CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The Tribune tomor-
row will say; 1t is learned from reliable
authority that arrangements have been
partially completed that will give the ME
nois Central the control OF the Minneapolis
& ST. Louis railroad. The new acquisition
will give the Illinois Central an Independent
line to st. Louis and Minneapolis after
building a connecting link from Lyle to Al
bert Lea, Mimi, about fifty miles. 1t also
will furnish the Illinois Central an excellent
line between ST. Paul and Omaha using the
Minneapolis & st. Louis to Fort Dodge, Ia
and the new Omaha extension of the Illinois
Central thence to Omaha.
In consequence of the new deal the ROCK
Island will have to find new outlet to St.
Paul. A conference has been in progress be-
tween the Rock Island and Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern officials in this city, and
today 1t was stated that an agreement had
been reached by which the Burlington. Cedar

a new line seventy-two miles long from Al

the Rock Island with as good track to St.
Paul and Minneapolis as 1t has over the
Minneapolis & St. Louis.
