Stanhope, Thompson & | Corthell were put in charge of the work, but in 1873 the money of the loan was ex- | hausted and the road was not yet finished. | Bubsequently the Government furnished | the necessary fundsand the work was com- pleted in 1894, Though the railroad line is finished and in operation, it can hardly be said that it can be used for the commerce of the world. On the Atlantic terminus the hrbor is | the mouth of the Coatzacoalcos River, | probably the finest harbor in North merica south of the United States, but | which, unfortunately, has a bar at the | entrance. Now the harbor is available for | vessels drawing less than fifteen feet, but in a short time two piers or jetties will be built to contract the flow of ‘the river at its mouth and effect the scouring of the river, when the tide is exvected to keep the | channel clear for a depth of twenty-five | feet. The success attained with similar works at the mouth of the Mississippt ordova McnteorangoRR ado RR ™~ . g Minatitlan finest harbor on the Pacific south of our ¥. This was the project of Captain Eads for his ship railway. The tides on the north terminus on the Atlantic side are two feet, and at the south end or at Salina Cruz six feet. We see from the above that thereisa railway available. completed and in opera- tion, over 1200 miles nearer to San Fran- cisco than the Panama Railroad. Such a line, it seems, onght to be owned or con- trolled by the people of the Pacific Coast, and especially of San Francisco. Let us consider the reasons: Our geographical position, in one re- spect, is most excellent, fronting as we do the great Pacific Ocean and the countries of the great East, with the best harbor on this side of the continent of America. But, on the other hand, the advantages above mentioned are neutralized on ac- count of our great sailing distance from the eastern part of our own country and : The completion of the Pa- MAP SHOWING ADJACENT COUATRY TO TEHUANTEPEC, WI{H PROPOSED RAILROADS, 1 Cortes is supposed o have visited 3 antepec as early as 1526 to charter an tion which, sailing on the South would try to discover the great It is sure, however, that | pain he Seas, island of Spices. during his government of New solicited and obtained from Charles V a large concession for the purpose of opening @ ship canal through Tehuantepec. Ever since the time of Cortes the importance of easy communication through Tehuante- pec has been acknowledged. The Govern- ment of Spain had sur made and a canal would undoubtedly have been built had she not engaged in wars with nearly every country in the world. As soon as Mexico obtained its inde- pendence the old project of a canal | through Tehuantepec was again revived | and many concessions for that purpose, and later on for that of building a rail- | road, were given at different times to some of her own citizens or citizens of other countries. After the Mexican War the United States | endeavored to acquire the territory of the isthmus of Tehuantepec. President Bu- chanan, then Secretary of State, instructed Commissioner Nicholas P. Trist to offer any sum up to §15,000,000 for the right of passage and transit across Teinuantepec. | The offer was rejected, however, by the Mexican Government, as it feared it might | jeopardize the independence of Mexico. It is gratifying to note that the feelings between the two nations have changed entirely since then, and the Mexican Goy- ernment is ready to enter into any treaties that may promote the prosperity of both republics. Ever since the Mexican War concessions have been given and compuanies have been orgarized to build ways of communication between the two oceans through Tehuan- tepec. The United States has sent three scientific commissions to survey and report on the feasibility and advisability of a railway across Tehuantenec—the first un- der the late General Barnard, United £ S engineers, in 1850; the second in 1870-71, under Commodore Shufeldt, and the last one in 1893. Every commission has reported favorably on Tehuantepee as the best route to commumcate the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts. It is yet fresh in the memory of the read- ing public, the project of Captain James B. Eads for a ship railway across Tehuan- tepec. Of the routes possible he selected Tehuantepec as the most favorable. His genius in devising original undertakings and his success in carrying them out en- title his preference to consideration. After so many companies had attempted the construction of a railway through Tehuantepec and had failed to carry the projects out, the Mexican Government, convinced of the necessity of that means of communication, in 1382 bought all the rights and inte-ests of the last company for about $1,600,000, and undertook the work on the national account. In 1882 the Mexican Government nego- tiated a loan of £2,700,000 sterling in London, Berlin and Amsterdam for the pur&mse of building the Tehnantepec Rail- Toad. In 1885 a contract was given to Ed McMurdo to build 226 kilometers of new road and repair 108 kilometers already built, but in a bad condition. McMurdo transferred his contract to Salvador Malo. River and in the harbor of Tampico justi- fies the expectation. The Tehuantepec Railway, when finally completed, will be one susceptible of being operated very economically. The total length of the railway line is 189 miles. The highest point 1s about 800 feet above the two terminal I)oinrs. That makes the grades very small, in no place exceeding | 2 per eont. The approaches, when the im- provements