home from journey, was taken with a Sc

MEXICAN CENTRAL OWNS IT.
Explana ton of O. r. Hudson's Pro-

Galveston, March 22-It is learned
that the San Antonio & Arkansas Pass
road, extending from Houston to San
Antonio, with branch lines diverging
north and south. is owned by the Mex
lean Central railroad company. When
the Southern Pacific. which owned the
Arkansas Pass, was ordered to dispose of
its holdings in the San Antonio & Aran-
sas Pass by the Texas railroad commits
sion it was not known who took in the
property. The Mexican Central placed
G. r. Hudson at the head of the San
Antonio & Arkansas Pass, and it is
learned the transfer Of the San Antonio
& Arkansas Pass from the Southern Pa
cific was made to and in the name of
E. p. Mcintyre, an agent of the Mexican
Central.
The Mexican Central is building to
Matamoras, across the river from
Brownsville, Texas. and the San An
tonic & Arkansas Pass is building to
Brownsville. The completion of the
two links. which will be within year,

line from Houston. Texas. to Mexico
City, and the shortest route to the
Mexican capital by nearly 100 miles.

MIR. BRYAN's RIVAL.

II is altogether probable that Mr.. W..
J. BRYAN will lose the supporter his chief
free-silver organ in the West. Congress
man H~itchcock's newspaper, the Omaha
World Herald, may join the straight
democratic ranks. Thisis the newspaper
which Mr.. BRYAN edited for a shorttlme,
and in which he was financially interested.
Hitchcock is anxious to be Senator, and
his Congressional career is only the first
step in his ambition. Bryanis also to be
a candidate, and the break which has
been impending for so long cannot be
avoided much longer. Richard l..
Metcalfe, the editor Of the paper, remains
loyal to Bryan and Is to /, and he is
preparing to be a delegate-at-large to the
convention. Hitchcock, the chiefowner,
wishes that honor for himself, and if the
two persist, Metcalfe will undoubtedly
leave the World Herald and run a popu-
list paper at Lincoln. He is an able
man and he carries a large support among
the radical silver men. He has stuck
to Bryan from the first. Hitchcock was
formerly an enthusiastic Bryan man, but
his ardor has abated since, at Senator
Hayward's death, Bryan stepped in and
secured the appointment of W. V. Allen
to go back to the Senate for a brief time.
AS he knew Hitchcock wanted the place,
his action was greatly resented by Hitch
cock and his friends. Hitchcock father
was a United States Senator back in tie
70s and the son has always wanted to
occupy the same position. 1t was the
World Herald which discovered Mr..
Bryan in 1890 and brought him out for
Congress. 1t has never wavered in its
%s1rpport for him until lately.
