Further Details of the Pro
jected Railroad From Bar

and Tampico.
San Antonio Express.

4 AANIh 4uOAiCO was annOun-
ced in the Express yesterday,
was seen yesterday afternoon
by a reporter for the Express
and asked relative to the new
railway project in which Mr..
McCracken acted as agent for
northern capitalists in securing
the Mexican governments con-
cession. which is a large one.
Mr.. McCracken spoke very
highly of his treatment in Mex
leo. In regard to the railroad
project he said:
owe have secured valuable
railroad concession, including
a subsidy, to run from Barro-
teran, State of Coahuila, thence
to Nuevo Laredo, thence down
the Rio Grande and to Tam
pico. The ultimate destination
of this road will be the City of
Mexico. This road will ira
verse the richest portion of the
Rio Grande valley, which is
equal to the Delta of the Nile
in the production of sugar, cot
ton and corn, besides a great
variety of fruit.
The valley of Soto la Marina
contains one of the largest re-
gions of agricultural and hor-
ticultural lands in Mexico.
"The district of Tamaulipas,
through which the road will
pass from Camargo to Mata-
moros and thence to Tampico,
is an agricultural country.
There are found rich, inexhaus-
tible salt deposits in the Lagu-
ma Madre at San Pedro. near
Matamoros; there are also on
this road the old and rich min
ing districts Of San Carlos and
San Nicolas. Tamaulipas pos
sesses the largest herds of
horses, cattle an l sheep of any
state in the Republic.
"This road will form a nue.
clus to facilitate the transpor.
tation Of silver, lead ores from
the great mineral districts of
Coahuila.
The company own fifty
squares miles Of. bituminous
coal, containing a high percen-
tage of fixed carbon and max
ing high grade of coke COM
pairing favorably with Collins
vile and New Castle coal and
coke. The vein averages five
feet in thickness and is well
situated for mining, being above
the drainage of the valley. The
company propose to develop
these valuable coal fields at
once.
"The great scarcity of cheap
fuel is one of the main prob
lens and vital questions in
Mexico today, serving in a
marked degree to retard the
manufacturing and mining in
dustries and to check their ma
terial progress, hence the object
of building the road for the dis
tribution of coal to the com
mercial centers of Mexico.
"The company is composed
of Chicago and Boston capital

First Session of the Fifty Fourth Congress
to Open Today.

TO open Today.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The first
week of the 54th congress, which con-
venes at noon tomorrow, promises
nothing at either end of the capital in
the way of actual legislation. The
time before the Christmas holidays is
usually devoted to preliminary mat
ters, and the work of the session does
not begin until after the recess. The
new congress will probably not be an
exception to this rule. The senate
proceedings may be enlivened by an
attempt at reorganization, but in the
house nothing can be done until the
committees are appointed. Speaker
elect Reed says the committees will be
announced this week, with perhaps a
single exception-the committee on
rules. This committee formulates the
rules which are to govern the house
during its session, and it is customary
for the speakers to name it during the
first week in order that it can imme6-
lately begin its labor.
