new LINE FROM LAKES
The c. & Q. 1t IS Planned, Is
To Be Eastern End.

NEW YORK, December u.-(Special)-
The Pere MISUNDERSTANDING Valley syn
dicate appears to have an ambitious pro-
ject in view. In addition to enecting
connection with the ST. Louis and San
Francisco Line the Morgan people are
now seeking a deal with the Chesapeake
and Ohio. thus forming new route from
the ocean to the Great Lakes.
The Chesapeake and Ohio joins end-on
the kanawha and Michigan, SO the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Hooking Valley
properties make very direct line from
the Lakes to the Southeast aeahoard- The
coal In the kanawha field Is of superior
quality and possibilities for development
OF the coal traffic from this section to
the lakes mako the Hooking Valley with
it's allied lines a very desirable property.
Wall Street operators point out that since
the Chesapeake and Ohio is controlled
jointly by the Pennsylvania and Wander
bilt interests, the ownership of the Hook
ing Valley and allied properties would be
Joint ownership which would not, in any
way, disturb existing relations or COM
munty Of interests.
There are many suggestions a. to what
could be done with the Hooking Valley.
but insiders are keeping their own coun-
sell and express wonder that the public
should be interested In the matter until
they get ready TO tell them, but new
transcontinental route seems assured.

The FORAKER BILL,
Richmond Veterans Ap-
prove It, But. Will Take
No Formal Action.

The general consensus of opinion among
the Confederate veterans here in re-
gard to the bill introduced in Congress
by Senator Foraker, appropriating $780,
600 for the purpose Of erecting slabs to
the Confederate soldiers who died in
northern prisons. is the least said about
the matter the best, and If anything is
to be said it should be expressions Of
thanks to the Senator.
Confederate camps here were seen yes
ion They felt that the war is now a
thing Of the past, and the best that can
be done Is to take advantage of every
possible opportunity to heal the breach
Regardless Of Senator F'oraker's motives,
and even If they should be selfish, the
results could be nothing but good
Even if ne, In former days, showed a
tendency to antagonize the South 1T is
possible. that he has seen the error OF
his way and that his intentions are now
the best.
The action of the Lynchburg veterans
IN expressing thanks is endorsed here,
though there is little probability of the
camps Of this city taking any action
whatever The matter has not yet been
brought up, but in case it should there
seems little doubt that consideration Of
it will be voted down.
Tho veterans here feel that il Con
aress, in its generosity, sees fit to mark
the graves Of the Confederate dead, it Is
a matter over which they have no con-
troll, and in which they should enter
tain nothing but the kindest feelings.

thentic sources, to contribute IL an appal-
ling degree to the slum population. to
