The first Cabinet meeting of the new year was devoted to the discussion of minor subjects relative to the various departments among them the overcrowded condition .of some of the build-f-ack of space in the Navy and War Departments is especially evident and there was some discussion of the necessity for a new building. It was suggested that if the Department of Justice and State Department could be accommodated in a single building, thus leaving the present State, War and Navy Building for the use of the latter two departments, the situation would be greatly relieved. No conclusion, how-

ever, was reached.

Secretary Gage talked for some time about the hardships imposed upon foreigners deported under the immigration laws. He instanced the case of a wife and child now being held in New York because afflicted with a contagious disease of the eyes. They are Assyrians and the husband is now in this country. The case has excited sympathy in New York, but under the law the mother and child must be deported.

Parkersburg. W. Va. (Special.)—The West Virginia Cential and Pittsburg Railway has been sold to Pennsylvania Railroad interests for $17,000,000. It was to have been part of Wabash's through line to the seaboard. The Pennsylvania Railroad now has every road and every coal field in this

State.

Wheeling, W. Va.—The Goulds have lost their grip on their contemplated through route from the Pacific to the Atlantic by a blow administered by Sena to: Stephen D. Elkins and his father-in-law ex-Senatov Henry G. Davis. Monday all negotiations were clinched by the Pennsylvania system for the purchase of the West Virginia Central for $17,000,The Elkins-Davis combine seemed hand in glove with the Goulds, who belirired they had a first mortgage ° n th c sale of the road. It was /the Gould scheme to put a trunk line through West Virginia by way of the Little Kanawha route from tidewater to the Great Lakes, combining in Ohio with the Wabash system. The fact that the Elkins-Davi; combination bought 50.000 acres of Pittsburg coal land in the counties of the Little Kanawha Valley lent color to reports of its alliance with the Little Kanawha Company and the interests behind it in the background. It was generally understood that the Goulds relied upon Messrs. Elkin* and Davis for the con-

summation of their plans.

But the Pennsylvania, through President A. J. Cassatt, outwitted the New York magnates and offered for the West Virginia Central $7,000,000 more than the Goulds had arranged to pay. Mr. Elkins jumped at the opportunity. Thus the Pennsylvania has blocked the Goulds at a time when they most expected success in their outlet t^ the seaboard. The West Virginia Central is one of the greatest coal roads, considered from the tonnage point of view, in the country. Along its main line from Cumberland to Keyser. Elkins and its branches the Davis-Elkins combination owns and operates 15.000 acres of coal lands.
