The New York Chronicle has the follow.

without doubt Mr.. Gould was the moving

anew to the various schemes which tpat gen

entire trade Of the wes. and south aes', BY
buying up the leading lines in those sections
is by this time too patent to need any
demchstration. His success ia also suG
GENTLY clear, for west Of St. Louis and Kan

virtually no competitor worthy 10 DO calld
such except the Atchison, Topeka Il

But ". 10 obvious that Mr.. Gould seeks TO
have undor his own management eastern
entrances to the sea for The large traffic those

The south western lines terminate Mt 81

termini at points on the Missouri river,
from Kansas City to Omaha. The Wabast
exteDs these systems to Chicago, Toled
and Detroit. For points further east, the
lines of other companies have hitherto been
used. To avoid this in future, efforts have
oflate been and are now being made to SO.
cure an eastern system.
