The history of Van Horne's efforts to.
get into New York is interesting. One
of his b0ldest schemes was shown in an
offer to Jay Gould for the Second-avenue
elevated line.
The Canadian Pacific now enters
many OF the great commercial cities of
the United States. BY traffic agree
ment with the Boston and Maine, and
with practically voice in the manage
ment of that road, it gets entrance into.
Boston and strong hold on all New
England. The Wabash gets it into Chi
cago, and by means of the 800" and
Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic, it
taps Duluth, Minneapolis and st. Paul,
while arrangements with other roads
let it, into Sioux City, to connection
with the trans-continental roads. 1t is
not amenable to the interstate commerce
law, and whenever during the past year
or two, there have been rate disturb
ances at the junction points named, the
Canadian Pacific has not often escaped
suspicion.
Depew did not say what would be the
effect of the Canadian Pacific getting
foot hold in New York, or how the New
York Central would be regarded for al

| The new alliance is not likely to i'm
prove the rate situation in the trunk

the disturbances at Boston, Chicago
and st. Paul will be repeated.

1.-THE chance has come at last. Now for
an opportunity to pay off old scoresl I
beat Hall once about two years ago in
Australia. then knew very little
about fighting. I'll give him the grand
est thrashing this time he ever had in
his life. He is better man than Demp-
sey, but Jack was an easy mark, and
had him licked the first time punched
him. Hall is very heavy at present, and
the training he will be forced to undergo
in order to get down to 154 pounds, will
take more energy out of him than a
spell of sickness. My engagement with
CLARK will close in nine weeks, and after
a good, long rest, l intend to train for
the fight"
George Clark has telegraphed from
Chicago to Charles Ross, his agent here,
that he had guaranteed purse of $17,-
600, and furthermore he would back
Fitzsimmons for $4,000, with equal
backing on Halls side. This makes the
largest stake ever fought for, the total
amount being $37, 1000.
Fitzsimmons says if he defeats Hall
he will make Ted Pritchard, England's
champion, his next mark, and then re-
tire from the ring.

New York, March 29.-The Canadian
Pacific is now full-fedged trunk line
out of New York city. Railroad men
have long been watching the maneu-
vers of President Van Horne, wonder
ing whether he would build rival line
from across the border, or buy or lease
one of the established trunk lines. Van
Horne, who is regarded as clever rail-
road man, has been on the warpath for
several years, but he has faculty for
covering up his tracks. For this reason
few railroad people saw what he was
really after. He neither built, bought
nor leased, but by series of skillful
moves he got what he wanted from the
company that has the best terminal
hereabouts.
Van Horne, Chauncey Depew and H..
Walter Webb completed deal yester-
day by which the New York Central
let's the Canadian Pacific bring its
freight and passenger trains in over the
West Shore and Central, with as good
facilities as the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad gets. The Cana
dian Pacific will come down from Brook
vile over new bridge which is to be
built at that point, by way Of Rome,
| Watertown and Ogdensburg to Utica.
No Canadian Pacific trains will come
over the Vanderbilt lines by way of
the Buffalo suspension bridge at present,
although this may follow If the Cana
dian Pacific completes ita lines either to
Buffalo or to the bridge.
| After the main points OF the agree
ment had been reached at conference
at the Grand Central station, Van
Horne declared the war at an end, and
returned to Montreal ON the night train.
The details of the agreement will be
worked out by the traffic officers of the
two companies, and it will 60 into effect
Immediately.
President Depew said that it would
be good thing for both companies.
The arrangement would give the Van
derbilts trans-continental line from
Nova Scotia, and the foreign road would
bring great amount of business to the
metropolis. "Alopg $50 miles OF the
Canadian Pacific, )" said Depew, "trains

THE BEYOND.
His End Was Peaceful-Life Ebbed Away
with the Ringing Of the Easter vesper
Bells-A Great and Good Man Conc.

New YORK, March 29.-Dr. Howard
Crosby died at s AS this evening.
His end was peaceful. AS the bells
were ringing for the vesper service of
Easter day, he asked, by sign, for pa
per, and wrote few lines to his loved
ones, to his absent son and daughter in
Egypt, and the three members Of his
family at home. The first words of this,
his last writing, were: II know have
to go."
Howard Crosby was born IN New York
city, February n, 1926. He was Of a
revolutionary family, his grandfather,
Ebenezer Crosby, being surgeon-general
of Washington's guards, His father
was William Redlow Crosby, the phi
lanthropist. He graduated at the uni
versity of New York in 1874. In 1858
he took up the pastorship Of the Fourth
avenue Presbyterian church, with which
he was associated at the time of his
death.
DIR. Crosby was chosen moderator of
the general assembly Of the Presbyter-
ian church in 1873, and in 1877 he was
delegate to the first Presbyterian
general council at Edinburgh. In 1877
he took a leading part in establishing
the society for the prevention Of vice.
As an author he has written number
6f scholarly books on biblical subjects.
DIR. Crosby's interest in public affairs
was shown by the active part he took in
the interest of the Municipal league
movement, which was aimed at the pur-
ification OF local politics. He was a
high license advocate.

. Chinese Funeral.
PITTsBURa, March 29.-The. Cinnamon
Of Pittsburg, contrary to the general be-
lief in regard to their burial, do not
send their dead to China, but own q
neat lot in Uniondale cemetery in which
they are buried. This afternoon one of
their number, Jeu Seu, was buried with
every rite and observance attending
Chinese Obsequies. Jeu Seu was high
Mason, and long procession of celes-
tials followed the remains to the grave.
Here most disgraceful scenes ensued,
brought about by some 200 Caucasians,
who had tramped over the shrubbery
and iostled the timid mourn
ers, in order to crafty their
curiosity. The Chinese reverently
placed burning Joss sticks, perfumed
paper and printed prayers beside the
grave, only to have them almost
snatched out of their hands by the ex-
cited mob. They also wrapped small
coins in paper and scattered them on
and in the grave, but boys and men
snatched them up and fought iercely
for the possession of the curios as me-
mentos. Cat calls and jeers and howls
from the vulgar crowd added to the
shameless scene that PittsburS heartily
condemns, the excuse being that the
riotous crowd was only made up of the
idle, vulgar and lawless.
