RETURN OF PREsIDEST C. p. CLARK.
He Won't Talk Rnilroad-Boor in Penn
sylvania Railroad shares.

Charles =. Clark. President OF the NJ, X.
New Haven and Hartford Railroad. whu sent
abroad In January for his health. arrived from
southampton yesterday on the American line
steamship st. Louis. Mr. Clare, who was ac-
compnnied by his daughter Carita, travelled In
France. Italy and Egypt. and his health has
improved greatly. He was met at the Ameri-
can line dock by John NJ Hall OF New Haven.
Vice-President Of the read W. L. Chambe rlaln
OF Boston. general manager c. Peter Clark OF
Boston. general superintendent Of the Eastern
district; Capt. stephen A. Gardner, general
superintendent Of the marine district: j. G.
Parker. the Presidents secretary. and mem
bers Of his family. After lunch at the Murray
Hill Hotel Mr. Clark went aboard his private
car attached to the 3 O'Clock Boston express.
and went to his home in New Haven.
Railroad men will be interested to learn what
developments in the Vanderbt-New Haven
situation will follow Mr. Clark's return from
Europe. The first thing Mr.. Clark learned
when he came ashore was that the Nanderbilts
had leased the Boston and Albany. He did not
care to express an opinion Of the deal or to
predict what would be the future relations be-
tween his road. the New York Central and the
Iennlsylvnnin. Tho presence OF the President
and and VICE Presldent OF the prnnsyy;ann at the
the o the e Sn pay
nave friendly understanding with the
Pennsylvania. The relations OF Pres.
dent Galloway OF the New York Central and
Vice. President Hall OF the New Haven have
also been very nmcahle Of late, and all around
there seems to be peace in the Eastern railroad
camp. whether The Nanderbilt- Morgan in
terests in the New Haven will become strong
enough to bring about union OF the New
Haven line with the constantly growing Van
derbilt system remains to be seen.
When Mr.. Clark was met by several news
narer men at the steps of H. Is private, car. he
fore he left for New Haven. he greeted them in
Orienta al fashion:
EsSn,dm altknm."
He wouldn't talk about railroads. and while
he was fencing with the newspaper question
ers the mdbdr whlsted and the kdt drew out
OF the station.
Vice President Hall Of the New Haven said
that the ABSORPTION OF his road by the Nander-
bits was only a wild rumor.
The New York Central and the Boston and
Albany" he said. have always had close
trafi1c arrangements with the New York. New
Haven and Hartford; and nothing could be
chased the Consolidated road ! can assure
you that the lease Of the Boston aud Albany
will not affect he policy Of the road of which |
am Vice-Prcsident. There will be no change
IN our relations. which have always been
pleasant"
On the basis of reported friendly relations
between the New York central and the Penn
sylvania there was Il boom in Pennsylvania

terday The stock advanced "a points on
the largest trading since IL has been dealt in
in New York, tho sales aggregating 81 800
