ture Along tho Lake

mas been brewing Tor some time be-
tween the Grand Trunk and the Rut
land Railway Co. has eliminated in
the former road issuing circular an.
nouncing that In the future it will
handle no freight which comes over
the South Shore road, with which the
Rutland railway is connected Yes
| terday arrangements were made for
the Rutland road to run into Montreal
over the Canadian Pa ;ifc.
The order making this change was
| announced in circular issued by Mr..
John Pu len, general freight agent Of
the Grand Trunk system, as fol ows:
effective on and after Nov. 10, all
traffic received from or delivered to
the South Shore Railway at st. Lam
bert must be way.billed at the cur
MT tar Il rate or authorized special
rate in effect to a1d from St. Lambert
as the case may be.
"All through tariffs Cor through
special rates in E Effect between points
on the South Shore Railway and sta
tions via the Grand Trunk Railway
System will expire Nov. 9, 1901
The tie 'minal facf tiles afforded the
South Shore trains at Bonaventure
station have also been Withdrawn ana
neither their cars nor locomotives
now cross the Royal Victoria Bridge.
The Rutland Railroad has made ar.
rangem ,nts to enter Montreal by way
of Grand Isle, trains running In and
departing from the Windsor ST., sta.
tion on the Canadian Pacific railway.
This arrangement is effective on and
after Sunday Hext. These negotia-
tions were discussed and completed
between Sir Thomas 81 aughnessy and
Senator p. w. Clt ment, president OF
the Rutland.
1t is also stated that the Rutland
railroad is in no way involved in the
controversy between the Grand Trunk
railway and the South Shore railro. d.
The Grand Trunk people do not care
to discuss the situation beyond saying
that their terminal facilities al BONA
venture are somewhat congested and
that they prefer building the freight
business aS indicated by the circular.
The real cause of the rupture, how
ever, is the fact that for some time
past the Rutland railway, and inoi-
rectly the Quebec outhern and South
Shore, are believed TO be controlled by
1T, have been negotiating with the
Canadian Pacific railway for running
powers from NOyan Junction and lber-
will over The c. P. r. tracks to Wind.
sor street station.
The Rutland and South Shore
freight, which heretofore has been
handled by the Grand Trunk and Cen
tral Vermont, will now pass under
the control of the Canadian Pacific,
all Of which is further indication
tina the South Shore Shutfles are all
in the interests of the Vanderbilt 1
Webb combination.
At the last meeting Of the directors
of the South Shore railway it was de-
cided to extend the road from st.
Lambert to Caughnawaga, thus con-
Meeting the RutlAnd-S )uth Shore sys.
TENS with that Of the Canadian Pa
citic. All the connections necessary
have alsu been put In by the Rut. and
at Iberville to transfer on to the G. P.
R. and the new time cards of the g.
P. r. will embrace the Rutland sys-
tenn In Canada and its connections.
The corporate name of the new
South Shore system will probably be
the Montreal & Quebec Southern, en-
bracing the South Shore and Quebec
Southern roads, and Of which Mr.. A.
II Harris will be traffic manager.
