SOUTHWESTERN DEAL.
Progress Being Made in the ConSoli-
dation Of Railroads.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE Herald
says:
1t can be definitely stated that fur
ther progress has been made In the
Southwestern railroad deal" which is
being engineered by the Standard Oil
Gould Hartman interests. Just what
properties are to be included in this
new consolidation OF railroads cannot be
accurately stated. but the prospective
purchaser Of the Mexican Central is,
or is to be. the St Louis Il san Fran
cicso Railroad Company, and shrewd
railway men say that IL the Frisco has
bought the Central then some one has
bought the Frisco. The strength and
activity of Mexican Central issues
clearly indicate a purchase for some
private interests.
From one of the very highest banking
authoritias the information is obtained
that eventually the St Louis & san
Francisco will .urn up as owner OF the
property. When asked il the st. louis
& San Francisco was not planning an
extension into Mexico. President Yoa-
KUN Of the road said:
Yes. We are to build an extension
toward Mexico" Mr.. Yoakum said that
the Frisco road had not bought the
Mexican Central but when asked II It
was not the intention Of the Frisco in
terests TO take over that property. he
said that he could not tell what might
happen in the future. Railroad men
who have heard the report say without
execution that IL the Frisco has ac-
quired or is 10 acquire the Mexican
Central. then some greater power has
acquired the Frisco. The concensus OF
oDinion is that any such purchase would
logically be by the Gould interests which.
despite its inactivity until recently. is
still the dominant railway power in the
Southwest.
The reason advanced for saying that
the Frisco is not alone in the matter
Is that the new construction 10 connect
the Frisco. either from Paris. Tex. or
Oklahoma. its most western and south
western termini. with the Mexican Cen
tral at FL Paso, is too extensive for
that company Ia undertake single
handed.
Operating in harmony with the Gould
roads the extension required 10 make
the connection would be far less con-
siderable and then. too the harmony Of
interest in the Southwest would be bet
ter conserved.

President Hill Will Ship It to Oriental
Markets over His Lines.

CHICAGO. April 17.-speaklng Of the
burlington. Great Northern and North
ern Pacific deal. the Record Herald
says
What j. ]. Hill. president Of the
Great Northern. wants Of the Burling-
ton system Is not an outlet to Chicago
as a link in an eastern line for the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
but chiefly a connection with st. Louis
and Kansas City. He wants to reach
the cotton of the South for transporta-
ton over the Great Northern and Nor
thern Pacific and his steamships now
building. TO Oriental markets.
1T is no part Of his purpose. It Is
declared Mr. Hill said. to use the Bur
lington as an exhaustive outlet for the
two Pacific roads to Chicago On the
contrary, all the six Chicago roads
which bring business to the Great Nor
then and Northern Pacific will have
their fair share Of the traffic as now.
1t is understood that st. Paul is to be
the central headquarters Of the organ
ization.
