SAGE EXPLAINS THE PLAN. New York, May 24.—Recent acq ui- sitions of railroad property by Geo. J. Gould and allied interests have given rise to a growing belief that the plans for the Missouri Pacific sys- tem are aimed to place it in the very forefront of the railroad properties of the country. Itnowappears that the project comprehends the connect- ing of the Atlantic and the Pacific seaboards. Mr. Russell Sage said to-day that the development of the plan for a r Missouri Pacific would not, in his judgment, develop any hostil- ities in the railroad situation. Every- thing, he thought, would bly arra The general plan is to extend the system from the Pacificto the Atlan- tic ocean,” said Mr. Sage. ‘This will doubtless take a good deal of time. I cannot say how long.” be amica- reds “What means do you road to take to get its outlet to the Atlantic seaboard?” was asked. “That matter is in its infancy,” Mr. Sage replied. “Ihave no doubt the plan for the entire system will be worked out harmoniously. In con nection with the acquisition of Wheel- ing and Lake Erie and the line it is to build into Pittsburg, it is proba- ble that short spurs of road of fifty or 100 or 150 miles will be built to accommodate towns not onthe main line.” “Will the Texas Pacific be absorb- ed by the Missouri Pacific?” “Yes,” said Mr. “that will come about.” expect the Sage, He Is a Wonder.

Lesicur, the explorer, arrived at Bordeaux yester- day on the steamship Ville de Maceie after two years’ exploration in West- ern Africa. M. Lesicur went up the Benita River, whose course was pre- viously discovered by M. Crampel. He determined the course of the Benita and also that of the river which Fournon visited in 1892 under the name of Tombony. M. Lesicur says this is really the River Campo. He describes thecountry as marvelous, producing great quanti- ties of India rubber and ivory. The natives were hospitable. Lesicur es- tablished a commercial station on the Lower Benita.
