Tnc Gazrttk railroad reporter called
on Gen Dodge yesterday and found the
gentleman busy with his prlvato eecro
tary tclcgtams bids papew and other
Important document spread out on the
desk beforo him Ocn Dodge on first
sight strikes one as being as great an ex-
ecutive dfllcor as a gonernl whlcn he Is In
iact lie Is strictly business and has
a capacity lor work excelled by no man
While slightly gray ho appears to bo a
roan of forty or fortyuvo years ot age
with a bright eye wellknit frame nnd
longevity stamped on every featuro and
apparent In every act Tho general Is
courteous and kind not tho courtesy of
form but tho true real article
Gen Dodge lhavo been Instructed to
call on you by tho managing editor of
Tnu Qazutti nnd ask you In regard to
Tallroad matters First I would like to
know what answer you made to the Mon-
tague committee which called on you to-
day I told them I would look over the
proposed road
General what about tho operations of
tho Panhandle Construction company In
bnlldlng tho Fort Worth Denver extcn
slonWo havo commenced wirk beyond
Quanah already wo liavo not dono much
yet but tho road will be built at onco
nnd Gov Evans will extend tbo Denver
Texas Gulf to a connection This may
bo stated to a certainty Uolore 1 left
Now York 1 had purchased all the maj
terlal for tho work and havo let a number
of contracts to patties scattered all over
tho stato of Texas 1 telegraph
for bids for ivbat wo wont
nnd It tho bid suits I accept It at once
I have bought twtlvo locomotives and 800
cars for tho road In addition to tho ma-
terial All supplies and material wilt
corao through Fort Worth and from
Quanah wo will begin operation and
store largo quantities of material Tho
present extension of tho road will reach
Quanah about tho middle of January
What pruspects havo you for coal on
tho road
We have coal In abnndanco and of a
quality nearly It not quite equal to Pitts
burg coal This wo get In the Trinidad
coul llelds Tho Fort Worth Denver
passes right through this coal which
stands out on cither side of the track
twenty to thirty foot Inch This la
a coko coal and our road can lay
It down In Fort Worth as cheap
If not cheaper than the coal now used
hero Denver uses this coal and also
has as good coal nearer to that city
II < 1 tho Fort Worth Denver any In-
tention general of building to tho south-
east
No that Is for others to do Wo havo
enough to tako care of In our lino when
built through but a road to tbo longleaf
pine region from Fort Worth would be a
good thing
What about building from Calof Klley
or above Uodgo a track of our own to
tho city
It may become necessary to havo an
additional track laid on too Transconti
nental on which wo now come in under
lease from the Missouri Pacific but there
are so many roads coming In from tho
north wo will havo no trouble
General what do you think of Fort
Worth
You havo a flue city
What about tho future prospects
Fort Worth will bo tho great distribut-
ing point tor all of Ndrth Texas Your
matchless terminal facilities brings this
nbout and this is tho great reason all
tho railroads nro coining horo Tho Texas
Pacific Missouri Paclllo and other roads
havo ample ground for tracks on which
to do all tho IniHluess necessary at a great
distributing point No other city lu any
part of North Texas has facilities for
doing moro thau tho local business
while horo tho wotk of distribution can
be done under tho most advantageous
circumstances Some of this work is
even dono horo now
What effect will tho roads to tho
noithwest through Bailey county into
New Mexico havo on tho Denver
Gen Dodgo inquired tho routo of tho
Fort Worth Westuru and Southern Kan-
sas and after oxamlnlng a largo map of
Texas replied they nro too far off to
nflect us Tho Panhandle la n mngnltl
cent agatcrltural country and will before
long boflllod up with agriculturists wbllo
the cattle will movo out Whon I first
came to Fort Worth tho land about this
city was considered worso than tho Fan
hamllo and you see what It Is now not-
withstanding you had prohibition In this
section this year
What do yon thluk about tho reorgan-
ization of tho Texas Pacific
There will havo to bo foreclosure
ilrst that being a part of all tho plans as
1 understand it mid I sco no movo to
that end at present Tho recolvcrs nro
getting the road lu Una condition
What do you think of Judgo Grcshams
decision in tho Wabash case
Tha Is n question for lawyors and I
do not want to bo quotod In regard to it
but I notice one thing and that Is tho de
cision takes strong ground for tho rights
of bondholders and thts will havo tho ef
fect of giving capitalists conlldonce in
that class of securities
Goneral whoro will a great Union
depot In Fort Worth bo located
Tho Union depot location will never
bo moved far from whoro it now Is from
tho junction of the Mlasonrl Pacific Santa
Fe Texas lnciflc and Fort Worth
Denver When a larger one Is bnllt It
may bo located on the vacant ground to
tho right of whoro It now Is but tho In-
terests centering there aro too great to
admit of Inovlug It any distance Alt tho
ronds can easily reach It and tho Houston
Texas Central should bo thcro now
Gcu Dodgo evinced a lively Interest

