SURE TO GET A FRANCHISE.
Opposition to Pennsylvania Tunnel is
Fast Disappearing.

The New York Tribune of today says:
Borough President Cantor, who has been
the leader Of the opposition to the granting
Of franchise to the Pennsylvania railroad
to build and operate tunnel in this city,
says there will be no "hold up of the con-
tract and he thinks the contract will be
approved at once.

posed to the franchise and have not been
opposed" he said, yesterday. II have been
merely insisting on better conditions for the

ceded several important points, and
think that on September II. when the next
conference takes place, We shall obtain still
more. I have insisted on a so-called labor
clause, and shall continue to demand it.

LAS soon as satisfactory agreement is
reached at the conference it will be re
ferred to the railroad committee of the
board of aldermen, which will undoubt edly
report favorably the franchise, and Il
Will then be promptly passed by the board of
aldermen. All these stories that there is a
hold up I do not believe. l do not believe
that any one is opposing the franchise for
money consideration. If I thought so |

RAILROAD WAR OVER.
Peace Fixed Up Between the Goulds
and Pennsylvania.

A dispatch from Baltimore, Md. yester-
day says: 1t was rumored In local financial
circles today that the Goulds and the Penn
sylvania interests had arrived at an agree
ment, and that the hatchet would be buried.
The arrangement as reported is that the
Gould proposed trunk line out Of western
Maryland Is not to be interferred with, but
that they must not build their line east
wardly through the state Of Pennsylvania,
nor enter the community established for
the maintenance Of stable rates. The con-
cessions to be given the Goulds include, it is
stated, traffic agreement to use the Bal
timore and Ohio between Cumberland and
Cherry Run, thus rendering unnecessary
the proposed paraIlellng of that line to con-
meet the West Virginia Central with the
Western Maryland.
1t is even said that the traffic arrange
ment will be ultimately extended as to
give the Western Maryland the use Of the
Baltimore and Ohio between Pittsburg and
Cherry Run, and that the present line be-
tween these places will be shortened and
double tracked to accommodate the in
creased business. This would stop another
projected paralleling of the Baltimore and
Ohio. The Reading is also drawn into this
scheme Of harmony, and the report says
that this system will grant the Goulds traf-
fc rights to Philadelphia and New York.