in the harbors are completed, will be very convenient, and the berths for all kindsof vesselsampleand commodious. At the eastern end the great river of Coatzacoalcos affords one of the best har- | bors known, and can be navigated to a dis- | tance of over sixteen miles above its mouth. The bar already mentioned is composed of clay, covered with a top of sand, and its removal will not be difficult. At the western end the harbor of Salira | Crnz is tised, and is protected from north | and northwest winds, but exposed to those | from the south and southeast. An iron pier is used for a landing at present. | There are two large lakes adjoining the ocean, with connection to it, and with the construction of jetties it could be made the l cific railroads, though beneficial in many respects, on account of almost insuperable chains of mountains that they have to crose and the lack of competition does not meet the need of cheap transportation so essential to the development of new cbun- tries like our California. For many years the main source of our wealth must be agriculture, and the growth of our popula- tion, by natural increase and by immigra- tion, must be in proportion to the success of those devoted to it. It is well known that the opening of the new lands of India, and principally of the Argentine Republic, have made the price of wheat so low that our farmers cannot | cultivate it profitably. From the great val- ley of ths La Plata and Parana rivers wheat can be transported from the field to Liver- pool for less than what it costs to transport. it from places in California to San Fran- cisco. ut even when it arrives in San Francisco, owing to the great distance to | the markets of Europe, one-half of its value goes for freights, insurance and commis- sions. the other products of the soil. Of course the great remedy would be the | ‘What is said of cereals applies to | | all_the othier product: | instead of sacks, and the d construction of the Panamaand Nicaragua canal. But the time when California will derive benefit from those great works is unfortunately very far. The Panama canal, which w: upposed to be constructed in ten years’ time and at an expense of $120,- 000,000, has been in course of construction over the allotted time and has cost more than twice the estimated amount, though only one-third of the work isdone. That it will be finished the perseverance and enterprise of the I'rench people guarantee, but the time it will take will be exceed- ingly long. The enormous cost of the canal will cause the charges to be very bigh. The Nicaragua canal couid, in all prob- ability, be built for a great deal less than that of Panama, but judging from the apathy of our people in the matter it is to be feared that the time when it will be constructed is also very remote. But our needs are imperative and can- not wait. One by one articles of forei, trade are taken away from us; tea, silk and rice from the East have been diverted from our shores, the coffee irom Guate- mala goes to places in our vicinity, via Atlantic ports. The exportation of wheat has greatly diminisned, and in this way As a distributing Francisco Teaches a greatly ca and the circle of cities where we send our wares grows narrower everv vear. The commercial importance of California depends on San Francisco and that of this city in its great ba; It is now nearly useless to us, and will so re- main until the sea freights and port charges be considerably reduced. The only remedy at present liesin the control of the point dimin the citizens of this City, and they ought to strive to obtain it at any cost. It would make the distance from San ancisco to New Orleans by sea on 3576 miles, a saving over Panama of 1836 miles, or 3 miles for the round trip. Once at New Orleans the vessels could ascend the great Mississippi and distribute our products to the largest Territories in our Republic. Another advantage of the Tehunantepec route over that of Panama is tnat the Jat- ly ter is in the region of the *‘doldrums,” or | calms, and not available for sailing ves- sels, whereas the route by way of Tehnan- tepec could be used by all kinds of crafs. Considering the short time that wheat | would have to be stored in vessels if the | Tehuantepec route was taken, by meuns of | 4 grain elevators, 1t could be shipped in bulk tance from San Francisco to lLiverpool, tepee, would be only 8267 miles, a saving for a round trip of over 15,000 miles over the Cape Horn voyage. There is abundant water-power at all points across the isthmus of Tehuantepec, and grain eleva- tors could be operated at a minimum cost. But this is not all. interoceanic road in Mexico, and the com- pletion of the gap from Oaxaca to Tehuan- tepec will connect it with all the system of Mexican railways. It will then be the | great distributor for that country, and considering that the adjacent country to Tehuantepec is very rich in coffee, sugar, rubber and many other equally valuable products it will be the means of exporting thera. San Francisco controlling that road could regain a great deal of her departed importance. Some yearsago the Mayor of our City, the | Board of Trade and the Chamber of Com- merce memorialized President Diaz of Mexico not to allow the Tehauntepec Rail- road to fall into the hands of corporations considered inimical to the interests of this coast. The best way to prevent that is to secure it by our own citizen That Gen- eral Diaz was in favor of such an arrange- ment the writer of this articie knows from the President of Mexico himself. E. J.

