CHICAGO, April 16.-Chauncey De-
pew, accompanied by Cornelius Van
derbilt, Ii. Mex. Twombley, E. V. r.
R0ssiter and President Ledyard, of the
Michigan Central, arrived i'll Chicago
this afternoon on special train and
drove at once to the Auditorium hotel.
I'VE shall leave tonight for the West"
said Depew, ''going as far as Denver
via Omaha. We shall visit Leadville
and return via Kansas City. Merely
tour of observation, that is all. We
shall complete it and be back in New
York one week from next Satur
day night" Concerning his arrest in
connection with the tunnel accident, in
New York, MIR. Depew said: "The case
will be useful i'll this way, it will settle
whether a director Of an interstate
road can be convicted for diSObeying
the laws of one state through which
the road ruds while he obeys the laws
of another. For instance, the law of
New Hampshire declares that a GER
tain kind of heater shall be used; in
New York it says that roads of fifty
miles in length shall not use that kind.
Rather hard to obey both. 1t is the
same as if four of the eight states
through which a road runs should COM
pei one kind of heater to be used and
the other four make it a miSdemeanOr
to use it. A director on such road
would have to be in prison
and out OF prison all the
time, unless he were cut in
pieces" Referring to his reported joe
ular remarks about the accident, Mr..
Depew said: 1T is a mistake to think
made them with reference to the vic
Tins. Despite a great feeling that is
growing to the contrary. railroad man
ager does not like an accident, and he is
as sensitive as anybody over the suffer
ings of the wounded. To Judge from
what some people say, one would think
| like nothing so much as an accident.
How foolish. We never have an acci-
dent of importance on the New York
Central railroad that does not cost US
half million dollars. In the first
place there is the destruction of prop
erty; then the damages payable to the
injured, them" Mr.. Depew sighed,
1.-The checks to the many suffer

the most peculiar injury imaginable.
In recent accident man in a Wagner

No he replied; and peculiar thing
about it is that out of four dozen eggs

no matter. He gave certificates from

grumbled because it was not enough to

Chauneey Depew interviewed
in Chicago--Effect Of the
Alton Boycott.

CHICAGO, April 16 - Members of
the Vanderbilt party, which arrived
here to-day and left tonight for the
West, specifically denied any knowl-
edge of the alleged Huntington
deal, and declared that the trip had no
special significance. Nevertheless,
curious stories are being circulated.
One is that the alliance between the
New York Central and Canadian Pacific
had aroused the ire of the Michigan
Central and Lake Shore managers, and
the Messrs. Vanderbilt and Depew had
come West to satisfy themselves as to
the effect Of the deal On those prop
critics. Another story is that they are
going to Denver to see what methods
are pursued by Gould to divert the
traffic of the Union Pacific to his own
lines, instead of fulfilling the traffic
contract with the Chicago IL Northwest
ern. 1t can hardly be said that this
tripp adds color to the report that the
Chicago & Northwestern and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul are to be
consolidated, as there is no one i'll the
party Interested in the latter road, and
no part of the journey is to be made
over the st. Paul lines.
