Gossip in Railway Circles

Company and the Tehuantepec Railroad
is doing, observed a railroad man.
They should rather look upon them as
an unmixed blessing. The fact is that
neither of the transcontinental lines
can handle all the business offered
them and the steamship line and the
Tehuantepec road is to a certain ex-
tent relieving the situation for which
they ought to be thankful. There is
not business house in the city which
does not need goods and this new line
Is doing an enormous traffic in bring
ing stuff into the city. especially heavy
goods, such as pianos. Their rates are
from 20 to 40 per cent lower than the
transcontinental tariff They simply
use the transcontinenta1 tariff as a
basis and make the cut. The Tehuan-
tepec cars are made with detachable
roofs, so that freight can be lightered
from the vessels direct to the cars.
This does away with trucking and also
with any chance of pilfering. Then
there is another thing to be borne in
mind: the new line promises the mer-
chant through service from New
York of thirty days. and this is better
than an alI-rail route

NEW SWINDLE SCHEME.
Sale of Tickets of Admission to the
United States the Latest.

New York, Dec. 1O.-The sale of
tickets of admission to the United
States is the latest form of swindle dis
covered by the immigration authori-
ties. A man passenger on the liner
Amerika sold more than forty of them
to the steerage passengers on the ship,
which arrived yesterday, receiving not
less than 81 apiece for them. With
these tickets the immigrants were told
they could enter the country without
difficulty. The ships officers discover
ed the swindle and compelled the re-
turn of the money. The man probably
will be prosecuted.