ADOLPH SUTRO, President of the Committee of Fifty, ErctarEitas CANNOT PAY ITS DEBTS. Attorney Reed BEelleves That the Southern Pacific Company Is in a Bad Financial Plight. Charles W. Reed, the attornev for the Civic Federation, is of thé opinion that leaving aside all considerations of moral and legal right the Oentral Pacific Com- pany is totally unable to meet its liabili- ties. In the course of a conversation he said: Here we have a corporation debtor owing a | sum approximsting $75,000,000, including His Circular Letter to the, - | Mayor Sutro has not only appealed to | { The arguments set forth are as follows: | By the second section of sald charter the said | 1% (NeSe Other o, s 1t | | 10 cha aid for said stock Ly transferring | We respectfully appeal to the Legislature of | | | ably | the above named States and Territories to lease | 10 you, people of Kentucky, to put the stamp | of your indignation upon it and crush it out of | | #1000 0 g Pprincipal and interest, and without means, ac- Cording toits own statement, of meeting any | Jortion of this lability, shich was originelly | incurred about thirty years ngo.

It means that the Central Pacific Ra TUSE reserve on an average every yeal next half century $3,000,000 t0 meet | gatious; that every month it Tess than $250,000 over and above all its oper- I 00,000 in | ating expenses and fixed charges; that it must meke @ net profit, in other words, of nearly ey for the next fifty years to come if itreally intended to meet the proposed new obligations. oW, let us admit that they are asking the Dpassage of this funding bill in good faith with the intention of fulfillivg its conditions. Itis | fair to presume that they will expect to pay the obligations of the Central Pacific Railroad Company only from the exrnings of that prov- | erty. In the light of the past this will prove an impossibility. The latest report of the Central Pacific Rail- | road Company made public is that subuitted | to the Railfond Commission of this State. | | | That was the annual report of operations end- ing with June 30, 1894, This showed that the net income for that ,377,720 88. Out of this $672,755 was paid to stockholders as1percont dividend, leaving a netsurplus | of §704,967 vear to be applied to such | contingen as, say, this funding bill, or | about $2,300,000 léss than the necessary | smount. | But even let them deprive their stockholders of all dividends and use the entire net income f 1,377,720 88 to meet the obligations of the proposed ‘funding bill, and they would still fall short for that yee! tiAnother thing to that bears heavily the corporation be ments of the pro; tension, is that the Southern Pacific Company, whichi leases the Central Pacific Railroad, has claimed that the | annual rental of $1,360,000 paid that Toad has | been a source of loss to the lessee. And it is generally understood that this rental was a year ugo reduced, so that the net income of the Central Pacific Railroad is undoubtedly less to-day than it was in 1894. It might be thought by some that they | would resort to an increase of rates; but that would prove futile and even disastrous, for in- stead of augmenting the road’s income it would tend to divert traflic to other less favor- situated competitors. But rates might be advanced ously by all the transcontinental 1 onsidered, and one t the possibility of to meet the requ simultane- | nes, s was done recently,” I can hear some one zay.

Admitting though that even people could be induced to serve the purpose of the Central Pacific Railroad, it is held in check by the always present dafiger of a com- and act the Panama | peting line of steamers or clipper ape Horn.

All that T have said assumes that C. P. Hunt- ington wauld be willing to build up the i ests of the Central Pacific Pailroad at the pense of his own pet property, the Sun Toute.

FLECTRIC CARS COLLIDE, Serious Accident to Passengers Coming From the Ingle- side Track. there is n Ty existence, Thomas Glover, a Jeckey, and at Least Five Others More or Less Injured. Two electric cars of the Ingleside divi sion of the Mission-strest line collided | last evening, and it was by the merest ' : o | chance that several lives were not lost. At least half a dozen passengers were more or | less injured. | Car 1040 had leit the Ingleside track % | filled with passengers, and was almost im- mediately followed by car 1060 with about | thirty passengers on board. | The passengers on car 1040 were leaving | the car near Twenty-ninth street, opposite | the power-house, shortly before 6 o’clock, | when car 1060 dashed into it with suff cient force to shatter the glass in both cars and do other damage. | The passengers on the front dummy of car 1060, six in number, fared worse than | any of the others. Thomas Glover, a jockey who livesat the v District track, was thrown violently from his seat by the shock and fell in the mud. His left ankle | | and the small bones of his left foot were | broken by the fall, his kree was skinned and there were wounds on his forehead and scalp. He was taken to the City and County Hospital in the patrol wagon, where his injuries were atternded to, and to-day, at his request, he will be remoyed to the French Hospital. | Henry Martin, a young man living at | 183 Benton avenue, on Bernal Heights, had his hands badly cut by broken glass, and was sent to his home in a_hack pro. vided by the railroad people. Four other passengers on the front dummy, whose names could not be ascertained last night, were also cut about the hands and face and sent to their homes in hacks. The | railroad people refused to give their names or any information about the accident. According to Jockey Glover, the motor- man of car 1060 failed to shut off the elec- tric carrent at the proper time and lost contrel of the lever. Another report was that while the conductor was in the for- ward part of the car one of the passengers | on the rear dummy loosened the brakes, which was the cause of the motorman los | ing his head. ‘ At the Buda-Pesth m ! tennial exhibition next year there will be another steel tower | like the Eiffel tower, but 1625 feet high, in- | stead of 975.
