BALTIMORE, May 16. 1t is rumored that the
Pennsylvania Coal Company have made a new
contract with the Erie Railway for the trans
portation of coal at a very material reduction
on the old arrangement. 1t is stated that a
recent pooling agreement of trunk lines is on
basis of 80 per cent. each for the New York
Central and Erie, % for the Pennsylvania
Central and for the Baltimore & Ohio. The
agents of these companies have been instructed
not to renew the existing contracts, many of
which terminate in June or July.
NEW YORK, May 16-It is stated that the
m ovement of Chase & Atkins to secure proxies
in the Michigan Central stock for the coming
election, is an effort to give the Canada South
eru road a controlling power in the Michigan
Central board of directors and build up the
Lake Shore road on the ruins of the Michigan
Central. This it is claimed, cannot but be in
furious to the business interests of New Eng
land where the largest portion of the Michigan
Central stock and securities are owned. 1t is
even charged that the Chase & Atkins party
are determined to break down these securities
by managing the Michigan Central in the
Lake Shore Vanderbilt interest or by absolute
reputation, while the present management,
composed of such men as Moses Taylor, August
Belmont, John j. Astor, Samuel Sloan, Isaac
Bell, Nathaniel Thayer and others, have stated
in the strongest terms that the obligations of
the Michigan Central shall be held in violate