projects and pointed out on

Indicated In tho conversation tho Gulf

ing session of the Trades union confer-
ence was unproductive ot results and
owing to tho slowness of procedure It
wns decided to hold a night session A
committee was instructed to insist upon
a settlement of tho trades union treaty
promulgated at Cleveland In July The
convention thon took noon recess
The Federated congress will meet this
afternoon and It Is expected an amalga-
mation will bo formed today Thcro
has been llttlo ot Interest of au official
character obtnlued In regard to tho cor
ferencoof the trades unions this after-
noon An occurrence looked upon as tho
most lmportaut was tbo second meeting
of tho Trades union and Knights of Labor
committee Both sides were non com-
municative as to what was done but it Is
claimed that tho Knights of Labor com-
mittee refuse to take any notion as to the
tradoi union treaty promulgated nt Clove
land In July which was in substance a
demand upon tho Knights to rcraovo all
charters granted any assembly that exists
whero thero is a union of that trade
Tho trades committee insisted on a settle-
ment on tho basis of this treaty Tho
spirit and business of tho conference can
only bo secured bv general talk on tho
streets Tho minutes furnished by tho
secrotary in their meager outline convoy
but llttlo Information as to what Is being
done Mr Klrbchner made a personal
explanation In regard to a charge promul-
gated against him by Mr McFearley of
tho Knights of Labor commllteo respect-
ing his action in inducing tho cigar
makers of New York to replace
Kulghts of Labor clgarmakcrs in
Philadelphia who had been on a strike
for what they considered a reduction of
wages by the introduction by tho manu-
facturers of lowpriced cheroots into tho
factory whero Cubans and Knlghti of
Labor woro working
A fight was made on tho political reso-
lutions but after being amended thor-
oughly was adopted
Whereas political action is a subject
which has been In tho past prolific ot
somo discussion and troublo In tho ranks
of tho worklngmeu but happily a revolu-
tion was recently witnessed In tho
election contests in Several states
bv tho remarkable and extraordinary
demonstration made by tho worklngmen
of Milwaukee Chicago aud other cities
shows us tho time has now arrived when
tho working people should decide upon
the necessity of united action as citizens
ut tho ballot box Independent of existing
political parties and
Whereas tho necessity of this Is ap-
parent from tho subjection of police pow-
ers to tbo Interest of corporate capital
enforcing npon their employes conditions
repulslvo to free labor and liberty and
If tho nefarious work of tho Pinker
ton Detective agoncy Is to bo workers
roust securo a greater share of political
power therefore bo It
Kesolved thut this convention pledges
a most gonerous support to an Independ-
ent political movement of worklngmen
A resolution asking congress to pass a
compulsory indenture for tho District of
Columbia and territories was adopted
Tho conference resolved Itself into a
trades congress nbout i p id and when
tho congress adjourned it was understood
tho conference of tho trades would form
nn amalgamation and when the congress
adjourned this session It will bo sine dlo

Chairman Houso of tho Powderly com
mltteo reports tonight their conference
with trades commllteo resulted In an un
derstanding that negotiations on tho ba
sts of tho tradesunion treaty was out of
the question and beforo conference tho
tradesunion men talked very fairly and a
tacit understanding was reached Ho
said his committee would rcpott to tho
national executive board and in
cose such commltteo wcro continued to
settle all grievances that might arise ho
believed there would never bo any seri
ous troublo between the Knlchts of Labor
and trades unions Tho Knights pre-
ferred peace and would concede polntB to
secure It when necessary but revoking
chaiturs ot Knights of Labor assemblies
could not bo considered

truth of which Is verified by tho late

Is nearly seventy feet higher than that of
