Railroad InrestirntInn.

SARATOGA, August 2S.-At the railroad
investigation to-day, VIM. H. Vanderbilt
was examined as to the relation Of the New
York Centeral and Wagner Sleeping and
Parlor Car Companies.
Mr.. Vanderbilt deemed it an advantage
if the evener system was broken up. The
system as now existing is that every man
acts "a his own evener. We now giveship-
pers the rate OF so cents il they ship as the
road directed, and 90 cents il they ship as
they please, thus giving shippers the re-
bate formerly given to evenefs.
Mr.. Vanderbilt being asked IL he had
read certain portion Of the letter he had
issued coniointly with Mr.. Jewett, answer.
ed: "What do you suppose l keep one
hundred or five hundred employees for II
am to do the work myself?"
Vanderbilt said that through competition
he might be and had been compelled 10
haul forty car loads from Chicago at loss.
Buffalo being point from which there
is much transportation, and where there is
much competition by canals and other
roads, prices from there to New York are
very nearly as low as from Chicago. He
said II the Legislature compelled them to
carry New York freight for their proper
tion on similar freight from Chicago, it
would simply compel the roads TO lose
money on all their business. 1t would
drive them out Of the business, and drive
them out OF competition with rival roads.
They could not live on local business. He
had transported freight from Chicago TO
New York within year at loss. The
road carried while he was in Europe 1000
cars OF cattle at 81 per car; had carried
flour for II cents per hundred pounds, and
out Of that II cents paid cents for light
erage.
He thought a general law regulating
transportation over all roads would Re
beneficial.
A member Of the committee said: ~
have an instance in mind where man
shipping from Toledo to New York was
charged $3.50 per car, while from Toledo
to Syracuse he was charged $50, all the
circumstances being alike. Do you con-
slider that a discrimination against the
citizens OF Syracuse?"
Mr.. Vanderbilt-"I don't know that
there are two locals, one to New York
and one to Syracuse. The cars pass
Syracuse. The reason for making these
rates is due to competition"

be submitted to the meeting OF stock
holders at the Town Hall, in Waynes-

been prepared and, stripped OF its legal
verbiage, provides that the lessees are to
pay of the debt OF the company, with the

willing that any change shall be made in
the management at this time.
