FUTURE RATLRoAp BUILDING

IFrom the Los Angeles Express.1
A broad view of the railroad situa-
ton in the western half of the United
States discloses a condition of affairs
which supplies all that can be reasona-
bly, asked for the imaginative person
who Graves excitement and appreciates
the romantic.
Railroad interests have recently dis
covered that the Pacific coast is a sort
Of goal. a modern Rome. to which all
roads should lead. At this stage Of the
consolidation business certain eastern
systems have been forehanded enough
to get in on the ground floor and secure
control Of the present existing gateways
to the coast. With this advantage these
fortunate railroad systems have been
able to apply the term transcontinentai
TO themselves, the practical effect Of
which is that they do not have to divide
Pacific coast business with a lot Of east
ern lines which do not belong to their
families
This latest deal has carried conviction
70 the minds of some of the unattached
lines. notably the Rock Island and Mis-
souri, Pacific. that their hands consist OF
cards with small spots on them. The
former IS struggling westward through
Texas. while the latter finds itself at FL
Faso. and. through the recent acquisi-
ton Of Rio Grande roads, at Salt Lake.
The Santa Fe is the only remaining
free lance and there is a growing belief
that 1t is spoken for as a part of a sure
enough transcOntinental system The
Burlington has apparently joined the
forces OF the ruler Of the northern dfvis-
Jon Of Pacific coast roads, and this step
has been quite necessary to preserve
that peculiar thing which nations call
the balance of power The Hill inter-
ests have the two great northern lines
and the Hartman syndicate also has
two, one In the center and one at the
south But the railroad map discloses
the fact that the Union Pacific has a
line or to the northwest which invades
the domain of Hill. In order to preserve
symmetry both in maps and business 1t
~ quite necessary for Hill to inaugurata
an invasion to the southwest In this
contamination the Burlington and the
Clark road are entitled to consideration.
Should the Harrimans parallel the Salt
Lake-Los Angeles line the symmetry
will be somewhat destroyed unless the
Burlington parallels the Oregon Short
Line to the northwest.
But the unattached lines previously
referred to are yet to be considered.
Neither of these two lines is likely 10
struggle for an outlet to the northwest
and neither is likely to attempt to reach
tidewater at San Francisco. Geograph-
ically the latter city seems likely to re-
main a. t.one-road" town with reference
90 the east.

FLAG OF TEXAS
Presented to the President by
Widow Of the Last President.

Brennan, Tex, May 3.-The arrival of
the presidential train at Houston was
heralded with salute of a volley from
a battery on the bank of the Buffalo
bayou All business had been suspend
ed in Houston and the surrounding
country seemed to have emptied itself
into the city. An elaborate programme
was crowded into less than two hours.
The Houston light guards, which acted
as guard of honor for jeff Davis on his
visit here in 1875.and a company Of cow
boy rangers escorted the party in car
riages through the decorated city For
several blocks the parade moved be-
tween lines of school children who
waved flags and strewed the presidents
path with flowers. Before a big and en-
thusiastic audience at the Auditorium
Mr.. Mckinley was formally welcomed
by the governor. and made a happy re-
Spouse. Members of the cabinet also
spoke briefly.
At the conclusion of the speeches a
touching incident occurred. A feeble old
lady came forward and presented Mr..
Mckinley with small silk flag of the
Lone Star state. She was the widow OF
Arson Jones' the last president of the
Republic of Texas. The wood of the
staff was from the old capitol building
at Columbia
While at Houston the president shook
hands with on old army cOnrade, J. U.
Fellows who was sergeant in the
Third Ohio when the president was
private in the same regiment. Mr. Eel
lows was exceedingly proud of the fact
that he had at one time outranked the
chief magistrate.
At Prairie some miles beyond Houston
where the state normal and industrial
school (colored) is located a stop was
made to permit the president to receive
the greetings of the students and direc-
tors The exercises took place at
cross road on the open prairie. The
school buildings were discernable on the
horizon Thousands of western range
horses and every kind of nondescript We
hicles which had been used to bring the
people, formed a novel picture. The
president made an earnest speech ad-
students.

SLUMP IN PRICES
Drawing in of Credits Causes q
Decline in Stocks.

New York. May s.-The effect Of
drawing in of credits on an over
extended speculation was shown by a
slump in the stock market this after
noon I n the effort to liquidate prices
broke violently throughout the list, with
the largest effect naturally in those
stocks in which the mad rush to buy
had centered for the last few days. As
the last candidate for this kind of IA
vor, Atchison led the van. During this
morning there was a halcyon prospect
of indefinite prices in this stock and
hordes of spectators were using all the
monye they could borrow to buy the
stock on a margin. The way in which
AtchisOn and other stocks mounted sky
ward relieved the apprehension remain
ing from the rather reactionary ten
dency of yesterdays market, and con-
fdence came back to the spectators
that the furry was over.
TOday's dealing on exchange was the
second in magnitude only to Tuesday
