RAILROAD WORLD.

J. c. Conn. travelling passenger agent quarters in Chattanooga, was in Birming- ham yesterday.
 H. c. Holabird, general agent of the passenger department of the Erie road, with headquarters in Cincinnati, and Charles w. Petit, travelling passenger agent of the same road, with headquar- ters in Nashville, spent yesterday in Bir- mingham looking after prospective tour ists to Chautauqua Lake this season.
 A Galveston dispatch to the Globe-Dem- ocrat says:
 President Yoakum of the Frisco and party of friends spent today in Galveston, and left this afternoon for New Orleans. The day was spent here inspecting the docks and railroad terminals and im- provements in the harbor. Asked about the report that he would be the executive head of the Rock Island MT. Yoakum replied that he is president of the Frisco. and could not deal in futures in which he may be concerned. From his talk in conference with representative men of this port and city today. the inference Is drawn that MT. Yoakum will ultimately be at the head of the Rock Island. His inspection was thorough, and, while he refused to be interviewed on railroad mat ters, certain remarks made to those with whom he conferred point to future exten- sions to Galveston. It is learned that the Rock Island proposes building line from Houston to Galveston. and improving it's bay front property here by building exten- sive docks.
