A CONSOLIDATION PERIOD
WILL RESULT IN SEVEN IMPORTANT
RAILROAD INTERESTS.
Ohio Coal Operators Ask the Roads to
Help Them Out by Reducing Rates
To Crowd Out Indiana Coal.

II is the opinion of one Of the most
powerful railroad interests in the United
States that within five years there will
be but seven important railroad interests
in the country, and that there may be
only five, says the Wall-street Journal.
The inception Of this belief, which is
understood to be shared by many other
railroad authorities, marks the practical
end of such loose minority control of great
railroads as was the vogue five years ago.
The belief is an outgrowth of the period OF
consolidation.
During the past few years there have
been several important changes, almost
every one of which serves to strengthen
the belief that IL important main lines of
railroad are left uncontrolled by their
putative owners there will come time
when other and rival interests will bid
for them. Pennsylvania. St Paul and New
York Central are, perhaps, immune from
danger through the vast extent OF their
capitalization or through the power of the
interest that at present administers their
affairs; yet il is worth remembering that
the Standard Oil interest has at times
been credited with desire or intention to
control all. three.
Messrs. Gould Hill, Hartman, Rookie
Teller and the Moores west, and Rockefel-
Ter. Vanderbilt, Gould, Morgan and Cassatt
east, are solidifyfng and assuring the con-
troll OF the important properties they own.
They Will continue to do until not one
of the roads owned by any one of these in
terests can be by any accident cut out
from its control.

There seems to be misunderstanding
over st. Louis worlds fair rates among the
members of the Central Passenger Asso-
citation lines At the session held i'm Chi
cago the cheap coach excursion rates,
stop-overs at Chicago and other arrange
ments were not perfected The friction
over the question of granting stop-overs
at Chicago on worlds fair tickets was
most pronounced. Some of the roads, hav-
ing no direct outlet to St Louis and COM
pelied to take passengers by way of Chi
cago, failed to see any good reason why
persons going 10 the exposition should
not be permitted to spend few days in
Chicago If they wished to. The opponents
of the proposition say they are not ami
mated by Ill will toward Chicago, but feel
that If stop-overs granted the ticket
scalpers of Chicago would manipulate the
tickets and cause a Generalization in pas
Senger rates.
