Rail Substitute for Canals.

'sQuietly, but with much energy,
there is being pushed along by some
English capitalists in southern Mex
leo an enterprise with which they
hope, at least to a certain extent,
to forestall all the interoceanic canal
schemes, declares the Baltimore Sun
in a recently published editorial.
"The project, which is we'll under
way" according to our contemporary,
"involves the rebuilding, in the
most thorough and expensive manner,
of an old railway which shall connect
two Mexican ports, one on the Gulf
of Mexico and the other on the Pacific,
which are less than 200 miles apart,
At Salina Cruz and Coazacoalcos, the
respective termini, immense harbors,
with anchorage accommodations for the
largest vessels, are to be constructed.
The road has been leased for pc
riod of fifty years from the Mexican
government, which also has granted a
concession for especial line of steam
ers in connection with the railway.
The London fnanciers, who are at the
head of the enterprise, have 1000 men
now at work. The road, while only
1872 miles in length, crosses 92Q
bridges, but those in charge claim
that its construction as we'll as that
of the harbors will be finished and
ready for business in from two to
three years. On this basis the Lon
don Mail undertakes to make it ap-
pear that this project for connecting
the gulf by rail with the Pacific is apt
to knox the likelihood for profit out
of any of the camel schemes as COM
mercial investment. The statement as
given is to the effect that the enter.
prise, on an estimated expenditure of
S25, 900, 900. will represent an outlay
only one-eighth as great as either of
the talked-of canals can be built
for, and that their rail route will be
the shorter way from the gulf to the
Pacific port by more than LOCO
miles,
