MEXICAN RAIL
CONDITIONS TO
BE IMPROVED
Revolution Left Traffic Lines
Depleted of Materials and
Out of Repair.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16.-The commits
sion appointed to arrange for the return
Of the National Railroad of Mexico to its
owners has begun its labors and it is
announced that favorable progress is be-
Ing made.
1t is understood the return to owner
ship will be completed at the end Of the
year, or at the time General Oregon
enters Office as President.
The National Railroad is the chief rail-
road system Of the nation.
The Mexican Railway, which operates
the line between Mexico City and Vera
Cruz, has already been returned TO its
owners and is now giving the best rail
way service in Mexico. Q1een Mary of
England is one of the heaviest stock
holders in this company.
The National Railroad of Mexico is be-
ing operated, but that is all that can be
said for it.
COACHES BURNED
DURING REVOLUTION.
Every thing Is badly out of repair.
The passenger coaches are wrecks.
So many Of them were burned during
the revolutions that there are not enough
passenger coaches for ordinary service
and many passengers are compelled to
making a long journey.
They pay full fare but get no seat.
There is sleeping car on some of the
trains. but this is usually filed at the
starting point
Persons boarding the trains at inter
mediate stations have no hope Of getting
accommodations.
It win take more than S5.000,OO0 to re-
pair the damage done TO the railroad
property.
Where the money is to come from no
one knows, although all hope is fastened
upon an American loan.
The Mexican treasury Is too lean to
give the substantial aid needed.
WANTON WASTE TO BE
SEEN EVERYWHERE.
The wanton waste at the hands of
rebels is to be seen everywhere.
Depots and freight stations have been
burned and costly bridges destroyed.
In fact, everything belonging to the
railroad to which a match could be APP
piled was set a1re
The burning of railroad buildings was
one Of the pastimes Of tire revolutionists
Even in isolated districts where rail-

Heavy claims against the Government

Mexican officials are hoping To settle

the railways have long desired.
These concessions probably would
take the form of land grants for the
