IT'S ROCK ISLAND.
CONTINUED from First Page.1

Mr.. Robinson was informed today by
a reporter for the State Journal of the
deal announced in today's Journal by
which the Rock Island gets possession
Of the St Louis, Kansas City & South
ern railway, giving it a st. Louis ter
minal Mr.. Robinson expressed his sat
isfaction that the deal had been con-
summated in this manner.
1T will give the Rock Island a very
good line, and viii make it of increased
Importance as a connection of the Mex
lean Central The Rock Islands line t9
Ell Paso is proving to be a great benefit
for the Mexican Central With the St.
Louis connection, the Rock Island is N
still better position to secure business
out of El Paso from our line. The San
ia F'e has, according to the newspapers,
been figuring some in this ST. Louis
matter, but / know nothing about the
truths of the reports. The Santa Fe got
out of St. Louis once. and whether it
wants to get in again IS question.
President Robinson was asked as to
what progress the Orient railroad seems
to be making.
The Orient seems to be doing con-
siderable work in the newspapers" COM
mented Mr.. Robinson, but as to wheth-
er or not it is doing anything on the
ground, / can't say I really have not
been keeping track of the Orient's
moves
Asked as to what the Mexican Central
is doing in the way of improvements
said: We viii soon commence work on
the 200 mile extension of the road from
Torreon to Trevenio. The latter point is
near Monterey This is the most i'm
pOrtant improvement which is now in
sight"
What possibility is there that the
annual stockholders meeting will de-
velop that a change of ownership in the
Mexican Central has taken place or is
likely to take placer" was asked.
Il do not think that there is any Hkeli-
hood that any change in ownership will
take place. There have not been any ru-
business of the stockholders meeting Will
be simply the election of directors There
are not likely to be any changes The
headquarters of the road will soon be
moved to ST Louis. but the annual meet

Rome. April s0.-The officers of the
U. S. cruiser Chicago who were arrest
ed at Venice remain in prison there.
An application for their discharge has
been rejected. The Italian law does not
allow the court to grant pardon in

New York, April 3o-The commander
of the cruiser Chicago at Venice contin-
ues to keep all his men on board, to
avoid further trouble, says a Rome dis
patch to the Tribune. The officers who
are sentenced to imprisonment for dis
orderly conduct are being treated with
a certain regard but with prison rules.
1t seems that American officers have
never been arrested abroad except years
ago. in Brazil, when an officer shot
deserter. Through the good offices of
Washington, Dom Pedro released him.
The question now is whether the officers
may be allowed 10 ask pardon of the
king, or whether the request must go
through the embassy.
The cruiser will sail on Friday for
Trieste.
