The Wizard and Others Talk Quite Feeely on the Subject— Western Passenger Association Meets Today. New Youk, May 4.—Mr Jay Gould sat in his office in the Westorn Union building to- day and talked to a Sun reporter about some matters which are of great interest to the financial and radroad worlds, “I think," said Mr. Gould, “that the meeting of the Western Trafic association on Wednesday will be an entirely narmonious one. I hav heard of rilroads whose action is apt to be of a different charactor. 1 think that the uesociation will bo productive of great good “Do you not think,' ne was asked, *‘that before great results can come from the asso- ciation it will be necessary to start it on new linos—such, for instance, as the establish ment of joint for the haudliog of npetitive business ? 1o suid Mr. Gould, “to start the association wnew in order to complish this, In t 1t will not be nocessary,’ t (guardedly) 1 think it quite possiblo that the vory point of joint agencies will be very seriously considered at Weduesday's .

The head of © would apportion off tho business cquitably to the roads concerned, 1 don't sec how any trouble could arise through the payment of un commissions by ¢ tain railr In our Southwestern assoc tion we had no trouble of that kind. W eckly statements would be submitted by each of the agencies to the various roads, showing each onc's share of business. Thers would be no inducement to cut rates. I suppose that the present weakness in the stock market arises from the exports of gold, which have caused a tightness in the money market. My trip to the west made me feel very hopeful. I found the crops in fine condition and the people generally encouraged. 1 have not sold any stocks and all the sccurities I hold are inven. toried very much higner. [nstead of being seller I have been quite an_extensive buy and at no previous time in twelve months have 1 held so much stock as I now possess, I have added to my holdings, especially of Missouri Pacific, and have not soid anything. It is a long time to wait until December and it is impossible to say whether we shall have active money this year, but money will be comparatively easy until late in the fail, and even then wo may not experience tho slightest stringency, especially 1f Europo buys our breadstuffs, and there are more than reasonable prospects that it will. 1 feel couvinced that matters are on the mend and that the present is not simply & bull move- ment, but the year will be a bull one.” Prosident Marvin Hughitt of the Chicago & Northw king on the same sub. ject, safid: *“Theére will be no trouble in tho western i ho meeting ou Wedne: day will, be a serious disappoint- ment to all who harbored o belief that a chaotic condition of affairs would result from a conference. The railroad companies aro a nnit on the question of maintaining vates and doing business on a sound basis. Tho Mis- souri Pacific matter will not lead to disturb- ance. Evyerything will go peacefully.” Albert Keep chairman of the Chicago & Northwestorn, who will be at the meeting of the Western Traftic association, takes a most hopeful view of the existing condition. He sald: “Thero is no reason to expect any dis- turbance. There will be nothing but good fecling, I think.” President Siduey Dillon of the Union Pacific says that he looks for a most harmoni- ous meeting and thinks there will be a full attendauce. Mr. Coppell, chairman of the Denver & Rio Graude, 15 of the opion that the meeting of the advisory board of the Western Trafic association will be harmonious. The diffe ent companics seem satisfied, and it is evi- dent that the people of the country served by the roads are awake to the fact that it is o their interest primarily that the roads must live. The fate of all adverse threatened legislation is the best evidence that the peo- ple, shippers and receivers are in aceord with the railroads, and though thero is ability to do more business, yet there is 1o cutting of rates and consequently all customers are be- ing treated alike to their advantage. 1 think, Western Passenger Association, Cnicaco, May 4.—Much attention attaches to the May meeting of the Western ’assen- wer association, which begius tomorrow, for tho reason that everybody expects the Chi- cago & Alton to raise a great disturbance, Everyoody may be greatly fooled unless it veeomes necessary for the Alton to defend itself by measures to which it has not here- tofore resorted. Ofiicials of tho Alton say they will not disrupt the association unless forced to by other lines, Thus far the boycott of the eastern roads bas cost them no . business and no revenue and they have no reason to complain on that score. If the board of rul- ings is confident that the boycott will suc- ceed, the Alton corporation is just as confident it will not. A railroad man who sympathizes with the Alton said today that ho believed every line east and west would before next Saturday night withdraw Alton tickets and leave that road to shift for itself. But the Alton people are not disturbed. President Blackstone and General Manager Chappell voth say they will not sign the trunk line agreewent against paying commissions i their rond loses cvery dollar's worth of its through busini ‘They know that thewr local business is worth more than auy eastern road, indeed they hold the winning hand_even 'if through rates go to picces, 1t is also known that both of Gould's roads—the alissouri Pacific and tho Union Pacific—have said tiey would stand by the Alton and see it through. On the other haud it is said that the board of rulings is assuming a more aggressive attitude. Western liues that have undertaken to get the boycott treated as an association matter informed by this board of ralings that it recognizes no associations west of Chicago and that each live mustact for itself, If, therafore, the Denver & Rio Grande con: tinues to bose as General Passenger Agent Hopper intunated last week the boy- cott will be ordered against it aiso, 1t is understood that a stroug effort will be made at the meeting of the Westorn Passenger association tomorrow to prevout a discussion of the boycott. But a poiut bus been reached where it is believed that the association will place itself on record. It may take some kind of astand or go to picces, and if the enemics of the Alton carry their point it will go to pieces, AN EASTBOUND POOL. Some of the ofticials of the lines in the Cen- tral Traflic association who attended the con ference with the trunk line munagers last week have returned home. From them it is learned that the principal subject of discus- sion at the meeting was the question of forming a pool or au agreement for a division of the dressed beef, live stock 1nd provision trafic among the several competing lines between Chicago and the seaboard. The pur- poso is to fix by arbitration the proportion of this business that each road is entitled to and prevent the manipulation of roads by in- suring to each its due share. It was finally decided to establish a division of traffic and a comumittee of eighteen was appointed to con- fer with & committee of shippers at a meet ing to be called by Chairman Blunchard at an early date. The feeliug that prevails among railroad officials is that the moyemeut will not prove a success, although it is well known nm Chairman Hlun'lnr!' has for a If time _advocated division to manay 'I‘N s legal substitute nr o pooling of earnings.
