Subject IS Discussed by the Manufsc-
tursrs' Record in Long
Artiole-ssiatter of Inter
est Is Brunswick.

Accompanied by a fun page map
showing an of the railway lines owned
Or contrcied by q II. Hartman. the
following article appeared in the last
issue OF the Manufacturers Record.
1t will be seen that the article lends
c-lor TO Gumor recently current that
Hartman was trying to get control OF
the Seaboard, and which was discuss
ed at some length in the editorial
columns of The News recently:
IF there should ever be a combina-
ton of the various railroads in which
e. II. Hartman is now interested the
merger would accomplish the forma-
ton of pract cally one vast railroad
system from the Atlantic ocean to the
Pacific ocean and from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, as shown
in the full page map presented in this
issue of the Manufacturers Record.
Mr.. Hartman is now president Cf the
Union Pacific railroad and the South
ern Pacific railway, which control the
lines shown west of the Missouri
river at Omaha and Kansas City, re-
spectively. and west of New Or
leans on the Mississippi He is also
a director in lie Illinois entral rail
road which has the lines running
down the Miss 5ippi valley from Chi
cago to New orleans with a west
ward line ,maha and eastward
lines to Louisville and birmingham.
His great influence in this road.
amounting practically to control, was
shown at the contest for the presi-
dency thereon last year, in which his
candidate was successful lie is also
director in the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, controlling the lines from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington to Pittsburg. Cincin-
natl and st. Louis, as wen as to Chi
cago Fa!rport, Cleveland, l4orain and
Sandusky on the lakes and not long
ago he acquired a voice in the man
agement of the Erie railroad running
from New York to Buffalo, Pittsburg.
Cincinnati and Chicago He is, fur
thermore, largely interested in the
Central Of Georgia railway, having
AIHND ilCli DhN dlllldu " birmingham,
including Augusta, Atlanta, Macon
and Columbus, Ca, besides Montgom-
cry and other points in Alabama
farther south, whence extensions to
the gulf could easily be made
1T will thus be seen that is such
combination Of trunk lines should
ever come about it would have an
outlet at three Of the great eastern
ports, at one Of the great southeast
ern ports. four or five ports on the
gulf and four or five On the Pacific.
study Of the accompanying map will
show that about the only thing needed
Tor the Hartman roads to belt the
country, as well as to bisect it and TO
reach nearly every important port on
the Atlantic coast&and the gulf. as
well as On the Pacific coast, is q line
between New Orleans and Washington
with branches to southern ports.
"Speculations as to the future re-
suits of Mr.. Harrman's widely extend

OF ARKANSAS.
Something of What May Be Expected of
 the Different Parties of the State.

Little Rock, April 3-Politics in Arkansas is extremely quiet at this time, owing to the fact that the democratic primary, held ten days ago settled the personnel of the sta te officers for the next two years.
 The republicans will select q state ticket also, from present indications, at the state con- vention to be held April 2S, in the city of Hot Springs, and Col. John I. Warrington, of Harri- son, will, in all probability, be the nominee for governor. It is rumored that Harry H. Meyers might be the c&ndidatc ,or attorney general, if one is nom mated.
 The other state offices are in the dark, even as to rumors, at this time.
 The socialists will not put out state ticket, it is stated by local leaders, at this time. The national convention, which will 1 Dt iiclb at w III q representation from Arkansas, but aside from this the socialists $ will make but little showing in Arkansas.
 The fact that Hon. P. R. An drews of Augusta, candidate for attorney general on the demo- cratic ticket, refusesto conccde cede the election of Hon. Hal l.. Norwood of Mena, for that pos itiOn, leaves a slight uncertainty V in the ticket of the democrats. which will go before the state convention which meets in June in this city That Mr. Norwood is elected there is practically no doubt, yet there is a bare chance that there will be a change in this particular.
 Col. J. M. Oathout of Bonneville also still contends that he is the nominee of the democra tic party for state auditor, yet the returns give John k. lobe - {. is city, a majority of 10000.

pOpULIST CONVENTION.
Some Prospect of a Bolt in the National
 Contention Now in Session.

St. Louis, April 2.-The Popu- rst National Convention began here today. Thomas k. Watson of Georgia and Samuel w. Will liams of Indiana are likely to be the nominees for President and Vice President, the Nebraska de- legation alone favoring Bryan. Gen. Jacob & Coxey is tempOra- ry chairman.
 The convention which was call ed for 10 o'clock, was somewhat behind that hour in commencing nroceedings. The chief cause of this was renewed efforts of Bry- an men to secure an agreement for adjournment until after the Republican and Democratic Con- ventions. They made strong ar cuInents before the members of the national committee and also before the committee on ere dentials but with no apparent effect save to delay the proceed ings. They were backed up by demands for adjournment by the claims that some delegates pre- sent had been improperly chosen and the entire call for the oc- yention was illegal. They cited the case of Pennsylvania, which has 70 votes in convention, while Watson did not have a single vote in the state. Other alleg- ed iniquities in the system of re- presentation were mentioned. but the Watson men stood firm and refused to listen to any pro position for adjournment.
 The determination of Nebraska Minnesota and Michigan to bolt the convention if the program making nomina tions is carried out, is unaltered today.
 l.. \. Walrath, secretary of the Nebraska central committee said today, We do not propos- ed to be trampled upon and we are going to fight for our rights We claim to represent more slmon-pure Populists than any other state. We will not be a party to any other nominations and II they are made. and if ad- lournment Is not taken. we will leave the convention"
