Railroad Rumors There is a railroad rumor that has not yet been published that may ac count for the recent strange unrest of Wall street, it is to the effect that the Great Northern will next month transfer the service of the Burling ton to its tracks from the Nor thern Pacific, and that the Northwest ern Line will take over the Northern Pacific and change its title to the Northwestern Pacific Line. This would place it under the control of the New York Central Lines, of which Harriman is said to have secured con trol from Gould. Whether the rumor be correct or not, there is certainly great unrest among the trans-continen tal lines, and a battle for control, in cluding the Pacific Coast situation, tin t is worthy of more careful study than seems to be given by Coast ship pers.
