NOTHING OF THE KIND.

The republican press seem to think something unusual happened when convict 3262 escaped from the state prison Monday. If they will turn through the pages of past history they will find such occurrences were quite common under all previous adminis- trations. Two convicts escaped from the Tempe bridge crew under the last republican administration and a dozen or more duplicated that performan- ce at the prison during the same ad- ministratiOn without exciting comment from the republican press Arizona Blade-Tribune.
 The republican press think no thing of the kind. Nor do they say it. Not only has the usual but the expected has happened in the escape of the "honor convicts" of Governor Hunt. Had not his ex- cellency made so great a fuss over the new method which he adopted, promising his resignation if any honor convict" took his leave, there would have been no criticism whatever.

COL. RANDOLPH SAYS "sooN."
Work on s. ?. Line Out of Tepic to Be
 Started Shortly.
[Guadalajara Times.)

In a recent interview with com mittee of business men of Mazatlan, Col. Epes Randolph, president of the Southern Pacific Railroad of Mexico, announced that the work of extending the West Coast line from Topic to the Guadalajara connection would be commenced shortly.
 This is according to the report of the interview sent to La Prensan of Mexico City by its Mazatlan correspondent. The interview took place on board Col. Randolph's private car at the Mazatlan station.
 The business men of Mazatlan are anxious for the completion of the West Coast line to Guadalaiara. and they asked the Southern Paci- tc president about the matter. He replied that construction work out of Topic in the direction of this city would be started within a short time. He called attention to the fact that orders had been issued for the extension of the Guadala- jara division from Magdalena to La Quemada, a point within a short distance of the barrancas of the Sierra Madre. He told the committee that the crossing of the barrancas would cost great for tune, and went on to explain that in a distance of twenty eight kilometers thirty-two tunnels and many steel viaducts would be necessary.
 The Mazatlan business men asked Coi. Randolph for a daily train service between Mazatlan and Topic, but he stated that this would be impossible at this time, due to the fact that the recently completed link between the Santi-
