Jay Gould's Capture of Two of the lowa Pool Lines. fie Is in a Falr Way to Achleve the Sumnmit of His Am- bition. - Which Is the Control nf.vs Continuous Lino Between New York and Ban Francisco, Miscellaneous Items of Interest to Rallway Men. JAY GOULD'S CAPTURE. + The dispatch in Tie Trinuxs of yesterday regarding the remarkabls revolution in” the management of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and the Chicago & Northwestern Ratl- ronds was the principal themo of discussion In i railway circles yesterday. The news, however, ‘dld not come unexpected, It was stated in Tur ‘TRIDUXE more than & year ago that Mr. Gould was trylog to obtain control of one of the fowa pool liues leading from thiseity to Omuha. What surprised the rallway men was the fact that he galned control ‘of twoof the Hnes, It having been the gencral. Smpression that ho was nfter ono of them only. The de- sire of Mr. Gould to control a through line from the Atlantie to the Pacific O)coan has long been known, and had he obtalned control of citlier the Rock Island or Northwestern aloue no unusual fmportance would lave been at- tached to tho event, As it is, however, thero s more in the movement than the single ambition - to control a lino from New York to San Fran- clsco, for the Rock Island or Northwestern alone would have sufliced to furnish the desired Mok Betweon Clleago and Omaha, The fact that he secured control of buth lines scoms to bo pothlug more nor less than & confirmatlon of tho statcment made in these columns a week or two sgo,—that Mr. Gould was about to maks war upon the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy Rallrosd, DLecause he elloved that road to be responsible for the fight which is now being waged agatnst the Unlon Pacific by Mcsars. Forbes and Perkins on hehnlfof the Missouri River Rallroad{n Nebraaka, to compel that road to pro-rate with the latter from Kearncy Junction. Though the Burliog- ton Raflrond does not control tho Butlington & Mlssour] Riser Rallroad in Nebraaku, yot it Is principally owned by the same stockholders, and Messrs. Forbes and Perkins are leading ofllcers of both the lines. The oflicials of the Bur)lnflcn & Quiney disclaln all campllclfiq in the fight maite arainst the Union Paelfie, but Mr. Gould and othicrs interested in the latter fuslst that it Is responsible for the courso pur- sued by the Nebruska Road. Thero aro thireo roads leadIng from this city to Omabin, and the oarnings on the throuch business of tue threo lines aro pooled. As long as this pool exists Mr., Gould cannot fizht the Chicago, Buvlivgion & Quincy as he should like to, for It would sbarc fn the protits arislug from the business given to the other two lines, 1lis desiro to brealk up tho povl _is therefore e:ull{ cexplained, and this he could not accomplieh without getting control of the other two lines, Now that he has control of hoth.the llock Island and Northwestern the pool caunot be maintalned against hia wishes, and ho can wage an offectlve war against the Burlington In order to compel it to give up or induce tho Burllngton & Missourf River Raltroad, In Nebrasks, to lglru up the fight against the Unlon acifle cat. Tue Northwestern Railroad, which was much _ecasier and clicaper to bo obtalned than the Rock Isiand, would have auw)llcn\ Gould with the desired link between Chleago ana Omahia, but he could not have struck the Burlington in its most vital spot—tho South- western business, ILis obtaining control of the Tock Island, which runs dircct to Leavensorth, ves Hm a chanco to make o fkht on thal usincas ea well 28 on the business to and from Omaha and the Puctfic Coast: Thia maove Is not only apt. to break up thu Iowa pool, but the Bouthwestern Rate Assoclation pool. ‘Trin- une reporter ealled upon Iresident Iarris and , General Bupesinteudent . Birong yuster- day sfternoon “in onder to et thelr vicws In reaord to this matter. Both entlemen sald that they had no idea what Mr. fiunld meant to do, yet they were' inclined to think that he Intendcd to mako: war upon them, and that this was his principal oblect in getting control of both roads. ‘The Union Pacific had. becn discriminating agalnst their road for some timo paat, but, owing to the pool, he could not doaswell as ho desired, - They deplored the prospect of a disastrous rallroad war, bt wero not In the Jeast discouraged, nor willing to ho “ulidozed * by Jy Goilld or anyhody clse.

The lowa poal has worked very satlse factorily and been very boenelleinl to thie rouds belonging to it.

The road has been very succcssful under hls mnnlfiemunh awd hls placs could mnot well bas filled with an erltmll good man, Besides, ho had been with tould on the Erlo Railroud for many years, and that gentleman has the hizhest opmln ol his abulities as u railrosd “manager, aud is, not likely to dispense with his valuavlo services.

Tuercis a probabllity that Presideat Keop may mve way to Dillon or Gould, but Mr, Hughite will nudvubtedly ba retained as Gener- al Mouager, as no better tun could possibly be ,found to step into his shoer.
