closes with the following letter:
To II. j. Jewett, President, New York
| have received your telegram of
yesterday. The Baltimore and Ohio
adlleres to its determination
to maintain its independent relations.
1t cannot, therefore, submit the con-
troll of its policy and business either to
other railway companies or to third
parties. In order to restore harmOnyt the
railroad company must
retrace its steps. The reckless reduc-
ton of rates by that company will
prove illusory in accomplishing the
object proposedsby forcing the Balti-
timore aud Ohio company into any
com bination contrary to the fixed prin-
ciples of its management. Good will
follow from the present extraordinary
course of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The serious lesson which will he taught
by the history of the present wild hos
tilities against the Baltimore and Ohio
company will lead to calmer
to more good sense and to
fairer dealings in the future. | thank
you for your courteous and friendly
]. W. GARRETT.
