ULTIMATUM TO FINN. ROAD
SENT BY PRESIDENT OF BOR-
 OUCH OF BROOKLYN.

Great Railroad Corporation Must Agree
 That There Shall Be No Differentinl
 Freight Rates Against City of New
 York Before It Can Have Franchise
 for Railroad to Connect With the
 Long island and New York, New Ha-
 ven and Hartford.
 New York, Jan. 25.-Bird S. Coler, president of the borough of Brooklyn, issued a statement to-day in which he insisted that the Pennsylvania Railroad company must agree that there shall be no differential freight rates against the city of New York before it can have the franchise it desired for a railroad to connect with the Long Island and the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroads. MT. Coler sharply criti- cised the action of Comptroller Herman A. Metz and Alexander E. Orr, presi- dent of the Rapid Transit com1nission, both of whom have stated that the pro- posed stipulation against differential would be in violation of the constitution of the United States.
 MT. Coler said he feared they have been hypnotized by Edward M. Shep- ard, general counsel for the Pennsylva- nia Railroad company. He alluded to the Pennsylvania Railroad company as 'an angel of beneficence, a regular lady bountiful corporation" and said: The condition of the state government of Pennsylvania and the city government of Philadelphia has not made me eager to have New Ycrk state and city domi- mated by this railroaS,"
 MT. Ccier declared that the Pennsyl- vania Railroad company has insolently changed the entire framework of New York's city government by inducing the passing of a legislative act which took away the right to grant franchises from the board of aldermen and gave it to the board of estimate.
