MORGAN GOES TO EUROPE.
A Long Voyage to Consult william
IA Vanderbilt.

NEW YORK March 2S.-J. PierpOnt
Morgan sailed for Europe on the White
Star liner Teutonc today. His stay abr BAD
will be brief. but it promises to be i'm
pOrtant. He is to meet William X. Van
derbilt in London to arrange. it is said.
big railroad deal for which Wall Street
has been waiting and hoping for at least
two years. Important European financial
interests are also to be seen regarding
the same matter.
These statements come whispered from
close friends OF Mr. Morgan. They say
that. although arranged some time ago.
the hurried trip is not TO the liking of the
big financier.
But the matter is too important TO be
neglected. even though the death OF
Charles II. CosteF has complicated affairs
in Mr.. Morgan's Office TO such an extent
that his absence at this time is, to say the
least most incUnvenient.
Beyond that it directly concerns New
York Central and its allied lines init
nation of the real nature of the matter
which makes necessary conference be
tween Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Vanderbilt can
be obtained. Wall Street knows that the
two men are more closely allied now than
ever before. and that they had plans in
common for the development of big rail-
road schemes even before they stood to-
gether in the December panic to protect
mutual interests and one another's friends.
1t is known that the Morgan and Van
derbilt railroads are now working harmo
niously. even as they never did before. and
Wall Street has vague notion that in the
Vanderbilt plans for the Western extern
sion of the great New York Central sys-
TEN. Mr.. Morgan cuts more of 4 figure
than is generally believed.
Therefore the knowing ones Of the Stock
Exchange district are jumping at nasty
conclusions as to the real meaning of Mr..
Morgans trip abroad. But neither Mr..
Morgan nor his friends are given to telling
tales. and meanwhile Wall Streets guess
eS are only gueSses.
