More Room Needed.

Each year makes 1t palmer that the Penn
sylvania Company must have more city
freight depot room, the two present freight
depo,s not afording facilities for handling
the increasing business which each year
brings. and 1895 bids fair to largely eclipse
all former records. Each month shows a
large increase in business over months OF
former years. TIL following official fig

the three months ending Sept. 80 there were
handled at the city freight depots OF the

lumber Rate. Restored.

General freight agents of the Western
roads agreed yesterday that lumber rates
should be restored Nov. 4 to the basis of
tariff In effect Sept. Is. prior to the recent
cuts, the advance to be made everywhere
throughout association territory. Coal rates
will be advanced Nov. IL 10 the basis Of
$50 per ton from Chicago 20 the Missouri
river. The old rate was $3.50, but owing
TO the number of contracts that have been
made IL was impossible to put them back
TO that figure at this time. 1t was also
agreed that grains rates from the West
should be maintained in the old tariff basis
on and after Nov. A. Export rates via Gal
weston and other ports are to
be subject 10 the same rule. A uniform
form of instruction was adopted. to be sent

No Alliance with Gould.

"ath
The fact that Chauncey II. Depew. presi-
dent of the New York Central. and Marvin
Hughitt. president of the Chicago & North
western, are members OF the Union Pacific
reorganization committee is the only ground
for sending over the country the sensational
rumor that an alliance had been formed
between the vanderbilts and the GouIds
with a view of establishing under one own
ership a through line from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Mr.. Depew was interviewed re-
garding the rumor, and stated emphatically
that there was nothing in the yarn, and
that Ii had no foundation In fact. The APP
pointments OF Mr.. Depew and MIR. Hughitt
on the reorganization committee are but
natural. For years the Union Pacific has
been dominated by the Vanderbilts. The
closest possible traffic arrangements have
existed between the Northwestern and the
Union Pacific, and the road has been prac-
tically operated as a wing of the Wander
bllt system. 1t is, therefore, but natural
to suppose that those who best understand
the Union Pacific should be appointed to
assist In the reorganization OF the property.
The Chicago story further minated that
President Huntington was ready to sell the
Central Pacific TO the Vanderbilts. Not a
mile of the Southern Pacific's California
system Is for SALE Its owners know when
they have a good thing. The policy of the
Southern Pacific has been to buy roads, and
not to sell them. and. as no road could
probably go into competition with II in
Call10rn1a without paraliel1ng It's entire
system in that State. IL is likely to be left
in undisputed possession of the field. There
is certainly not enough business in and out
OF San Francisco alone TO pay for building
another road into that city.
