RUMOR OF ALLIANCE CONFIRMED
The statement in New York yester-
day of an alliance between the Bal
timore and Ohio and the Seabonrd Air
Line for through line from that city
to Tampa, Florida Is pretty we'll CON
firmed by those in position to be well
informed. The Scaboard Air Line II Is
believed, has long entertained this idea.
and ever since it has come under the
management of the capitalists mt the
head OF whom is Mr.. John Shelton VIII
!iams. negotiations 1t is said. have been
In progress to consummate this proieci.
In order to carry out this alliance II
would be necessary TO have the Rich
mond. fredericksburg and Potomac.
which runs from this city to Quantico,
point near Washington About one
third OF the stock of this company is
owned by the State Of Virginia. Should
this arrangement be entered into IL is
quite certain determined effort will be
made to build an opposition line be-
tween here and Washington. The inter-
est of the State IN the Richmond, Fred
erickshurg and Potomac has always
heretofore stood in the way OF any ut;
tennis In that direction and may still
continue to do so.

Mr.. Martins opponent Is an organizer
equal to some Of the best Of them rs
he showed in his fight with Mr. Ely

BY the way, the Tyler people are tho
most cordial supporters now that Mr.
Ellyson has. and are ready to give him
their ala for anything 10 which he
may aspirc--exccpt, OF course, the Sen.
atorship.
One Of those closest to Tyler and who
is in position 20 be more thoroughly
Informed Of his Wishes than any ono
else. discussed with me to-day the 10
sues of the coming campaign. AS in
dicated in this correspondence yestcr-
day. In this gentleman's opinion. the Is
sues will he the question Of nominating
Senators by the people. opposition to
growing disposition Of corporatio to
secure enlarged powers and cleaner
