MAGNATEs TO CONFER.
VOnderhOrst Goes to Baltimore to
Talk Over Matters With
H0nInn.

NEW YORK. Dec a.-Harry Wonder
horst. principal owner Of the Baltimore
baseball club. who is spending the winter
in this city. left for Baltimore this after
noon as the result of a telegram received
from Edward Hanlon. manager of the ORR
oles. Fondernorst said his return home re-
lated to the pending deal for the consOlida-
ton of the Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs.
He still thinks we'll of the plan. but has
not decided fully to give his consent. He
intends to look the ground over thoroughly
before deciding and will consult with the
minority stockholders as to the wisdom of
making the deal.
When asked about the combination
formed by some of the Baltimore players
to get some money for themselves II the
deal be made, VOnderhorst laughed and
said:
Baseball players will be baseball play
ers. you know" Kelly. Keller. cGraw and
Jennings have decided not to sign to play
in Brooklyn unless paid more money than
as Orioles. The demand for the salary linz
it of $3.50 and 10 per cent of the net profits
is a funny reminder of the old Brotherhood
days.
Baltimore enthusiasts are much opposed
to asy transfer of the present Orioles. not
withstanding that they failed to give the
team proper financial support last year.
Two or three syndicateS are in the field
for the purpose of buying out the club and
keeping the play ers in Baltimore: 1t is
believed that these syndicates are encour-
aging the Orioles to make high demands
and thus cause the club. If it does decide
to consolidate with Brooklyn. as much
trouble as possible in carrying the consol-
idation into effect.

Vonderhorst's hesitation has caused a
temporary hitch in the deal between the
Baltimore and Brooklyn clubs. Wonder
horst has made Il great deal of money
out of baseball in Baltimore. and he is
loath 10 kill the goose that laid the golden
egg. Hanlon is also 4 little worried. The
readiness with which wealthy patrons of
the game have expressed their willingness
TO put up all the money needed for the
organization of Il strong club. the nucleus
of a rival association to the league, has set
Ned to thinking. He declared. however.
that rs soon as the agreement with Brook
Ign is signed the Baltimore clubs fran
chise will be for sale. He expressed sur
prise that VOnderhorst hesitated about
signing the papers. but said he had every
reason to believe that the deal would be
consummated- Catcher Bill Clarke now
says he will not go to Brooklyn. Robinson
and McGraw are exerting considerable in
fluence with the pitchers. McGraw has
repeatedly said within the last year
that another players brotherhood was in
evitable. Should 4 new association be
formed. it will not be governed by the rules

Railroad Commissioners Say That the
Frisco Extension VIII BE n
Great Benefit.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO, Dec. 2O.-(Spe-
cial.) Railroad Commissioners Flory and
Hennessey to-day filed a report with Chair
man Cowgirl, of the board of railroad COM
missioners. of the inspection of the St.
Louis & San Francisco railroad from
knocke Junction, near Kansas City. to
Springfield. This line is composed of what
was formerly known as the Kansas City,
Osceola & Southern railroad. from Knocke
Junction to Osceola, los miles. and Il new
line from Osceola 10 Bolivar, ~thirty-nine
miles, connecting with what was formerly
known as their Bolivar branch, making a
through line from Kansas City to Spring
field. They say they found the line IN
good condition. The report says:
We do not hesitate TO say that for a new
line the portion from Osceola to Bolivar Is
one of the best pieces of road We ever
saw. The passenger service is ample. there
being four daily passenger trains between
Springfield and Kansas City. and six be-
tween Clinton and Kansas City. We are
of the opinion that the opening of this
through line will prove to be of great
benefit to the people of Southwest Mis-
souri, and Kansas City"

TO BE- ONE VAST SYSTEM.
Report That Vanderbilt Interests East
of Chicago Will Combine With
Their Western Interests.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-The Tribune SAYS:
1t IS reported that a combination of the
Vanderbilt system east of Chicago, with
the Chicago & Northwestern and the
Union Pacific systems may be under con-
sheraton. The New York Central VIII.
under such a scheme, exchange its 80
per cent collateral trust bonds for Chicago
& preferred and Common at
300 and $50 and for Union Pacific preferred
The mileage of the New York Central sys-
tenn would then stand at 1925. with a
bonded debt of sis2. 10000, s3tS,0c0.0O 3a
per cent collateral trust and 500, 00O, 900
stock.
The grand total of fixed charges would be
sl $4,000. According to the latest pub
lished returns and estimates, the net earn
ings. after rentals and taxes, would ag-
gregate $i5,3yo.00 for the system, leaving a
balance of sl4, 49,, $50 after liked charges, or
about 10 per cent on New York Central
stock.
The report that the Vanderbilt lines
east of Chicago might be combined with
the Chicago * Northwestern and the Union
Pacific, is by no means a new one and
seems TO be not Improbable, although the
Joining of forces is not likely to be effected
for a good while to come.
The consolidation of the New York Cen
trail and Lake Shore roads, it is understood,
has shown results so satisfactory to the
interests which brought it about that they
are planning to extend the plan to the
Vanderbilt system. While the Chicago q
Northwestern is not actually u part OF that
system. the Vanderbilts virtually control
il and their holdings of Union Pacific Sc
curities are so extensive that they are in
fiuential in the direction OF that railroad
system.
By increasing their investments In Union
Pacific to an extent necessary TO give them
control, they would have a fine route 10
the far West by the New York Central and
the West Shore to Buffalo. by the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern and the Michi-
gan Central, thence to Chicago. from Chi
cage to Omaha by the Chicago & North
western and from Omaha westward by
the Union Pacific. The Union Pacific is
still regarded ds most likely to be the
purchaser of the Chicago & Alton. If 1t
should take over that road. its own subse-
quent absorption by the Vanderbilt system
would give the latter an alternative route
between Chicago and the far West, as the
Alton extends from Chicago to Kansas
City. the terminus of the Kansas City
branch Of the Union Pacific, which joins
the main line at Cheyenne.

a few days ago in wiping out the differ

st. Louis and Chicago. TIL Western roads
have made such a strong protest against
the acceptance of the new rates that the
Eastern men have been moved strongly to
retire the rates or modify them. Traffic
men in the city seem To think that the
rates will be taken out altogether and that
St. Louis rates will continue to be 1l6 per
cent of the Chicago rates.
When this tariff was issued the Eastern
lines explained that it was only as an ex-
pertinent to try to move to the East corn

STIRRING MATTERS UP.
Councilman VI. II. Wright. of indie.
pendence. Calls Attention to Lax
Conduct of City Affairs.

Councilman NJ. r. Wright, of Independ-
ence, raised a small sized storm at the
meeting of the city fathers Of the county
seat last night. AS soon as the meeting
was called to order he demanded an IN
vestigation of the charges made in The
Journal that the business of the city was
being conducted in a slipshod manner. Mr..
Wright had been doing a little Investigating
and. during the course of a very forcible
speech. presented some startling facts to
the council.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Wright it was
ascertained that the city marshal had not
made a report since he has been in office,
and, in consequence the council withheld
his warrant until the condition OF the af-
fairs could be ascertained, through him or
otherwise.
1t was discovered that the corporation
had been paying corporations money, when
these same organizations were indebted to
the city. The electric light company owed
the city back taxes, and there was a tax
bill of $685. against it. There was a prop
osition made to withhold its warrant. but
the matter was finally compromised by the
electric light company agreeing to pay the
bill in the morning.
There are some extremely interesting de-
velopments promised. and the next meeting
OF the council promises great things.
