From Mayaguez, one off the best cities

letter about gambling We have annexed
a large sporting population. The Porto
Ricans surpass the brokers of Wall street
as bettors. Every city and every village
has it's games of chance, and the children
begin gambling as soon as they are old
enough to talk. The little ones pitch cop

has not his centavo to risk is out of the

now supplied in the elaborate report of
the intercontinental railway commission,
which in novelty, magnitude, and inter-
est outriYals everything of its kind
heretofore attempted since the great
Pacific railway survey of 1885, which
created so memorable an epoch in rail-
road building in the United States. This
interCOntinental railway commission, a
pan-American organization that grew
out of Mr.. Blaine's pan-American con-
ference of 1885, was formed under Presi-
dent HarrisOns administration, back in
$780, and sent out three surveying par
ties in April, 1891. The last OF these
corps returned from the field in July,
1888, and the time intervening since then
it seems a long time-has been occu-
pied in the unavoidably slow reduction
of field notes and drawing, the prepa-
ration of maps, and the careful SUPER
vision of the report through the press.
The commissions report, now published
in seven large quarto volumes, Demon
strates conclusively that a longitudinal
railway, following the axis of the Cor
dilleras and reaching from the lower
border of Mexico down to Cuzco, the
ancient capital Of Peru, and connecting
there with a road to Buenos Ayres, is
quite practicable, and that as a mere
piece of engineering it presents no in
surmOuntable difficulties but can be
constructed not only without excessive
outlay but really at a moderate aver
age cost per mile. The estimate for pre-
pairing the roadbed to receive the
rails-including grading, cutting, tunnels,
masonry, and bridges-is $174, 290, 81. The
gr4& er part of this cost would be en-
countered in the Andrean regions of
Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, where the
mileage, covering 3646 miles, would cost
$126,3G9 ,425, whereas the estimated cost of
building all other sections of the trunk
line is only $47,929,S46 But it should be
understood that the survey was simply
a preliminary and tentative railway
reconnaissance, and many of the details
ofsroute and expense are subject to
revision and modification in case the
plan should ever be taken up for eKecu-
ton.
AN ELABORATE PROSPECTUS
Popular interest is apt to be drawn
