CONTROL OF ST. PAUL.
REPORT THAT THE HILL-MORGAN-
ROCKEFELLER INTERESTS WILL
SOON SECURE IT-STOCK
AGAIN ADVANCES

ST. Paul, JAM Awhile confirmation could
be obtained here from an authoritative source
of the reported combination of the Northern
Pacific. Great Northern and Chicago. Milwau-
kee and ST. Paul, it is the general belief in we'll
informed railroad circles that the deal, if not
already an accomplished fact is In process Of
consummation.
About three weeks ago, so the story goes,
James j. Hill. president of the Great Northern
Railway Company, obtained loan from Cana
dian capitalists of $2S.O0O.OOO, and. it is added
much of this money went for the purchase of
Northern Pacific and st. Paul shares In the
vaults of the Great Northern treasurer's Office
IT is stated, to-day repose the deposit slips show
Ing that this immense sum was placed to the
credit of President Hill in the Chemical National
Bank, of New-York City. The depositors were,
it is asserted. Sir William c. Van Horne. of the
Canadian Pacific; r. B. Angus, director of the
Bank Of Montreal, and Lord Mount Stephen, of
Montreal.
President Hill was naturally disnclined to
talk upon the subject for publication, but in the
course of an interview he had this to say:
have made no loan in Montreal Does it
not stand to reason that if I needed money
could get it without going to Canada? No deal
by which get control of any Western line
has yet been consummated. 1 will say, how
ever. that some of the big lines hope, by getting
together, to reduce working expenses. Any
movement on foot by the railroads is
simply for the purpose of economiZing.
1t will be noticed that Mr. Hill does not state
that there is deal under way by which a
Western line (Which is taken to mean the Chi
cago Milwaukee and ST. PauD is TO be brought
under the control of the two Northern trans
continental lines
President Hill will go TO New-York next week.
and ii is stated that the sole object of his visit
is to put the finishing touches upon the most
gigantic railroad deal in recent years.
The announcement was made semi-officially
to-day and the information did not come from
a New-York source, that the big deal by which
the HILL Morgan Rockefeller interests were TO
secure control of the Northern Pacific and st.
Paul roads is practically consummated, and
that inside of month the systems will be in
effect one.
