TO Ee the Purchaser.

Chicago, March 12.-The Tribune
says: The air is thick with rumors
Of gigantic railway deals and combina-
tons. The most important of these
is report that tie Illinois Central
had or was about to secure control of
the Wisconsin Central railway. Vice
President Hanrahan when questioned
regarding the matter, said he knew
nothing of it and did not believe there
was any foundation whatever for the
report. He could not see of what ben
eft the acquisition Of the Wisconsin
Central would be to the Illinois
Central. 1t was claimed that several
large stockholders of the Illinois Cen
trail had acquired privately a major

assured of n controlling interest in

made would extend the Illinois as a
corporation and thus give the latter a

EranciSco

Washington, March 12.--In view of
persistent publication of the report
that the bubonic plague existed in San
Francisco the treasury department
some weeks ago appointed experts to
examine into and report on the situa-

make it public at this time. Almost
simultaneously with the receipt of the
report delegation of prominent citi-

and have since had number of con-

gard to the matter. The committee
has given out statement, as has also
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury

terms the presence of bubonic plague
in San Francisco, the former setting
forth that the death rate is the small

years. There is no truth in the state
ment that the federal authorities have
assumed control of the health affairs
in that city.
