RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

Called meetings Of the stock D oloers
Of the Washington, Arlington ano
Falls Church, and of the washington,
Alexandra and Mt. Vernon Railway
Comnanies we're held at Mt. vernon
and = meeting Of stockholders OF the
Washington Virginia Railway oo ob;.
pany was held at Falls Church tnls
evening. for the purpose OF taking INTO
consideration and voting on a JONI
agreement entered into by the boards
Of directors of these companies LOT Tue
merger or consultations OF said cofpo'
rations.
The meetings were in progress Wher
this report closed, but it was generally
understood that the merger would Of
accomplished. :,
Tn reference to these meetings the
Richmond Times Dispatch OF today
says: -,
Il is presumed that the Washington
Virginia will be holding company,
and the new line will be called by it
name. At present the roads are under
one management, the property OF tine
Washington, Arlington and Fall;
Church Railway being leased to tht
Washington, Alexandria and Noun
Vernon.
Several theories are advanced as le
the purport OF this movement. Ii
quarters it is believed that it means an
important move in the building OF the
new line from Richmond to Washing
ton, while exactly the converse opinion
is held by others. It was stated at one
time that the lines would become the
property of the Gould interests, and
that the RichmondW Washington road
would enter the capital city over the
bridge now used by them. On the
other hand, it has been said that the
scheme is to force the Southern Railway
to sell its BIuemont division to the ne"
company by threatening to build a
competing line from Vienna to Blue
mont, which is authorized by its char
ter, and thus to block the Goulds from
reaching the Potomac.

PreparIne to Land Marines.

San Salvador, Oct. 12,-Information
was received here today that the U. >.
gunboat Princeton reached Amapala
Yesterday and demanded the surrender
of Commandante Valladares, who In
augurated a reign of terror against
American and British interests in the
western Honduras. Valladares refused
to surrender, sending word that ne is
not subseryient to American pigs. Just
prior to the arrival OF the warshlpS
President Davilla sent word to val
ladares to meet any demand made By
the American commander. Valladares
answered that he was running the port
as it suited him, and refused to COM
DIV with President Dayilla's request to
surrender.
Further word from Amapala declares
that American marines are preparing
to land and take forcible possession and
they will meet with resistance.
Villadares has mounted guns at the
customs house, commanding the
wharves. AID declares he will fight any
attempt by Yankees" or English
marines to land. Foreign residents re-
naming at Amapala are barricaded in
their homes.
The British consul, who escaped here
from Amapala, declares that conditions
for tile last two months have paralleled
anarchy. The climax came last week
when the commandante classified with
the British representatives over a
routine matter. The commandante
threatened to shoot he consul and
ordered his arrest.
1t is thought here that Was ington
,,;rbt toto CHARGE of the situation.
