WHAT CHIEF CLERK YOUMANS MAY DO TO IMPROVE IT. Chief Clerk Youmans 1s trying to devise some Plan by which the sanitary condition of the Treas- ury building can be rendered tolerable by the ex- penditure of the money he now hasonhand. A year ago $20,000 was appropriated to start the work, which the report of the supervising archi- tect and of the inspector of plumbing recom- mended. ‘The fallure of Congress this year to ap- Topriate the additional $50,000 necessary fenders it entirely impracticable to undertake the work at this time on the plan pro ‘Mr. Youmans now has on hand $18,000, which is entirely insuml- cient for the work. ‘There are two propositions Defore hum, One is not to undertake them improvement to the drainage, but to “batton down” the sub-basement, as it’ were, by keeping the doors tightly closed and to construct fans at each end of the lower corridors to pump in fresh. air. This may not be practicable, as the sub- Dasements must be used, and it would be hardly proper to shut the employes in down, there to Ww air from the pumps or smother. ‘The other Proposition is to expend the money on hand in im- proving the drainage of the old bullding according to the proposed plan for the whole. If the money. on hand 1 enough to do this, {t will be the plan followed. Mr. Youmans will probably advertise for bids, 80 as to determine the cost. Navy Department Clerks.

A Denial that Mr. Garrett has Trans ferred Hix Stock. MANY RUMORS, BUT LITTLE AUTHENTIC NEWS MADE PUBLIC—A B. ANDO. MAN SAYS AN ARRANGEMENT HAS BEEN MADE OF MUTUAL ADVANTAGE TO ALL COWCERNED—THE PENNSYLVANIA SAID NOT TO BE IN ‘THE “DEAL.” Financial and railroad circles continue agitated over the alleged sale of a controlling interest of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. A Baltimore gentleman said to be near to Mr. Garrett is quoted as stating last night that no agreement or con- tract exists for such a transfer. He at the same time stated that a syndicate will probably be formed, of which Mr. Garrett will be a mem- der, for the working of such a raflroad system as 4s spoken of. It was sald that an offer of $8,300,- 000 had been made for the Baltimore and Ohio's telegraph system, and $2,000,000 for the express business, both of which had been declined. The determined refusal of Mr. Garrett to confirm or deny any of the statements causes considerable ‘speculation and anxiety. ‘A BALTIMORE AND OBIO STATEMENT. ‘The Baltimore Sun of to-day publishes the fol- lowing as a statement froma gentleman prominent in Balttmore and Ohio circ “The Baltimore and Onto tion has money and credit and youth and energy in its responedbie direction, and Whether wise or otherwise, looking to immediate results when 1t_ started tor Phila- deiphta, Iemeant to. go to New York, and going there, tostay. When the new line was complet to Philadelphia it found itself shut out or New York except as @ dependent of rival lines. It of course, build an, Independent, line “into New York as st"had into Philadelphia, but this would have been expensive. The attempt of Mr. Garrett to enter New York was watched by Mr. Gould with keen interest, and when the presi- dent of, the pew line reached Philadelphia e unexpectedly saw: ‘the first time the difficulty “he would have to reach his terminus. Mr. Gould took —_advan- tage of Mr. Garrett's dimeulttes by attempting to strengthen his telegraph monoply. Mr. Gould, to Tid himself of his strongest. telegraphic compett- tor, endeavored to place himself in a_position in Which he could dictate terms to Mr. Garrett: where he could say to htm, in substance: “If you will transfer the B. and 0. ‘telegraph system to the Western Union I will agree that the B. and 0, ralt- Toad secures an entrance Into New York over the tracks of the Jersey Central.’ Mr. Gould and_his representatives endeavored to create the impres- sion that negotiations were actually in progressto. this end, notwithstanding the repeated denials made at the time by Mr. Garrett. In the mean- time Mr. Gould and his friends secured such a hold on Jersey Central that they could force such an issue on Mr. Garrett. It will be remembered that when the B. and O. first made its proposition for a trafic arrangement with the Reading and Jersey Central, the inatter was referred to a special com- inittee of the Jersey Central directors. At that Une this committee was in favor of the proposi- on, and Mr. Samuel Sloan, one of the principals in the present syndicate, said that the reference Was only for the purpos¢ of arranging details. The matter, however, has never reached a vote, and remain’ unsettled to this day, so far as that com- mittee is concerned. ‘In the meantime the B, and O. went on with its plans by purchasing the Staten Island termt- hus and completing {ts road to Philadelphia, “The important developments of the past few weeks have changed the entire aspect of the railroad situation, and it may be sald, Without the fear of successful contradiction, that the B. and 0. has secured the right of way into New York upon very Javorable terms and over the Heading and Jersey Central tracks from Philadeiphia, and it will soon take its place as the greatest trunk line in America, with over 16,000 miles of track. By gaining ‘an entrance into New York over the Tracks of the Jersey Central, the Baltimore and Ohio secures over its tracks, from Washington to Philadelphia, the business not only of the Jersey Central out’ of New York going south, but prob- ably of the most extensive rullway system of the world, It includes the Philadelphia and Read system, the Richmond Terminal and Richmond an Danville properties the East, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia lines, the Central railroad of Georgia, with all their southern extensions and connections, reaching from Washington to Richmond, Charles: ton, Savannaii and the Florida towns,’ AUanta, Chattanooga, Mobile, Jackson, Montgomery, New Orleans, and the rallroads in ‘Texas, including the Southern Pacific to San Francisco.’ AS “{reijht 1s the mother ot Yall these connecting links Will become @ feeder to the B. and O. between Washington and Philadelphia, and the prosperity ofthe company fs that of the city of Baltimore. ‘The true interests of the city of Baltimore and of the Baltimore and Ohioraiiroad are so indissolubly the one absolutely Sepdadeat upon ald cokscideat ‘the one absolutely t upon and. it iphaear te Banca esas the managers .

This is about all there is in the sittiation 90 far. It might also be said that a large advance over the current rates las been offered to Mr. Garrett for a controlling interest of the stock of the company, but thus far no trans fer has been made. ‘The stdck of the company has never been speculative- never been forced up or down to enable one-man to use the company for his own selfish ends. It is belleved, however, that Mr, Garrett can, if he sees iit, deliver a controll. ing Interest in the stock of the company to any ‘one he pleases. ‘The provision in the late John W. Garrett's will prohibiting his trustees from selling his holding for twenty years would not, in the opinion of eminent lawyers, prevents ttssale. It 4s _belleved also that a majority of the stock 1s owned by the Garrett trustees and Robert Garrett, Wm. F. Burns and John A. and Andrew Gregg, ‘The stock hag never been watered to the extent of dollar, and for years 5,000,000 of its capl- tal stock has. a dividend of ten and eight per cent, In $225 per share was offe the Garrett holdings, and only recently Mr. Jay Gould. offered $250 per share forthe Garrett interest.” PENNSYLVANIA NOT IN THE “DEAL.” ‘The Philadelphia Ledger to-day declares that the Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley roads have no connection with the “deal;” that the controlling powers of Heading have had nothing to do with it, and that their road cannot be used in any such connection, ‘WHAT IB SAID IN NEW YORE.
