RAILROAD RUMORS.
President CulIaSyny OF New York Gem

trail Makes n General Denial.
New York, May S.-President Calla-
way of the New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad company returned
to-day from a brief visit to Chicago.
His attention was called to report in
morning paper that the Central had
obtained control Of the Boston and
Maine and the Main Central properties;
that the Fitchburg road would be leas-
ed to the Boston and Maine, and that
the Central people would practical
ly control the railroad properties in New
England inasmuch as the Vanderbilts,
]. Pierpont Mongan and William Rookie
feller already had large holdings in the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
system.
Mr.. Galloway denied that there was
any truth to the story. THE newspa-
pers print a story about the Central one
day he said, "and the next day the re-
porters call on me to deny it. The Cen
trail has nothing to do with the Boston
and Maine road despite these stories"
Mr. Galloway also denied that the Cen
trail was in any way interested in the
purchase of the Long Island road by the
Pennsylvania system. "All I know Of
the sale Of the Long Island system" he
said is that the Central had no hand
in the deal" Mr.. Galloway added that
he supposed some company was pur-
chasing the Long Island road, but he
would commit himself no further.
In reference to the report sent out
from Boston yesterday that the Amer
ican Express company had suddenly
turned up as controlling owner of the
Boston and Maine, Treasurer Charles G.
Clark said this afternoon: eve do not
own, by any MEANS enough of the stock
to command a controlling interest The
reports from Boston have been very
much exaggerated"
The price paid by the Pennsylvania
for the Long Island is said to have been
par fo ra majority of the stock For
the minority holdings about eight was

10 WELCOME BOER DELEGATES.
Action of New York AIdermen-Brice
Defends IIitntn.

New York, May S.-A committee
which has been working In this city In
the interest of the Boer republics called
on Mayor Van Wyck to-day and asked
him to officially welcome the peace dele
gates of the Transvaal, who are now on
their way to this country. The mayor
was asked to appoint committee Of
100 or $50 to make preparations for the
reception of the delegates and extend
to them the freedom of the city. The
mayor said he would be pleased to re-
ceive the delegates and extend to them
all the courtesies Of the city, but he had
made it rule not to appoint commit
tees for the reception Of foreigners and
he would not do 50 in this case
Later the committee went before the
board of aldermen and asked that body
to appoint reception committee. The
board adopted a resolution providing
for a welcoming committee of thirty to
be composed of fifteen aldermen and fif-
teen members OF the municipal council
The resolution as adopted declares that
the municipal assembly Of the commu-
nifty of New York hereby extends well
come to said delegates of the South Az
assurance of the earnest sympathy of
the citizens of New York In their noble
struggle against the aggression of the
government of Great Britain.
The resolution also requested the mayor
to receive a committee of one hundred
to welcome the representatives
at the city hall upon their arrival.
When the Boer reception resolution
came up in the municipal council Stew
art M. Brice objected to It's considera-
tion. II think the council should be
for hysteria,'' he shouted.
1--WE ought to sympathize with Eng
land, that stood by us in Manila Bay
when Germany and the world wanted
to pound US, instead of sympathizing
with d lot Of nuts down in South Afri-
ca that never heard of America"
1.-THE gentleman is out of order" said
Vice President Oakley, who was in the
chair. "The question is"
Question nothing. There is no ques-
tion about it. You are a lot of FOOLS"
'oared Mr.. Brtce. II think If the gen.
tleman were inoculated it would serve |
'or the whole council" said Mr.. Oakley. |
Goodwin made a speech in

oers voted for it except Mr.. Brice.

A City Charter.

The Transcript wants a new city
charter. The charter matter is one
that needs much study and careful
thought. TO adopt a new charter
merely to allow certain people to en-
gulf the city further into debt. and
to promote the schemes of a few
would be poor policy.-Herald.
The Herald is right in advising
caution, but that any new charter
could add to the ability of anyone to
increase the debt of the city seems
impossible. Under the workings OF
the present charter there is no check
or hindrance to increase the city
debt-and that is the very impor-
tant particular in which a new
charter could be made immensely
superior to the present one. -
These are matters upon which the
entire community should agree.
There can be no question but the
present charter is very deficient
one, and that the people of this city
could make a much better one. .., s..

to give the company's affairs the
careful attention they are entitled

siderably increased. The satisfac-
tory adjustment that has been made
