CONCERNED IN DEAL.

Washington. May %. While the
eyes of The whole country have been
centered on f. II. Hartman as the
master manipulation OF the railroad
world. a greater and more extensive
combination of railroad interests has
been in progress of perfection until
now the plans are matured for the
public declaration of this gigantic
merger.
A Colossal Scheme.
More than a thousand million dollars
capital are involved and the mileage
Of the new system will extend practi-
cally from the most northern part of
the Atlantic coast TO the Sul fports,
with a network of tracks sridironing
New England, the East and Middle
West and tapping the greatest freight
producing territory i'll the world.
This colossal merger when perfected
viii be known as the greater Pennsyl-
vania system. 1t will include four
great systems, embracing practically
all the railroad mileage in New Eng
land, together with the present Penn
~ lihCS S"S oiiN "SSt VI q 'N''
burg. with through connections to New
Orleans and Mobile on the gulf.
Panama Is Keystone.
Instead of projecting a transconti-
mental line from ocean to ocean, the
keystone Of the new system will be the
Panama canal. TraversinR as it does
the most congested sections of the
United States and reaching every
great industrial and manufacturing
center east of the Mississippi, it will
afford an outlet TO the products OF this
vast section to all the ports Of the At
lantic north of the Potomac, and also
give them a direct route to the Orient,
via the gulf md the new isthmian ca
nal when completed.
Melien 10 the Master.
Charles S. Mellen is credited with
being the master min that conceived
this vast project. Mellen and his as
sociates in this great project feel as
sured according to he hest informa-
ton at their command, that there will
be no opposition to or criticism OF
their venture on the part of the admin
istration. as no competing parallel
lines will be merged except in the case
Of a few unimportant branches.
