IanrIc seaboard from Maine to Florida
it was only necessary now for the Penn
sylvania to absorb, either by purchase
of stock or by securing dominating in
tiuence in directorates, such systems as
the Norfolk and Western, the CheSa-
peake and Ohio and the great Baltimore
and Ohio, with its more than 5000 miles
of tracks. These little morsels We're
well within the capacity of the Pennsyl-
vania to digest, and the deal ended
with a total Of more than $4,000 miles to
it's credit, aggregating with the Cen
trails holdings nearly $4,000 miles.
The personality of the present head
of the Pennsylvania system, Mr.. Alex
ander Johnson Cassatt. is in it's way as
interesting as that of MIR. Vanderbilt. He
was born in Pittsburg, Dec. s, 1899. He
was educated in this country and in
| Europe, graduating in 1853 as a. civil
engineer He was made third vice pres
| dent OF the Pennsylvania In 1874. first
| vice president in 1880. and in 1899 was
elevated to the presidency of the entire
| Pennsylvania system.

in his habits, as regular as clock IN
his hours of labor and yet devoted to
certain recreations and hobbies, such
as yachting, bric-a-brac, rare books
and flowers. Inexpicable as the sphinx,
he is human and companionable among
his chosen friends.
Railroads, as the late jay Gould once
said in speaking of himself. are a sort
of hobby with him and mere playthings.
He understands the complicated work
ings of their vast systems at a glance;
in a moment comprehends their intri-
cate complaints, if they have any,
and. like the trained physician, places
his finger at once on the special trouble
and suggests the remedy.
He is a money maker by instinct, a
coiner of dollars by nature. A veritable
Midas, all he touches turns to gold, and,
although he has given much to charity.
dispensing millions with a lavish hand,
vet he cannot begin to spend his ever
Increasing fortune.
This Is the man who has entered into
the combination formed by Vanderbilt
/ and Cassatt for the control of all the

! ton TO those he directly controlled there

lied" them. Mr.. Morgan held the desti-
MES of several railroads in his grasp at
that time and has since increased his
controlling interests until he personally
dominates more than 10000 miles.
These roads comprise the Philadelphia
and Reading, Central of New Jersey,
Lehigh Valley, Erie, Atlantic Coast
Line, Southern railway, Queen and
Crescent route, Mobile and Ohio, Cen
trail of Georgia and two or three small
er lines. Thus it came about that
Barkis being willing, there was formed
the great triad consisting of Wander
bilt Cassatt and Morgan, who actually
hold today the fate of the eastern Unit
ed States in their hands through their
domination of the railway situation.

seem superfluous at this time when his

Having carried the Central to the

which was promptly Forthcoming. In
effect it was this: That by cooperation
the Central and the Pennsylvania could
in great measure control traffic between
! the Atlantic seaboard and the Missis-
| sippi valley. This admirable theory

nature of a proposition, struck the
i Pennsylvania president, Mr.. Alexander

ing that of the men most prom
inent in the field of vastest oper-
ations today, that field being the
great territory traversed by our
railways, at least one-half of them
ahead almost unaided, except by that
best of rtners-opportunity. They
seized fortune by the forelock and hung
on until she rewarded them with riches
and power.
There are uncrowned kings in Amer
aca today, even in this greatest of re-
publcs; there are leaders of armies and
forces, fighting desperate battles and
winning tremendous victories, even
though our country is at peace with all
the world. There is going on at this
moment one of the greatest battles, by
which control is sought of transconti-
mental traffic between the Atlantic and
the Pacific. 1t is battle of giants, the
field of operations continent, the re-
wards of the victors riches beyond the
dreams of avarice," and power not pos
sessed by Alexander, by Frederick the
Great or by Napoleon.
When the railroad managers found
themselves blocked by a decision of the
supreme court in their schemes for con-
trolling the traffic of the United States,
they merely changed their tactics and
combined under another banner, upon
which was inscribed instead of the de-

Y: by tacit agreement only. and not by
Il mal proclamation. Nevertheless,
there was formed another combination |
just as real as the first and more nearly |
impregnable, inasmuch as 1t could not
be assailed in the courts. The processes
have been going on silently, persistent
ay, making toward a consolidation of
railway interests which, in fact, is prac- |
tically formed The understanding be- |
tween the great railway kings is COM
plete, and now there only remain to be
arranged the details by Which the rail- |
roads girdling the United States will be
controlled by a comparatively small
number of men. The kings of the rails
have not told us how they arrived at an
understanding, but the handwriting is
apparent to one who will study the
combinations and cast a comprehensive
glance over a map of the United States.
The railways of the United States ag-
gregate a grand total of 10000 miles,
or 10000 miles more than those of all
Europe, including Great Britain. or
this total at least 100000 miles are now
owned or controlled by less than a doz-
en- men, those particularly prominent in
their management being j. Pierpont
Morgan, w. K. Vanderbilt, George j.
Gould, Alexander j. Cassatt, JameslJ
Hill, e. Fl. Hartman, Jacob Fl. Schiff,
August Belmont, Jr, and William
Rockefeller.
These are the uncrowned kings of
America who may in the near future
rule it's commercial destinies, though it
is an important and perhaps significant
fact that no one of the number has been
prominent in politics or has shown
desire for political preference.
There was once poet who is said to
