Austin Texas Jaanarjr 11. An-
otber project is on foot to h'e
BrawTiSviile railroad connection
with thb.t)ut.ide world. A party
o? surveyors have fopen in the field
fur several months and have just
completed a survey ef a route from
Brownsville to Alice a istauee of
134 Miles.
Connection is made at Alice with
tfre Texas-Mexicau and- the San
Antonio & Aransas Pans railroads.
Tire survey was made by direction
of Hon. J. 13. Wells of Brownsville
Robert Kleberg and other wealthy
.ranchmen of that section. These
parties have been in correspond-
ence with the Missouri Kansas
& Texas Railway oSieiais with a
vftjw Yjf .getting that company to
accept the survey and build the
proposed line the same to be au
extension of the road no? Building
to Sn Aotouio from San iMarcos.
It is not kuowi: what has result-
ed from this correspondence. Ft
is said that if That -company can-
not be induced to take hold of the
project an effort will be made to
get the Southern Pacific people to
extend the San Autonijr-& Aransas
Pass to Brox7usville over the sur-
veyed route. lf the Southern Pac-
ific does not accept the proposition
the weakhy cattlemen who have
paid for the survey of the road

Oompton at the war department to-
day with regard to au appropria-

confederate soldiers in Arlington
cemetery and Soldiers' Home ceme-
tery near here to former homes in
south for reinterment. There are
135 confederate dead at Arlington
aud 12S at the Soldiers' Home
cemetery. Sometime ago congress
appropriated $2500 for the inter-
ment in a separate plot in the
Arlington cemetery of all the con-
federate dead buried in various
eemeteries in this vicinity; It is
concecded that that fund can not
be used for the removal of the re-
mains in question from Arlington
to other eemeteries and the present
application does not invofve the
use of that money. The question
for the secretary of war to decide
is whether be can cause the remov-
al of the remains as requested by
the Confederate memorial associa-
tion under existing law 6r whether
affirmative legislation is required.

Action Looking to Repeal of an
Old Law Nelson Gam mage
Found Dead in Bed.
Mexico City Jan. 11. Action
has been takeu by a number of at-
torneys iif this city toward having
what is known as the "five league
marine law" repealed. The mari
time law as it stands is a decree of
Santa Ana aud forbids the sale of
coast land's in Mexico to any for-
eigners. The law has beeti in vogue
since about 1844 but has never
been rigidly enforced. A number
of foreigu investors hefe in Mex-
ico who have been interested in
coast lands and coast mines dis-
covered the statute- and in order
to secure perfect titles to their
property they have instructed thefr
attorneys in this city to petitiou
the authorities to have the law
changed.
Nelson Gammage was fou-ud dead
in bis room yesterday. A white
powder was on' the table beside
him and an unfinished note which
begau: "I bought qninin9 and
they gave me poison gas " The
dead man had begun a new word
but was unable to finish when
death overtook him. The author-
ities will have the poisop analyzed.
Gammage was employed at the of-
fice of the Mexican National rail-
way in the-auditor's department
aud his business record there is
good. It is supposed he has an
ared father and mother and mar
ried sister living in Chicago.
He
was about 32 years of age. One
theory of the death is that h8 was
snffering from neuralgia and took
an overdose of some quieting med-
icine. The remains were buried
this morning in the American
cemetery.
Mexico City Jan. 11. It is an-
nounced that President Djaz Trill
go tQ G nana junto tlcB this
month toinaugurayKgnifi-
cent theater andKtructed
state house.
Some of the Mexican pilgrims to
Rome are in danger of being in a
destitute condition having starred
witfi insufficient funds. It seems
incredible but it is stated on good
authority that not a few have only
$10 silver in cash in addition to
their return tickets and they will
have to pay their way from Italy
to Barcelona to take a return steam-
er. 3c is probable that the matter
will be brought to the attention of
wealthy Mexicans residents in Eu
rope so they may aid their im
pecuDious compatriots.

CO. H2 YORK
GRIP IN NEW YORK
EPIDEMIC
Said to Be -500:000 Cases in Great
er New York. .
New York Jan. 10. The grip
is epidemic in New York. It is
not so virulent as in past years
buj there is a great deal more of it.
Reports from a number of physi-
cians show that there ure more
than 500000 cases of the malady
in Greater New York. Popu'ar
evidence of the prevalence of the
disease and the kind of people who
are most liable to- be attacked is
furnished by the abnormal fallhig
off in attendance at the city thea--tsrs.
The managers at first wer great-
ly puzzled by the situation. They
decided to investigate. A deputa-
tion was sent to a number of lead-
ing physicians. They all said that
grip was preyalent aud that its
victims were almost exclusively
among those who go out at night.
Bnsiness has iu .all branches
been greatly affected by the prev-
alent epidemic. The managers of
the larger stores are complaining
of the serious depletion of theit
staff of clerks.
SALE OF DANISH
WEST INDIES
Is Said to Be Approaching a Sot

Copenhagen- January 11. The
negotiations for the sale of tha
Danish West Indies to the United
r states are seeminsrlv aDDroachins
a settlement. The matter has beeti
placed in tho hands of the flnancs
committee of the rigsdag with thi
view of arranging the difference in
the price asked and offered. The
king and ministry are in favor of
tiie sala but final action may be
delayed by powerful opposition in
the islands and here.
