since operation began on the Kansas
and Oklahoma division a few days ago
has been highly satisfactory to the
management, and large quantities OF
freight are still awaiting shipment.
Track laying has been temporarily sus-
pended, pending the completion OF the
bridge over the Big Sandy, which work
is delayed by the non-arrfval of long
piling for the $50 feet In the center.
These have been shipped and are due
to arrive any day, after which the work
will be pushed, material being now on
the ground for the completion Of the
road to Carmen.
The line of the Orient east out of
Chihuahua, Mexico, has been in opera
ton for some time, and track laying is
now in progress from Port Stilwell
east, where the line will soon be put
in operation. Track laying will con-
tinue in four places, east of Port Still
well, east of Chihuahua, north of Har-
per, Kas-, and south of Wa1dron, o. T.
Grading is under way at numerous
other points, but rails will not be laid
there until next year.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.
Western Roads Talking of Stopping
the Exchange of Passes.

If present plans are carried out there
will be no interchange of passes among
western roads during 1893. The meeting
of the pass committee representing all
western lines has been set, for early
October, and the matter is already re-
ceiving considerable discussion. Until
last year the pass agreements have
been largely farcical, but it is expected
this year that the agreement, which has
been kept only by trunk lines, will be
generally in force. ]. v. Mahoney,
chairman of the western trunk line
committee, has been made chairman of
the pass committee in place of George
w. Ristine. Last year roads in the var
ious associations agreed not to inter-
change passes, and the agreement fell
through before it was put into effect.
Finally the Central Passenger asSocia-
ton lines and the trunk line entered
into the agreement, which the former
were unable to keep. 1t was stated that
this was largely due to the fact that
the Wabash extends in eastern as well
as western territory, and that it could
not have one rule over a portion of it's
lines and another over other portions.
What railroad managers would like to
do is to place TRANSFORMATION on a pure
ly commercial basis. but this will never
be done until they obtain the nerve to
defy the politicians and through them
adverse legislation.

will be in the composite library, smok-
ing and buffet car. Another library OF
late and popular books will be in the
parlor of the observation car, thus hav-
ing two libraries on each train.
A feature that will prove of value to
the business man will be the prepara-
ton of the market and stock reports
which will be made and daily furnished
for those on each train at various hours
of the day.
Another thing which will prove at
tractive and which has heretofore been
unknown on any of the trains running
west of Chicago is the bath room ia
cilities. A barber shop will also be a
feature of each train.
The equipment of each train will con-
SiSt of a special mail car, a composite
car, dining car which will be carried
the entire distance of the trip, stand
ard 12-section double drawing room
sleepers, one compartment sleeper and
one 10-section observation sleeper, which
will have in addition to the observation
parlor, an enclosed wide observation
platform in the rear.
Another feature that will prove at
tractive will be the serving of after
dinner coffee at the pleasure of the pas
sengers in either the composite or OBJ
servation car.
Only the regular fares will be charg-
ed. However the train will not be al
lowed to the use of those carrying pass
es The time which the train will make,
it is hoped will be considerably less
than that of any present schedule.
The only thing lacking for this new
service now is an appropriate name for
the train. Consequently the cash prize
of 500 is offered for the best suggestion
In suggesting a name originality should
take all precedence. 1t must not be
patterned after the name of any other
train. 1t should at the same time be
peculiarly significant of the route, the
destination, the service and equipment

ELECTRIC RAILWAY TRAINS.
New York Central to Run Them Into
New York.

The decision of the New York Central
to use electricity instead of steam on
all trains in and out of New York city
a distance of thirty miles from the sta
ton has caused considerable discussion
regarding the probability of the sup
planting OF steam by eiectTlclsy on t Ia,7
vice president, was asked what he
thought about this question, and re-
piled: No man can tell about that for
certain. The officials of the New York
Central have determined in their own
minds that electricity will do the work
they have planned for it. If it does so,
it is natural to ask, Why not use it
economy which such a change would
bring would not warrant the expendi-
ture. We have not decided what kind
of a system we shall use, whether third
rail or otherwise. The first installation
will be 100000 horsepower, and will cost
about $4,000, OOO.''
