THE THROUGH RAILWAY Commemorative
learn, though the terms of agreeme mt are not
yet known, that the difficulty which has exist
ed between the Pennsylva railroad company
now controlling the Northern Central and
the Baltimore and Potomac roads-and the
Union railroad company of THIS city has been
practically settled. This difficulty has up to
this time prevented the use of the Union rail-
way tunnel, and the Pennsylvania company
has been running its through trains between
New York and Washington by way of Columbia
and York, thus lengthening the route about so
miles. On Monday next, or as soon thereafter
as the Union railway company completes its
connection with the Baltimore & Philadelphia
road at Canton, this route will be abandoned,
and the direct connection with the east will be
made by the completed tunnel and over the
Baltimore & Philadelphia road as heretofore.
Exactly what will be the result of this ar
rangement upon the passenger traffic over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad cannot be known
until the policy of the Pennsylvania railroad
company is developed. The latter road con-
trolls entirely the depot at New York and the
road thence TO Philadelphia, and has its indie
pendent connection with Washington by the
Potomac road. or course, both roads will con-
tend for the passenger traffic, but whether or
not the contest will be kept within certain limits
is yet 10 be seen. The Pennsylvania road has 1t
in its power to refuse to sell tickets at New
York TO passengers via the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, or to receive It's coupons between
Philadelphia and New York.-Balt. american.

paper-probably enough to manufacture mil
lion and a quarter of cards per day. 1t will be
remembered that the Postmaster General origi-

required the first year. Up to date the reQui-

this covers only the first quarter of the year.
So great has been the demand for the cards
that none of the small country towns have yet
been supplied with them.
