1t Is still q. matter OF Mucn Speculatl0h
whether the Lake Shore tra.n which leaves
this city ut $50 p. ILL., today will make the
time between Chicago and New York III
twenty-six hours rs stated Nome OF the all
nouncemcnts AMI statements regarding Tan-
derbilt's ''liu,ited express Which is tn ruu
in opposition to the pennsyiyania's llu!-
tied express have come from ot:l-
cial sources One should think that
If the Lake Shore and New York
Central really meant to run Il fast express
as stated, they would make official announce
1nent OF the fact, and plnce aii matters IT.
sar.lns it before the public. The facts semi
officially given OUT regarding the new rraln
are that it is to commence running today. anA
would leave at the saue time rs the regular
fast express did heretofore. The lnake-,p
Of the train. Us stated yesterday, is to bu
about the same rs that Of the regular $50
express. Tlaescl1etlule published also showed
that the train Is To ruiz but little fuster than
the old train which left here at the sattle
time, and that all the ,.ilin iii time Will b4
| made OH tie New York Central By making
only four or five stops between Buffalo aint
| New York instead Ut about twenty rs here
| tofore. As Stated previously, All this lntor-
| naton came from selll"otliciaf sources. aiiu
it is not known for certain whether the Ea!l-
G.e7blIt people really mean to carry tue plai..
! Ollt or NOT.
| 1t was rnmored last evening that the idea
| of running Il limited fast express" over
the Vanderbilt roads had been given up tor
| the present. butt what grounds there wero
!; for these ruilors cotlfu not be aScer ra1ned,
all the Michigan Southern officials III this
| city cfai.isng to know nothing about tia
Ihe Pennsylvania Railroad. BY putting on
| a limited fast express, seems ~ have sue-
| cce.led in pIHcng Mr.. Vanderbilt III an awk-
ward position, anu llc dues not yet see!1i to
be fully decided what course TO pursue IL
| the luatter, and this Is 10 ttuubt thtt
reason why the. Information given out
SO far regarding the new train is Of suell 4
contradictory nature. Mr. Vanderbilt
evidently does not like to .s'1t n fast train.
bpt the action Ut the Pennsylvania ratiler
forces him to make the same time or lose his
remuneratiyc 1uail contract. The astnuu!lre-
u,ent came frou, New York 4 few days ago
that PoStl.laster-t:eneral James, having long
between the East and the Pacific coast.
| had perfected arrangements by Which
the United States ,nail would hereafter
bt. carried one slay and Il half unleker from
New York to San Francisco than heretofore
Trains carrying the mail between Chlcaso
alui New iork would make faster line:
Vanderbilt. who las the mail contract, Will
therefore bc compelled to make rs fast time
Us the Pennsylvania or else lose the CONTRACT,
and Let the latter take 1t. l: ii l1 doubt lor
