TORONTO, Oct 1.-THE evening Telegram
special cable despatch from London states that
a special general meeting of stockholders of thu
Great Western Railway held today the project
of amalgamatng with the Grand Trunk Rail-
way was duly considered, the proposition being
finally rejected by an overwhelming majority.
The proposition was that the Great Western
Railway should pay to the Grand Trunk line
225,00O pounds sterling as restal for the use o f
the whole of the latter's lines west of Toronto
including Buffalo and Lake Huron, Interna-
tional Bridge and St. Clair ferries. Mr.. Chill
ders, President of the road, 10 long speech,

discreditable acts of the Grand Trunk Railway

Presidency of the Grand Trunk line and Capt.
Tyler has been appointed to succeed him.
There is unusual stir in railway circles. MIR.
