realized. 1t stands the highest for its won

taxpayers object to paying the run

City of Mexico, Dec. 15.-The details
of the railway merger. by which the
government takes control of all the i'm
pOrtant lines in the republic, are now
known. By the terms of the contract
the government secures absolute con-
troll of the Mexican Central, the Nat
iOnal the International, the Interocean-
ic and the HidaIgo and Northeastern,
all which will be merged into one
great railroad system. The govern
ment also comes into control of the
Texas Mexican, a railroad at Laredo,
Texas, which is owned by the National!
The system, with extensions which
are rapidly nearing completion, will
aggregate about 10000 miles.
The Tehuantepec National and the
Vera Cruz and Pacific, two other rail
roads will continue to be operated as

company will issue its securities of

company will acquire all the physical
property and concessions held by the
old companies. 1t is intended to Gre
ate a board of tweny-one directors. to
