Inrestlng in Ren1 Estate.

In the natures of most railroad men Of i'm
mcnse wealth there is a grain of conservatism
which causes them to invest more or less
money in real estate. The Vanderbilts, it is
stated, lean decidedly in favor Of such invest
ments. In England and France they have
permanently invested several million dollars.

MONTREAL, August Tt is reported
that at the meeting of the directors of
the Canadian Pacific, to. day, Sir George
Stephens will probably resign the pres
idency in favor of W. G. Van Horne
partly to put practical railroad man
at the head of the company. and partly
owing to the bitter opposition of
American roads around by the effort of
the Canadian Pacific to get trsnsconti-
mental business under the operation of
the Interstate law.
At full meeting of the directors of
the Canadian Paciric to-day, the res
ignation of Sir George Stephens was
accepted. Van Horne was unanimously
appointed in his place. Hon. Levi P.
Morton, candidate for Vice President of
the United States, also sent in his res
ignation as director, which was &C.
oepted, and Hon. D. A. McInnes,
Senator, was appointed in his place.
The appointment OF vice-president
has not yet been made.

WASHINGTON, August THE Senate
tariff sub committee is still at work
early and late upon the details of the
tariff bill, with the determination to
make all possible changes in the origt-
nal draft before it is reported to the
full committee in the Senate. expecting
thereby to bring out q measure which
the majority in The Senate can stand by
as whole. 1t is at the same time
giving brief informal hearing to all who
come, 1t began this morning the
final revision of the measure in
detail, and hopes to have the work
completed this week. There is a prob
ability that three or four controverted
points will be passed over by the sub
committee for the present, and a Dos
sibility that it may be submitted to the
caucus for ultimate decision.
The regular weekly meeting of the
finance committee which takes place on
Tuesday was not held to-day. It is
not expected that Democrats OF the
finance committee will care to delay the
measure in the committee, but it is
thought that probably they will re-
serve such criticism as they NAV have
to make for the debate in open SEES
