XO DOUBT, HOWEVER, THAT THE RECENT REPORTS WERE SUBTANTIALLY CORRECT—ASSURANCES THAT BALTIMORE INTERESTS WILL BE GUARDED—THAT CITY TO BE THE HEADQUARTERS IP THE CONSOL- DATION 18 EFFECTED. ‘Yesterday's developments somewhat cleared up ‘the mystery surrounding the great railroad “deal” 4m progress between Mr. Robert Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio raliroad, and the New York syndicate headed by Alfred Sully. While ‘Mr. Garret continues silent, all doubt 1s removed a8 to his being engaged in the negotiations, of ‘Which the newspapershave been full of rumors for several days. According to the Baltimore Su» of tasayane of Mr. Garrett's oMcialssaid yesterday: “The Baltimore and Ohio will not be driven or cajoled into a premature exposure of it8_ plans, ‘There are rival Interests in all such matters, and this company will not give away its purposes to be used by hostile elements which would try to de- feat them. It is not thought that Mr. Garrett is in need of money, nor that he is avaricious, and it High Probable ttiat Ihe would enter Into a project Which contemplates a sale of the controling in- terest in the rallroad, When the plans that are in contemplation are in shape to be made public it Will be Seen that the interests of this city are not neglected.” SULLY'S ANNOUNCEMENT PREMATURE. ‘The expressions of a Baltimore banker will serve 8 an example of the opinion of those who are en- gaged in handling railroad and other securities, He sald: “I understand that the syndicate is muade up, and that Mr. Sully told nearly the whole ‘truth when he authorized the announcement in the New York Times. He was, perhaps, a ttle premature, and let the thing out to serve some other purpose that he hud in view. ‘There is little doubt that an advance payment of $1,000,000 has been made, and reports from New York of a hitch in the negotiations were started to head off the effects of Sully’ previousness. The peculiar feature of this whole transaction is that the West Point Terminal company, that, concern on paper of which much has been‘heard lately in connec- tion with Mr. Sully, 1s at the front as the pur- chaser and future owner of the great Baltimore and Ohio. The Baltimore and Onlo is the only solvent corporation that will be merged in the huge concern from New York to the far south. Noone will say that the West Point Terminal, Richmond and Danville, or East ‘Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia have a record as solvent ‘con- cerns, The Baltimore and Ohio may, however, serve to leaven the whole, The next move will probably be for an issue of stock of the new con- cern to cover the amount of money represented In the combination. “It will be a very interesting study to watch the unfolding of the scheme. ‘Tile much-referred- to surplus Of $48,000,000 Invested in properties of the company, and not represented by stock or bonds, 1s an smount double the valve oi the whole capital stock at $200 share, Which are the figures at which the stock is sald tg be voted in the syndi- cate, Then there Is the telegraph company and the express company and otlier properties owned Dy the Baltimore and Ohio, No wonder that Mr, Sully should Say that ue has secured a control of the Baltimore and Ohio at a price that is ‘wonder- fully cheap.’ There 1s sald to be a good deal of talk that large holders of bonds that, were doated dn big blocks in New York, Philadelphia and Bal- Umore are sending up objections. Of the new $2,500,000 car-trust loan ubout $2,000,000 have been taken in this city by instutitions and trusts, ‘The premature exposure of the plans by Mr. Sully has given a little opportunity for the discussion of the situation.” “TNE KERNELS OF FACT.” ‘The Sun also gives what 1s claimed to be the Kernels of fact sifted from the chaff which has Deen afloat the past few days, as follows: “Ar- rangements have been made by the Baltimore and ‘Ohio president with men in the east who control other rallroad properties for the consolidation of the several roads into one system, which