ON THE CHECKERB0ARD
Another important Move in New
England Railroads.
BOSTON & MAINEANDN.Y. Y.,N.H.&H
a Trafnc Alliance Contemplated Be-
tween the Two Great Systems that
Looks Toward the Further Injury OF
the New England Road.
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.

Boston. March 3.-Another load has
been added to Mr.. McLeol's burden.
This time IL comes from quarter that
he can i'll afford TO bear.
The feeling which has been strong In
this city against him ever since the Read
ing tr uble, has at last eliminated. and
tough what has been done is not yet
final or complete. Mr.. McLeod's suprem-
acy in New England railroads is serious
ly threatened.
The trouble lies in the Boston and
Maine directory. Mr. McLeod's interests
are egainst the New York, New Haven
aud Hartford. The cir Glory IL a.
most TO a man in sympat by
with that road. At a meeting held
Wednesday in this city, the details OF
which have leaked out despite the ut
most attempts OF the members OF the
board to maintain secrecy.
At that rieeting the question OF the
future OF the road was considered. Some
OF the directors wanted commission APP
pointed to meet the officials OF the con-
solidated and discuss possibility of some
traffic arrangement between the two
roads. Mr.. Mcleod strenuously opposed
any such action, but was overruled and
the committee was appointed.
The majority of the directors have
stated emphatlcally their friendly feel
ing toward the New York, New Haven
AMI Hartford and their determination TO
do nothing which snall antagonize that
road.
1t was learned from some OF the stock
holders of the Boston and Maine that
this move Is considered as the last blow
TO the New England road aid that even
it's preferred stock will soon be of little
value. The figure of % Is predicted for
IL at an early day.
That this move will result In a traffic
alliance between the Consolidate and
the Boston ana Maine no one doubts. AMI
the completion OF such an arrangement
would destrow Mr.. McLeod's aims of
using New ENGLAND the connecting
link between the two great systems OF
Reading am Boston and Maine.
1t is interesting TO note in this conuec-
tion two further facts that are not
favorable TO Reading. One is the cutting
