The Opinion is Gaining Ground That He
 Will Head the Reading.
 Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-Substantial progress toward reorganization of the Reading road was made to-day. J. Kennedy Todd and F. W. Witeridge, representing the Olcott committee of New York bondholders, were in confer ence with both the receivers and Messrs. Earle and Tyler, representing the Philadelphia committee. Progress toward complete harmony was made One of the receivers stated that an out line of the plan had been submitted to the New Workers, but the details were carefully guarded. i
 It was learned that the Philadelphia committee had succeeded in having underwritten $3OOo,0OO of the required $4,SOO,O0O to fund the general mortgage coupons, and that the whole amount could readily have been secured here, but out of deference to the New York people, who desired to participate fur ther, subscriptions to the fund here were declined. One feature of the days developments was the evident strength of ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker in connection with reports that coupled his name with the incom- ing presidency of the Reading. MT. Wanamaker yesterday said:
 T believe could reorganize Reading, and that very shortly"
 The opinion is rapidly gaining ground that failure to reorganize the company within very short time will mean MT. Wanamaker's election as president of the Reading company
