CONFERENCE OF RAILROAD NEN.
CHICAGO, Juno la number ofpromi-
nent railroad men are In the city, quarter
ed at the new Pacific Hotel which has
Just been opened to the public, and among
them are Horace F. Clark and Augustus
Schell of New York, John Duff Of BOs-
ton, John F. Tracy and n. L. Skies. A
good deal Of interest has been created by
the rumor that the New York Central in
terest had obtained control Of majority
Of tho stock of the Northwestern and Of
the Chicago, Rock Island s. Pacific rail-
road, and would, at tho annual election Of
directors, which occurs here on Wednes-
day next, make q radical change In the
management, throwing out Mr.. Tracy and
his friends. While 1t IS truethat Mr., Clark
and his associates now hold majority Of
the Northwestern stock and large inter-
est In the Rock Island s. Pacific, the law
which permits the election Oi only
three directors at any annual election,
would prevent an immediate radical
change in the management oi either, but
it is now understood That the interest ol
the New York Central will be best sub.
served by retaining Mr.. Tracy In the
Presidency of the roads mentioned, and
who may be elected to the directory on
Wednesday, will not interfere with his
management.
