BUENOS AYRES RAILROADS.
THE GROWTH OF ROSARIO.
Buenos Ayres. April 2

BuenOs Ayres, April 20.
The Buenos Ayres and Rosario Railroad has
now been completed to Tucuman and opened N
commerce This is by far the most important
commercial event of the year in South America,
for it opens up vast extent of new territory anu
connects one of the richest provinces with tne
port. This line has branches to Santa Re.
Morteros and Santiago de Estero. and throughout
it's entire extent runs through the very richest
portion Of the republic There is no doubt that
it will be a profitable line from the outset and
will do more than any other for the industrial
development of the country. Apart from TINS
and the line across the Andes, activity In ralE
road works has for some time been almost en-
tirely suspended, chiefly on account Of the I'M
satisfactory financial condition of the country.
The contractors for the Transandine line are,
however. pushing their great enterprise steadily
and rapidly Fully two-thirds Of the entire ROAD
is now complete, and every available man is AZ
work upon the remainder. 1t is now expected
that the entire line from the River Plate to ths
Pacific Ocean will he completed and in full opera
ton before the end of 1893. The chief engineer
ing difficulty of the work is the tunnels. when
are numerous extraordinarily long and In many
cases far beneath the surface Of the earth Mos'
of them run through solid rock. and an elaborate
system Of drills driven by electric motors mas
been brought into use. AS a rule. the road has
easy grades, but there are some iather steep
which will be worked by cograil ana wheei
system.
These railroad enterprises have greatly added
70 the importance and prosperity OF Rosario, when
ia ,o;r ono dav to claim the chief place among
9 9iT, cities During the past two or three
Years the growth of the place has been marvellous
Miles of fine new streets have been iaid out ana
yyate bnildinQs have been erected. including na-
merous banks and hotels. and the river front u
now lined with large mills, factories, grain
slavators and warehouses.

TO PATAGONIA BY RAIL.

From The Chicago Tribune.
General Thomas o. Osborn. who Minister 10

field and Arthur administrations after an absence
Of eighteen years, arrived in Chicago yesterday. .
General Osborn is president of the Paraguay and
bolivar International Railroad, that between the
capitals Of these two countries. 4" In eight years
from now we win be able to step aboard a Pullman
car right here In Chicago and ride clear TO Patagonia
This trip will be over the Intercontnental Railroad
which l confident will be built by that time. The
undertaking Is not more difficult, in my opinion than
the building OF the Union Pacific, although the Inter
continental will be something 1000 miles long
The route is already laid out. From this country
to Mexico City there is already line and the route
s0uth from Mexico win be through Central America
and the isthmus. and thence through the northern
south American republics, stopping, whore practica-
bic az the capital OF each and thence down TO Lima

road will go that way because the great rivers Of
Brazil like the amazon. could not be crossed. In
tie wet season the whole country is flooded. From
Lima the line will 60 through Of and strike the
other broad plains cast OF the mountains. There
the route will be comparatively easy, and will be gen

The monument before us IL dedicated
to the illustrious general of our ar

Treaty of Washington is monument
to his memory which Will Outlive

Men like Grant have sprung from

they are Indispensable. in times of
