AT the recent meeting and election OF
directors Of the Kansas Pacific stockhold-
ers, at Lawrence, three Union Pacific men
we're included in the board, ~
has Lecn done nj the last two elections
seems to he ignored by certain parties and
forthwith they rush into print, and an-
nource that now Jay Gould has control Of
the X. p. for sure. This is not 30. and
Gould M more controls the Kansas Pacific
than he did two years ago. "A announced
in the Journal a week since. Gould IL buy
ing n2 the securities Of the X. p. road and
probably at the mex, election he can name
the board Of directors. A Joarn,d represen-
ta,ive had q long talk with Mr.. Carr, in ST.
Louis few days since. ard that gentleman
reiterated what is said above. II is all
imp,rtant, however. that that the pro rate
bill passes Congress and becomes Law, for
in that case, any complaint a. to unjust
rates can and will be settled Sy the commits
sioners. Al the present time beth roads are
working tremendously and Mr.. T. F. Oake..
general superintendent OF the Kansas Pa
ciiic. leaves Tor Ne- York to-day or to-mOr-
row, TO confer with Mr.. Gould about run
n,ng the through train from Kansas City to
the Pacific coast. Mr.. Oakes goes with
the full power to act and there Is q pros
pect almost to q certainty that the next
ten days will see through train running
from Kansas City to San Francisco by way
Of Denver. The advantages Of such .
change may he easily seen, and there is not
no dpub, whatever that much Of the over J
land travel will hereafter come over this
route. Rates for both passengers AMI freight
will be the same from Kansas City through |
~ from Omaha, and there will NO discrimi- !
nation in favor Of the main line. The
through train will most likely use the Col
orado Central line from Denver to Chey-
enne. Gould controls that line and the
Denver Pacific ia in the hands Of the United
States Court. While Congress has been
away at this pro rate bill the
respective arrangements Of the two roads
have gone to work and accomplished what
the enforcement Of the Law would bring
.bou.. This new line will prove Of incal-
rulahle good tn Kansas City, and il ia hoped
The change will prove hens6cia, to the X.
r. road "a we'll. There il to be no change
in the general management Of the road, and
al the old and experienced officials are to
rem.in. ANY change in this respect could
but prove disastrous.-Ka nsas City Journal.
