vANpERBILT SAVING MONEY.
VIII Cut Down Train Service on the West
Shore Railway.

New York Jan. 15.--The Herald today
says that since the serious illness which
made the relinquishlnE of all business
by Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt n neces-
sity, his brother, Mr. William X. Van
derbilt, has been gradually assuming
the responsibility of his brothers posi-
ton, until now he has become the ac-
tual dominating force of the New York
Central.
Mr.. W. X. Vanderbllt's force in the
affairs of the company was first made
apparent last spring on his return from
Europe a proposition to consolidate
or merge the West Shore into the New
York Central had beeh under discus
sion for several months and 1t was sus-
gested as a first step that the West
Shore shops in Frankfort should be
closed and the work done there trans
ferred to the shops in West Albany and
Depew. But somehow nothing could
he done, as no one seemed willing to
take the responsibility of making the
change. 1t was presented to Mr.. Van
derbilt and without hesitation he or
dered work to be done. The change was
made in May and since then it's wis
dom has been fully justified in the saw
ing of expense that has followed. Those
who know estimate the cost of the re-
pair department has been reduced $780,
600 n year.
Encouraged by the success of this
| company has now under consideration
| another important Change. all looking
| to the ultimate merging of the West
| Shore into the New York Central. In
the first place IL is believed n great
| saving can be made by consolidating
| the departments which operate the train
service. This will mean the taking OF
| the West Shore trains which duplicate
| those OF the New York Central. 1t
costs to run a West Shore train on a
| round trip to Buffaio--that is one train
starting from New York and the other
| from Buffalo at the same time. $500 a
| day. The cnncelling Of this single train

the same service being performed by
the New York Central, would save the
company in round figures $4,000 a

INDIA AND GOLD STANDARD.
Finance Minister Not quite Ready to Give
His Final Reply.

Calcutta, Jan. 15.-Sir James West
land, the finance minister of the coun-
ell. at the meeting yesterday of that
body, made a speech in which he said
he was unable to give a final reply to
the question of the introduction of a
gold standard. One thing was clear
he continued, great advance had been
made In the direction contemplated by
the authors of the policy of 1898, name
ly: The gold standard would become
possible. Many obscure points had
been determined by actual experience.
The disasters of 1897 had been followed
by bountiful harvest and the renewal
OF trade discussions OF last autumn
had prepared the public and official
opinion in England to the possible
necessity of the gold standard which
might involve the actual diversion for
Indian purposes of certain amount
of gold from the general available
stock. The speaker said also, that he
was fully alive to the grave commercial
bearings of the subject. adding If the
legislation of 1893 had not been intro
duced. exchange might have dropped
to nine pence and the present situation
might have been far worse.

Tacoma, WASH. Jan. ia railroad
building race involving the expenditure
OF sl6OOO,o 900 has been commenced by
two wealthy corporations, each OF
which desires to own the first railroad
into the Yukon country. Each road
will be about 400 miles long, running
from Pyramid Harbor, near the head
of Lynn canal, to points on Lewis river
below Five Finger rapids.
The companies back of the railroad
projects are the London Exploration
Co, and the Yukon company, organ
ICED last summer by Andrew F. Bur
leigh, the principal stockholders OF
which are Philadelphia and New YORK
men.
Both corporations have engineers
and surveyors at work between Pyra-
mid Harbor and the Lewis river The
protectors of both roads figure on an
average cost of over $4,000 mile, re-
auiring an outlay of over $S00O,O0O for
each road. The equipment for each
will cost about 81, 000. 900 more. 2
