SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLANS
OTHER ROAD IN MEXICO.
1t is to Follow East Coast From
Brownsville to Tampico and
Vera Cruz.

San Antonio, Tex. Nov. Pit is
understood that the Southern Pacific
will build a trunk line down the east
coast of Mexico The road would cross
the Rio Grande at Brownsville and
MatamoraS and from there run to
Tampico and Veracruz. ultimately
reaching Coastzacoalcos. Since the
Southern Pacific is no presumed at
present to have control of any of the
lines reaching Brownsville the acuui-
sltion Of such road or the building
OF new line, probably from San An
tonic, may be looked for in the near
future. Brownsville is at present
reached only by the St. Louis. Browns
vile and Mexico. claimed to be under
control of the Frisco interests The
nearest point to Brownsville at which
the Sunset Lines reach the Mexican
border is at Del Rio. Tex. Laredo,
situated between these two interna-
tional terminals, is reached by the In
ternational & Great Northern, a Gould
line
Should it be found impracticable
to extend the line into Texas an in
creased activity in the steamer serv-
ice of the Southern Pacific may be ex-
pected for the reason that the Gulf of
Mexico lines under its control would
extend their sailings to Tampico and
possibly Veracruz. The district to be
opened by the road is very rich in soil
products, both, agricultural and min
eral
A number of branch lines will also
be built and work on some of them
has been commenced. Construction has
been started on road running from
Rivera to San Andreas de Tuctla and
the Sierra Colorado also been begun
or branch road to the San Isidro dis
trict.
That Robert S. Lovett intends to
carry out the vast schemes mapped
out by the late Edward Hartman is
clearly shown by this. One of them
was the building of road through
Central America, intended to become
ultimately the Pan-American railroad
of which SO much was heard a few
years ago. The present activity of the
Southern Pacific bids fair to make this
tremendous undertaking a possibility

Duty Taken from Coffee.

Washington, April 3.--The Repubi-
can leaders Of the House yesterday az
the result Of a careful canvas express
ed absolute confidence in their ability
to pass the tariff bin whenever they de-
sired to put il upon It's passage. The
decision now is 70 put the bin on its
passage next Wednesday, April 7th.
The announcement was made by the
Republican leaders that they would
have sufficient strength to vote down
a motion by the Democrats 10 recommit
the BILL, with instructions, which will be
the test.
Notices are being sent out BY Repub.
lican Whip Dwight for every Republic
can member Of the House TO be in his
seat Monday TO vote on a rule looking
70 the early passage Of the Payne bill.
The understanding among the Repub-
lican leaders Is that the rule will pro-
vide for a separate vote on the lumber
and hide schedules. The ways tand
means committee will amend tho bill
so as to strike of the proposed counter.
vailing duty on coffee and the duty on
tea and to restore duty OF 25 cents a
bushel on barley.
The interests which demand that The
duty be taken Of petroleum and the
duty on beer increased are continuing
their fight for separate vote
IL Il probable that the rule win per-
NIT a vote on coal and iron schedules.
The ways and means committee was
IN session yesterday as usual, consider
ing committee amendments to the bill
and it is understood that a definite an.
nouncement Of the results OF its delib-
erations win be made at an early date.
There is no doubt that II has been de-
termined that there should b an open
vote in the house on a proposition 70
take all the duty of lumber and also on
an amendment restoring hides TO the
dutiable list and the prevailing opinion
IS that both changes will be made
There il more interest IN the provis-
ion fixing eomteryailing duty on petro-
leum than any other and the canvassers
are having more trouble in getting an
agreement 70 vote for the bill because
Of this provision than because Of any
other There has been from the start
effort 10 have the committee
either stTwike ont the item or permit an
open vote upon Il, but 50 far no decision
has been reached one way or the other
While for a time yesterday it seemed
definitely decided that the final vote
would be ordered Tor the seventh in
slant. later Ia the day there was diyi-
sion Of opinion on that point and some
were inclined to think that the bill
would not he put on its passage until
the ninth or the 10th. Friday or satm-
day 81 next week The best indication
were, however, for the seventh
