NEW YORK, Jan. 24.--The pas
senger agents of the railroads on
the Trunk Line and Central Traffic
association territories concluded
their meeting Jan. -, and the
agreement drawn up by them will
be submitted to the managers of

provisions will govern all the i'm
portant lines in the joint
territory. There will be no adj
vance in passenger rates, and the

Spreckles' Last Sugar Scheme.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 24.--
Claus Spreckles' representatives
here have signed a contract with
John Rosenfelds' Sons, shipping
merchants, by which Rosenfelds
will carry raw sugar from this port
around Cape Horn to New York at
the rate of $3.50; 400 tons of sugar
already have been placed on the
ship r.. ID. Rice, which is ready to
sail, and all Rosenfelds' ships here
after will carry 500 to 1000 tons.
1t is estimated that $4,000 tons of
raw sugar will be shipped in this
manner and refined in New York.
This means a loss Of about $1,000
600 to San Francisco, as the cost Of
refining is not less than $50 ton,
represented in coal, ships, wages
and expenses of the big refineries.
Heretofore the Southern Pacific
carried the refined sugar from this
city to the Missouri river points at
500 hundred, but the Spreckles
company now claims it is cheaper
to ship raw sugar around the Horn,
refine it in New York and reship
west by rail.

The following is a communica

German. The translator has tried to
give the sense Of the writer, for the
original is full of authorizations,
diminutives and other faults, to
make it hard work to give good
sense in translation:
"SAN ANTONIO, Jan. -, 1894.
GAS a great deal of talk is being
made regarding the million loan
for the building of waterworks, and
the city administration is shaking
its head to and fro to feel the pulse,
presumably Of the people,, it
might be agreeable to those not ia
miliar with the case, to get the fol-
lowing information
"Some II or Is years ago the city
of San Antonio built under the ad-
ministration of Mayor French its
own waterwOrks upon property be-
longing to the city. the so-called
'Tenery land; in consequence she
can save this million, since the
two small pump houses above the
City Brewery have been standing
dry these last two months, and as
the city pump house alone is sup
plying the city with water.
Then it shows clearly that
the Waterworks company built
these two pumphouses upon. its
own property for speculation, in
order to, at a proper time sell
them under the title of "water-
works" to the good city of San
Antonio for "only a million" To
