Nothing has transpired in railroad circles
that has created moro uneasiness than the
consolidation of the New York Central and
the Lake Shore roads, and me anxiety is
not confined TO the two roads but Is felt
on all the Vanderbilt lines. as it is not
known TO what extent consolidation may
go. As the consolidation is said to be in
the line of retrenehment. the question
among officials of the numerous lines is,
who will be the man to be dismissed? AS
the New York Central was the purchaser.
officials of that road are sanguine of being
preferred when the acknowledgements
knife is drawn. But Lake Shore men dis
count this claim by pointing with pride at
the earning capacity of their road i'm com
parison with the New York Central's rev
enues. 1t is freely limited in Eastern finan-
cial circles that many heads will drop and
that only practical men will be retained
This means surprise in the ranks of both
roads. Nobody, says the Buffalo CONNER
cial, has any definite idea of the plans and
as the reports from New York are meagre
1t Is still a matter of conjecture. The con-
solidation of the New York Central and
Lake Shore companies creates Il new sys-
tenn of 40S1 miles in length, representing
direct, leased and operated companies 1t
forms complete and unbroken line from
New York to Chicago, with divering lines
IN New York state, Michigan, Pennsyl-
Vania. Indiana and Illinois. The mileage of
the New York Central is 2.322 miles The
company has PSI miles of four tracks The
Lake Shore a. Michigan Southern was char
tered Aug. To- 1863. Its main line extends
from Buffalo to Chicago.

The rumor is revived that the Chicago,

ing for the control of the Indiana q llli-
nols Southern Railway. Last summer the
officials of the Monon went over the line,
and the matter was then thought TO have

has been furnishing cars for the line and
has got considerable business from it, but
yet has taken to steps to secure control
of the road. To make it of much value
it would have to be practically rebuilt, and
it is a question if, under present conditions,
such an expense would be justified

The Western roads, at meeting in Chi

of rates to Alaska. Vice President Stubbs
of the Southern Pacific, was present 1t
was the consensus of opinion that the
roads could not allow the Canadian Pacific
to have any advantage over the American
roads in the matter Of rates to Alaska and
it was also the general opinion that it was
eminently desirable to have a conference
with the Canadian Pacific and see if some
method cannot be devised by which the
rates can be kept from further demoraliza-
ton. A telegram signed by a general off,
Ger of each of the following lines-the
Southern Pacific. the Union Pacific, the
Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and
the Atchison-was sent to Vice President
Shaughnessy, Of the Canadian Pacific, say

other cities, in proportion to size and the
amount of money expended. IL as much
money was spent here as elsewhere, /

finest city in the world

$ on the fast trains, but the Burlington and
the Northwestern steadily refused to do
anything Of the kind. The question was
argued back and forth, but nothing would
be conceded by either side, and finally the
meeting adjourned until o'clock in the
afternoon. AT that hour the Atchson made
proposition to submit the matter to arbi-
tration, but this plan was declined Then it
was proposed to the Northwestern and the
burlington that they consent to a lower
fare being made to Pueblo and Colorado
Springs than to Denver, the rate to the
three points being now the same. This was
discussed at some length and before it had
been settled an adjournment was taken UNI
til Thursday of this week. In the mean
time, there will be no reduced rates to Den
Yer, notice being sent TO all interested lines
that the situation will remain unchanged
until after Thursday, at least.
