GIGANTIC RAILWAY DEAL,


System.
The New York World of today SAYS:
George ]. Gould is about to become the
head of a combination of railroads with u
capitalization of 100000.
This step meets with the approval and
has the cooperation of ]. Pierpont Morgan,
the Rockefelers and the Hartman syndi-
cate. This will place the young president
Of the Missouri Pacific system in the front
rank of railroad magnates controlling vast
interests and great systems of transporta-
tion. 1t will furnish Missouri Pacific with
a direct link from the gulf to the Pacific
coast.
This is one of the greater combines" of
which Mr.. Gould spoke so enthusiastically
In an exclusive interview printed in the
World few days ago. Since his return
from tour of inspection of the various
southwestern railroads in which he is in
terested either as president, vice president
or director, he has been industriousIy en-
gagged upon plan of consolidation, the de-
tails of which have been jealously guarded
All that Mr.. Gould deemed necessary be-
fore formally announcing his plans was a
personal interview with J. Pierpont Nor
gan and the representatives of the Rookie
feller and Hartman interests The first
of these interviews, it is understood, took
place yesterday
The main object of these important con-
ferences is the settlement of a plan Of
financing the scheme of the Gould-Harri-
man syndicate for the combining of the
great systems of railroads leading from the
northwest to the gulf. These are now con-
trolled by William Rockefeller George j.
Gould, E. II. Hartman, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
and other interests.
The unitcation of the Gould system of
railroads under the control of the Mis-
souri, Pacific will include the Missouri Pa
ciffc, st. Louis and Iron Mountain, St Louis
Southwestern, Texas and Pacific, Interna-
uonal and Great Northern, Wabash, Mis-
souri,, Texas and Pacific and the Denver
and Rio Grande. George Gould has Just
bought controlling interest in this latter
railroad, and 1t is intimated that he pur-
poses to utilize it as an important factor
in the construction of the greater Missouri
Pacific system, of which he will De the
head.
1t is known definitely that the roads
named will be included in the scheme of
consolidation, but it is probable that when
the negotiations now pending shall have
been completed it will be found that the
list will have been augmented by the ad-
dition of the Illinois Central, Chicago and
Alton, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, the
St. Louis and San Francisco and the Kan
sas City Southern.

stion in which the promoters show their
faith by investing their money and asking
Mexico only what might be considered the
basis of legitimate partnership In any
country. The federal income is not so
large that there is money to throw away,
but there is always certain and quite
considerable amount spent each year for
the permanent betterment Of the plant Of
modern Mexico.
There was time few years ago when
American capital was apparently discrimi-
mated against in Mexico in favor of I'm
glish, German and French money. This
was shown also in the trade statistics, for
it is only recently that the United States
has secured half of the foreign trade OF
Mexico. AS it is now the United States
buys IS per cent of all Mexico has to sell
and sells her only so per cent of what she
buys. This discrepancy is disappearing,
however, though gradually. English
French and German trade is losing ground
in proportion as the American trade gains.
This is due to a better understanding of
the needs of foreign commerce by Ameri
can manufacturers and larger investment
of American money in foreign enterprises.

blunders made by impetuous Americans
seeking foreign trade in competition Win
the wealthy English, the patient Germans
and the ingenious French. 1t is still true
that the weight of the moneyed interests
in Mexico is not American, but is Euro
pean. The American interest has grown so
large, however, and so influential of late
that it is now able to more than hold it's
own. ]. D. WHELPLEY.

uate OF the Geneva, now Hobart, College.
In 1851 he was made an assistant in the
smithsonian Institution here, being placed
in charge of the researches on climatology.
His works on atmospheric physics were

and the existing titles were not disturbed
