and left yesterday at 4 p. m. for Corpus
Chtlsti thence to Galveston by steamer
where he is to meet General Palmer and
Walter Minchman Presidents of the Palmer-
Sullivan combination and the Mex-

it is probable that this mee ing of
railroad representatives in the Island City
will effect a satisfactory compromise of the
legal difficulties now existing between the
Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and Texas and
Mexican railroads in relation to the right-of-way
in that city. So soon as the necessary
terminal facilities are secured the later road
in Galveston the narrow ounce will be pushed
to early completion which is a matter ol
much importance to the people there as well
as the road and the rich country through
wincn it is to run.
Some parti's are here makinc propositions
