Vancouver, B. c., Feb. ,5.-Options on
half million dollars worth of property
IN the east end of Vancouver have just
been secured by the Great Northern
railway. The property is water front
on False creek, branch of English bay.
The company intends building a canal
from deep water on the main harbor side
of the city to the site that has Deen Sc

Two weeks ago the Great Northern ac-
quired the charter of the Victoria, Van
couver & Eastern railway, whose pro-
jected line is 800 miles in length from the
Kootenay mining cities to Vancouver.
The plan is for the eastern end of the
line to connect with the Great Northern
system running out of Spokane. which
will give a separate outlet at the coast,
besides Seattle. To cross the Fraser
river at Westminster is another feature
of the project and from there to VAN

Secure Control of an Illinois Road Into
Chicago.

New York, Feb. 5.--It was reported in
Wall street today that the Missouri Pa
chic had secured control of the Chicago

Missouri Pacific declined to confirm or
deny the report. 1t is estimated i'm cir-

that 1t is not the Missouri Pacific which
has taken the control but the st. Louis

tends southerly from Chicago to Thebes

and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois have

TO KEEP TRO0Fs IN CHINA.
The Present American Force Will Not
Be Decreased.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The cabinet to-
day at it's meeting again discussed the
question of the number of troops to be
left in China. A tentative conclusion
was reached not to augment or decrease
the force now there.
Comfortable quarters for the troops
are now being prepared, and unless con-
ditions change the present force will re-
main during the winter.
The question of an extra session is
still in allegiance, but the opinion is ex-
pressed that in the event of congress
passing the Spooner Philippine bill an
extra session may be avoided. especially
as there seems to be some doubt whether
the Cuban constitution will be adopted
in time for action, even at an extra ses-
sion, If called soon after March 4.
With the Spooner bill unacted upon
by this congress. il is believed an extra
session will be called.
