II the Metropolitan system succeeds In
getting franchise for the building Of sub
ways between The Bronx and the Battery
traffic agreement will be made with the
New Haven railroad. Representatives OF
the two companies have been considering
the possibility Of entering into such a work
ing arrangement, and yesterday John b.
Mcdonald, who Is now allied with the Met
ropolitan interests, received this telegram
from President G. s. Mellen Of the New
Haven road.
You may state 20 tho Rapid Transit Com
missioners that we have agreed upon con-
nection with our Willis avenue station and
Tor Interchange Of business at that point
between your proposed subway and the New
Haven road. you are authorized to state that
the relations between our companies are
most cordial at the present time and that
as result Of negotiations you anticipate
that they will be more so.
This puts an end to the reports circulated
from certain sources for months that the
New Haven company had allied itself
with the Belmont interests. Several dl-
rectors OF the marlborough company are
also directors Of the board Of the New
York and Westchester company, and the
statement has repeatedly been made at
public hearings in the fight between the
Westchestcr and Port Chester companies
that the New Haven was backing the West
chester corporation. Mr.. Mcdonald Is
identified with the Port Chester corpora
ton and with the Metropolitan.
The New Haven company has already
let a 5000 900 contract for the construc-
ton OF a six track railroad, upon which
electrictywill be the motive power, between
New Rochelle and the Harlem River. Sur
veys are also being made for the building
Of branch Of the road from Woodlawn to
Van Nest and thence to a contemplatedlarge
terminal at Port Morris, where a connection
could be made with any Of the proposed
East Side subways and with the line to
Queens and Brooklyn to be constructed by
the New York Connecting Railroad Com
pany. BY making arrangements with this
company and one Of the subway COM
panies, passengers from all points on the
New Haven system could reach destinations
in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn In far
less time than II would take them to travel
through the Park avenue tunnel and then
transfer at the Grand Central Station to the
subway local lines.
The telegram sent by Mr.. Mellen to Mr..
Mcdonald is taken as showing not only
that the New Haven company has decided
to work with the Metropolitan, but indicates
also that there Is a firm belief on the part Of
the heads of the New Haven company that
the Metropolitan route wfn be adopted by

BLEW IN $4,000 IN FIVE DAYS.
GUldneid Saloons Soon Got All OF q Lucky
PrOSpectOr's Fortune.

GoLDFIELD. New, April 14.-Edward
Chase, for twenty years a prospector in
this State, struck il rich a week ago. He
and his partner sold a newly located claim
for $4,000. 1t has taken Chase just FIVE
days to run through SIS 900, his share Of the
sale.
Chase started in on Monday 10 spend
his money. He was broke to-day. This
noon he borrowed money enough TO equip
himself for another prospecting tour and
started out again.
While he had the money Chase endeavored
with fair success to keep every drinking
man in Goldfeld intoxicated. The saloon
keepers took advantage Of his condition and
charged him from SIS to 500 a round for
drinks, When he got tired of buying
drinks he threw gold away in the streets.
He had a good time, he says, while the
money lasted.

yesterday to the debate about whether
Thirty-fourth street shall be given over
10 the exclusive use Of q moving platform
or a four track trunk line, connecting the
upper Fast Side and the Grand Central
Station with Herald Square and the Penn
sylvania Railroad station by an announce
ment that the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, whose new terminal
is to be at Mott Haven, on the north side
Of the Harlem River, was very much inter-
ested in the subject Of securing a track
connection with the two other steam rail-
road terrniT ais by way Of the Mcdonald
routes As il has not been denied that Mr..
Mcdonald is negotiating with the New
York Central people for a direct connec-
ton with the new station TO be situated
on the Harlem River, the question as to
what the Rapid Transit Commission will
ultimately do with Thrty-fouTth street

corning the moving platform proposal,
