NEW ERIE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF THE MISSION
OF SIR EDWARD wATKIN.

a
OF SIR EDWARD wArKIN.
In Wow or the nows cabled from Europe, touch
ing Sir Edward Watkins action in Eric matters,
HKRAD reporter waited yesterday afternoon on ono OF
the best known and most prominent ofthe Erie drec-
tors. He elected the following statement:-The visit
of Sir Edward Watkins committee has satisfied them
that the road is in excellent condition; but that 1t is
overloaded with debt, which, the interest OF all
stockholders, will have TO be dealt with as ably and
promptly as possible There be doubt that the
appointing OF q receiver was cause OF
serious alarm the other side, and was
the main OF the visit of Sir Edward
watkin and his committee to this country But he
cav a very short time that such action was in the
best interests of the line and was imperativey de-
manded unless considerable interests sacrificed
Mr. Jewett's receivershp gives perfect satisfaction,
and will probably be continued for at least two
years Although receiver has been appointed, still
the directors continue advise and act just If things
were in their normal condition 1t can hardly be said
that the visit of Sir Edward intended to embrace
thorough financial overhauling of the affairs of the
company but rather TO report upon the condition OF
the road ana us management ana 70 report 70 EURO
pean but more especially to English) bond and stock
holders the which he considers necessary for
unreasonable protection ofthe interests These interests
represent about $50, 900 900 and practically give the
English holders the control of the road There is, con
sequeny doubt that such suggestions as are made
by Sir Edward and the committee will be unhesitangly
adopted II is not supposed that such suggestions will
at all interfere with the working management of the
road it stands but they may embrace the appoint
ment of few directors of the present Board
resignng make places for selections favored by the
committee. So far from any obstacle being placed in
the way of such action most of the members OF the
present Board of Directors would be only happy
resign and make place for the nominees
of the European stock and bond holders, IL
thereby increased confidence would be the result the
other SIDE The present directors would look on their
resignation as a great relief from very
sponsbity, but far, such proposed change has not
involved than two three seats in the direction
There be doubt that favorable report from Sir
Edward will go far to strengthen Erie in the European
markets, but is not known here, except to Sir Ed
wards committee, what the report exactly will be
did the above mentioned director believe that the Lon
don Standard could be in possession of any detailed
basis OF settlement.