is to commence at New York and extend by way of the Baltimore and Ohio to the Gul of Mexico in the South. Mr. Garrett is to put into this syndicate & majority of the $15,000,000 of the stock of the Baltimore and Ohio at an agreed price. ‘To secure 40,000 shares, and has ‘obtained "the oho et and has ol the option o1 one-balf of 15,000 shares of the stock held by the “Hopkins university, all of the holding of the Messrs. Gregg, some 6,000 or 7,000 shares, and that of the Burnses, 4,000 shares, This, with other stock that he bas in sight, will make up the required controling amount. {if Mr. Garrett is taking up options on all the stock that 1s offered, he has not yet made overtures for the 32,600 shares held by the city of Baltimore. This interest. of the city is one of the serious questions before the people. * * * ‘The causes that lave led the Bal- Umore and Ohio to take this step were practically admitted in the statement published in the Sun of yesterday from an oficial of that company, It ‘has built its line to Philadelphia at large cost, and 43 checkmated there, and cannot get. to-New York, The Philadelphia extension and the construction inside of Philadelphia are reported to have cost $20,000,000. ‘This has been and 1s 1n effect unpro- ductive, ‘The money to bulld this road. was bore rowed before its construction was commenced, ‘The new rallroad combination will make this §20,- 000,000 productive, and the transfer of the control Ung stock to a syndicate will secure the funds to pay off a floating debt. that 1s alleged to be ot some proportions. The Baltimore aud Ohio will Jose its identity as such, and will become an inte gral part of a great concern that 1s not yet named. Air. Garrett's part in the ‘deal’ 13 ready to be played, and when the parties of the other part comply with the terms the agreement will go into effect. It is apparrent that the Pen.asyivania rall- Toad people do not like the new order of things.” ‘A DEFENSE OF ME. GARRETT. A friend of Mr. Garrett 1s quoted as saying, re- garding the adverse comment in Baltimore on ‘the “deal:” “It has been iterated and reiterated hat if the road passed under the contrel of Mr. Sully and his associates, Baltimore would be eventually but a Way-statfon between the west- ern and southern cities and Unose north of us; that traffic would be diverted, and thereby our mercantile interests would suifer greatly. — TAS apprehension should be very readily quieted. If the new deai ts consummated Baltimore will be placed in trafic communication with all the great, cities of the West, southwest and the south with Which {t never hid direct rail communication be- fore. The new syndicate controls @ system of rafiroads from St. Paul, Minn., to Columbus, Olilo, and from St. Louis to the samé point, in addition tothe 6,700 miles of track in the south. From all these sections a new trade will be brought to Baltimore that never would have reached’ here under the old management. Whatever the B. and O., with the ald of its new connections, can bring to the city of Baltimore, 1t will bring ‘that trafic at a lower rate than the same Kind of traf. Hc 1s transported to New York. BALTIMORE TO BE HEADQUARTERS OF THE CONSOLI- DATION. ‘This city will be the center and headquarters of this great combination, and 1t may be stated that Mr. Robert Garrett, who has shown himself able not only to achieve the elder Garrett's ur poses, Dut also to extend and supplement them isely according to the exigencies of changing ci. cumstances, will be made the chief executive head if hewill accept the position. “There 1s no doubt about the plans foreshadowed above being carried out as soon us Mr. Sully and ‘his friends can raise the sum agreed upon to pay Mr. Garrett for a controlling interest in the stock of his company. Already Mr. Garrett's friends are securing proxies for him, and by the time the New York parties are ready with their cash Mr. Garrett will have in wand, if he hus not already, 9 suficient amount of stock to pe the new managers control of the B. and 0.

