RAILWAY INTERESTS.
General Manager Yoakum Talks
About the Gulf and Inter-
state Railway.
EFFECT ON DIFFERENTIALS,
It Will Materially Affect Rates—Southern
Passenger Agents in Session-Austin's
New Orleans Line.
Mr. W. C. Teti?i\ who is largely Interest-
e«l in land along ihe Gulf and Interstate,
on which the townsile of Winnie is located,
spent several hours at Bolivar point yes-
terday, and said it did his hi ait good to
see the rapid manner in which work w.; •
progressing along the line. The bright
spring day was an additional Incentive tor
activity and the tiacklaying gang was
making sweet musk- to the people who arc
Interested in the early completion of the
railrc.ad.
•Mr. B. F. Yoakum, vice president and
general manager of the Gulf. Colorado and
Santa Fe, who is understood to look with
favor upon the Gulf and Interstate, was
casually interrogated -y .1 X^ws represen-
tative- yesterday. Mr. Voakum sit.- in a
oliair of the same height, wears the same
sized hat and smokes th same quality of
cigars as he did previous to his being
made a director and elected third vice
president of the Santa Fe s line to the- gulf.
When ask ■ i his opinion as to the feasibil-
ity of the Gulf and Interstate line and its
■benefit to Galveston, the gentleman me-
thodically blotted three or four of his sig-
natures to type-written missives, then
leaned hack in his • hair.
"I am no; very familiar with the af-
fairs of t'he Gull and Interstate," said he.
"although 1 believe its line as now graded
and proje. . ed means a good deal to Gal-
veston. 11 reaches a territory that Is now
•praeti -a 1 iv - ut off from the eiiy on account
of not having direct railroad communica-
t.on. As I have been advised, the line from
a connection with the Santa Fe yards in
Galveston to Beaumont is sixty-nine miles,
'lids being a fact, it inak is it a short line
fiom Beaumont and all the territory tribu-
tary therein, to Galveston, and will enable
4 ae lumbermen to place the product of
Their mills into this city at a less rate—or.
1 should say at a rate equal to the rate
from Beaumont ?■» Houston. This would
wipe out the differential on a very im-
poriar: commodity.
"In fact. 1 think this line, if it Is com-
pleted as outlined, will become an important
factor In the long discussed question of a
differential, which has placed Galveston at
a disadvantage, as it will shorten the dis-
tance via Beaumont to New Orleans, and,
if the road is extended through Alexandria
to Natchez, it will materially affect the
rate situation from ail points west of the
'-Mississippi iJiver."
"But wi.i this not affect the Santa Fe?"
■was asked.
"Not at all. The line when completed will
form a friendly connection. The Santa Fe
l.s siightly at ;i disadvantage in handling the
lumber traffic, as most of the lumber lines
iti Texts have extended Into Kansas and
other northwestern territory, and can dis-
tribute the product of their mills over their
own rails. The Gulf and Interstate would
materially strengthen the position of the
Santa Fe in controlling it.s share of the
lumber traffic."
After the line is completed from Galveston
to Beaumont, connection will be made with
the Gulf. Beaumont and Kansas City, which
ns' rapidly bill.ding toward Shreveport. It
ds then the intention of the Gulf and Inter-
state to reaeh out to 'Alexandria for a con-
nection 'with the Missouri Pacific, and on to
Natchez for a connection with the Illinois
Central. /
THE COLONEL'S CONTRACT.
Austin, Tex.. March 8.—The kaleidoscope
turns around and the panorama unfolds, if
there Is any truth in the rumors going the
rounds of railroad circles.
It appears that at the same time Colonel
Hogg's Link Line gets flush of funds to
build the Georgetown and Grunger, the
Katy, for reasons of Its own. postpones its
extension to San Antonio. This is what
might be termed a coincidence, but it might
be more than a coincidence that Colonel
Hogg's road heads for the lost link of the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas over in the
plney woods.
It will also be noted that the visit of the
Katy officials to this city is timed to fit in
with the recent purchase of the dam rail-
road by an Austin syndicate. It will be re-
membered that three years ago the Katy
surveyors selected the route covered by
the dam road as the only feasible entrance
Into this city.
And to further demonstrate that it is no
Impecunious Texas concern that essays to
build a railroad in this day of what Gov-
ernor Culberson calls "giant combines and
• olossal straddles," Judge Robertson lays
aside his judicial ermin-- with ;i salary
as an attachment and forms a law partner-
ship with that distinguished corporation
attorney, Colonel Hogg.
Thus does the query of why ;t George-
town railroad employs Austin 'lawvers an-
swer itself. Now. the reason wl.v <'olonel
Hogg is employed at th<* munificent salarv
of snoco per annum for ten years, with *2500
per year to his family for a decade in ease
of- his demise, become (dear. Governor
Culberson is against the consolidation of
railroads, not only those that are parallel
and competing, but those that are mer-dy
extensions of one another, so it is said.
The first . lass are by tlv constitution tor-
bidden to be consolidated, but against the
consolidation of the latter there is no con-
stitutional inhibition, the legislative per-
mission only being lacking, when ('olonel
Jlogg was Governor Hogg he used to de-
nounce the railroads when speaking to ihe
boys from the forks of the creek, but when
tlie practical question came up which n..w
agitates the conscience of Governor Cul-
berson. Colonel Hogg signed a bill to au-
thorize the Missouri. Kansas and Texas to
couple up its links from Denison to Hous-
ton and consolidate even the parallel and
competing lines that stretch from Denison
to Hillsboro. Like the immortal Tim Camp-
bell, the then Governor Hogg saw no rea-
son why a little thing like the constitution
should interfere. There were several other
people and newspapers that did not then
gYasp the enormity of the offense
usual, virtue is its own reward, and now
there are other links to be consolidated
In the meantime the people of Austin are
to be congratulated on the bright prospect
of soon having a bee line to New Orleans
via the land of pine and rosin.

