The plans of the Vanderbilt-G Could
Morgan Hartman syndicate are grad
tally working out. Since the lease Of
the Boston and Albany, which fur
nished the necessary key to the con-
troll Of the New England railroad sys-
tenn, another very important step has
been taken.
This step was the consolidation Of the
: Pullman Wagner Sleeping Car com
panies which is much more important
in the Development of the great COM
bination than appears on the surface.
BY the terms Of the agreement the in
fluence Of the strong pool of stockhoId-
ers in Boston and Maine, headed by
Marshall Field, is TO be thrown to the
Vanderbilts, while the powerful opposi-
ton TO the Vanderbilt transcontinental
system which the Pullman interest IS
aroused in the west is now Withdrawn
If the deal had been permitted to go
through one year ago. the Wagner
Palace Car company would have re-
ceived the sleeping car contract for the
transcontinental line. Now, of course,
ii will be controlled by the Pullman
company which is hereafter to be DOM
mated by the Vanderbilts.
THE BIG RAILWAY COMBINE.
The great railroad combination over
whose outline the master railroad
minds Of the country are now at work
is not to be an actual merger Of the

systems.

The VANDERB|LTS lead.
The Gould, Morgan, Hartman and Other
Interests Follow and Want the Deal
to Include an Arbitration Board
to Maintain Rates and Re-
duce the Expenses.

The Pullman and Wagner companies
will now control practically the sleep
ing car service of the United States.
The consolidation of these two concerns
is virtually the launching of a great
sleeping car trust
This trust need not cause the public
serious apprehension, for evils to which
it may give rise can be overcome with
comparative ease, if the public will but
demand its share Of the benefits that
may accrue from the consolidation. In
deed. the travelling public may demand
from the trust concessions which it
neglected to ask from the constituent
corporations themselves. Sleeping car
charges, like railroad rates. are subject
to regulation by legislative bodies, and
it is high time the right of regulation
were exercised. The excessive profits
Of the Palace Car companies are am
pie evidence that their charges are too
high for sleeping cars. This latter
service is by far the most important
source of income to the two car com
panies. The gross earnings of Pull
mans Palace Car Company for the year
ended July 81 1899, were 81, AIS, $50, of
which s9,74S,577 came from the earn
ings of cars in service, while the re-
turn from manufacturing, rentals, in
terest, etc, is only s1,730,35 The ex-
penses of the corporation for the same
period were Sc 033 915, leaving net earn
ings of S5445014. which amount was
sufficient to pay dividends of s per cent
on the capital stock and to leave 81
295,4e4 for surplus account
The accumulated earnings had be-
come so large that on Aug. Is of last
year an extra cash dividend of 20 per
cent was paid. On Oct. 70 of the same
year a stock dividend of 30 per cent
was ordered, which had the effect of
increasing the capital stock from $50.
100000 to s54000.0G0. Surely, such a
concern, even without the benefits ac-
cruing from consolidation. can afford
TO reduce it's charges to the travelling
public. Moreover, it should be com
PEELED by law TO lower it's charges.
So far as manufacture for sale is
concerned, the patrons of the new car
trust-the ~ railroad companies
powerful enough to protect themselves
from any attempt of the new concern
to take advantage Of consolidation to
raise prices.

of the main purposes of the proposed
pool.
That tribunal, however, is so limited
in authority that the railroads will
probably ask of congress some amend
ments to the present interstate COM
merce law, giving the commission judi
cial authority in all matters connected
with railroad disputes, as well as the
power to enforce it's own judgments.
II may take several years to per-
feet the great plan, but that it will be
finally worked out, all prominent rail-
road men agree.
UNIFYING PROCESS
In the meantime, the Vanderbilt and
Morgan groups viii busy themselves
with solidifying their interests. The
coal trade has already been placed on
a profitable basis, and the absorption
Of the Delaware AMI Hudson and Bos-
ton and Maine by the New York Cen
trail, an the New Jersey controlled by
the Lackawanna, are some details
which are to be attended to within
the next year.
II is probable also that the transcon-
tinenIal line, composed of Boston and
Albany, Boston and Maine, New York
Central. Lake Shore, Northwestern,
linton Pacific Oregon Shore Line and
Oregon Railway and Navigation, will in
the meantime be put together.

Rev. Peter MacQueen,a who has made
an enviable reputation for himself as
correspondent in the Philippines,
comes down hard on Gen. Otis.
In Berkeley Temple, Boston, on Sun
day, he said that "Otis might make
first class car conductor on one of our
great railroads, but he is not person
to place in charge of American inter
ests in the orient"
This is not given as Mr.. MacQueen's
personal opinion, but was quoted by
him as the paragraph of personal let
ter sent to him by one of the prominent
officers in Lawtons command The
statements of the letter were very
strong, and showed a wide diversity of
opinion between Otis and his officers.

Mr.. MacQueen concluded his re-

strangely lacking, but his natural abil-

between various groups of roads to

they can in turn discipline for offenses

bruise it severely. became very much
swollen and panied him so badly that he
could not walk without the aid of
clutches. He was treated by physicians,
also used several binds of IMMINENT and
two and a half gallons of whisky in bath
ing it, but nothing gave any relief until
he began using Chamberlain Pain
Balm. This brought almost a complete
cure in a weeks time and he believes
that had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated. Mr..

is unequaled for sprains, bruises and
