dIcate.

San Francisco, July 27.-President Ca
brera of Guatemala, has advised Consul
General Galecio of this port of the sale
of the Guatemalan Central railway to
New York syndicate.
This road was originally planned by
Rufino BarriOs to extend from the city
of Guatemala eastward to Port BarriOs,
where connection can be made with
New Orleans by water.
Practically, when finished, it would
be an extension of the Pacific Improve
ment cOmpany's road which connects
the city of Guatemala with the Pacific
seaboard. There were yet sixty miles
of the road to be completed. There were
three prospective purchasers, one of
them being Q. P. Huntington and the
others two New York syndicates. Mr.
Huntington it is said declined to buy
the road. Which of the two New York
syndicates is the purchaser President
Cabrera does not state in his message.
He, however, informs the consul general
that as a result of the sale exchange in
Guatemala, which recently advanced
to 4.S0 has fallen to 8 80.

result in the care Of the graves Of our
comrades in the Northern States BY

Rev. Taylor Martin, Of Pulaski, Va,
spoke against the adoption Of the re-
port. He said the veterans had moth
ing TO do with any suggestion from the
President and they would never be
placed in the attitude Of being under
obligations to the government that
slew Southern men.
The discussion then grew very bitter
and great confusion followed.
There's TOO much McKinieyism In
it, shouted a veteran from the audi

this. many OF them bitter and sensa-

TO be better maintained than in most
sections, but there have been complaints
OF determinations in some cases in ia
yor of the larger cities and towns, a
discrimination practiced, it is alleged,
by many of the roads, as indicated by
the published tariffs
The commission next Monday will be-
gin in New York an investigation into
the subject of the export rates made
by the various rans-continental lines,
the most discouraging features Of the
present rate situation. Many of the
roads have represented TO the commits
sion that they are under no obligation
to publish the export rates, holding that
the sixth section of the Interstate COM
merce act regarding publication does
not apply to those rates. The commits
sion, however, purposes to contest this
assertion and will make a thorough in
quiry with a view to remedying the de-
moraliZation of rates in which all the
t~anseontinental lines figure. The trou-
BILE is an old one and is due to the COM
petition for business among commits
sion agents of the roads This export
freight Generalization, it is said, is
general, the rates in some casec being
cut so and 100 per cent below domestic
rates.
