qucstcd Mr. ". B. Strong, the General Manager
Of tho road, to resign, belug no Longer satisfied
with Ills management Of tile property. TuH
TRIBUNE has taken pains heretofore to de-
nounco these rumors as absurd, because tlscro
could bo no cat,so for dissatisfaction OIL tho part
Of tho Directors, for Mr.. Strong by lila iudomIt-
nblo energy anl great ability has succeeded in
makin: the e road QUO q Ct the best n tho country,
fngs havo more tlsan doubled. It ts hardly
orohably that tile Directors Of tho road
could ind another lnau In the. coun-
try who could run the. road as successfully as
the rumors would not down, and continually
gamo up agatn, and one Nebraska paper even
wcut 90 far ns to state TINT Mr.. g. Il. Hudson.
Superintendent OF the Baltimore T. Ohio, would
now in a condition to state officially that thero
waa ncycr tho least foundation for such rllore,
md that none Of tho Directors Or stockholders
hive ever thouaht for moment Of roplae!Hg 90
The rumors were inspired BY nal!cc BY former
en,p!oye Ut the Atch!aou, Topeka. & Santa Fe
simply because Mr.. Strong refused to graut him
privileges In regard to coal matters which hu
could not consistently and honestly grant. This

Mr. Strong to aid him In his sohomes; but Mr..
Strong refused to bo bulldozed, mud henca tlcso

It has been rumored In railroad circles lately
that tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy had late

inquiries lately as to tho correctness Of theso
rutnors, and, while he finds that the Burlington
has not ret secured control OF tho property, tho
probabilities arc that there will be- closer al1-
nnce between the two lines t,lan llaa existed
heretofore. The Chicago, Burlington d Quincy
Railroad Company flaa secured mona Of tile stock
Of tho Missouri, kansas 81 'fexae, but several Ut
the Directors md stockholders Of TINT roa have

will, OF course, usc It to bcncht the Chicago,
