INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY.
Commission Appointed in 1890 viii
Soon Make It's Report.

New York, Jan. A Herald Wash
ington special says:
The international railway commits
sion appointed in 1890 to select a route
for a railway line connecting the Unit
ed States with the republics of Central
and South America, is now preparing
its final report to the governments in
terested.
A preliminary report was submitted
three years ago, but the data then at
hand was insufficient and did not ade-
quately describe the details of the
proposed enterprise. The final report
will show the entire practica bility of
by all the governments south of the
United States in the proposed railway.
Several of the governments have al
ready adopted the route laid down by
engineers eppointed by the commission
to make the survey, and Guatemala is
engaged in carrying out the recon-
mendations of the commission.
The report will be made by represen-
tatives of the United States, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and Para
quay.
The United States is connected with
the Mexican system on the Texas
frontier The railway line in Mexico
extends to the Guatemalan frontier,
where the commission commenced its
survey work Salvador, HoIsluras
Nicaragua. Costa Rica, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru and Chile, when it con-
verges to the east.
A small portion of the line is already
built. and several of the governments
are making concessions to private en-
terprises to extend the rail commu-
nication. The commission will esti-
mate in its report that about 4,500
miles of railroad will have to be con-
structed. Only a few hundred miles
will have to be built by the Chilean
government in order to connect a term
mus of her system with the proposed
line.
Some trouble is being experienced
in estimating the total cost of the line
on account of the fact that in some
sections the cost will be $4,000 per mile
and in others it will reach 500, 600. One
of the engineers has estimated the
cost of the line across Ecuador at
more than $1S,000.0 000 and the estimate
for Peru is about $40, 100000.

non Which Frightened People-It
Was Followed by a Fierce Gale.

New Orleans, Jan. 3.-An extraOrdin-
ary celestial phenomenon was visible
here about o'clock this morning.
Thick. heavy clouds were rolling and
suddenly the sky was overcast with a
peculiar pinkness and the rays re-
fected gave the earth the appearance
of being on fire. The remarkable dis
play lasted perhaps ten minutes. but
it was startling during its brief eX-
istence. The weather bureau explains
that it was the suns rays reflected
through a certain cloud. 1t was fol-
lowed by a fierce gale along the lake
front. Persons residing at West End
declare that in II years they have not
witnessed such a storm. The people
there were much frightened. The
waters Of Lake Ponchartrain were
driven in and Overflowed Spanish Fort
and all the roads leading from the
city to the lake, in some places reach
ing a depth of three feet. Nothing
has been heard from Vaudeville and
places on the other side of the lake.
