NO AMALGAMATIoN OF KANSAS
CITY SOUTHERN WITH C. & a.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-E. II. Hartman,
chairman of the board of directors Of
the Chicago & Alton. was in this city
yesterday attending a conference of di-
rectOrs and officials of roads in which
he is interested, and has returned east
Before leaving he would neither deny
nor affirm the report telegraphed from
New York that the control of the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship company had been
secured by a syndicate headed by HIM
self and w X Vanderbilt. He stated
emphatically, however that he would
not be president nor hold any other Of
fetal position with the Pacific Mail
Steamship company.
Mr. Hartman also took occasion to
deny the report that the Kansas City
Southern Gormerly Kansas City &
Gulf road would be anai gamated with
the Chicago & Alton.
1t is said that Mr.. Hartman came
here to consult with John w. Gates re-
garding the transfer of the stock held
by Mr.. Gates in the Kansas City South
ern to the Hartman syndicate.
The report that the road would be
amalgamated with the Alton is not
generally believed. Mr.. Hartmann it is
said, has decided that the Independent
organizations of the Alton and Kansas
City Southern must be maintained for
an indefinite period, but that the two
roads be more closely allied by having
the Alton assume the fixed charges of
the Kansas City Southern road.
The Union Pacific and Missouri, Kan

Of the Harriman-Alton syndicate, are
said to have objected to the cOnSOlida-
