THE ALLEGED RAILWAY DEAL
Facts Regarding PcnnsyIyania's
Purchase Of B. & O. shares.


NEW YORK. Dec 1.-The facts about
| the reported establishment OF new reIa-
| tions between the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroads are as fol-
lows
Within the last week or ten DAYS the
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
with the knowledge of the principal inter
ests in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has bought in the open market for himself
ana immediate business associates large
oloek OF Baltimore and Ohio stock This
purchase does not give the Pennsylvania
railroad Company actual control of the
Baltimore and Ohio road. In fact so far
as known, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has no interest in the transaction
Some of the managers of that corporation.
however believed it would be good busf-
ness for them TO make a substantial aIli-
ance with the controlling interests of the
Baltimore and Ohio system and they have
acted upon that judgment. The result of
the operation is that the managers of the
two systems are brought into the close re-
iatlons of common interest, and the gen
eral trunk line situation is obviously i'm
proved. Regarding the point that the Bal
timore and Ohio directory is elected bv
voting trustees, it may be said that at
least three of the five trustees are known
TO be favorable to the admission Of a Penn
sylYania element into the board and
doubtless, the entire trust will acquiesce
IN any arrangement made for the deve -op-
ment OF the property and for its profitable
management. AS a matter OF fact all vot-
ing trusts are of so fimsy a character that
no one would think of enforcing their pro-
visions in opposition to the wishes OF a
large and influential body of stockholders.

the navy. The reason given is the great
increase of the navy of America, which is
evidently destined to become a great sea
power.
The report from Washington that no So

no agreement can be reached between Eng

lieve that this is not quite correct and that

He and all the severely wounded, friend and

Yule set out with ablebodied troops, four

small body OF the Eighteenth Hussars. By
daybreak they were nine miles away in the

subsequently, passing unmolested through
