Advices from New Orleans say it Is
learned on authority that the Frisco has by
no means given up its plan Of constructing
terminals into the Crescent City OF building
a line through Arkansas and Louisiana, by
which it can reach New Orleans over Its

L. is stated that while the Frisco for the
present Will not build its line, and may, for
temporary convenience, make a track ar
rangement with another line 10 New Or

ROSEBERY DEMANDS OUTLINE
OF THE TARIFF INQUIRY.
President of Council Explains That
Government IL Not Quarfel-
Ing With Chamberlain.

London, July 2.-Lord Rosebery in the
House of Lords this afternoon renewed the
debate on the tariff propositions. making a
further request for Information regarding
the Cabinets plans.
In the course of long speech he ridi-
culed Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's pro-
gramme, and said he did not believe the
Government intended TO prosecute an in
quiry into the matter.
The allegations that such an inquiry was
being made were, said Lord Rosebery,
merely cloak to screen the irreconciliable
differences between the Colonial Secretary
and the other members of the Cabinet, and
he demanded to know whether the inquiry
would be definite and organized, whether 1t
would be individual or collective and iwheth-
er the results would be published.
The Duke Of Devonshire, Lord President
of the Council. said 1t was impossible now
to give the exact scope of the inquiry. Sew
eral heads had been suggested by Mr..
Chamberlain and Mr.. Balfour. The Govern
ment had determined that the inquiry
should be full and satisfactory.
His Lordship declined to enter further up;
on the subject without more explicit and
longer notice than Lord Hosebery had seer
fit to give in precipitating to-day's discus
sion. He could say tina. the position of the
Government at present was somewhat diff
ferent from that of Mr.. Chamberlain's. but
they did not conflict The whole Cabinet
had agreed that the time was ripe for ar
investigation of tbe possibilities of a closer
fiscal union with the colonies.
