G. r. HUDsON's PLEA.
Former Topeka Man Before Texas
Board of Commissioners.

Austin. Tex, May &c. r. Hud-
son. president of the San Antonio &
Aransas Pass railway, had long con-
ference with the railroad commission
relative to certain features of the
compromise agreement of the san
Antonio & Arkansas Pass with the
commission, which resulted in the
proceedings against that company be
ing held in allegiance Under the
terms of that agreement the San An
tonic & Arkansas Pass was to be ex-
tended to Brownsville within a stip-
1lated time and 100000 of stock
and about $1,452, 900 of bonds We're
to be Cancelled. 1t is said that the
company desires to use the tracks of
the st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
into Brownsville. the surmise being
that the YOakum syndicate has OBJ
tanned control of the San Antoine &
Arkansas Pass. The latter road will
not be extended further than Fall
furias, fifty miles south of Alice It
is said that the company wants the
commission to grant it authority to
apply a large part of the bonds which
were to be Cancelled on this new fifty
mile extension, and that it also asks
that its obligation to build its own
road into Brownsville be abrogated.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Rock Island May Buy New Rail-
roads.
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
Said to Be Wanted.
WILL FIGHT GOULD.
Rock Island Will Resist Santa
Fe Central Deal.
Afraid of Parallel Line into
Ell PasO.
WILL FIGHT GOULD.

Austin, Texas, May lett is learned
on the most trustworthy authority,
that two important announcements of
the enlargement of the Rock Island
Frisco system in the southwest will be
made in the next few weeks, as soon as
the final details of thG transactions can
be finished. One will be the acquisition
of the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass,
and the other the acquisition of the
FL Paso and Southwestern. The San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass is to be OPP
Grated as a part of the st. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico system, in
which 3. T. Yoakum, chairman of the
executive board of the Frisco, is large
~ interested, and the FL Paso and
southwestern Will be operated in con-
nection with the Ell Paso line of the
Rock Island.
The two properties will add more
than 1900 miles of road to the Rock Is
land-FT1ScO system. The FL PaSO and
Southwestern will be extended west to
San Diego, Cal 1t is built across the
Great Divide on a grade of less than I
per cent 1t has recently been inspect
ed by President LOree and a party Of
Rock Island officials.
WILL RESIST GOULD PLANS.
New York, May 16.-The Denver and Rio
Grande railroad, according to a report
current here today, may buy the Santa
F'e Central and extend it from Santa Fe
to FL Paso. The Santa Fe Central now
extends to Terrence, a point on the Rock
Island system. Surveyors believed to be
in the Gould interests are at work be-
tween Terrence and FL Paso. Should the
Goulds buy the Santa Fe Central and ex-
tend it along the lines now talked of, the
Denver and Rio Grande system would
practically parallel the Rock Island and
the Santa Fe into FL Paso.
1t IS stated that the Rock Island people
are awake to the situation and that Wig
orous resistance will be made from that
quarter to the absorption of the Santa F'e
Central by the Goulds. The Santa fe
Central is now largely owned by Pitts
burg interests. Arthur T. Kennedy is
chairman OF the board. W. H. Andrews
of Santa Fe is president, and Francis J.
Torrance of Pittsburg is first vice presi-
dent. The offices of secretary and treas
urer of this road are both in Pittsburg
Persons familiar with the situation assert
that if the Goulds want to buy the prop
erty they will have to bid for it against
the Rock Island and that the present own-
ers are not disposed to let it go cheaply.
George J. Gould, it is affirmed, approves
of Gen. Palmer's plan of extension to f.
Paso, and if he can secure the Santa Fe
Central he viii build new line, change
the Rio Grande Southern to a standard
gauge and give the Denver and Rio
Cirande system a broad gauge road from
| Denver to FL PaSO.

SHOOTING INSIDE sTOCKADE.
Men Heard Mysterious Sounds at San
BernardinO Shops.


