Siam, a country with some 6,000, 900 in
habitants and an area nearly as great as
that of the vast empire OF Texas, with Ner-
mont and Massachusetts added, has broken
ground recently for its first railway, which
is to be no miles long. SO the locomotive
is pushing into new fields, even in the old
est and most conservative portions Of the
world
The New York Tribune denies the pub
lished statement that the interview between
jay Gould and Postmaster General Waua-
maker had anything to do with the private
affairs OF the latter. They discussed postal
telegraphy, which Mr.. WenamaEer advo-
Gates and which Mr.. Gould strenuously
opposes as the principal stockholder OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
Macon is to have another railroad, to be
called the Macon Terminal, q Macon
dispatch says. Its charter is now being pre-
pared. The road will be in the nature of a
belt line. 1t will be three miles long. and
will cost S45, 900. 1t will start at the East
Tennessee passenger depot, and then run in
half circle, skirting the lower part of the
city, and 60 to some point near the junction
Of the Southwestern and Macon and Western
railroads. 1t will cross the East Tennessee
road, Covington and Macon, Macon and
Dublin, Georgia, Southwestern, and Georgia
Southern and otaer roads. 1t will be used
as transfer road TO transport freight from
one depot and railroad to another. A car
Of freight can be transferred for 81. Then,
along the line Of the Macon Terminal, fact
ories, mills and other industrial institutions
can be erected and the products quickly
and cheaply transferred.
1t looks as If the Richmond Terminal
Company has treed the Pennsylvania rail-
road coon. That is the way the New York
Herald putsit The latter for many years
has given the Terminal very poor freight
and passenger connections Ii estahliso led
through passenger trains from New York
TO the south with the Atlantic Coast Line OF
| railroads as well as quick freight lines, bu,
steadily omitted to offer any such service &c
the Richmond and Danvllle, the
northeastern link of the terminal chain.
The Little Wizard and John H Inman
| put their heads together few weeks age
aud told the Pennsylvania people that il
they didn't care to trade with the Terminal
they guessed the Baltimore aud Ohio would
THIS opened the eyes of the Pennsylvanis
folks, and they saw fitting across the land
and Ohio road and the Terminal svotem
welded into one. Vice President Franl
! Thomson Of the Pennsylvania, at onc'
had conference with the Little Wizard
and John II. Inmsn, at which he Learned
what the Terminal wanted. The Wizard
does not generally hesitate to reach out for
whatever "a IN sight, and on this occasion
he was not a bit modest In defining hi
wishes. The Terminal, these gentlemsn de-

tracks In Washington, so as to run its own
Pullman vestibuled trains right through
from here TO Atlanta and New Orleans
| This right is given to the Atlantic Coas
Line, aud the Terminal would not accept

Association, No. 346 Broad way, where Mr.
Thomson was attending the trunk lice presi
ueQLS convention. Inc dlScuSSion was not
lengthy, but it was understood that the up
shot fit was a complete reconciliation OF
the differences between the two great rail
roads, and the ruthless slaughter of tbs
| exclusive-contract- with-the- Baltimore and
Ohio bugaboo. Arrangements will 60 into

the running Of the vestibuled trains from
Jersey City, and the freight service will bt
amended TO suit Mr. Inman just es quickly a.
the managers Of the roads can get down to de
tails. Mr.. Thomson returned to Philadelphia
with great load OFF his mind. Mr.. lunar
seemed perfectly satisfied, and every one
else concerned was greatly interested In tat
thought that Richmond and Danville traini
are to invade this territory and make thell
appearance for the first time In the history
Of either line upon Pennsylvania railroad
tracks just across the North river.
