CUBAN CENTRAL ROAD
1T WILL EXTEND FROM ONE END OF
THE ISLAND TO THE OTHER.
DihrentiaI Question Assuming Trou-
bIcsome PrOpOrtions-Busy Times
with Railroad shops.

W. l.. Taylor, attorney general of the
State of Indiana, returned. yesterday, from
a trip TO Cuba. While absent he was
thrown a good deal into the company of
Sir William c. Van Horne. chairman of
the executive committee OF the executive
board of the Canadian Pacific. and also
president OF the Cuban Central road and its
chief promoter. Mr.. Van Horne is devoting
his entire attention to the building of the
Cuban Central road. which will be a main
line 800 miles long. extending from Ha-
vana 10 Santiago. with branches extend
Ing In each direction from the main line to
the sea, which. when completed. will make
a mileage OF some two thousand miles.
The main line, Mr.. Taylor says. will trav-
erse the backbone Of the island, passing
through a partially developed territory,
which can be utilized 10 great advantage
in raising sugar cane. tobacco. oranges and
herding cattle. Mr.. Van Horne told Mr..
Taylor that the soil, in richness, excels the
soil of that of the best part of Indiana
three-fold. on the line of the proposed
road there are no railway recommendations
and the people are much pleased over the
prospect Of getting a railroad. Mr.. Van
Horne expects to have the main line COM
pleted and trains running over the greater
portion of it within one year. and the UNI
d~erstanding is that the promoters of the
road will not stop with building the road
but viii build steamers and have their own
lines from Cuba TO American ports The
flrst electric car was run in Havana last
week and Mr.. Taylor was aboard of it. y
second line Will be opened this week. The
track n equipment compares faV0raDly
with that of the electric lines of this coun-
Try.

The p. & n. Takes the l.. v.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
said last evening: "A semi-oficial an
nouncement was made to-day that the Lee
high Valley Railroad has been turned over
to the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
and will hereafter form part of the Read
ing system. which also includes the Jer-
sey Central Railroad. J. Pierpont Morgan
has been the dominating influence i'm Lee
high Valley affairs for several years, but
It was only recently that he came into
full control of the property. This control
ne is said to have secured by the pur-
the Asa Packer estate. At the time Of that
transaction "a report obtained cTedence
in Wall street that the Lehigh Valley
road would be made a part of the Erie
system. The absorption of the Lehigh
Valley by the Reading system restores
made by Archibald Mcleod about ten
years ago. when he undertook TO ANAL
gamate the Reading, Jersey Central and
Lehigh Valley road. This combination
proved too unwieldy at that time.
Special meetings of the directors OF the
Reading Company. the Philadelphia &
Reading Railway and the Philadelphia x
Reading Coal and Iron Company have been
called for Wednesday next, when, il is said,
the resignation of Joseph S. Harris as pres
ident OF these companies will be accepted.
George A. Baer, of Reading. will be elected
as his successor. At the meeting of the di-
rectors of the Central Railroad of New Jer-
sey next month Mr.. Baer will be elected
president of that corporation. Mr.. Baer,
in speaking of the proposed change in the
management of the Reading Company
yesterday, said there would be no chance
that Mir. Harris would remain a director of
the Philadelphia * Reading Railway.
