NEW YOHK, Dec. 4. representatives of
practically every rallroml running west of
Chlcapo, with the exception of the Oreat
Northern road, held a meeting today In
this city. Tin- business of tho session
unusually brief, nntlrely routine and
had to do chlolly, If not entirely, with
tho problem of maintaining freight and
passenger rates throughout the vast coun
try traversed by thrso roads.
I'orhaps tho most serious problem which
presented llsrlf to the railroad men was
the Increasing car famine, which at this
time taxes the capacity of all tho more
Important ronds. No conclusion was
reached on this point, but It was sug
gested that It might be necessary to make
a, per diem charge, Instcnd of a mileage
charge, for thn uso of cars,
Ilegirdlng the rato situation, freight and
passenger report submitted Indicated that
they were In a fairly satisfactory condition.
Thcro were no complaints of rate-cutting.
Innepli Khiispc I'rcdlilrn.
In somo points thcro was a disposition
to attach significance to evidence of a
Orcat Northern report. It was reported,
however, that the affairs of Mr. Hill h road
would bo amply subserved by others pres
ent at tho meeting. No representative of
tho Intcratnto Commerce commission at
tended tho meeting, for tho reason that
no business bearing on the affairs of this
body was transacted.
In thn nbscnen of Chairman K. T. Jeffery
of tho Denver & Itlo Grande road, who In
now making a tour of tho southwest with
Oeorgo J, fiould, thn presiding ofllcer was
Joseph Ramsay, Jr., of the Wnbash road.
After tho mooting Mr. Itamsay said tho
real business of tho conference was trans
uded nt the monthly meetings held In Chl
ongo, and that a quarterly meeting was
held In this city to glvo opportunity for
conferences with tho presidents and direct
or, hut an n mattcr of fact no meeting had
boon hold hero for a year, and this meeting
.was somewhat of a disappointment, owing
to tho fact that so fuw of the presidents
and directors wore able to bo present. Ses
sions wore hold In the morning and after
noon, and tho meeting adjourned shortly
before fi o'clock to mcot inChlcago Do
ccmbor 9.
Solely n, Itnlp (.'oiiforriirr.
When asked as to whether there had been
any discussion as to poenlblo Interference
by western governors or tho Interstate
Commorco commission with the Northern
Securities company Mr. Itamsay said the
conference had nothing to do with such
matters and that tho question had not been
touched upon, as It, was purely and solely
a rate conference

NEW YORK, Dec. 5. Tho Tribune this
morning sayR; Tho statement was made
yesterday that James J. lllll would soon ro-
tlrn from the president y of the Great
Northern railway, which he has held for
many years, and that ho would bo succeeded
In offlco hy his oldest son, J. N, lllll, who
a few days ago was elected first vlco pres
ident of tho road. Jafnca J. lllll would
probably continue to bo n director of tho
Great Northern, It was added, hut ho de
sired to bo relieved from the detail work
necessarily devolving upon the executive
head of the company and especially In view
of the fact that he has Just taken up tho
dutlos of president of the ) 100,000,000 North
ern Securities company.
It was said that Mr. Hilt's retirement
from tho Great Northern presidency would
probably bo followed by his removal to
this city as his home, although It was be
lieved that he would contlnuo to maintain
6 legal rcsldcnco In St. Paul.

General Manager Illdwell of the Fremont,
Elkhorn ft Missouri Valley rnllwny returned
yesterday from tho end of tho Verdigris
branch, where ho put a force of surveyors'
at work platting the new extension Into
Niobrara and then west across tho Niobrara
river Into Iloyd county.
Mr. nidwetl speaks enthusiastically of tho
produce possibilities In the region to he
tapped by this extension and says that
actual construction will begin Just as early
next year as the thawing of tho earth will
permit.
Tho bridge necessary to crost tho Nlo
brnra river will be between SOO and i'OO feet
In length, but despite this fact and the
delay that must ensue before any construc
tion can be commenced, Mr. Illdwell Is
fairly confident that the Fremont, Elkhorn
ft Missouri Valley line will haul crops,
cattlo and other produce out of Iloyd county
at the close of next fall's harvest.
It woh last Wednesday night that Mr.
Illdwell took the surveyors up north with
him. They went to work tho next day and
are establishing, first nf all, tho line from
Verdigris to Niobrara, which la the samo
county, Knox, nnd Is eleven mllei north
and one mile east of Verdigris.
The gang will then turn directly west
townrd Iloyd county, the cast border of,
which Is Just fifteen miles distant. Thn ob
jective point Is Lynch, nine miles Inside the
comity line on Ponca creek. This thirty
five miles of projected railway being enough
to keep thn surveyors busy for n tlmo, Mr.
Illdwell hastened back to Omaha on his
way to Chicago to confer with President
Hughltt nnd other officers of the Northwest
ern system as regards their further plans.

William M. Powell, mayor of Yankton,
S. D.; Is In the city, where he will remain
for n few days.
"I am Bill! talking up n railroad direct
from Omaha to Yankton," suld he. "It Is my
hobby nnd I will -never ren content until
that road Is built. If tho people of Omaha
knew of the resources of the Jim river val
ley which that road would make tributary
to Omaha It would be built next year. At
the prefent time all of tho traije of tho
southeastern part of South Dakota goes
practically to Chicago, with a little going
to Sioux City. Thcro are two lines to the
oast and both go to Chicago, while the
routn to Omaha Is Indirect.
"There aro several railroad projects u
view- In which Yankton expects to get Into
direct communication with the south and
west, but none of them hns materialized lit
a degreo which will warrant a statement
that they aro assured. If some of them
are carried out It will mean that Omaha
will not only miss the trade of southeast
ern Dakota, but that It will lose some of
that of the western part which Is now
tributary to this city. The line to the Jim
river vnlloy would settle this matter for
ever and Dakota llvo stock would be found
on the Omaha market In numbers which
would surprise everyone."

A matter wdilch received a great deal of
attention was tho missionary work done by
the Publication society through Its chapel

-was not properly tho business of a Publica
tion society, It waa urged, and yet on tho
bluer hund It has grown to treat dimen
sions, Tho chapel cars especially are very
well known In thn northwest, where tho
work has been favored by tho railroad com
panies, whero It has been tho means of es
tablishing many Baptist churches.
