Little can bo learned in Chicago concern
ing the deal between the Atchison , Topeka
it Santa Fa nnd Denver & KIo Grande. At
the oftlccs of the Uock Island and Burlington
no doflnito information us to the status of
affairs bad boon received , although both of
thcso roads tnko keen interest in the matter
because the Ulo Grande is their principal con
nection west of Denver , Colorado Springs
and Puoblo. It is freely predicted that the
acquisition of the Kto Grande by the Atchi
son , or the formation of n close trafllc
contract between tha two roads , would force
the Burlington to cross the Hocky mountains.
It Is suggested by sorao thai Gould Is In the
deal. It nas boon known for somq tlmo that
Gould and hi friends are largo holders of
Atchison. Gould Is also n largo holder of
Denver & Ulo Grando. How much ho has
nobody knows exactly , but it is a good-sized
slice.
A CIIICAOO coxnr ISLAND.
The subject Is being discussed of building
a big Island In the lake for a sanitarium and
ploasura resort. There nro lying off Jackson
pnrk some two or three rocks under water on
which the United States eovornmont Is now
keeping buoys , Some of thorn have but eight
to ten feet of water over them , and It is ar
gued thnt If they were used , properly direct
ed , as dumping places for drodcings and ether -
or solid matter which is now an
nually going to waste or even
occasioning exposure Chicago would soon
have nil the Islands of the kind described she
would need. The rapid growth of the city
will force the municipal authorities to think
of some other way than the ones now in
vogue for disposing of excavated soil nnd
other refuse. The city Is now pretty nearly
raised to grade , nnd the matter of
ashes nlono is of sufllcient magni
tude to soon bother tbo ofllclals
what to do with. Between -1,000,000 nnd
5,000,000 tons of soil nro annually burned In
this town , giving ashes to the amount of
1,000.000 cubic yards. This nlono would dote
to raise an island of twenty-five acres with
every year. Such an island would make Chicago
cage the greatest summer resort in the
world. If possible , it would bo the Coney
island of Chicago , only freed from its objec
tionable features , and much moro conveniently
located , so as to allow anbody to lleo from
the city on a hot night and drink in the cool
freezes of the Inito that ho would bo sure
to flnd there nt nny tlmo. A company was
incorporated in 1884 for tha purpose of car
rying out this idea , but the schema finally
fell through.

I interviewed Archbishop Casnnovn todny

that Cnill's republican Institutions nro now
firmly secured for the future. The different
political parties nro now working
in accord to repair the past damages
that the country hns undergone in
the effort to clvo Chill a staple constitutional
government. Ono of the principal causes
that led to the revolution tha determination
to secure freedom of ballot electoral liberty ,
uhlch was much desired by nil is now as
sured.
"Wo of the church also hope that extended
liberty will bo given to it nnd nlso to clerical
institutions. Ail the past governments have
abused the constitution because they behoved
revolution Impossible. The bounds wore
reached and then Chill's bravo sons would
bear the burden no longer. With n peed
government , such as wo hope for , wo
can resume the care of beneficial
enterprises , acting only when necessary for
the administration and tbo fostering of tbo
grand idoas. The ropublio will soon regain
all she lost nnd the revolution will bo the
moans of bringing happiness to Chili. "
