Meager Particulars Show 1t TO be the
Worst for Many Years.

Laredo, Tex, Sept. Information
regarding the fearful storm of Friday,
raging from Corpus Christi, Tex, and
across the border several hundred
miles into Mexico, is very meager. Late
tonight scarcely anything definite can
be learned. Enough is known, how
ever, to state that the storm Is the
worst in the history of northern Mex
leo.
Indications tonight show that wires
to the City of Mexico over the Mexican
railway will not be of service until to-
morrow, and unofficial information
would indicate the abandonment of the
through trains until the latter part of
the week.
In many places the Mexican National
roadbed is washed out for several hun
dred yards. At one point 800 yards of
the track were washed into small
river and twisted into all sorts of
shapes. 1t is reported that one passen-
ger train is stranded near Salome 30
tolo, small mining camp about 100
miues from Laredo, the embankment
being washed out at the head and rear
end of the train. There are no reports

WESTERN UNION HAS ITS TROUBLES
Dispute With the Southern Pacific Over
Lease of Lines.


San Francisco, Sept. IA dispute
has arisen between the Western Union
people and the Southern Pacific Com
pany. The former leases all of the tele-
graph lines of the railroad and operates
them as part of its telegraph system.
This arrangement has been in force
ever since 1877. One of the provisions
of the contract provides that the West
ern Union shall pay Mr.. Huntington
100000 annually. The payment for
this year is now several months over
due and the whole trouble is the out
growth of this Negligence on the part
of the Western Union. The Western
Union wishes reduction made In this
yearly rental. The Western Union
people claim that there was no oppo-
sition on the Pacific coast when the
contract was made, but that during the
last few years the company has been
subjected to the severest kind of COM
petition. Huntington and the Western
Union people have had the matter I'M
der consideration for some time and
the former is said to have so far declin-
ed to make any reduction.