Last night shooting was heard
within the stOckade at IL o'clock.
shortly after the arrival of three car
loads of men within the enclosure.
A man climbed to the top of a
windmill just outside the works and
saw all of the cars lighted up He
could not distinguish what was going
on because of the darkness. but he
heard someone grooming The shoot
ing took place within the stockade
and near the master mechanics
Office.
Soon afterwards a number of men
were seen making towards the lower
end of the shop yards with their lug
gage on their backs.
The local shops have four boiler
makers at work. The men are nom
union and have been at work in the
local shops for years. They have re-
fused to join the union and did not
walk out when the call came yester-
day morning.
These four men will be able to take
care Of the work in the round-house
for several months, but when the en-
gines begin to leak the Santa Fe will
probably have considerable trouble in
keeping the rolling stock moving. At
least that is the opinion of the local
strikers.
Last night a large number of boiler
makers, who have been staying at
Catalina. were taken into the stock
ade. and this morning were put to
work. It is reported that the black
smiths will be brought in tomorrow

MONEY FOR TRACK LAYING.
Arthur StiIwen Returns From a Sue
cessfuI Financial Excursion.

Arthur Stilwen Returns From a Sue
cessfuI Financial Excursion.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 16.-A E. Still
we'll, president of the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient railroad, has returned
to Kansas City after one of his most
successful trips in the interest of his
road. He and Edward Dickinson, gen
eral manage of the Orient, have been
in the east for about two months, Sc
curing money on Orient bonds, and
have been in Chicago for the past few
days. Enough funds are now being
poured into the Orient Golfers to build
many miles of track, and the work of
extension will be rushed without de-
lay.
Mr. StiIwen has arranged for a trip
to Mexico May %, when he will take
party of capitalists over the Orient pro-
perty.
Most of these have taken stock in
the Orient, and others contemplate do
ing so. A special train of three cars
will carry the party to Mexico. Mr..
Stflweu viii be the host in one of
them, Mr.. Dickinson will hold forth in
another and Vice President Dickinson
will do the honors in the third.
On this visit Mr.. Stilwell viii receive
a subsidy OF $500 600 for the last 100
kiIometers of track laid in Mexico. The
federal government of Mexico pays
$700,0 900 subsidy for each 100 kilOmeters,
or 60 miles, of track finished there, and
the state in which the road is built
for which the money is to be paid has
been laid for about three months, but
on account of the red tape through
which it all has to go. the subsidy is
always late in being paid. The Orient
has $50 miles of track already laid in
Mexico, and the work of extension is
being carried on without a halt.
Two things have been retarding the
growth of the Orient lines-bad wealth
er and the lack of money for track lay
ing.
1--WE have secured all the right of
way through Kansas City, Kan, and
have made all arrangements for enter
ing this city" said Vice President Syl-
vester yesterday, but between here
and Emporia the line our road Will take
has not been definitely decided upon
There are many things to consider, and
there is no use buying that right of
way at present anyhow, but the Orient
will wait until it knows just what is
the best and most practicable route.
'At present it is not known whether
the Orient will pass through Lawrence,
Kan. 1t is most likely that it will go
about eight miles east of there. The
place where the Kaw river will be
crossed is another question yet to be
decided. If we take one of the routes
proposed, our tracks will have to cross
those of the Santa Fe and Union Pa
cific, but in that case they would cross
on an overhead structure.
"All that is being worked out, how
ever, and by the time the trackmen are
ready to work this side of EmpOria
have no doubt the right of way will be
settled satisfa ctOrily."

ADOPTS DRASTIC MEASURES.
NJ, X. 4 Il. Reduces Working Time OF
Shopmen at Parsons.

oAOlAtACn at 4dESoAAS.
Parsons, Kan, May 16.-The an
nouncement is made from the Katy Of
fees that the working hours Of all the
men employed in the car repairing de-
partment would be cut to eight hours
per day and that the working time
would be kept within the limit Of Eve
days a week. This change is effective
all over the system Heretofore, the
men in this department, have been
working ten hours six and seven days
per week and the cut will work a hard
ship that many cannot stand.
The company has not the work for
the men to do and not being DESTROYS
of discharging any of them takes this
means to give them all a fair show
Many of them feel, judging from ex-
pressions heard today, that they can
not suffer the cut and it is very prob
able that a number will resign and
seek other employment. Down at Den
ison, there is the next thing to shut
out The car barns have been closed,
although it is believed that this viii be
only temporary
There seems to be a feeling in most
of the departments of the Katy here.
The coal beavers here cut in wages
has been closely followed by a rumor
to the effect that all the employees at
the roundhouse are to be cut to 81. > per
day, but this runor so far has not been
verified.
