fIeHT TO CONTROL
MEXICAN RAILWAYS.
Frisco and Gould Interests Said to
Be Conducting Rival NegO-
tiatiOns for Feeders.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

fh1f Cok~At sT E<Ni<HA&
New York. Aug. s.-Important negotia-
tons affecting the Mexican railroads are
under way which are expected to produce
radical changes in their relations with the
connecting railroads Of the United States
These facts were definitely learned to-day:
Speyer 4 Co.. who recently bought con-
troll Of the Mexican National, have ac-
ouired the Huntington interests in the Mex
lean International Railroad. which. some
assert. give Speyer q Co. control Of the
latter railroad.
Tho 81. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
controls the Mexican Central. and 1t is pos
sible that at an early date the latter may
become a part of the Frisco system.
According to Boston advices. the pool
which acquired the Mexican Central-which
was supposed to represent the Frisco. Rock
Island, Atchison and Gould interests COM
bined but which now turns out to be chief
ly a Frisco pool-had It's eye on the Mex
lean international for a short line to the
City Of Mexico.
II speyer & Cn. have not secured a ma
jority Of Mexican international securities.
there may yet be sharp competition before
the ownership Is finally determined. The
disclosure Of the fact that the Frisco man
agement has such pretentious plans lends
new importance TO developments in Mexico.
At present there Is no indication that the
Speyer people are working in harmony with
the Frisco. 1t Is quite likely each rival
faction is desirous of controlling the Mexi-
can International
The report in Wall street to-day that a
change in the control of the Mexican Inter-
national Railroad has taken place which
would be favorable to the extension Of
Missouri Pacific business caused Missouri
Pacific to rise SIS points. Parties who
should know said that the Mexican Ma
tional had obtained a controlling interest In
the Mexican international. and that here
after the two roads would have common in
terests and cease to be rivals as feeders
for American roads
The Mexican National connects at Laredo
with the international and Great Northern.
of which George Gould Is president. As n
connecting road. the International and
Great Northern Is a feeder of the Missouri
Pactfic. of which Mr.. Gould Is also presi-
dent. The relations between the Could
roads and the Mexican National have been
of a kind to make the latter road u feeder
of the Missouri Pacific.
