Vanderbilt is detern.iued to be the Ling of ruilwaysin this country, and ‘be has sume powerful aesistants this time in bis gigunticuttempt.

AMES Wy isthe moving spirit in this iast stage of the e, und of James McHenry | desire to write ‘Tant gentleman was bord in Philadelphia, but bas livedin Londoa for many years. He ne~ gotiated $9,000 for the building of the Erie Boad, was oae of its largest stockholders, wus the mun who bounced Fisk and Gould, when they were wrecking the road. Ife wits the man who got both Watson and Jewett ciected to the Presidency of the road, and the man on whom both Warson and Jewett went: back as svon as they were fairly seated in power. Mr. Me- Rearv ulso négotiated most of the fund. witb whieh the Atlantic & Great Western Rallroad was built, and was as unfortunate In xetting his wishes carried out here as he had been in the Erie. He devised a scheme by whicn the Atlantic & Great Western shontd be reorganized, and then was unfortunate enough to have tho trustees of bis own creation, who were sent over here ty reorganize, go back onhim. Originally, of course, Mellenry was an enemy of Vande: bit and b:tterly fought him: today it ap that he and Vanderbilt are working together. ‘ VANDERBILT'S PLAN istogobble the Frie and its Western connee- tion, the New York, Pennsylvania & Obio Kail- road, end with tbe Lake Skore and its connec- ons be would then ayo the direct competing Unes for the West. He also desired to get the entire control of the Cleveland. Columbus, Cin- einnati & Indianapolis and the Cincinnatt, Ham- * iten & Duytoa, und form them into the Ohio Railroad Company. Tho time was fixed for this eonsoyastion just before the mecting of the stockholders of the New York, Pennsylvania & Obio Raitrond to elect Directors, and if it haa been quietly accomplished it was. expected 10 pounce upon the stocknolJers here and prevent an election except in the interest of Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt himself bas been picking up stock of sthe road where he could get it, and by prevent- ing Mr. J. Lockinzton Bates, the representative ef the Eughsh bondholders of tne road, from casting the votes which he is here to cast, and joining his resources with those of Melienry, he hoped to carry the election in bis own favor. However it may come out temporarily, it is to ‘be expected that the firbt will only terminate in the Supreme Court, us both sides are thorouzdly aroused. The agitation that is likely to follow will not, in all propability, resuit in any legis! tion that Is healthy for either side. 1t is to be hoped that a law will be passed before long that shall prevent. the consolid=tion of competing dines, and it may go so far as to prevent the con- folidation of lines that connect. No serious harm could result to the people if such: tines were permitted to connect properly, but could ot unite under a single management. All the railroud magnates who are en- waged in this fight are very likely to desire at one time and another to consolidate lines, and all would greztly rezret so serious an agitation of the Subject that State Legislatures and Congress itself should begin to. make laws on the subject of consuliaation. THE VANDERRILTS are a coarse crowd. They nave all the imperi- ousness and haughtiness which boundiess wealth gives to such natures ns they possess. “Tonce beard,” said an attorney, “ the elder Vanderbiit—the old Commodure—discourse of life as follows. You -can draw your own con- ceptions of its elevation: ‘This is all of life. You see a fine horse. You want him. You know he is fast. You are determined to druw ‘the lines over his back. But you-buy him, and draw the lines once. You feel he is yours. You see that ne isas fast as you expected. and then you don’t care anything more for him. You got @ little pleasure out of” getting him, and that is ail You sce a pretty woman. You want her. Fou try to get ber: You succeed. You get her, and the next day you don’t care anything moreforher. You hive bud a little pleas- ure in getting her, and that fs all. That is all there is of life.” THE PRESENT VANDERBILT ig not by any means agenticman. The best iulustration Lever bad of that point was re centis in New York... A company of gentlemen, digh rujiroad officials, were at Vandervitr’s of- Hiceattending to some snxtters of busiuess in which alt were mutually interested. Finally funch time drew near. “Remain and tunch here,” said Vanderbilt, “and thus save time.” All consented to do so, Cotored servants spread aneleguntluneb. When it was announced tho host excused himself for a few muments, but urged that the meal go forward, 5: would be on hand before it progré ently he joined us and the colored servant ap- proached him to louk after his wants. Tbe mas- ter yrected him witha courte oath, and gave come peremptory order. That spoiled the lunch to every person there. There was not one who did not regret that he remained.* huve known many men who were very austere with their equals, and who were, - in fact, very unpleasant men in many ways, who were, nevertheless, exceedingix- con- siderate towards their desendants. The nearest approach to royal pewer,” the gentleman con- tinued, “to which any man can attain in this country, Isto possess greatrailrouds. His domin- fon is tifus as great a2 that of almost any king on the' globe... His subjects more docile. and fully as dependent. He is convered from one part of the country to another in rezal splendor and receives the reverence from his dependent subjects that no king in this. century ever re- ceives from a civilized people. It isto attain this kingdom in its largest seuse that Vander- Dilt Is now playing. MR. HUGIE J. JEWETT 18a pretty good match for Vanderbilt thus far in strategy and general: management. He is an Obio man, and bas been loudiy talked of many times bs the Democrats for candidate tor President. of the United States. A few yeurs ago there -was 2 scheme aul ready to be,consummated, with Jewett at its head, by which the Erie and New York,Pennsyl- yania & Quio Railroads should unite with the Ctevetana, Columbus, Ciacinnatl & Indianapolis Railroaa. This was to be done.by simply voting 2 mujority of the stock which: had come under Jewett's control. But meanwhile very suddenly the Vanderbilt interest, whic was at that ume. ‘opposed to the consolidation. got 2 law passed tothe effect that the majority of the stock- holders of a road couldn't. consolidate with enother road without the consent of the minorl- Ty, unless said consolidation promised to pay the Dlnority the same rate per cent on their stock THE CHICAGO.

