Robinson's Resignation.

Special TO the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO. TEX. Oct. CID. B. Rob-
inson' s resignation of the managership of
the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway
Is exciting great comment. II occurred af-
ter he had made a tour of inspection, and it
IS said he then found matters so unsatisfac-
tory that he decided to have nothing to do
with the road. Mr.. Robinson is an expert
enced man and was for many
years general manager of the
Atlantic division of the Southern
Pacific, so that his action carries with titan
adverse criticism of the road. The fact that
he should have res gned such good and
profitable position to take an inferior posi-
ton on the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
and the appointment of Geo L. Sands as
general superintendent leads many railroad
officials to believe that the Southern Pacific
IS playing trump hand in the game and it
IS openly asserted that ere long the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass road will be-
come part Of the Southern Pacific system.

passed by the last congress appropri-
ating money for the purchase Of land along
Rock creek in the suburbs Of Wash
ington for the purpose of park.
The owners of q portion Of the
land at once raised the price to an unheard-
of figure, and a government commission
has been engaged all summer in hearing
claims and making appraisements. Some
of the owners agreed to the bids made
by the appraisers, generally about SO pei
cent above the minimum appraised wal0e

offers, subject to approval by the president
President Harrison approved to-day
all the offers except that of
