CHICAGO RECORD SAYS DEAL IS

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-The Record to-
morrow will say: Final negotiations for
complete absorption of the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha line by the
Chicago & Northwestern company, 1t is
reported, are being carried on in New
York, the home of the ruling powers be-
hind the Northwestern system. Since
1882 the North Western has controlled
the Omaha, which has trackage of
1857 miles.
1t Is said that for a long time the
th-Western has been working to Sc
cure full claim to the Omaha, but the
question of stock transfers has been a
stumbling block in the way of the desired
end. Now, lnasmuch as the common
stock of the two roads are drawing near
er each other in value, it is believed that
the necessary transfers can be made sat
tsfactorily. 1t is said that the North
Western holdings of stock are $500
shares of preferred and SO, 200 shares of
common. At current quotations the Ill.,
600 shares are valued at $21, $50, 600.

BUSY WEEK IN CONGRESS
THERE Is A LONG LIST OF MPoR-
TANT BILLS CROWDING
BOTH HOUSES
REDUCTION OF WAR TARIFFS
That Is Apparently the Most
Urgent Matter to Come
Before the Sem
Rte.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The senate
will take up the executive, legislative and
judicial appropriation bill Monday as
soon as possible after converting. There
Is little In the bill that ordinarily would
create debate, but 1t does not seem i'm
probable that several days may be re-
quired to act on 1t because of the de-
sire on the part Of some senators to post
pone consideration of the ship subsidy
bill as long as possible.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
f1nancee committee. probably will report
the war revenue reduction bill Monday
or Tuesday, and he will ask immediate
consideration for that measure.
Senator Morgan has not indicated his
purpose with reference to the Nicaragua
canal bill, but his friends say that he
will delay reasonable time, and that If
England does not act upon the amend
ments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty he
then will demand consideration of the
canal bill.
Renewed effort will be made Monday
or tuesday in executive session to secure
the confirmation of J. 8. Harlan as at
torney general for Porto Rico, and also
to secure ratification of the treaty with
Spain for the cession of the remaining
islands of the Philippine group.
The house will devote most Of its at
tention during the coming week to ap-
preparation bills, series of them-Dis-
trict of Columbia, Notifications, naval,
postoff1ce and agriculture-being ready
for consideration.
