2 TUE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, DECEMDER 6, 1878, about 4,000,000 bushels In our elcvators, ®hile there were only something over 1,000,000 at Milwankee, True it mighibe that grain was going by tho short-cut routes to the seaboard, 8L cheaper rates, and true It might be that Milwaukee would mot now have half this miil- - fon and & quarter of graln in her elevators the railruada had not done wrong in carrying grain to that city st unfair rates; but, in aplte of all this, Cnicago was not suffering, but her receipts were dally increasing, for this ity 13 not dependent now ou the samo rources of supply that aha was whenshe (st wuined her reputation s a praim centre. Wider producing areas had been opened up, and while the raflronds were taking grain nround this city, as allered, they tvers also being forced unavoidably to bring grain here to that extent that Chicago's importance as a commerrial centte was dally growing, and, {f men would Jook at the matter In a rational light, it would be ecen that this state of thinga must, from the nature of things, endure. During therconversation much moro was satd, hut while {t nppearcd that the Rajlroad gl Warchouse.Commission might be expected (o do somethiog to put aquictus to unjust dis- crimination, shuuld proof thereof be vbtalned, 1t did not appear low goon action might he tuken, except that some time nexy weok some- thing might be done perhaps. COMMODORYE, _ GARRISON'S BIG FIQHT. To the iitor of the New Tork Bun: Nearly three years ago the Missourt Paclfic Rallroad be- «came Involved to such an extent that foreclosure was necessary. Commodore C. K. Qarrison Bought it, and has been running it ever sinco in atr economical mannet. Roleased from the old contracts with the Atlantle & Pacific Raflroad and tho expensivoness of dishouest and irre- sponsible etnployes, the concern has been make ing monoy. 'The new stock undor the reargani- zation s onty £300,000. It Is not upon tne lsts of the Btock Exchange, but is entirely owned by Commodors Garrison. It I sald that the Toad s clearing, over and abova all expenses, interest, and construction, a sum cqual to the amount of the capital stock—I. e., 100 per ctut. peranoum, Whea Commodore Garrlgon first bought this wproperty and sct his wits to work to make it productive, Wall street did not regard hismove- nent as especially signilleant. The Comnmodore Is well along In years, and with his enormous wealth sufely invested and constantly at his fm- mediate command, it was supposed that he woulil not cnre to launch out in new enterpriscs. It secins, howevér, that Wall street lelt out one important lactor i the prodlem,—the pug- nacity of the Commodore. I'robably of the great capitalists known to the present genera- 1ion, thera 1s none so eminently pugnacious as he. His lite has heen one suceussion of contests {for the control of corporations, and In many of }lme his phystcal vourage has been an important eature. So when the Commodors obtained control of Misronrf Pacitle, and found out that ho coutd make it pay, he was naturally Jealous of com- petition. ‘The 8t. Louis, Kansas City & North. ern Raliroad, the other most {mportant trunk line in Missourd, and ran {n harmony with Mis- rourl Pacille, was threstened by the Chicago & Alton with opposition, aud st year a line was contracted for from Mexico to Kansns City that wounl orove ndirect competitor. The Chicazo & Alton tesuvd £3,000,000 of bonds, and the con- etiuctfon of the naw liua has been pushed for- ward vigorously. This arouscd tho -combativencss of the Com- modore, and ho bezan to cast about for reprisals, ‘Fha chief enemy of the Chicago & Alton “Rail- road is the ‘Toledo & Wabash, The Chicago & Alton runs uearly north and south, from Chl- cago to 8t. Lonls. The Wabash runs cast and west, but it lias o dozen of branches that tap tho Chicago & Alton along fts line at various inter- vats, and divert the grain and mercliandiso that would otherwlse go to Chicago beforg starting for the seabuard, ‘The Chicago & Alton lind been gradually decreasiog in carnlugs owing to this potiey of the Toledo & Wabash, until it be- eame necessary to sell bonds to nay even 7 per ceut dividends. 8till Chicago & Alton held u practical monopoly of the through business on passengers and treight between 8t. Louls and Chicago, and the corporation could uot be Lruken down unlcss this was impalred. Here the Commodore saw his opportunity. Tne Toledo & Wabnsh held control of the Chicago & Paducah latlrond, the lino of which was purtllv finished. . About seventy milea only were Jelt to bufid, the section bein already graded, When Unished, the new line would furnish a route slx miles shorter than Citeago & Alton between 8t Louls and Chi- cago. It wos difficult to get teady mone enough to finish it. When Commodare Garri- son had carefully .canvassed tho situatlon, he quietly bought ¢nourh Teledo & Wabash stock to obtnfu cuntrol, and a fortnight ago he secur- ed the resiznation of certain members of the Board; he was then elected to the Presidency, and fllled the vacancles with men of his own selection. Then be told the Boord that the Toledo & Wabash must floish the seventy miles of rond betweon Bt, Lonis and Chlcago, e put the matter beyond dispute by agreelng to Turnish the money to comploto It out of his own pocket. ‘To say that the offictals of tho Chicago & Alton were suroriscd, {s to put {t fal m.l(. Thelr stock broke 4 per cent, and was ouly rallled by o report thot Commodore Uarrison lu(-uuh.! Bob carry out the bullding of the new ne. Yesterday we called upon Commodoro Garri- son unlu substantially the following conversation cusued. **Why do you build tuls now road into Chi- eagoi " *'1 want an outlet for tho Missourl Pacile, I don’t pruposs to be at the merey of nset of men like those in the llliuots Central and the Chilcago & Alton.” **1t Is said on the strect that the reason why you have arranced to bulld this Hoe fs bhecouse tne Chieago & Alton is butldiug in Miveouri and tapuini your business{ " “ Well, they naven't tapped any of It yet; but if they keep on bullding long enouch, tlicy may. 1 guess they'll have enough to do to take caro of thelr tine fu 1linols fo 4 few woutbs witbout puttertng around in Missour] " *Ta what extent will thy new line injure the busineas of the Chicago & Altoni" **1 think that we shal cut thelr frelght snd passenger carnings between Chicago and St, Loufs at least 45 per cente In that casv they Will not be uble to pay dividends upen any of thelr ctock, nnd thelr guarantee will be worth nothfug upon new bonds, 1 rather think tuey :\‘nu'svuu much raflroad bullding in Missour ien. * It {3 sald tu the strcet that you do not in- tend to bulll the new lue, but hold It as cudieel to [righten the Alton people,” The Commodlore turned squarely fo his chalr, and spoke with an ugly sort of ouergy 4 If the Chicago & Alton peoble vame to me beggine ou thelr koees, 1 would not give u Lullibye the new road.
