CRISIS IMPENDING.
Canadian Pacific Likely to Pass Into
European Control

New York. Aug. 17.-Developments of
Importance seem to be impending in
Canadian Pacific railway affairs. Hints
are heard again of a possible change in
control. European buying orders have
been executed by HaHgarten & Co, and
other stock exchange houses with for
eign connections.
One current report has it that the
company may increase its next divi-
dend, depending on the outcome of re-
ported negotiations for the sale of ex-
tensive holdings of land. The company
owns 15.500,O00 acres. The Minnea polls,
st. Paul & Sault Ste Marie, controlled
by the Canadian Pacific, is expected to
reap great benefits this year from the
crops harvested in Manitoba, Ainneso-

1t has two large arms, one extending
on either side. suspended from which
the ground, where a ditch is required,
as the engine pulls the machine for
ward these scoops fill with earth which
are then taken up by means of q crane
and dumped where a fill is needed.
Each ofrthese scoops holds three wagon
loads of dirt.
The force of men required to operate
this machine is from ten to twelve men
and the work which can be accomplish
ed is equal to that which can be done
by from thirty to forty men with or

NO FALLING OFF YET
Immense Railroad Tonnage and Rev
ennes Show No Decrease.

If railroad tonnage and revenues are
to fail off as a result of the corn crop
shortage and the steel strike. there is as
yet no evidence of it in the returns Of
earnings for current periods On the
contrary, the statements for July reveal
a remarkable record of gain
The increase shown by ninety-four
roads for the month was S6.551, $40, or
$40 per cent. Both for amount and
ratio of gain the result is the best
shown by any monthly exhibit of this
kind for over a year. The movement
is not only notably large, but it is
more general than for a long time past
OF the ninety-four roads making re-
turns only six fail to share in the in
crease.
The general opinion is that the large
increases in earnings were due to q
larger movement of grain, cattle and
hogs, resulting from the drouth. Prim-
airy markets for the four weeks in July
showed a falling OF of over 1000, 600
bushels in receipts of corn and nearly
100000 bushels in receipts of oats, of
set by an increase of 5000. 600 bushels in
wheat The cattle movement showed a
large gain and hog receipts also were
materially larger. Tt is not believed

Gail this morning says that local
railroad man has received a dispatch
from New York containing absolute
confirmation of the report that c. NJ
Hays has resigned the presidency of
the Southern Pacific railroad. The tele-
gram, it is said, comes from a source
whose reliability can not be doubted,
and it states positively and unequivo-
cally that the resignation of Mr.. Hays
is now in the hands of his superiors.
Moreover, there seems to be every like
hhoOd that the man who will succeed
Mr.. Hays will be president of both the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific sys-
tens, and that the two roads will be
consolidated under one management
that will eventually give the travelling
public a two and a half day trip be-
tween this city and Chicago, and will
place one executive officer at the head
of the syndicate line.

LESS THAN A DOLLAR.
Chanute Man Invents an Air Brake
Which is Cheap.

Chanute, has invented an air brake ap-
pliance that will revolutionize the air
mechanism on railway trains. The de-
vice makes a continuous air brake. Mr..
GosSe claims that it can be attached
to a car at a cost of less than a dol
lar, and that it will be more efficient
than the present system of air brakes
As the air brake machinery now used
is expensive, Mr. Gosse ought to have
a good thing if he can really put it
on cars for less than a dollar. The
Santa Fe boys who have seen his
model at Chanute say it works all
right.
