caused No little comment among rail
road men last night and today. Those
In sympathy with the interests OF the
city Of Baltimore are inclined to doubt
the statement of the man. who is deeply
interested in the financial success OF the
road Credence is given the statement
by New York railroad circles and there
Is much gossip on Wall Street as TO the
attitude of the Pennsylvania Company.
The latter system bitterly contested
every move made by the GOulds in get
ing into Baltimore and a more bitter
contest was waged when the Wabash
sought entrance into Pittsburg. In fact
the fight there became so bitter the
question OF the Wabash entering the cir,
became plank in the platforms OF the
parties at the recent municipal election.
The Goulds won and now the manage
ment announce their purposed entrance
into Washington. Although there is no
council TO block the way here. Con
gress will be called uDon to give its
sanction AMI there will be no question
OF the success of the GOulds. Washing
