THE HOMESEEKER RATE
WESTERN LINES COVERING NEW
TERRITORY WITH REDUCTIONS.
C.. s. Cranes Circular to Employees ON
the w~abash-New Trains Creating
New Passenger business.

The Western Passenger Association is
extending homeseekers' excursion rates
over more territory than was previously
covered. while a movement is pending in
the Central Passenger Association terri
tory to exclude these rates from some
places where they have hitherto been In
vogue. 1t is hoped by the movement now
on foot among the c. p. A. roads to on
set, If possible. the attitude of the w. p.
a. AS long as the homeseekers. rate has
been in existence it has never been al
lowed to enter the territory known in rail-
road parlance as Colorado common points;
bat when the rate was made again effective
very recently some of the lines, thinking
TO make 1t obnoxious, spread it even to the
Colorado common points. The other lines
are not to be outdone in this, for they
have met the condition advanced by the
few, so that now all Western roads are
selling second-class tickets into Denver.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May lit is more
than probable that McGraw and Robi-
son. manager and catcher respectively. of
last years Baltimore league team, and
who have been released to st. Louis, will
accept the terms offered by the manage
ment of that club. They received a tele-
gram from Frank De Haas Robson, pres
ident and principal owner of the st. Louis
and Cleveland clubs to-day requesting
them to meet him in Cleveland for a con-
ference. They have accepted the invita-
ton and will meet Mr.. Robson to-mor-
row. McGraw was offered 5000 to manage
ST. Louis this year, and Robison's sal
airy with his bonus will amount to s.. 800
for the seasons work. Their friends nave
been urging them to accept, and 1t is
thought that an agreement will be arrived
at Cleveland tomorrow.

J.. ". Midgley and Robert Eastman, Of
Chicago, who nave about completed an i'm
portant deal with the Mexican government
will soon return home. Mr.. Midgley is well
known in railroad circles. having been for
twenty-five years commissioner of the as
ISOLATED lines west of Chicago. These gem
tlemen were invited by the government
to examine the project for the construc-
ton of a railroad down into Yucatan,
starting from the isthmus of Tehuante-
pee, the line now being reconstructed by
Sir Weetman Pearson. The connection
with the railroad system of the republic
will be made by means Of a road that
Frederick Bishop Mason, an American con-
tractor, is now building from a point on the
old Vera Cruz line down TO the Tehuante-
pee. The importance of this new line will
be seen when II is said that it will put the
City Of Mexico and all American cities in
connection with Yucatan and Guatemala.
TO which a branch line is being built. 1t
will be the first section of the great Pam
American Railroad to open up Central and
South America. The first part of the line
will connect this city with the port Of Cam
peche and the whole line, when COM
pleted, will be one thousand miles long,
making IL one OF the greatest trunk roads
Of this country.

Creating New Business.

Acting On the belief that every employe
of the Wabash has the interest of the COM
pany at heart, General Passenger Agent
c. s. Crane has addressed circulars to en-
ployes in all departments, including shop
men. which read as follows: Having in
mind the fact that 1t is to the interest OF
all employed by this company TO do what
they can to increase its revenue. / would
respectfully request employees in every de-
partment to promptly advise me of all
whom they learn are contemplating a
journey to any point; and, If convenient.
TO notify the nearest and most available
passenger representative of this company.
Information of this character will be very
thankfully received and prompt attention
will be given to all such advices." Mr..
Crane takes the correct view of this mat
ter. The employe who cannot comply with
the request in the foregoing is derelict In
his duty. The shopmen are not expected to
make any special effort to drum up trade,
but If they happen TO learn Of any con-
templated journeys wherein the company
could sell transportation, II is expected that
they will notify the transportation depart
ment.

A Correct View.

The increase in the passenger business In
Central Passenger Association territory
is shown by the success of the new trains
which have very recently been put in serv-
fee. Both the Big Four and the Lake Shore
have added new trains, which are running
on much faster schedules than anything
that existed on the roads prior to that time.
The reports OF the Big Four are that this
new train Is financially a success and is not
detracting from the business of the other
trains. II appears. therefore. that the new
train is almost creating business. 1t cam
not be said that IL is drawing business
away from its competitors to- the West,
for the Lake Shore reports that its new
fast train to the West has very much the
seme record. The conclusion TO which rail-
road men nave come is that the new serv-
ice has been cultivating business and is
paying Its own way out.

An executive officer OF the Pennsylvania
Railway stated at Philadelphia yesterday
the object of that company in acquiring
the control of the Long Island Railroad.
The traffic of Brooklyn. he said. with it's
more than one million inhabitants, had
been almost entirely confined TO the East
river front. All of the freight brought by
the railways to that city as well as that
taken from there for distribution through
out the country has been carried on car
floats or lighters between terminal points
from the different railways and the piers
and freight yards along the East river.
Not only are these facilities limited and
crowded, but business and manufacturing
industries nave necessarily been confined
10 the very restricted districts along the
water. On the other. hand, the tracks or
the Long Island Railroad forms a belt line
extending around the outskirts of the
built-up part of Brooklyn from the Thirty
fourth-street ferry 20 Bay Ridge, with
lines into the various centers of the city.
These lines afford the means of establish
ing freight depots. yards for carload de-
iently located. They also afford opportuni-
ties which will. no doubt, be extensively
awaited of. for the erection of manufacto-
ries Of all kinds requiring direct rail con-
nections. When the new freight terminus
of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Green
vile, opposite Bay Ridge, is completed
connection with the Long Island system
will be made at Bay Ridge by a compare
lively short car float ferry. Meanwhile,
the present transfer barges with Jersey
City will be used. but ultimately a tunnel
from Staten Island to Bay Ridge may be
built. In that case traffic between the
Pennsylvania Railroad lines and New Eng
land would pass through the tunnel and
over the Long Island tracks. and the pro-
posed bridge at Wards Island to a connec-
ton with the New York. New Haven &
Hartford Railroad.
