NEW YORK , July 12. The Tribune says :
Ono of the ccrtalntlw of the not distant
future , In the opinion of Wall street , Is fho
establishment of a transcontinental railway
line umlw Vnndorbllt control. The Boston
& Albany , the Xow York Central nnd the
Wcrt Shore nro the Vnndorbllt llnw linking
Now York ami Boston , the great cities of
the eastern seaboard , with Buffalo ; nnd
Buffalo la Joined to Chicago by the Lake
Shore , the Michigan Central and the Nickel
Plate.
The Chicago Northwestern , which is
practically a Vandcrbllt road , stretches
westward from Chicago to Omaha , where
It me ts the Union Pacific , n. controlling In-
twtBt In wMoh the Vanderbllta are credited
with holding. The western tormlnl of the
Union Pacific nro Granger , Wyo. , nnd
Offdcn. U4nh , nt both of which points
the road connects with ho Oregon
fihort Line. From Granger the Short
Line runs northwestward to Huntington -
ton , Ore. , Where It connects with the Oregon
Jlallroad Navigation line extending to the
Pacific coast at Portland , and from Ogden a
branch of the Short Line goes southward
to Mllford , UUh , from which place the Utah
& Pacific Is being built into California , it Is
reported , with a view to enabling the Union
Pacific to gain entrance Into San Francisco.
As already said , the Vanderbllts are com
monly understood to control both the North
western nnd the Union Pacific. But the
Union Pacific In turn , controlti the Oregon
Short Line and the Oregon Short Line vir
tually controls the Oregon Railway & Navi
gation company. With thoao several con
trols \\lthln controls. Wall street argues , it
will not bo beond the power of William
K. Vnndorbllt to realize the ambition which
ho Is everywhere believed to cherish of
coalescing thrso connecting lines Into a vast
system from ocean to oce.in.
While It is well understood that n cordial
understanding exists between the Now York
Central under the broad management of
William K. Vnnderbllt and the Pennsylvania
under the guidance of Its now president , A.
J. Cassatt , this understanding , extending to
the development of plans for a division of
territory In Now England and to an agree
ment to net together In the maintenance of
rates , no ono now believes , If Indeed any ono
over has bellovcd , that a consolidation of
these two great systems , occupying such
part of the Hold east of Chicago , would bo
effected. An thcso natural rivals in busi
ness are working In harmony east of Chicago
cage , so they may bye and bye bo found
competing on a bosla of good faith and
mutual regard In the western country , for
rumors are beginning to bo hoard with In
creasing persistence that the Pennsylvania ,
llko the Now York Central , Is contemplating
nn extension of Its lines to the Pacific. The
Atchlson , Topeka & Santa Fo is the road
which report has It will bo combined with
the Pennsylvania to form the second great
transcontinental system.
A third transcontinental line , Jt to be-
HoVod by not a few observers of the trend
of railway- ownership and affiliations , will
nome day bo formed by the consolidation of
the Baltimore & Ohio , the Great Northern
nnd the Northern Pacific , but this combina
tion Is thought to bo further away than
either of tha other two.
FAST MAIL MAKES GOOD TIME
ItnllrondB Continue to Triumjiort Mull
vrltli Oreat Sliced anil
IlCKiiliirity.
During the closing weeks of the year
1S9S and the opening of the present year ,
public interest throughout the middle wait ,
aa well as to the extremes of the United
Statea , was centered on the races Indulged
In by trains representing the great railway
systems competing for big prizes In the
shape of fust mall contracts between Chicago
cage and Omaha. The journeys of thcso
trains , the marvelous speed attained by
them , the clockwork regularity with which
the mall was transported from Chicago to
Omaha nnd then back again In Its course
ucroes the continent wcro matters of gen
eral interest. While the public Interest has
subsided to a degree wliero but llttlo at
tention IB paid any more to the speedy
runfl of the fast malls , the railroads have
not lessened their endeavors to contlnuo the
records made when the conteet for the fast
mall cqntract waa on. As a result , the
delivery of the malls between Chicago nnd
Omaha on the exclusive mail trains of the
different railroads continues to bo emi
nently satisfactory. . > |
One thing which the exciting race for the
mall contract resulted in which Is of general
public interest la the betterment of time and
improved traffic accomodatlons by all the
railroads. The publlo showed by the close
attention paid to the records made by the
fast malls that it was Interested to a marked
degree lu tbo matter of tlmo made , and to
satisfy the demand for better tlmo and Im
proved service the four great railroads run
ning Into Omaha from Chicago , are vlelng
with efch other In their efforts to please the
pubFlu in tills direction. Especially Is this
true us to time. Hy railroad men fast run
ning is not no important aa a reasonable
speed and strict compliance with scheduled
time. In other words , "on time" is the
wotuhword with the railroad officials who
have to do with the running of the trains ,
and n statement of the past six months , rail
road men say , were It accurately prepared ,
would show a decidedly marked Improvement
In the regularity of all the passenger trains ,
nnd by comparison with former years would
convince th publlo that railroad methods
und Improvements are constantly advanc
ing.

KANSAS CITY , July 12. The Kansas City ,
Pittsburg & Gulf railway has taken a firm
stand regarding the freight rates from the
Atlantic seaboard. Receiver Fordlce eald to
day :
"Wo cannot carry business at a loss and
neither canwe compete without n just
differential with the all-rail line.1) from the

reasonable. Wo < wlll not rccedo from It. "
Mr. Fordlco denies thnt the Pltt < jpurg &
( Jtilf is In any deal with the Kountzo Bros.

The rate of $33 from Chicago to Boston ,
which has been In operation on the eastern
lines for some time , with a proportionately
low rate to Portland , Is considered by the
Erie and Michigan Central roads as being
too low and representatives of these two
lines agreed to re-establish the normal rate
ot $38 for the Chicago-Boston trip , with a
proportionate rate to Portland. The now
rate on tbcso two roads became effective
"Wednesday of this week. The Grand Trunk ,
Nickel Plato nnd Wabasli roads claim to
have received no advices concerning the

as yet announced no change In the $33 fare.

A new system will be folfowcd hereafter
In the distribution of books to the school
children. It Is the Intention of the library
board to establish what will bo known as a
school department In the library. In the
past It was the custom to allow the teachers
) f the twclvo schools to make selection of
.he bookB In the library and when the 1'lst
originally selected was gone over by the
children to got a fresh consignment. Now
about 2,000 books , by the best authors , will
bo selected hy the librarian and packed In
aoxes of fifty each. Those books will bo
especially adapted to the tastes and ability
of the different graden. These books will
je laid aside , and win be accessible through
; ho schools. The Indiscriminate selection of
iookn by the teachers has been found
detrimental where only ono copy of each
book was In the library.

the great popularity of the Now York Cen

for through travel between the east and the

In the possession of Grand Central station ,
located In the heart of New York city , and
within trifling distances of all first-class
hotels , this railway offers greater advan
tages than competing lines. Spring , sum
mer , autumn nnd winter , It has attractions
Irresistible. . The great northern wilderness ,
the playground of the state , now beckons
its thousands. As autumn falls , America's
acenlc master-piece , far-famed Niagara , will
cralm Ite annual host of pilgrims with Its
majestic power , the fierce turmoil of the
whirlpool and nil the picturesque surround
ings , the awesome Cave of the Winds and
the several other minor attractions of the
vicinity. And when winter comes , then the
entire scene transformed to what seems a
fairyland of marvelous frost dressings , of
Icy forts and snowy palaces ; of gleaming ,
crystal prison barriers vainly striving to
bind the roaring , foaming plunge of water
will present a spectacle of weird , myste
