Gigantic.Railroad CORPORATION.

The New York Tribune says that the
consOli6a alton of the Lake Shore rail-
way with the New York Central under
the psme of the latter is simply the
initial sep in railroad plan that in
scope and eXtert ecliDses awning
hitherto undertaken in the history of
railrOading. The truth is, however.
thai the present scheme, the first step
which has been taken bv the practical
ly admitted amalgam tion of the Lake
Shore and the New York Central is to
consolidate into one company the whole
Vanderbilt system and such lines as it
may be able to control and lease, and
place the whole enormous organization
under one management The next
step in this gigantic plan of consolida-
ton will be the merging of the Cleve-
lard, Cinciur att, Chicsgo and ST. Louis
railroad, generally known as the Big
Four, with the Chesapeake and Ohio
under the name of the former. Mel
vile E. Ingalls, is now president of
both TO ads The Big -Four ia Van
derhilt property. PrObab the same
p an of consolidation will he followed
out in this road as in the Lake Shore.
The next step will he tt b. ing the

According to Pre- S dentE. P. Ripley,
of the Santa Fe, who quotes from ad-
vance sheets of the Interstate com.
MERGE commission report far 1895,
there were 18l passengers killed by
the railway of the Unit ed States dur

sengers carried durinp the same

5000, 600 carried in safety for ev. ~ ose
killed.
The employees killed numbered 1861,
or about one for every 100 miles of road
op rated. This is the general ave, age:
but W to the Santa Fee the CASUAL les
numbered about one death for every
1877 miles Of line operated.
Of those killed by railroads, who
we're neither employees nor passengers,
the number aggregated last year 4, 4O6
These we're eithe- xii ed at stations at

The trouble between the Santa Fe
trainm en- d the company over the IT,
depreciation of several rules including
the pay schedule, has been satisfactor-
lily adjusted by General Superintendent
Nudge.
The men are satisfied with the con-
struct on placed on the rules by Mr..
Nudge, and the general supe' inten-
de MT will see that in the future all di-
vision officials interpret the rules alike.
The rules in question govern the
computation of mileage in different
classes of runs, and by having them
differently constructed by different di-
vision officials, men on some divisions
have received less for the same amount
of work. than men on other divisions
Naturally the men who have received
the smaller pay have "kicked" against
what they termed discrimination, and
as appeals for uniformity in the int r.
probation of the rules have been COM
ing in to the grievance committee at

THEPARIS EXPOSITION.
The Government Must Act Promptly if
it Acts at all

it Acts at all
A Washington letter says: The
necessity for prompt congressional act
ion on bill providing for adequate re-
presentation of the United States at
the forthcoming international exposi-
letters of inquiry that are pouring IN
upon the offices in this city, New York
and Chicago. These inquiries come
from manufacturers of machinery and
others who propose to make large ex-
hibits and who are anxious to learn
what amount of space they can depend
on before they commence operations
in the way of constructing their ex-
hibits. Manufacture locomotives,
architectural iron work, food pre- ducts,
woolens, tapestries, all of which re-
quire considerable space for show
purposes, are naturally anxious to know
just where they stand before going to
big outlay with the possibility that
they will then be compelled to modify
their plans: The sudden death OF
Major Handy, the temporary commits
sioner, has not tended to delay pro-
gress as his report, prepared on what
proved to be his death bed, was cou-
pleted and in the hands of President
Mckinley several weeks before his
passing awav. A bill based upon this
report is now being prepared and every
e fort will be made to get 1t through
congress with as little delay as possible.
The government has now four exposi-
ton Offices in operation, one in Chica-
go under the direction of John h.
McGivvous, one in New York under
Col. L. M. Bamberger, a third is in
this city in charge of Lieutenant A. G.
Baker, and one in Paris presided over
by Colonel G.. Chillee Ling. All OF

the elements which strengthen the vital

It revitalizes every organ and tissue of