The lass that loved a sailor has been
sung in song and story, but if she is half
so forlorn an object as the sailor who
loves a lassie the ancient mariner of The
News does not wish to meet the lady.
There Is a certain ship now in the port
of Galveston, on board of which is a cer-
tain young man who holds a mate's cer-
tificate, and this mate tells a hard luck
story which points a moral and adorns a
| tale. The moral is that young men who
| follow the sea should not fall in love on
I shore, and the tale is of a bonnie lass
i away In the braes of Scotland, who awaits
j the return of her sailor bold and true.
But Mr. Sailor will not return; at least
not this voyage, and the wedding which
was to take place in the little kirk in
Scotland will have to be postponed for
a while yet.
The story as told to the ancient mariner
runs something in this wise: There was
a young sailor who loved the sea and was
l proud of his handsome ship, in which he
, had shipped for a voyage to the lndi s.
I He was to be gone a year, and when he
i made out the headlands of old Scotland
on his return there was to be a wedding
which would make two hearts grow glad.
The ship sailed away, and after many
weary days of a long passage/reached the
far Indies. There good news was. found
in the fact that a charter was waiting for
the vessel to load to Galveston. "Galves-
ton 1 The states 1 Surely the next charter
will take us to a port on the continent or
home, and then—well, then," and he got
out the photograph of that face he knew
and loved so well. Galveston at last. Yes,
a cargo Is offering for an European port.
But the owners, who think not of kirks
and lads and lassies and heartaches and
longings, had to be consulted. With them
it was a cold-blooded matter of business,
in which the precious cold pound was to
decide the day. The skipper was as anx-
ious for a sight of bonny Scotland as his
mate, though he said never a word. One
day he boarded his vessel after a trip
ashore. This skipper is a man of mood*.
Sometimes he gets into a mood when it is
safest to walk forward when Mr. Skipper
walks aft. Something was wrong aboard
that craft. The crew quickly discovered
this. But what was it? What ailed the
old man? A cable. Two little words.
That was all, but it was enough. It had
knocked the plans of that ship's company
into a cocked hat. Her owners had char-
tered her for a voyage to the South seas,
and a year or more will have swept over
her before there is a chance of her float-
ing in Scottish waters again. That is
why the mate is In a bad humor and had
a hard luck story to tell the ancient mar-
iner.
"Go to sea," said be. "If ever I set foot
in Scotland again I'll be a shoemaker lirst.
Here I've counted the hours until I should
be laying a course for home. Every way
I'd figure the thing it would come out
that we would be bound to get a charter
home, and here we go, hopping away off
to the other end of the earth, to be gone
the Lord knows how long. So it's romance
of the sea you talk about. If there's nnv
romance in that I'd like to know where it
comes in," uml he proceeded to smash the
little tokens he had for that bonny lass at
home.
There is perhaps some one beside the
mate who will not like the "last charter."
and who, If she had her way. could a tale
unfold wherein a life on the ocean wave
would be pictured in a way that the ro-
mancers or the sea would fail to recognize
their familiar picture.

THE RULE OF THE ROAD AT SEA.
Liverpool Journal of Commerce.
The following letter has been received
from the president of the board of trade
by Mr. Fen wick Fen wick and Mr. Walter
Holland:
"With reference to your letter of the Dtli
instant, regarding rule J5 of the proposed
revised regulations for preventing colli-
sions at sea. 1 am directed by the board of
trade to state that since your letter was
received the president has been asked in
the house of commons to consent to a se-
lect committee of the house to Inquire into
the point at Issue. This he 1,*-v greed to
because he feels that even aiu .ittL that
has passed no objection should be raised
by this department to an authoritative ex-
amination of the arguments of those who
oppose the adoption of the revised regula- |
tlons as it stands." The letter then pro-
ceeds to deal seriatim with the objections j
raised to the rule, and the oresldent says: 1
"As regards the position of this matter at
the present moment, it appears to the !
board of trade that the necessity of se- j
curing that identical rules of the sea !
should be adopted by the several maritime
states outweighs any objection to article
l". of the revised rules which you now, at
the eleventh hour, press upon them. To 110
power is it so important as to Great Brit-
ain that an improved and uniform code of
regulations should be put in force. It is
admitted that these regulations contain
many useful changes, and were they to be
dropped or an attempt made to have them
modified by lresh negotiations many years
might pass before an equally favorable op-
portunity for securing such a code would
recur. A valuable international agreement
has now been arrived at after a long and
full debate among the powers, and the
board of trade Is of the opinion that no
worse service could be done to shipowners
themselves than to disturb it without the
gravest reasons."
LONG TOW BY A LIVERPOOL BOAT.
The Liverpool steam tug company's
screw tug Blazer has left the Mersey to
i undertake what is probably the longest tow
| on record. The Blazer Is engaged now to
! tow the Italian steamer Colombo from Rio
j de Janeiro o Genoa. The Colombo, about
I three months ago. was towed into Rio
with her shaft broken, and since that time
i has been lying in that harbor. She was
j bound from Santos to Rio to load when the
1 accident happened. The distance from Llv-
: erpool to Rio is. roughly, about (5000 miles,
I while from Rio to Genoa is something like
! the same distance, so that both ways the
tug will cover a distance of about 12,000
i miles to perform the task. The Blazer only
j recently returned to Liverpool after float-
I ing the stranded French steamer Rhone
! and towed her to Grand Canary. The Co-
lombo, which is now to be towed, is a large
steamer of 2394 tons register, so that the
tow will be a heavy as well as a long one.
