As far ag the outstanding tlekets between St. Louis and Kansns City sold by the Alton are concerned te same ganie can- not be played. by the Wabash, because the Missouri Pacific {s made an Involuntary par- tleipator In tne contest. — The Missourl Paeite’s prinetpal earnings are derived from the Kansas City passenger business, and Mr, Gould, who fy the principal owner: of this road, will see to it that the he alsu holds a large interes the contest os far as the Kansas Cite trame from St. Louts Is concerned, as the Missourl Pacific cannot afford to have its principat source of income taken away by competing lines. Thesefore the Alton is’ very likely to gain more on its passenger business be- tween Kansas Clty and St. Louis than it fuses on the same business between Chicago and St. Louls. ‘The Wabash evidently forgot to calculate upon the chances when it com- menced this war, and it will now find that the gaine It is playing ean be pinged by two, The people, however, that will be most dis- appolnted in this matter will be the specu- Jatora who have been purchasing thousanils of dollars’ worth of untinited tickets in the expectation that the former regtilar rates would soon be restored again. ‘They will find that when the rates are restored they will be such that no margin of profit will bo left tor then, Aa this war Is causing considerable com- ment, and but little Is known regarding the causes which led to It, it will bo well to give a history of its aril.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Pmttavervia, Oct. 15—Thomnas Wilde Powell, of London, tho representative of the Lord Cairns committes of English bond- holders, and other creditors of the Reading Companies, 1s now here, Je has come to this country at the expréss request of such large holders of Roading securities as the McCal- mont Mrothers, Lord Cairns, Richard Potter, and others, who hnaye always been consid- ered strong supporters of Mr. Gowen, and it {s understood he hos full power to act for them, He expressed himselt very fully on tho subject, of tho ending Companies’ troubles, It. scoms there Is on Rto- fount feeling of dissatisfaction with Mr. Gowen In London, which began to be felt In 1877, When he refused to foin the coal combl- nation, after ho had soknnly promised tho London bondholders he would do go, and on that promise induced the holders of the gen- oral mortgaze bonds to aceept half their in- terest In cash for slx years, and take scrip for the balance, Mr. Powell nlgo says that Mr. Gowen will not reeelve the support of tho English bolders for the Presidency at the election in January. When it is understood that Mfr. Powoll represents the MceCalmont Brothers, who are holders of Reading stock to the extent of 165,000 shares, nnd other gentlemen who own intense blocks of stock and heavy amounts of bonds, the Importance of his views can be esthnated. In reference to the sentiment existing among these English creditors, there Is no question that. thoy are disposed to bo rensonably fulr to the junior Interests, but not to any extent which will further, en- dunger thelr investments In the Reading Compantes, For instance, they nre porfectly wilting to give the stockholders a chance to formascheme to organize the rond, and, I¢ itis a proposition whieh they enn necept, they will do so without hesitation. But, If no movenient to this ond Ig made within a reasonable time, It Is undoubtedly. the In tention of the general mortenge bondholders to insist on all their equitable and even legal rights. Mr, Powell has airenly had inter views with Messrs. Cadwell and Lewls, two of the Reading Recelvers, and finds them fayorable to the plan of the Immediate ap polntinent of an Amerienan committee, with aview of arranging a basis upon which the road can be reorganized, MEXICAN CONCESSION, Denver, Culo,, Oct. 15.—An ollicial copy of the rallway concession recently granted by the Mexiean Government, authorized to be formed by Palmer and Sulllvan, has been recelyed, and the Mexican National Con- struction Company organized under the Jaws of Colurado to work the coriecssion, ‘The contract fs for the construction in eight years of 1,300 miles of narrow gauge raflroad with telegraph from the City of Mexico to tho frontier of tha United States and to the Pacific Ocean in constderation of a money subsidy averaging $10,000 per mile, The total sitbstdy, payable in rallroad construe: tion certificates issued on the completion of the first ninety-two mites, and thereafter ag each twelve miles are built, amounts to up- wards of fourteen millions of absoulute bonus.
