Robert Harris, president of the Northern
I,1-
tary, Harry Wadsworth, arrived yesterday

Nothing definite has yet been announced
regarding the general managership of the
Wabash, but it is expected that man will be
secured within few days. The identity of
the eastern man-one of the four to whom
the position is to be offered in rotation-was
discovered yesterday in E. B. Phillips, presi-

the first choice of Receiver Humphreys. His /,
name is thought to come last on the list

st. Louis papers that the receivers of the
Wabash still entertain hopes of securing the
services of Mr.. c. H. Chappell, of the Chi

road If they really have such hopes they
should abandon them at once, as Mr.. Chap
pell has no idea of accepting the position
no matter how big inducements may be offer
ed him. 1t does not appear that a formal
offer of the position has been made to Mr..
J. E. Tucker, late traffic manager of the Il

the dark horse from the east referred to a
few days ago will get the position. The man
turns out to be George Fl. Burrows, superin-
tendent of the New York Central, and for
merly with the Wabash. He is said to be- an
unusually efficient manager and q popular
