Progress on the PittsburG md Gulf.
Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat
Omaha, Neb., December 30.--Many futile
attempts have been made within the past
quarter OF a century to construct north
and south line from this territory to the
Gulf of Mexico. Tho time when this pro-
ject shall finally be realized is now close
at hand. The Kansas City, Fittsburg and
Gulf railroad Is the name Of the road, which
is finally nearing completion and which
will have for It's Northern terminus Omaha;
for its Southern terminus Port Arthur,
Texas. In four months through trains will
be running between Omaha and Port Ar
thur. There are several gaps in the road
to be built, but plans have been made for
the completion of these unfinished parts
of the system. The contract for building
the road from Pattonsburg, Mo-. TO Tren-
ton, Mo, has already been given out, and
men are at work there. The contract for
building the line from Kansas City to Pat
tonsburg, where connection Will be made
with the Omaha and st. Louis for Omaha,
will be awarded In few days The sys-
TEN will. when completed, operate through
| the States OF Nebraska Iowa. Missouri,
| Kansas. Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and
| Indian Territory. The entire amount OF
track yet to be laid is but $50 miles. which,
when considering the extent OF the entire
system, leaves but comparatively little
work to be done.
The course OF the road is from Omaha Ia
| Petersburg. Mo: Pattonsburg to Kansas
| City: Kansas City to Horatio, Ark; Hora-
tito to Many. La. and Many to Port Arthur
| The uncompleted sections comprise
seventytwo miles between Pattonsburg ana

Galveston, Texas. January 3.--There has
been good deal Of speculation over the
visit to and rather prolonged stay of Presi-
dent e. II. r. Green of the Texas Midland
road in Galveston. and it has taken quite Il
wide range. Mr.. Green was in conference
with a number of people while here. but he
left this afternoon without having given out
any very definite statement of his inten
tions in such a way as to reach the public,
1t is believed, however, that combination
of railroad interests with MIR. Green at the
head is on the card, whether 1t materiali2es
or not. The idea appears to be thsb the
Green interests may absorb the Houston
and Texas Central railway. purchase the
Galveston, La Porte and Houston line and.
in conjunction with the Texas Midland,
form a connection with the st. Louis and
San Francisco, in which the Greens arc
said to be large holders, and thus not
only obtain q gulf outlet for the Midland,
but form great North and South line. 1t
Is mere speculation. OF course, but good
many Galveston people think there is some
thing in it,

President Green of the Midland route,
accompanied by Captain Andy Faulkner,
arrived In his special car from Galveston
yesterday afternoon, and after spending The
hight mere Will leave on the southern Ia
cific this morning for New Orleans.
While in the Island City Mr.. Green went
the route that great many other railroad
officials have-to the jettles-and viewed
the deep water facilities that port affords.
The jetties are great Improvement

to a Post reporter while standing at the
depot yesterday. Il examined them good
and must say they 30 far beyond anything
had expected. l was royalty treated ia
Galveston, and can say that my visit has
been one of the most pleasant since came
TO the coast country"
Last night the car was turned and placed
on the spur above the Grand Central depot,
where it remained for the night. Just be-
fore the change was made Mr. Green re-
marked: 81 am going TO New Orleans to-
morrow, and want the observation end OF

Leard so much about the Southern Pa

After this remark Captain Faulkner sug
gested that Mr.. Green had been devotins
considerable time to a grammar and loAi-
con In order that he might brush up his
French and appear as familiar TO the deni-
zens over there as one direct from the
salons Of gay Paris 10 that as 1t may
Mr.. Green is said to be quite clever with
French conjugations and verbs, but the
only difficulty he encounters is the pro-
nunciaton.
