MORE TALK OF BIG POOL
Said That Gigantic Scheme VIII Be
Acted Upon June 8.

Chicago. Nav 19.@The announcement
that the proposed gigantic secret rail-
way pool had received fresh impetus and
would be finally acted upon at the meet
ing of the Eastern and Western rail-
road presidents to be held in New York
on June 8 has caused considerable Ak
element among freight and passenger
officials and the employees of the traffic
departments whose position would be
endangered by the contamination OF the
pooling scheme
While the principal object of forming
such pool is to prevent railroad wars
and secure the maintenance of rates,
it is known TO be the intention also to
bring about a large saving Of operating
expenses by establishing joint freight
and ticket offices, abOlishing all minor
traffic associations. consolidating rast
freight lines, and dispensing with a large
number of travelling agents and other
officials and employees whose duty 1t is
to drum up business
The big financial interests in the east
that control most OF the roads ana the
presidents have been at work for some
time to bring about he formation Of
this combine. and 1t IS stated mat eV-
cry important railroad in this country,

and efforts are being made to bring it
into harmony with the other lines on
the pooling question.

$4,000 COLORADO TOURISTS.
1t Is Expected That This Number
Will Take Advantage of Rates.

Denver. May 19-Commissioner c. L.
wellington of the Denver joint railroad
agencies has returned from his trip TO
Chicago, where he went TO look after
summer tourist plans. Mr. Wellington
lima that there will be no less than
Is. 900 tourists in Colorado this season,
and he is inclined to believe there viii be
many more
Il have purchased 25.e60 envelopes to
be used in the preservation of the tourist
tickets while they are in our possession"
said the commissioner. Tt is ~robable
We will have to purchase 5000 more at
least. Last veal 1900 envelopes were
bought and somewhat less than that num-
Der was used"
Judging by the figures on envelopes
given by Mr. Wellington the number Of
tourists is apt to be 50 per cent greater
this year than last. The summer of 1888
held the greatest tourist record after the
knight Templar concIave of 1892

Mexican Congress Honors Kansas

of Terminal

In speaking Of A E. StilIwelI's new
railroad the Chihuahua, Mexico, Enter
prise says:
In an interview in an Ell Paso paper
asst week. Mr.. W. w. Sylvester of St
Louis was reported as saying that he
was not aware that a town by the name
of TopOlObampO would be the name of
the Mexican terminal of the road.
This can probably be explained by the
fact that the Mexican congress of which
both Senior Elizaga and Senior Fernan-
DEE are members, has by an act changed
the name of Top0lobampO to Port Still

Mr.. Stillwell in furthering an enterprise
