the various branches of passenger traffic. Rep
resentatives of eleven companies doing immi-
grant business from the seaboard cities, with
termini north of and including Philadelphia, are
now engaged in the formation of what is to be
known as the Immigrant Clearing house." The

1t includes roads connected with ocean steam
ship lines landing in New York. Philadelphia,
Boston, Portland, Montreal and Quebec. These
steamship lines are in favor Of the plan and their
representatives are to meet with the railroad men
and assist in its perfection. The clearing house
will be located in New York, and will be under the
advisory control of the joint executive committee.

from which all immigrant business from the
seaboard will be controlled, The project in

Trouble Over q Crossing.

HOWELL, Mich, Jan. 4-There is liable to be
trouble over the railroad war between the Toledo,
Anu Arber e Northern Michigan and the Detroit
& Lansing Northern railroads. There has been
a dispute about the right of the former road to
cross the latters track in extending its line, and
the case was brought into court and appealed 1t
is now pending the appeal to another court
Yesterday morning force of about $50 Toledo
Ann Arbor 81 Northern Michigan employees were
brought to.the point of the projected crossing
and began work, digging under the Lansing
road They made cut, braced up the track of
the Lansing road, and constructed the line of
the Toledo road under it. The workers were
protected by armed force, which left last
night when the work was complete. This morn
ing about 500 men were brought on the scene by
the Lansing road people, and they will proceed
to fill up the cut made under their road There
are $50 men on the ground in the interest of the
Toledo 81 Ann Arbor road. and there may be vio-
lence before the cut is filled. The Lansing force
is armed, but the Toledo men have no arms to
day.
The Toledo & Ann Arbor force this afternoon.
drove away the force of the Lansing road people
from the bridge and the cut, which were forciby
made last night. The telegraph wires were cut
and the road torn up. The traffic of the road
between Genoa and Fowlervlle is now inter-
rupted. WHAT the next step will be is matter of
doubt. An appeal was made to Governor Alger
to-day for assistance, but he declared he had no
authority to call the militia except at the re.
quest of the sheriff, which has not yet been made
