Pacific headquarters between Sir Will
lam Whyte, vice-president in charge Of
Western lines, who leaves tomorrow for
England on an important mission. and
j. g. Stuart, vice president and general
manager of the Erie Railway.
The meeting, it is said. substantiates
rumOrs during the last year with refer
ence TO the merging Of the American road
by the great transcontinental system Of
Canada. For many months the Erie has
been linked i'm some mysterious manner
with the Canadian Pacific Railway
When other railway stocks have fallen
on the market the Canadian Pacific has
stood high. and for some hidden reason
the stock of the Erie has stood corre-
spondingly high
The control of the Erie would give the
Canadian road an immediate connection
with New York city.