Itis thus easily soon that tere is no high principle involved in. tho war. Itis stmpty the old case of a transfer of the ownorsnip of the ox that was yored froin one to the other. It is believed here that Garrett will be x sulticient match for Vanderbilt inthis fight.

Mr. C. B.

Jt will be compused of drawin: cars, and make few stops, and the fare will be §U25~—80.95 for the p: fo und $5 for the drawing-room and sleeping-car.

Railroad men thik the fest trains of both the Pennsylvania and Central will be patronized, The sale of tickets over all the roads for Chicago today was large, and ticket azents expressed surprise that travel contioued so heavy despite the advance. THERE IAS BREN SOME TALK of late of Mr. Vanderbilt constructing a road from. Nei York to Springticld, Mass., to be operated in opposition to the New York, New Haven & Hartford Company. in fact, sur- ¥ are now being pushed forward from Rrouxburg, just avbure Mount Vernon, to Springfield over the same route a3 the paraliel road, which follows those of the New York, New Maven & Hartford Road very closely. ‘This paraliel road is an .old scheme, started some fourteen or fifteen years sro, but nothing bas ever been accomplished owing to lack of funds. Kecently P, T.

They are not so. certain 28 to the failure of the. Vanderbilt project, however. In ISG a franchise was granted to the New York, New Haven & Hartford, giving it che rigut to enter the city over the tracks runing to what is now the Grana Central Depot, and exeluding all other roads pursuirig the same route. Ig Mr. Vanderbilt built uu ~ opposi-~ tion tine and attempted to run_ his trains into the Grand Central Depot, he will meet with obstinate resistance from. the New York, New Haven & Hartford. A new road could come into the city on the Metropolitan Elevated tracks, which cross the Harlem: River. Itis said by some that Mr. Vanderbilt, docs not intend to build a road, but fs making tho surveys to warn the New York, New Haven & Hartford that it must nov. take tha. business. of the Pennsylvania and other roads to the detri- mentof his interests. MANY ITEMS. To the Western Associated Press. New York, Oct. 29.—1t is understood the New York Central will put on a fast train to Chicago. ‘Well-informed people think tnat Russell Sage kaseccured nearly, if not quite, a controlling interest in the Micbigan Central Railroad, und the fact hus only Just become apparent to Van- derbilt. People who entertain this opinion sar Vanderbilt will be “obliged to buy back a con- trolling interest, and predict a rise in the price. Itis reported on birh authority that Vander- Uilt is discouraged on account of the poor suc- ‘cess he bad in endeavormg to abolish altferen- tal ratesyand that while he will not openly abandon bis. position be will gradually modify it until the issue fadez out of sight. Itis believed in railroad circies that another advance In freight rutes will be made next week.

