Fpsetal Dispateh to The Tridune, New Yonrx, Jan, 20.—Rallroad-men regand it rxtremely probeble that the Western-hound frefznt ponl will share the fate of the East-bound pool and break up. 1t was learned to- dav that, st meetine of representatives of the trunk{ Jincs last week, Commissioner Fink oresented a demand on behalf of the New York Central Raflrnad for an fnereasel of percentage from 83% to 40. The demund was based upon sn alleged Increased buslaess derived from several Western connections recently brought under the control of that road. The proposition met with decided opposition, and it is sald a very stormy discus. tlon took place. The representative of the New York, Lake Eric & Western Com- pany ¢lnlmed (hat his rosd had also larzely In- creased its facllities for transportation, and he considercd it was entitled to an equal percent- aze with the New York Central, The Pennssl- vania Company's representative sald the feeders and terminal facilities owned by bis road were not infertor to those of any other line, and clafmed that the percentage allowed it was al- ready too amall, A similar stand was taken by the reoresentative of the Baltimore & Oblo Road, Abp adjournment was taken until to-day without action. At the appointed hour Messrs. Willlam H. Vanderbiit and J. H. Rutter were present on belilf of the New York Cen- tral, but nohody appeared for efther of the oth- er three liner, After walting a while an ad- Journment was taken until Monday next, on the alleged ground that President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohlo Kallroad, was too Il toat- tend, aud 1hiat it was consequently impossible to geta quorum. It 1s sald that Me, Vanderbilt s firin n his determination to bave an fncreased percentage, und that the frie Company Is cqually determined not togrant it, ani is, more- over, in a position to back up fts refusal. THE FREIGIT WAR. Tnstead of an Esst-bound pool and an ers of barmony aud peaco smoug the varlous Eastern roads, there will no doubt be another seson of turmoll and strife. The rallroads began hostili- fica a week or two ago, and dav by day the dif- ficulties are getting more complicated and seri- ous. Not only are the rates belng cut on the freight business but on the passenger business also. Uptoto-day the cutting was confined to the foreigh through business and the busi- ness to Eastern seaports, but since yesterday the rates are also belng elaughterced 1o Buffaly, Pittsburg, and other Interior points. 'The Van. derbilt ronds are reported to have made con- tracta yesterday for grain to Pittsburgat 18 cents per hundred, and the Pittsburg &’Eorl Wasne are following euit with a similar reductlon to Pittaburg. This actlon is sald to have hoen hastened by the Clicago & Lake Huron Road {aking business fnto Canada at 15 cents per hundred. The principal diflicully, however, grose from the alleged jealoury of Vauderbilt towards the Pittahure, Fort Wayne & Chicago and the Pennsylvahis Railroad, which have been duinz a mucli larger business lately than the Vanderblit roads, and Vanderbilt is said to at- tribute this to unfalr dealiug on tbe part of the Pennsylvania people. The lafter, however, einim hat they innintained the rates as long e he Vanderbilt lines, and that shippers prefer- ring to ship over their line was simply due lo the better facilities offered by them, THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL. . The article in yesterday’s TRINUNE regarding the efforts of the Grand Trunk and Great Weat- ern of Canada, atded by the Erle, to wrest the coutrol of the Michigan Central from Vander- Dbilt, created quite a sensation, not only among rallroad men but also among stiippers, many of whoin are ansthing bLut friendly to Vanderbilt. It 1s gencrally believed that the Canada ronds will be successful, und that the Michigan Cen- tral will change ownership at the annusl clec- in June. It 18 clalmed by partfes who ought to know tuat, the .Canada . roads siready control some flve milllons of Michlzan Central flock. It was also rumorcd last even- ing that Vanderbilt, to keep control of the Mictigan Central, threw several millions of Lake Shore stock on the market yesterday. As soon as this was found out, Commodore Morgan and ofhiers conuected with the Erle went in and bonght that atock, nui this was the reason of the advanco in Its value yesterday. Thus Vanderhllt finds himsclf between two fires,~the Caunda roads on ong sido trylng to get control of the Michizan Central, and the Erle on the otlier with an eve on the Lake Ehore & Michiean Southicrn. It is believed thut he will be forced to let go of one or the other of the two roads, ‘The Penurslvania and Balti- more & Qhio are also sald to be aatagontstic to Venderbilt, and that_ to be alding the Canada roads und the Erle in‘their war agaivst him, TTEMS, « ‘The Chicago, Milwaukee & Bt.
