Ketrenchment ON the Santa FeA. 4
T.. Receivershfp-New Train
Scheduled Rail Notes.

A change of train schedules takes effect
on the A., T. & s. F. on Sunday, making
slight changes in and out of Santa Fe.
The morning train for the west to con-
meet with the California flyer will leave
here at $50 instead of S:15, returning to
bring the eastern and northern mail at
1855, instead of 1920. The train going
east to connect with the Chicago limited
will leave here ct 1905, five minutes later
than at present, returning here as now at
1920 No change occurs in the movement
of night trains.
By the A., I. 4. F. order, referred to in
these columns yesterday, four Offices were
abolished and the jurisdiction of other
officials changed to meet the demand Of
the directors that expenses be curtailed.
This change extends the Jurisdiction of
Gen. Supt. II. U. Nudge from Dodge City
to Denver and south to Albuqr cirque and
to Ell Paso and over the Silver Chy
branch. The offices of western grand
division superintendent, assistant super
intendent of the Chicago division, general
road master of the Chicago division and
general road master of the eastern divis-
ion are all abolished. Charles Dyer, who
has been superintendent of the western
grand division, will now be superintend-
emit of the western division from Dodge
City to Denver. q. B. Htrohm, who has
been assistant superintendent of the Chi
cago division, will now be train master at
Chillicothe, Mo-, the present train master
being reduced to chief dispatcher.
The A., T. & s. F. advises Agent Lutz
that it's new pamphlet on health resorts
in New Mexico is in press and will be
issued at an early Gay. The circulation
of this publication at the east ought to
result in attracting large share of west
ern tourist travel to New Mexico this
summer.
1t is again reported that J. W. Hanna,
of Colorado, has sold the bonds necessary
to construct the Albuquerque & Durango
railroad. It ia singular, however, that
Hon. q. B. Ferguson, who is one of the
promoters of this enterprise, is not inter-
viewed on the subject by the Albuquer.
que press. As for Mr.. Hanna he has
yelled "wolf" too often to be entirely re-
liable.
Messrs. q. T. White, s. n. Buchanan, j.
P. Dieter and A. P. Coles, of the White
Oaks railroad subsidy committee, were
out yesterday doing good work. During
the day they secured subscriptions
amounting in the aggregate to about $751;

Mr.. @. W. Smith, the new receiver for
the Atlantic 4 Pacific road, will assume
control of the property tomorrow. 1t is
now admitted on all sides that the A. d P.
as we'll as the St. Louis q San Francisco
are to follow in the foot steps of the
Colorado Midland and be severed entirely
from the A., T. d 8. F. management.
Speaking to this text New York press
dispatch says: "The point now is to de-
termine how far the A., T. & 8. F. will be
hurt by being left alone. Its capitaliza-
tion will, of course, be reduced, but its
mileage will also be reduced. 1t has ex-
cellent territory and advantageous lines.
Skillful management will give it place
among the best systems, in spite of draw
backs, if applied at once, some financial
experts say"
This foreshadows many changes on the
Santa Fe. Economy will be the watch
word Of President Ripley.
