PLATr WANTS 1T LATE.
An Early Republican Convention Doesn't
Suit the New York Boss.

An Early Republican Convention Doesn't
Suit the New York Boss.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24-The conference
of Republican leaders continued at the
Holland house last night until an early
hour this morning, though the discus
sions were largely informal.
Senator Quay said he favored an early
convention. He added that he is for
Pittsburg as the next convention
city, heart and soul, but on
his arrival here he had
ascertained that many of the national
committeeman favored San Francisco as
the spot where the next national con-
vention should be held.
One reason why Mr.. Plat does not
want an early convention is because next
year governor and lieutenant governor
are to be nominated in New York
state. The delegates at large to
the national convention will be
named by the same state convention
that nominates the candidates for gov
ernor and lieutenant governor.
A national convention in May would
therefore, precipitate an early state CON
vention, and q long and exhaustive
state campaign. This and other
matters were discussed. At the din
ner of the Republican leaders tho
following were present: Mr.. Quay, Mr..
Platt. Gen. Clarkson. Mr. Carter, and Mr..
Filley, of St. Louis.
The national committee meeting at
Washington or Dec. 10. will it was said,
have much to do toward directing the
policy of the Republicans to be pursued,
at Washington this winter on the tariff
schedules. The general sentiment
heard here was to the effect that wool
and mineral ores must be protected.

New YORK, Oct. 24-FoIlowing the
conference last night which resulted in
the issuing of a call for the meeting of
the Republican national committee
on December 10, there was a dinner
at the Brunswick, TO which Chairman
Carter General J. !. Clarkson and I. c.
Platt sat down.
= 1t is alleged that it was decided at this
dinner, so far as the will of three men
may decide if, that the national Re-
publican convention will be held ia
Chicago or Pittsburg and probably on
June 10.
1t was said that seventeen members of
the national committee had expressed
preference for San Francisco as the con-
vention city, while % votes are necessary
to a choice. San Francisco, it was
alleged, cannot obtain the requisite
eight additional votes.

ITS A BIG STORY.
Santa Fe to Be Consolidated
With Pacific Lines
Into a System Extending From
Chicago to California.
THIS IS THE RUMOR
But President Robinson in the
City Today
Says That There is Nothing in
the Story.
THIS IS THE RUMOR

ABROAD IN railway circles 10 the eu6ct
that a movement is in progress with the
object of uniting several of the trans
continental lines into one system, ex-
tending from Chicago to the Pacific
coast. The lines said to be in the deal
are the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
the Denver 6 Rio Grande, the Rio
Grande, the Rio Grande Western, the
Northern and the Oregon Short Line.
The project is of such magnitude that
it is regarded with doubt by well in
formed railroad men. According 10 the
report, if the government takes possess
ion of the Union Pacific and the Central
Pacific as one system, the consolidation
of the lines named. perhaps with the
substitution of the Colorado Midland for
the Denver & Rio Grande is almost
sure thing.
MIR. D. B. Robinson, acting president of
the Santa Fe and agent of the receivers
was in Topeka for short time today.
Mr.. Robinson arrived from Chicago at
II o'clock in his special car attached to
the Denver train and in company with
Superintendent of Machinery Player
made hasty inspection OF the Topeka
shops.
Mr. Robinson did not come up town
but after going through the shops re-
turned to his car and left for Kansas City
at 1850 p m.
A STATE JOURNAL reporter saw MI.
Robinson and showed him the Denver
dispatch telling of the rumored con
solidation of several trans continental
lines of railroad, including the Santa Fe.
After reading the dispatch, Mr.. Robin
son said: This is the first l have heard
of it. There is nothing in it. If there
was I would have known of ii. It is alb
solutely without foundation"
When asked regarding the prospective
presidency of the Santa Fe. he said:
- know nothing about il, aud in fact no
one knows who will be president and no
one can know until the reorganization
committee announces the new board of
directors.
The new board will hardly be an
nOunced at the annual meeting here next
month. 1t is true that the reorganization
committee holds 90 per cent of the stock
and wi.l vote 1t in the annual meeting
but it is most likely that the announce
ment of the new board will be made by
the reorganization committee from New
York"
Alr. Robinson said he was much pleas
ed with the condition of the Topeka
shops and said business all along the
system is coed. "Tse freight business is
not only good but the passenger tratfi
is picking up, especially California busi-
ness" he said.
The reporter asked if an exception
would be made to allow the acting presi-
dents private car on the new
California train TO which Mr.. Robinson
replied: mo sir you can depend on it
wont be caught on that train with my
carr
Mr.. Robinson left Chicago last night
and will make daylight inspection OF
the Chicago line going back lie said
the company had been making numer-
Gus improvements on the Chicago line ne
" as anxious to see.
