The property to be sold consists of all ihe premises and property, real, personal and mixed, rights, privileges, Immunities and franchises of the railway company, and wheresoever situated, Including the ontlro main line of railway of the Texas Western railway company, commencing at the city of Houston and running or extending In a westerly direction through the counties of Harris, Fort Bend, Waller, and Austin, to the town of Sealy in Austin cpunty, a distance of about fifty-three miles; and also all the roadways, sidetracks, switches, depot grounds, stations, superstructures, bridges, water tanks, section houses, car and engine houses, machine shops, repair shops, road, beds, rights of way, terminal facilities, lands, buildings, erections and structures and all and singular the equipments, tools, Implements, cars, locomotives and other rolling: stock, machinery, materials, furniture and other personal property belonging or pertaining to or acquired, or useii or intended for the use and purposes of said railway or the operation or maintenance thereof; and also all the chartered rights, libftrties, privileges, immunities and franchises said railway company, and all property used In the operation and management and construction of said road.

As Texas seems to te 1 taxiing; in radlnoad building and investments just at this time I Is -expected that something interesting will be developed in railroad circles in connection with the purchase of the Texas -Western railway, which may result In advantage to both cms ton and Galveston, RUMORS.ABOUT S. H. H. CLARK.

H. H. Clark, who Is-now in St. Lou la, authorizes an explicit and emphatic denial of the story that he Is about to abandon his present position and return to the presidency of the Missouri Pacific, says St. Louis Republic.

The rumor has been circulated industriously during the last- two or three weeks, and has been mentioned several times In dispatches from New York. Mr. Clark says, however, that Is Is absolutely without foundation, 4 and that 'does not understand how it gained credence '-or -currency. The matter has never been considered or even mentioned by himself or Mr. Gould.

Speaking Union Pacific matters, Mr, Clark said, that It was Impossible, to foretell the outcome of-the roatl'o troubles. The uncertainty which existed as to the government's, attitude and the apparent impossibility of effecting a settlement, of the government- debt effectually blocked all progress toward reorganization. He thought that the dismemberment of the syatern--effected by the appointment of separate receivers for various properties- was an unfortunate thing for both branches so lopoed off, and for the trunk -line. The failure of crops in a number of western states had injured the Union Pacific seriously, and its normally heavy business in Colorado had been reduced to an exceedingly low point by the collapse of the silver mining Industry. Mr.

Clark will remain in St. Louis until The end of the week, when he will go to New York on business. He called on Vice President Warner and a number of friends yesterday. IMPORTANT TRAFFIC MEETING. Dallas, April Day has called a meeting of the Southwestern traffic association at Lookout Inn, Chattanooga, on April 9.

It will he remembered that the railroad commission of Texas adjourned its hearing on the jobbers' tariff question to await the action of the Southwestern association upon assurance by the traffic men present a they would do everything In their power to have the association take action in order that the Interstate locals may be adjusted to any changes In Texas.

On account of the importance of this question there will be a very full attendance of Texas traffic men at the meeting. KATT'S KANSAS HEADQUARTERS.
