posed the former schedule and have re-
fused to adopt it. The new schedule
will be much more satisfactory to the
shorter roads.

'If Texas is favored with reasonable
rains from now on - said freight man
to GAZETTE reporter yesterday, "the
railroads in the state will have their
hands full to handle the cotton busi-
ness. The acreage is much larger than
ever before, and 1t looks now as If the