A. GREAT VARIETY OF RUMORS. From all this tt would appear as it Mr, Brice 1s not particularly pleased with Mr. Sully. Appar- ently there is some hitch in the negotiations. Mr. Sully would not talk to any purpose, but int- mated that thedeal was “off” foratew days, what ever that May mean. It is thought that the Term- inal people Want better terms. In view of the fact that the purchase was not consummated to-day, the important question arose: For how long & riod Mr. Suily’s Fogo extend? In regard this there was a wide range of rumors. One statement says that the option extends for several Weeks, another fixes the time at ten days, while another, and the most interesting of all, is to the effect that the option expired and coupled with this is a rumor that Baltimore bonkers, “ansious” to ‘keep “te control ta Baltimore, had offered Mr. Garrett better terms. The Baltimore Sun's NewYork special continues: Gen. Thomas said to-day that the deal will be con- summated. President Dinsmore, of the Adams Express company, says that the Adams Express colmpany fs not a party to the deal. He says he believes the deal is going through all right. There ‘has, however, been some change in the situation. Among other explanations made is the following? When the negotiations were first entered into they were solely for the account of the Richmond & West Point terminal, it having been the intention to issue terminal stock to raise the Tunds neces- ‘sary to buy the control of the Baltimore & Ohio. At least this seems to have been Mr. Sully’s idea, but it was all knocked in the head “today when the terminal people, at a meeting, practically de- cided to do notiing’in the premises as a corpora- Uon, but to leave it to a syndicate headed by ‘Sully, Scott and other prominent Richmond ter- SE BEC Ck rene ty ae neg lew York Tribune t LY SYS the né Uons have fallen through, and continues: “It 13 reported that the option obtained from President Garrett by Alfred Sully expired yesterday, and Mr. Sully was unable to raise the money to meet ‘the first payment. While the exact terms of the contract are not known, it has been established. ‘Unat $6,000,000 of the $16,000,000 required for the urchase of 80,000 shares at $200 Was to be paid mcash. The stock, however, was to be placed in trust until the payment of the remaining $10,000,000, on which a year’s Lime was given, hat been completed. TO FREEZE ‘The Scheme for the Reapportionment of Philadelphia. A Harrisburg dispatch to the New York Times, March 9, says: The sub-committee on congressional apportionment, appointed last evening by a caucus of the republican members of the house from Phila~ delphia, met this afternoon and agreed upon a basis of apportionment of that city into congres- sional districts, This evening the sub-committee Teported to the caucus of the Philadelphia repub- Ucan members, and this body in turn ordered that the scheme agreed upon be presented to the house committee on congressional apportionment, which Was done to-night. This committee, having some time or promised the er poe republicans that that city should have a solid republican dele- gation in Congress, the scheme presented this evening Was prepared to enable the committee to keep this promise. The scheme divides the city into six symmetrical districts as follows—the re- publican majoritiés, according to the vote cast at the last general election, being: istrict—1st, 2d, 7th, 26th and 30th wards, Second aisteiot—3a, 4th ith, Gtk, Sth, Bch, 10th, Secon ict—3 1, ot ‘Sth, 9tt and 13th wards, 2,030 majority. = ‘Third district—i1th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th and Poth wards 2.054 majority Fourth district—17th, 18th, 19th and 31st wards, 2,463 majority. ‘Fifth district—2ist, 22d, 234 and 25th wards sSieth district 24th, 27th, 26th and ards, cts 7 29th wi 6,954 majority. ‘The fate of this scheme in the ture is. problematical. Ina conversation on the subject to-night a leading ublican member of the house gaid he expected that the differences be- tween the two houses on all the apportionment bills would y be tved to cammittees of conference, and ft may become necessary to accept such bills as can pass both houses. Leading re- publicans divide on the question of giving Randall a district.” Some hola that he can, by dividing the democracy, do the industries of the country more good in Congress than a republican from that dis- trict could secomplish. Others say It 1s useless 10 try to keep him out in this way, as, however the city may be divided, he can be elected at any rate. Others hold that he deserves. from the re- publican party, and that the delegation should be solidly republican. In view of these widely diver- gent views and the dificulty of reconciling con licting interests it is im ible to forecast the fate of this scheme against Mr. Randall ‘A dispatch from Philadelphia says: William M. Singerly, the proprietor of the Record, a demo- cratic Rewspaper, which is bitterly hosille to Con- gressman Randall, is understood wo be at the bot- Uom of the scheme to freeze him out, and James: ‘McManes, the most powerful of the local ring of republican bosses, has said publicly within a. few days that he favored redistricting the city, so as wo make all of the districts republican, It is dowbt- ful whether the scheme will succeed, because It 1s apt to raise as much opposition from republicans as from democrats. e chief ariicle of faith of Pennsylvania republicans 1s protection, and the protectionist erally believes that Mr. Randall serves them r than any republican could, see- OUT RANDALL, ‘Nine-tenths of the manufacturers of Philadelphia | Would put up money to elect Randall against any new republican if Handall’s election was In dan- Fer, bead pollticlans say that at a consultation tween.

MR. RANDALL WILL RUN ANYHOW. A Philadelphia special to the New York Tritune says: Mr. Randall registered at the American hotel to-day, and in answer to questions as to the proposed change in the districts sald: “I have not given the matter any consideration. I shall, however, run in any district the legislature might make, and If the peopie do not desire me to repre- ‘sept them any longer they could easily vote for a change.” ————_+e+-_______ A Train Wrecked and Fired.
