Hartford, Ct, to the Times, says the text of
bill to be introduced at the opening Of the
next session Of Congress, involving the most
gigantic scheme of railroad consolidation
ever candidly discussed in this country, Is
now being printed in thas city.
A Chicago firm is publishing maps Illus
trating the consolidation and tracks over
the country to supply the business.
The fundamental idea makes Boston the
metropolis of this continent.
The plans include the absorption Of the
Canadian rivals with the American system,
and the establishment OF the greatest rail-
road power in the world. The Willard sys-
TEN is the only one not embraced. The
Union and Northern Pacific roads and the
Canadian Pacific are to be consolidated, also
the system extending from Santa Fe through
the Southwestern States, thence by way OF
the Pennsylvania coal regions and across the
Hudson river at Poughkeepsie, taking In
Hartford and the Connecticut Western line,
with a new road from Taritfville to Spring
field.
From Boston the originators propose to
the amplest accommodations for traffic from
the Pacific slope to the largest ports on the
European continent.
The projectors state that members Of the
Senate are familiar with the scheme, and are
enthusiastic for its prosecution.
The men at the head Of the scheme will
ask a capitalization Of S700.000,000. Ameri-
can and English capitalists will join equally,
effecting commercial union and ultimately
political union with Canada.
The consolidation contemplates the owner
ship of the new ocean cable joining Port
land, Me-, with the German empire.
Fully $4,000 have been expended in pro-
curing surveys for maps. Several surveys
were begun in 1881, and the plans have been
under consideration since then.
