NEW YOItK, July 13. The Tribune
says: One of tho certainties of the not
llstant future, In tho opinion of Wall
Btrcct, Is the establishment of a trans
continental railway lino under Vandor
bilt control. Tho IJoston & Albany,
tho Now York Central and tho West
Shoro are tho Vnnderbllt lines linking
New York nnd Boston, tho great cities
of the eastern seaboard, with Buffalo;
nnd Buffalo Is Joined to Chicago by
tho Lnko Shore, tho Michigan Central
and tho Nickel Plate.
Tlio Chicago & Northwestern, which
Is practically n Vnnderbllt road,
stretches westwnrd from Chicago to
Omaha, where it meets tho Union Pa
cific, a controlling Interest In which
the Vnnderbllts nro credited with hold
ing. Tho western termini of tho Union
Pacific nro Granger, Wyo., nnd Ogden,
Utnh, at both of which points the road
connects with tho Oregon Short Line.
From Granger tho Short Lino runs
northwestward to Huntington, Ore.,
whero it connects with tho Oregon
Tiallroad & Navigation lino extending
to tho Pacific coast at Portlnnd, and
from Ogden a branch of tho Short Lino
goes southwnrd to Milford, Utah, from
which plnco tho Utnh & Pacific is being
"built Into California, it Is reported,
r.ith a view to enabling tho Union Pa
cific to gain entrance Into San Fran
cisco. As nlrcady said, tho Vanderbilts
nro commonly understood to control
lioth tho Northwestern nnd tlio Union
Pacific. But tho Union Pacific In turn
controls tho Oregon Short Lino and tho
Oregon Short Lino virtually controls
tho Oregon Railway & Navigation com
pany. With theso sovcral controls
within controls, Wnll street argues. It
will not bo beyond tho power of Wil
liam K. Vanderbllt to renllze the ambi
tion which he is ovorywhero believed
to cherish of coalescing theso connect
ing lines Into a vnst system from ocean
to ocean.
While It is well understood that n
cordial understanding exists between
tho New York Central under the broad
management of William K. Vanderbllt
and the Pennsylvania under tho guid
ance of its new president, A. J. Cassatt.
this understanding, extending to the
development of plans for a division of
territory In Now England nnd to an
agreement to net together in tho main
tenance of rates, no ono now believes,
If Indeed any one hns cvor believed,
that a consolidation of theso two grent
systems, occupying such part of tho
field enst of Chicago, would bo effected.
As theso neutral rivals In business nro
working In hnrmony east of Chicago,
so they may byo and byo bo found
competing on a basis of good faith nnd
mutual regnrd In the western country,
for rumors arc beginning to bo hoard
with Increasing persistence that tho
Pennsylvania, Hko tho Now York Cen
tral, Is contemplating an extension of
Us lines to tho Pacific. Tho Atchison,
Topekn & Santa Fo is tho road which
report has it will bo combined with
tho Pennsylvnnia to form the second
great transcontinental system.
A third transcontinental lino, It is
"believed by not a few observers of tho
trend of railway ownership and nfllli
ationB, will some dny be formed by tho
consolidation of the Baltimore & Ohio,
tho Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific, but this combination In thought
to bo further away than either of tho
other two.

