" Mr. Wagner has heen absent less thana monthaud Mr. Vanderbile obout slx woeks, which to tho averago business man would appear to he raticr a short thme i wlich to get relax- atlon out of a Euaropean trip. It iy uut singular, therefore, that in Wall strect, and amoug rallrond men, and jo business circles genernlly, there should have been moro or fess incredulity about the reasons assigned for thia hurrled trip of two such rallroad magnates, and that no little speenlation should: by indulged in aced. ns to what the real object of the journey was, Like many other hidden things, 1t will doubticss " bo brought to st in due season, and when it Is, it will probably bo found fo be thist Mr. Vander- Dilt has vecently got control of the newly- flnished Rochiester & Btate Line Raitroad from Itochiester, 1o Salamunca. It 1s also kuown that the Erle Rallway Compnny has for many years past inaintalned its throuen councetion With the great West by means of the Atlantle & Great Western Ratlway, Iinvieg this connee tion, the kKrio has beon able’ to keep up o rulnous compétitton.. in frelght with both the Pennstivania and New York Central Railways.

Whether the chaugos will e in tho interest ot the publle or not, time will deterintne, Another obfect of Mr, Vanderbilt's trip to Europo Is understood to have been to form s closer and more advantageous conneetion be- tween his rallroad system and somne ocean lino of steamners, It wus jeported at the thne ho loft thut ho contemplated Lullding a lluo of ateamers of his own.
