RAILROAD FIRMS
CONSOLIDATE
The Vanderbilt and Harriman-GOUld
Interests Have Agreed.
WILL NIPE OUT COMPETITION
The Absorbing of the Wagner Car
Concern by the Pullman Company
Revelation to MANY.

A special dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Examiner, dated Chicago, October
p, says;
A New York man, well known in the
financial world, now in this city, is au-
thority for the statement that the next
few months will witness a sweeping
consolidation Of railroad interests that
will wipe out the last vestige Of cOmpe-
tition between the Vanderbilt and Har-
riman-Gould interests.
According to this authority the con-
solidation Of the palace car companies
was the preliminary step towards car
rying out deal which ]. Pierrepont
Morgan and his financial allies have
been working for more than a year
1t has been a revelation to many
railroad men to find that members Of
the Pullman Company Board Of Direc-
tors are not only very heavy holders Of
stock In other roads Of the Vanderbilt
system, but that the Vanderbilts and
their allies have ben for six months
past quietly buying Pullman stock, I'm
til their interests are large, outside
the S2O,C00,OOO in stock which is to be
transferred in exchange for the Wag-
ner interests. This feature Of the
sleeping car combine has revealed a
secret compact which has been in exis-
tence for many months, by which the
end of competition between the palace
car companies was to presage more
sweeping consolidation Of interests be-
tween the Vanderbilt lines and their
former enemies. The division Of inter-
ests between the sleeping car concerns
was an important obstacle to the car
rying out OF the Morgan plans for the
consolidation Of the railroads them
selves, and its removal makes compara-
lively plain sailing.
The p'ans of J. PierrepOnt Morgan
and his allies, according to the authori-
ty quoted are no less than the welding
together Of the railroad interests con-
trolled by the Harriman-Gould and
Vanderbilt interests.
The entrance of Messrs. Field and
other chicagoans into the directorate
Of the Baltimore and Ohio, and the sub

was the custom. When Johnston was
relieS ed the members OF the mess voted
to have his portrait painted and hung
In the mess This was done and the
picture stayed there untouched all
through the dark days OF the war. In
the year 1855, there was sent TO West
Point as a tactical officer Marcus a.
Reno, who had won the stars OF a
brigadier general OF volunteers on the
battlefield Reno had gone back to
his rank Of captain Of regulars at the
close OF hostilities Reno had been at
Wes. Point on duty but few days
when the picture Of Johnston caught
mis- eye. War passions were still high
though another excuse was given for
Reno's conduct. He was officer OF the
day and wore his side arms. He drew
his saber in front Of Johnston's picture.
"A traitor has no place on these walls"
he said. There was a right cut" from
practlced hand and the encircling
frame and the picture Of the confeder-
ate general was Gift in twain Reno

He was dismissed from the service

The showing Of southern soldiers
face In the gallery Of West Pointers
brings to mind a popular misconcep-
ton on the subject Of the number Of
military academy graduates from the
+ South who lef, cOlors to fight for seces-
sion. During the war and ever since,
because the facts are not generally
known, II was supposed by the people
that West Point had educated southern
cadets only to have them turn against
the government. AS a matter OF fact
on the authority Of General CullOm,
who made the matter a study-four-
ffths Of the graduates held true to
the union and Of those who came
from below the Mason and Dixen line
one-half fought under the stars and
STRIPES. Senators, representatives and
federal Judges born IN Dixie almost to a
man threw In their lot with secession
Nearly every officer in the army ap-
pointed from civil life in the South
went with the stars and bars. The stu
dents Of Yale Harvard Princeton and
other northern universities who matri-
culatcd from the states that seeded
went ir mass to the ranks Of the con-
feIeraCy. The influence Of family and
Of birthrlght Of states rights influence
were not sufficient to wean from their
union sworn allegiance a majority OF
southern graduates. Lee himself had
struggle before he dropped the blue
for the gray. No West Pointer doubts
that he acted as his conscience dictat-
ed. His portrait will be honored when
It is put in place near that Of the man
whom he met at Appomattox.
