That j. p. Morgan is not ONLY tho
alert. aggressive and widely powerful
fiuancer who is reported to have said
on a recent occasion. Tell the Score
tary Of the Treasury he must do it or
l Will" but also is man in whom the
qualities of imagination and sentiment
are strongly combined, is disclosed by
a writer who contributes to the forth
coming number of Appleton's an arti-
Gle explaining the dominant position
occupied by Mr.. Morgan in the finan-
ci;,l world. To illustrate this point
he tells some hitherto unpublished
s1ories OF the man who broke the
money panic by offering to lend sos
100000 at the crucial moment. One Of
these is to the effect that Mr.. Morgan
in his capacity as the most Influential
director Of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad, has prevented
the strengthening of the "air line of
this road between New York and Ros-
ten ~ the removal cf q curve nj Mid

of this curve would require the digging

son why the name Of the road has
never been changed to New England

passengers, number equal to the
combined population Of the cities Of
st. Louis, Boston, Baltimore, Cleve-
land, Buffalo, San Francisco and Gin
clnnati- This passenger movement
for the year shows an increase of 912,-
GAO over 1906, and was 1,541 ISL greater
than that Of the year 1904. West
bound travel accounted for more than
half the total, as would naturally be

bined east and west bound travel in
the year 1904. Persons who sailed
from New York for Europe during the
past year numbered 1,257,32S the ex-
cess of west bound travel being 442, 0I2
This great increase IN transatlantic
travel was not as might be supposed
confined to any particular class, but
appears in first and second class cabin
travel as Well as in the steerage both
east and west bound. The first cabin
passenger from Europe to the United
States was 101,965. an increase of TO-
1874 ever the previous year. East bound
first cabin travellers numbered 100,2S
an increase Of Sli7 over 1906. The most
sensational feature of ali, however lis
found in the steerage travel to
Europe which reached the total 550,o4J
