TWO EASTERN
ROADS CONCUR
IN FARE SLASH
Sectional Opposition to
Move as Experiment
Begins to CrumbIe.

By Times Special
NEW YORK, June 15.-T'he solid
block of opposition to the expert
ment of reduced passenger fares,
personified by the Eastern railroads,
began to crumble today when 1t
was announced that the New York.
New Haven 81 Hartford and the
Bangor & Aroostook railroads have
decided to slash their rates to 2
cents a mile.
Up to the present Eastern car
riers have withStood all efforts to
take any part in the fare-slashing
scheme, despite the fact that West
ern and Southern lines have had
such reductions in effect for many
months.
The sudden move by the New
Haven and the Bangor e. ArooStook
came as an unadulterated surprise
to other railroad magnates in this
section. While it is too early to
project any opinions as to whether
other roads will follow the move
of the two leaders, interest is at
a high pitch.
East's Traffic Heavy
Eastern roads, who have main
tanned a basic passenger fare rate
of 36 cents per mile, have been
particularly reluctant to undertake
the experiment of a reduced fare
because of the fact that they have
enjoyed a greater proportionate
share of passenger taff1c than their
confreres in other geographical di-
visions of the country.
Their militancy. and it virtually
amounted to that, toward reduced
fare agitation has been predicated
on the assumption that any cut
would be unlikely to increase pass
enger travel to the extent that the
revenue lost by the reduction would
be made up.
There is mora to the collapse OF
the Eastern oppositionists than APP
pears on the surface. For instance,
it had been the general opinion in
transportation circles that the three
roads showing the deepest concern
for the retention of the existing
schedule of rate were the New
Haven, the New York Central and
the Pennsylvania.
Has Double Significance
Consequently, when the New
Haven has wilted in its campaign
it has a double-dyed meaning. In
the first place the New Haven has
been one of the three major OPP
ponents to fare reduction. In the
second place working control of the
New Haven is exercised by the
Pennsylvania and its investment af-
filiate, Pennroad Corp.
The question of whether lower
passenger fares are conducive to
increased revenues is an open ar
gument. Western and Southern
roads have reported that their pas
senger traffic has expanded since
the adoption of the lower rate
schedule. However, there are GER
tain other conditions which tend to
cloud the apparent benefit.
1t is expected that the Interstate
Commerce Commission will issue
some report on the reduced fare
controversy around the first of next
year.

The Bank of England, it is de-
clared, does not want the metal, and
the holders apparently are dubious
about sending it over here for tenn
porary safe-keeping. AS a result the
Bank of England and the big Lon
don banks are reported to be doing
a land office business in renting out
deposit boxes to gold hoarders.
Storage Cost Heavy
This windfall should reflect fav-
orably in their earnings, since they
collect a rental of $40 month for
each box, adding heavily to the cost
incurred by holders who already lose
whatever return this gold or its
equivalent in credit might earn if
actively employed.
The Bank of England, he declared,
has pursued a definite policy of
avoiding any reflection of the enor-
nous gold flow in its metallic re-
serves.
It's aversion to absorption of such
floating" or itinerant gold is due to
experience on several previous occa-
sionS. The bank is fully aware that
the stay of such gold again might
prove extremely short-lived, and
that its hasty withdrawal serves to
disrupt British economy.
Price Level Involved
Moreover, the British govern
ment is concerned with keeping a
stable level of commodity prices,
and it is recognized that rapid ebb
and flow of gold reserves is not con-
ducive to such a condition.
A cursory survey of the recent
movement of gold from the Euro
pean continent, as measured by the
losses reported by the Bank of
France, fortress of the gold bloc, y
tends to support the contention that
the Bank of England has studious-
ly avoided permitting imports to
register fully in its stocks.
What the huge sterling equaliza-
ton fund has been doing mean
while is not, of course, ascertain
able in consequence of the secrecy
which surrounds its operations.
But figures show that the Bank
of France sustained a loss of $729,-
100000 in gold between March 8 and
June 6. Holland and Switzerland
also have experienced reduction in
their holdings, so that the aggre-
gate flow from the continent was
somewhat larger than the foregoing
French figure.
U. S. Holdings Increased
In the same interval our holdings
of gold have been increased largely
through imports from France by
1899 100000 net. The bulk of the
balance, or some 100000, 900, has
apparently gone largely to London
But the Bank of England's gold re-
serve, though it has attained new
record proportions, has been in
creased by only $1,754,600 in that
period.
London, this engineer reports, IS
looking for further rise in the
world price of gold, and moreover,
is fearful of a currency war which
may run for another two years. The
bitter struggle for foreign trade will
forestall any early move for world
sterilization, it is believed.
A mining engineer, familiar with
mine securities, this man has been
in New York seeking information
and advice which will help him to
invest huge volume of funds in
American securities, which will yield
the best return in the American
BOOM" which London anticipates
will run into 1887. Representatives
of at least three other large London
investment firms are reported here
on much the same mission.

At midnight they returned to the apartment, but Kitty's dreamUf TO. nance was still merely a dream. After Peter had gone Kitty eyed dubiously the gown proclaimed "magnifique" by the saleswoman, who was no more French than Kit ty herself. Ah, well! This wasn't the first time ravishing apparel had failed to achieve the desired result.
 An unsatisfactory month passed. Kitty, in desperation and at Jennys suggestion, turned to having dates with other men, contriving that they escort her to Peters haunts. But, alas, all to no avail.
 Awaking late one Sunday morn- ing, Kitty wondered at the de- licious odors pervading the apart- nent. It reminde dher of the 0ld days when her mother had spent Saturday mornings baking the most luscious foods imaginable.
 
 Believe 1t or not, I've gone domestic" Jenny laughingly explained when Kitty joined her in the kitchenette.

Kitty Jeffreys had reached the
 conclusion that inveigling c
 proposal out of Peter Durant pre-
 scented more difficulty than trying i to find a seat on a crowded street
 car during the evening rush hour Tonight she watched the clock
 impatiently in the little apartment
 shared with Jenny Matthews, her
 devoted, lifelong friend. Peter was due at 8:30, but he was always late. Any other man but Peter would find you irresistible in that gown" Jenny remarked. "I don't like to admit it, honey, but I'm afraid you're merely wasting your time with Peter. He simply isn't the marrying kind"
 You just don't understand him." Kitty replied. Hes an artist. He's interested only in his career. But some day even Peter Durant is going to fall in love, and when he does I've just got to be the girl, because"
 "'Cause you're in love with him" Jenny finished understandingly. "Well, honeywell just have to do something about 1t, that's all" Kitty was indeed a dazzling pie lure of feminine charm on this night of nights. The new frock of emerald satin had been pur- chased with high hope that very afternoon at the French shop. The saleswoman's delighted exclamation as she slipped into it: "Ah, ma demoiselle - c'est magnifique" had sent her thoughts soaring. Surely the sleek lines of the gown, plus the fascinating new coiffure skillfully created by Ella of Milady's Beauty Salon would turn the trend of Peters conver- sation to something more personal than his everlasting My, new songs honey, Kitty! Goes like this---''
 For Peter was one of the nui- sances endured so willingly by the public these days, a song writer, and decidedly successful one.
 Since their meeting six months ago Kitty had loved him. But how to get Peter to reciprocate her feel ings was a problem that kept her awake when sensible folks were needing the call of the sandman.
 At Peter arrived. Glad to see me, Kitten?" he grinned, open ing his music portfolio. Here 'tis girls-my latest. Publishers say it's even better than the last one, so Fl make plenty on 1t. Wanta try it on the piano?"
 Kitty obliged with charming ease. Afterward the girls were profuse in their praise.
