Regarded With Interest Here.

The announcement from Madrid that the
United States has suggested peace condi-
tions with Spain were received here with
great interest Iris was because the re-
port was regarded a. ..feeler.'' set afioat
with the distinct purpose of developing the
state of public feeling in America, well
as in Europe.
There is no basis of fact for the report
for when the report was exhibited at the
State Department it met with prompt and
unqualified denial at every point. No over
lures have come to the department from
any responsible diplomatic quarter as yet
looking to the contamination of peace
Still. it is known that some of the repre-
sentatives of the European powers here.
realizing the serious inroads that are being
made upon European commerce by the con-
tinuance of hostilities. stand ready at any
moment when the time is suspicious to
sound our government to what condi-
tons might serve as a basis of negotiations
for a brief period.
These diplomats would naturally closely
watch the effect upon the people of the
United States of such a rumor as this
coming from Madrid. and If the general
sentiment seems to incline to the accept
ance of some such conditions they would
be quick to advise their governments, in
the expectation of receiving instructions
to approach the government of the United
States on the subject.
Terms May Tempt Negotiations.
The terms suggested in the Madrid dis
patches seem calculated to tempt that ele-

the impotence of attempting to altogether
restrain the popular desire for a terri

conditions are such as might naturally sug-

for negotiation, although 1t cannot be ex-

A Close Call.

A railroad man who arrived in town
from a visit to Houston yesterday. re-
lates very narrow escape from death
of q 12-year-Old girl at Alpine Sunday
at noon. 1--WE stopped at Alpine for
dinner about l o'clock Sunday after
noon" said he, land our train pulled
into the station alongside of freight
train which was ready to pull out for
the east. a young girl apparently
about II years of age, was standing in
front of the freight train saying good
bye to her sister, who was coming
west. The young girl was so entirely
taken up in the conversation with her
sister that she failed to notice the sp-
proach of the freight train. AS the
engine drew near man who was
standing on the depot plat
form made q rush to save
the girl, but, in grabbing for her,
he in some way or other knocked her
down, and before she could regain her
feet, the pilot of the engine caught her
and was dragging her over the ties.
The girl had sufficient presence of
mind to hold On to the point of the
pilot and was saved from being hor-
ribly mangled by so doing. She was
dragged about 20 feet before the en-
CINE stopped and she was removed
from her perilous position within five
feet of the street crossing, where the
heavy planks between the rails would
have forced her under the engine.
The bystanders were horror stricken.
but she acted cool and collected
throughout the entire occurrence and
was taken from under the pilot appar-
emily unin jured."

DR.. A. Graves, Sr., medical director
for the entire S. p. system, has become
a shining light in the eyes of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Sullivan, of this city. Mr.
Sullivan is in the employ of the G. II.
in the capacity of passenger engineer,
and some time ago his 11-year-old
daughter, Miss May Sullivan, was
stricken with nervous sffliction which
seemed to puzzle several physicians.
The afflictiOn grew worse until the girl
lost her speech and the use of her linn BIS
A friend of the Sullivan family while
on visit to San Antonio recently,
called on DR.. Graves and explained the
condition of the patient the best be
could and the learned gentleman Or
dered the girl sent TO him at once. The
parents were notified of the doctor
request and Miss Sullivan was sent to
him in q helpless condition. 1t took
just one month to place her in sound
condition and she is now with her par
ents in this city in the best of health
and spirits. DR.. Graves has been
with the S. p. company number of
years and ranks high socially as well
as professionally. OF all the heroes OF
the late war no one stands so high in

Railroad Development in Texas.

Texas is apparently the most active
in railroad building of any of the states.
There are at present no less than nine
teen companies building roads. Proml-
nent as any of these is the PecOs Val
ley and Northeastern, which is build
ing an extension from Roswell, N. NJ ,.
to Amarillo, Tex. Another company
which has already completed the por-
tion of it's line through Texas is the Ell
Paso and Northeastern, whose road Is
to run from FL Paso northeast into New
Mexico, 165 miles. The Gulf, Beau
mont and Kansas City has been recent
ly reincOrporated as the Gulf, Beau
mont and Great Northern, and propos-
es to extend it's line north from Kirby
vile about 80 miles to Jefferson.
Work has been progressing steadily
for some months on the Gulf, Brazos
Valley and Pacific, which is projected
to run from Henrietta south through
Mineral Wells and down the Brazos
river to Velasco, in all about
400 miles. A road on which work was
recently begun is the Qua
daloupe Valley, which is to run from
Victoria, Tex, east to Galveston,
about 12O miles, besides branch from
Victoria north about ninety miles, to
Smithville. Another important pro-
ject is the Colorado Valley from Sweet
WdUer SOutASdSt toNdio Oou <AhtOhiO
and Austin. about go miles. The Chi
cago, Rock Island and Texas extern
sion of twenty-eight miles from Bridge
port to Jacksporo is nearly completed,
and is expected to be ready for the
trains next month.
Should all the roads be completed
that are called for in these nineteen
proiects-as they probably will not,
says the Railway Gazette-Texas
would be the richer by some 1900 miles
of road. Even at the present time the
state is third in the number OF miles OF
railroad as compared with other states,
Illinois and Pennsylvania only having
more mileage. On January l, 1897.
Texas had 94s9 miles, and has since
that time added about 160 miles,
so that the present mileage
is not far from $3.50 miles.
While this is larger mileage in pro-
portion to the population than most OF
the neighbOring states. 1T is much
smaller in proportion 10 size, and Tex
os has room yet for large Developments.
In addition to the nineteen roads I'M
der construction, there are fourteen
roads . that have Incorporated
since the Isl of January, either in
Texas or in neigh boring states, to run
into Texas, and there is an equal num-
Der of older projects which indicate
more or less activity. Of course, it
would be an easy matter to include the
$500 miles called for by these
twenty eight companies in the propos-
ed mileage of the state, but the pro
liabilities are that not one mile in 100
will be built in the near future. TAX
ing it altogether, however, Texas bids
fair soon to take the first rank among
the states in railroad mileage, and to
include every mile of road that her
present traffic or that of the near future
will bear.-St. Louis Globe Dem