An olicer of the Central Pacitic Company said yesterday that the Union and Central 2 cite would be operated henceforth in harmony, and that tne Central Pacifie would abandon its project of vuilding to the Missuuri liver. The adjustment gives rise to rumors of the consoli~ dation of the Duion and Central Pacitic, appar- ently without much foundation. The Present Status of the Eastern Frelzht War. During the past week quite a change in the enst-bound freight war bas taken place. All the roads were at the end of the previous week tak- ing grain to New York at 12% cents and provis- ions at 15 cents, and nothing then indicated thut achange in rates would soon take place. Last Tuesaus, however, the Vanderbilt roads sur- prised everybody by the announeement of an advatice in grain-rates to New York to 15 cents ‘on grain and 20 cents on provisions. The Penn- sylyania and Baltimore & Ohio at once came to the front also, and advanced the rates on grain, flour, and provisions, Chicazo to New York, to 0 cents. The following day the Vanderbilt yuads decided upon’ another advance. and mude the rates on grain Ji#g cents, Chicago to New York, and 2213 cents on Bae On Be Trunk advan ts rates samme day te Canand 20 Gets om provisions Chiexzo to New York and 2 cents on grain from non-competing pointsto New York. “The Van- derbilt rouds—Sichigan Central and Lake Shore & Michigan Soutbern—give further notice that on and sfter Nov. 1 they will charge the follow- ing rates from Chicas Baltimore....- Philudelpbia.. New Yort 4 3 Boston... + 4 wigan also anagunees that on and fterNovel it will muke a further advance In fates as follows: Chicago to New York, grat. 20 to Hoston, 25 cents; provisions, to New York, 25 cents; Boston, W "cents. From non- competing points it will charge 30 cents to New York on grain and 35 cents to Baston. s ‘This will make the rate uniform on the basis of 0 cents on grain, Chicago to New York, by allthe lines after Noy. 1, except the Pennsrl- | vanin, which, if it does not decide upon a fur- ther advance, will bave a decided advantage over the Vanderbilt lines. The Vanderbilt roads make the rate on grain and provisions tre same to Paitadeiphia and Baltimore as to New York, while the Pennsylvenia charge two cents less to Philadelphia and three cents to Baltimore than to New York. Thus, while tho rate on grain by the Pennsylvania is 20 cents to New York, the same as charged by the Vanderbilt roads, ts ‘site 0 Philadelphia ts only 18 cents and to Baltl- more 17 cents. weainst 20 cents by the Vander- bilt lines. On provisions the Pennaylvanin ghurees but 20 cents to New York. 18 cents to Philudeipbin, and 17 cents to Baltimore, while the Vanderbilt lines charge 25 cents to all three points. It is probable, however, that the Penn- svivania, when it learns of the further advance that will'be made by the Vanderbilt roads N 1, will usu ndvance Its rates to those figure: cept that it will continue to make the two and turee cents difference to Philadelphia and Balti- qnore. The sudden advance in rates was not tho re- sult of compromise between the various Eusterv: roads, nor huve the troubles between (hem come any neurer to asettiement. As will be seen, euch road made tho advance without consulting the otber, exeept that the Pennsyivania aud fhalti- more & Ohio acted tu harmony. ‘The reason given by tha raflrouds for mutiur'the advance is that the rush of business during the past Lew Months was so yreat that ther roads huve pe- come blockaded. and that tiey unable to luke any new busfuess at present. By making tho advance they stop the clamor for curs shippers for the time bemg. ‘he de:nand for cars bas been so great lutely that they think they cun get the new rates even after the Ulockades ¢ been raised. und at the same tine continue to do as lurge a business as at present. While it istrue that tha ronds are considerably. block- aded, aud are sudering from the want of curs, yet it is not true thut these blockades were caused by a great-rush of business.

Tho principal cause of the blockade ani ears is ‘the Increased demand for rollin for’ tho trunsportntion of Jucel bi whieh the rates had nut been material and on whieh the protits were much greater Unnn on the through business.

In this. instance, however, but ttle injury bas been dono: ship- pers by the sudden advanee.

It is even doubtful whether rebates will noz ve given to favored shippers by som@of the lines at the Mreent ‘Tate. AS lung. as the various roads act independently of each ther, und re- fuse to enter into an agreement for the muinte- nance of uniform. rates, it will be a bard job to keep up rates and prevent them from dropping down again to former figures. The total shipments of grain, flour, and pro- visions from this city b six Eastern lines for the week ending Oet. 23 amounted 046,04 tons—about the same 2s for. each of tho three weeks previous.

The Vanderbilt Kioads Not Lik Meet the Time of the Pennsyrvania Lightning ‘frains. Although the Vanderbilt roads were well aware of the intention of the Pennsylvania people to put on a lightning litnited expresss train between Chicago and New York, Boston, Philadelpuia, and Baltimore to make such ex- traordinary fast time as to prevent the Vuander- bilt roads frow doing likewise, except at great expense and trouble, yet up to the timo that the oficial announcement was made they were in hopes that tho Pennsylvania people would tinal ly abandon the sebeme. Consequently, when the announcement was made they. were some- Whut Sarprised, and were not prepared to take immediate steps to meet the aedonouf the Pean- sylvania people. Up to last evening tne Van- derbilt Nines had not decided whut steps to ke in the mutter, It does not look at present as if they meant to put on similar ligating trains, at least not until the success of the Pennsy! nia scheme bas been fully demonstrate The Pennsylvanin bas decidedly the best or Vainder- Dilt as far as the running Of tast trains is con- corned, 5 it bus the shortest line by about sixty iniles, Uut the Vanderbile peuple think tho best en rates, being abie'to carry, people chezper. The Luke Shore could prob- ably, by extra exertions, meet tho time of the Penusylvanta timited express, but the Michigan Central could not very well do it, owing to the delay in ferrying the trains across Detroit River to its connections. If the Lake Shore put on a fast express and the Michizan Central not it would hurt the interests of ‘the fatter, which is hurdly the desire of Vanderoilt. It’ is, the tore, most probable that the Vanderbilt" roni will continue to rin their trains on the present schedule, but at lower rates than uré charged by the Pennsylvania, so as to take away. the bullc Of the business.
