The Black List.

There's a curious little book to be found
in the locked drawers of the revolving desk
of every general passenger and ticket agent.
1t the railroad man Is a real good friend of
yours he may show it to you If you ask him
for a peep at it, but he would rather on the
whole that you woul not tai his friendship
quite that far, for he really ought not to let
the book come under the eye of anyone
outside Of his own Office. If you do get a
glimpse of it and look on the title page for
the publishers name you will not find it
there. The book is entitled, confidential
Memorandum" and it is ISSUED for the
exclusive use of those to whom it is sent"
If yon ask your friend, the general passen-
ger agent, where 1t is published, he will
ask him VINO publishes it, he will give
you the same answer. 1t contains the
names of those persons who have misused
their passes, and 1t does not mince words
IN describing them, either. These nineteen
pages of blacklisted individuals, seven
some Of them religious journals, and among
the individuals are a number of c%lergymen.
One preacher ALTERED his half-fare permit
SO as to include his wife" Several OF them
loaned their permits to others, etc. Here is

q list of men who sold their passes, and none
OF the people mentioned will ever get anoth-

States till their names are taken out of that

be said that the greatest care is exercised
before anyone is blacklisted. A general
passenger agent cannot put a mans name
on the list until he has written a full, de-
tailed account of the transaction, describ-
ing all OF the particulars aad taken oath
to the same before a notary. He must then

New Line From New York to Chicago.

New Line From New York to Chicago.
The Canadian Pacific railroad has about
completed arrangements that will practi-
cally create a new rail route between New
York and Chicago. This rumor has re-
ceived much attention in Chicago of late,
but heretofore has lacked confirmation. An
interested official says positively that it is
q fact, and gave the following details:
The new route will be the Canadian Pa
cifo from New York to Detroit; from De-
tIoit on an entirely new air line will be
built via Fort Wayne to Chicago; a new
line will also be built from Detroit to
Toledo and from Toledo to a junction with
the Detroit Chicago branch. The Canadian
Pacific cannot of course operate lines in
the United States, n the new lines will
be built by the B~rice-Thomas syndicate
and Richmond Terminal interests, amply
backed by money furnished by Canadian
Pacific directors.
Almost, if not quito, enough subsidies
have been granted by different cities and
counties to build the line from Detroit.
Contracts have already been let for this
work and contractors are bound to COM
plste it before snow flies. In addition the
Canadian Pacific has been authorized by
the parliament railway committee to build
the South Ontario Pacific road from Wood
stock via Hamilton to the Niagara river,
~NAANA ~ W RoAAo W q HOW VdltAloS6I
bridge.
The same corporation will also build from
Buffalo via Hamilton to Toronto and Sc
cure another lake outlet by building from
Teeswatsr to Ki%ncardine on Lake Huron.
This work is all to be completed within a
year and provides for everything except the
Chicago terminal, which will be unless pres
ent negotiations are declared of, the new
Lake Street Elevated road. In effect the
new road will be a gigantic belt line giving
entrance to Chicago to such lines as the
Valley, Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg,
Western New York d Pennsylvania. Rich
mond Terminal and others which are now
tied by other connections. Mileage rights
will be leased to these roads, enough leases
having already been made to guarantee
handsome earnings. With the inauguration
of the new route the Canadian Pacific will
duplicate on the Atlantic its Pacific Ocean
fleet of steamers.

There are certain lines in the Western
Passenger association that are not blessed
with more gold han they can use. and they
have concluded it was wise to save what
little lucre they have. Certain Of these
roads have prominent banking houses
backing them in the east. These hackers
differ from the officials of the road in this,
that they do not cars to waste any money
ueedlessly, or because of any foolish ssnti-
ment or shadow Of a principle. These
hackers Of these roads realize that q crisis
is impending, and, If a halt 10 not called. it
will out-crisis any crisis ever known. These
hackers realize that a rate war just now
would speedily place certain lines in receiv-
ers' hands without demoralizing the line
they are most anxious to crush. These
hackers have, therefore sent word to the
managers that the western lines must stop
having a lot of cheap music whom there is
nc money with which to pay the fiddlers.
Sc the managers have been asked to request
Chairman Finley to call a meeting of the
general managers of the lines in the West
ern Passenger association for tho settle
ment of the trouble that has arisen because
of Chairman Finley's fight with the Alton
IA
There is no mistaking the feeling among
the western roads in this matter. They no
longer hesitate to say hat Chairman Finley
has gone too far, and hat he failed to do
his duty when he allowed tho Alton to pay
that $500 fine without calling upon the
association to settle the disturbance.
A few OF Mr.. Finley's defenders claim that
he laid the correspondence before the lines
in interest. That is true, but he did not 20
far enough in one direction and went too
far in another when he did not suggest a
meeting of the lines and went on hitting
the Alton.
If the trouble is not settled at once there
will be the greatest kind of a row. The
Grand Army rates are a mighty pivot of
power just now, and thousands of dollars
will be saved to every line in the west if
the Alton il treated fairly. If it is not MIR.
Charlton says he will make rates to meet
the occasion. He wants all the business
from points west of Chicago to go to the
Detroit conclave over the Wabash road,
which is the only line in the Western Pas
senger association reaching Detroit. In
other words, he wants the western lines to
stick by each other and defend the west
against the east. The Alton does not want
the business to go to Detroit over any line
that has boycotted it.

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1891-03-27

A blizzard has prevailed in Kansas and
Nebraska for three days past and great
suffering among cattle.
1t can now be stated as certain that ex-
Representative Carter, of Montana, has
been offered the ommissionership of the
general land office to succeed Judge Croft.
At Chicago, Banker E. S. Kean, has
been indicted by the grand jury for de-
frauding his creditors in connection with
the failure of his bank some months ago.
In his inaugural address Governor
Boyd, of Nebraska recommended the pas
sage of bill providing that presidential
electors be chosen one from each district
and two at large. Such bill was intro
duced in the house and passed.
The British government through the
Marquis of Salisbury, has formally noti-
fed Mr.. Blaine, United States secretary
of state, that Great Britain accepts Presi-
dent Harrison's invitation to take part in
the Worlds fair at Chicago in 1898.
The country from eastern Kansas to
Denver has disappeared under heavy
fall of snow. At Junction City the
snow is five inches deep, at Hays City
twelve inches, and in Colorado there is
foot and half of it. A biting wind
storm is whirling the show into great
drifts, and railroad tracks everywhere
have disappeared from sight.

real thing needed was the substitution Of
a competent investigating authority. The
function of Congress in such cases is pro-
perly administrative, consisting in the re-
servation of claims for examination, while
this examination is essentially a judicial
function.
AT last, however, q forward step has
been taken by the establishment of a
laad court for the adjustment of all
these claims arising out Of possession of
territory ceded by Mexico. An analogous
disposition of the French spoliation cases
by referring them to the court of claims
secured an investigation of cases that had
been postponed nearly twice as long as
these Mexican grants. the Southwest
ern Territories will be relieved at the pro-
spect that this obstacle to their develop
ment is now to be removed, and that
land titles there will be divested of the
uncertainty in which many of them are
involved.

WASHINGTON, March, 26.-The presi-
dent has appointed Ivory G. Kimball, of
the District of Columbia, to be United
States Judge of the police court Of the
District Of Columbia to act until the next
session of the United States senate. This
appointment is made under the provis-
ions of the local police court act, approved
March 3, 1891, and is insignificant mas
much as it indicates that the president
feels legally authorized to fill a newly
created presidential Office during recess OF
congress. While the additional circuit
Judge comes in this category, it is not re-
garded that likely that their appointm ents
will be made for several months yet.