A GLASII OF SENATORS.
r
Mr, Chandler (lorn After tlio Scalp ot
Mr. (laltlnger.
CONCORD, N. 11., July 13. Repre
sentatives of the United States civil
service bureau began a fitting hero
for tho purpose of Investigating charg
es preferred ngalnst Senator Jacob II.
Galllnger of Concord by former repub
lican Governor Charles A. Buslcl, al
leging violations ot tho civil sorvlco
lnws during the last campnlgn in this
state. Tho specific charge Is that Sen
ator Galllnger, ns chairman of tho re
publican stato committee, distributed
circulars appealing to republican office
holders for contributions to the cam
paign fund.
Governor Buslcl read a long statc
mcnt ns to his reasons for noting In
tho matter, saying thnt ho wns anl
mated by a dcslro to seo that tho civil
service laws, In which ho bollocd,
Bhould bo wisely enforced- Tho lnvlsh
uso of money In elections wns n mon
uco to our uatlonnl Institutions Ho
was not nctuatcd by any unfriendly
fooling toward Senator Gnlllngcr In
prosecuting these chnrgos, and ho had
no deslro for "revenge."
Sonntor Chandler then camo forward
with his statemont, which ho prefaced
by n Bhort history of his connection
with political committees. Ho said ho
retired from tho republican national
committee In 188-1, and from tho stato
committee In 1890. Sonntor Chnndlor
continued:
"I said to Sonntor Gnlllngcr In 1893
nnd again in 1S9C, that ho ought to
leave tho stato coinmltto for reasons
connected with tho civil service law,
but ho would not go. In 1890, mucn to
my surprise, ho took tho chairmanship
of tho stnto committee. After I bad
recovered from my surprise I wont to
him to endeavor to co-oporato In tho
work of tho campaign. Wo tnlked
over the means of raising money,
both ngreelng thnt very llttlo would
bo needed. We spoke of Individuals,
or nominees for state offices, but noth
ing was said of federal ofllco-hoKlers.
This was on October 10. Between that
time nnd October 17 I heard tha: an
assessment circular had been sent to
foderal oincers. Govornor Buslcl asked
mo If I know of this assessment. Ho
said ho had reason to believe that n
circular for assessment had been sent
to ofllco holders, and ho produced a
circular which had oeen cent to rtnto
officers, nnd c:ld that some of thorn
had been sent to federal officers. We
had a long conference, tho result of
which was that ho said ho would com
plain to tho civil service commission
unless some way could bo found to
prevent these oincers from being as
ECSECd.
"Accordingly Governor Buslcl with
my knowledge, nskod the commission
about tho terms of tho law. Ho camo
to mo later and said that ho had do
tormlned to mako a complaint. In this
I concurred, and tho letter ot Octuoor
21 was prepared, containing tho names
of thoso to whom It was bollovcd tha'.
the circular had been sent. I did not
go again to the commission during the
campaign. Tho rest of my connection
with tho business was ail In the cor
respondenco with tho commission. -I
called on tho commission when I went
to Washington Inst fall, and told them
that I would bo at tnolr service. Thl
Is substantially nil I wish to say. It I
find that tho federal ofllco holders who
have been requested by tho commls
sion to appear hero do not come, or
If they como nnd do not testify, I shall
toll tho commission all I know about
tho matter."

WASHINGTON, July 13. Inquiry

Paul Jones, tho great naval hero of

Tho Fccretary of state recently ad

of tho United Stntes embassy In Pnrls
nsklng whether tho gravo of John Paul

Ho has received a roply from Mr. VIg
nnud saying that, although he has
made earnest and frequent Inquiries
of tho city nuthorltlcs In regard to tho
matter, he hns been unnblo to discover
tho whereabouts of the gravo. Ono
thing established by his Inquiries,
however, he says, Is that John Paul
Jones wns not burled In tho cc I otcry
whero the remnlns of Lafayetto Ho, as
has been supposed by some people. In
another qunrtcr It Is Intimated that,
owing to a custom prevailing In Paris,
tho remains of John Paul Jones were

of years and that upon the oxplratlon

brown podwor. At first the gun wns
fired out to sea. Tho steel sholl
struck tho water threo times, proving
to tho officials that In caso the aboil
struck tho water boforo striking tho
mark, tho charge would not explode.
Four charges of oxploclvo gelatine
wero next fired from a Sims-Dudley
pneumatic gun. Thc30 charges wero
fired In safety and wore successful,
It was nald.
Tho greatest Interest of tho day,
however, was centered about tho ex

Tho Gormnn snlvaKera aro elated at

In honor of tho return from Europo of
Hon. Chnuncoy M. Dopow. Mr. Dopow
wns tho principal speaker. Ho said, In
part:
"In Europo I found that thero was no
sympathy for Spnln on nccountof hor
defeat In the Into war. I found nothing

Why don't your country squnro Agui
naldo. Wo havo found In oiir wars
with tho nutlvoa of enstern countries
thnt thoy cannot bo trusted, nnd nn
booh as you mako nlllcs of them you
will And that thoy will stab you In
tho bnck. Wo tried tho plnn In Egypt
of Bubjugntlng tho natives by forco of
arms and then wo tried nnother plnn,
which worked Biicccssfully. Wo found
thnt to bring tho natives to tho right
way of looking ut manors oi impor
tnneo wns to squnro them.'

"In ti,v liiilirmnnl wn hnvn not annro-
clated thoroughly tho situation in tho

tho bravery of tno mon who aro more.
They wnnt tho honor nnd glory ot
lighting tho contest nnd winning with

"I think It Is n mistake. Wo should
bend ovory energy and send such n
forco to tho Philippines nB would crush
out these rcbols In less than six weeks'
time. Wo should bwocp these Insur
rectionists boforo us. Whon wo havo
captured n strotch of torritory wo
should havo a forco thoro of sufficient
strength to hold It. Tho wnr should
bo carried on In such a way as to
drive Agulnnldo nnd IiIb crow Into sub
