Railroad authorities Say This Is
Likely.
N. Y. @. Does Not Want
Northern Lines.
Grand Trunk Already Esiab-
lished in New England.

OF all the interesting railroad rumors
that have been flying about Of late IS one
put forth by the New York Tribune in
the course Of an article on the probable
absorption OF the New York, New Haven
s. Hartford system by the New York
Central or Pennsylvania. The Tribune
says: 1.-THE Central Vermont has already
been taken over BY the Grand Trunk rail-
road. IL is also said that 1t is only a
matter Of time until the Grand Trunk
obtains control Of the Boston g. Maine.
and the Maine Central. Outside Of the
Fitohburg, the New York Csntral officials
say they have no interest in New Eng
land railroads, and they admit-ths the
ultimate absorption OF the Maine Central
and Boston s. Maine by the Grand Trunk
Is more than likely"
OF course the Maine Central is not like
ly to be absorbed except as part of the
Boston & Maine. The Boston & Miane
holds contr olling interest in the stock OF
the Maine Central, aud 1t is probable that
the two would 40 together.
The rumors have all been TO the effect
that the vanderbilts or the Canadian
paofic were more likely to get the Bos-
ton Sc Maine. But 1t is to be remembered
that the Canadian Paci1c Is a quasi
government concern, and there might be
strong political reasons fwhy it should
not extend ITSELF into the United States.
The Grand Trunk. on the other hand,
Is not hampsred by such considerations.
pu fs.K IN flxa he. i.
already shown its disposition to come in
TO the UnitedL States. A glance at tho
map will show that the union of the
Northern New England roads whlch are
all under the control OF the Boston &
Maine, with Z the Grand Trunk would
make as direct connection with the West
as could be made through the Vanderbilt
nection wonld bs rather more direct
1t may be said that the Boston s. Maine
must have western connection, and
quite likely 1t will. have to choose be.
tween making that connection with the
Vanderbilt lines in...Southern New Eng
land or with the Grand Trunk or Cana.
dian Pacific on the northern border.
The Grand Trunk is to large exten t
an American road, having one terminus
in Chicago and another IN Portland. If
IL could add to this terminus the net
work OF Northern New England roads,
1t would of courss do "a profitable busI-
ness in giving this region It's western
connection.
1t is not probable that any action is i'm
mlsent. Ths prophecy Of the Tribune is
apparently based more on probabilities
than aotualities.
