ILLINOIS CENTRAL'S COUP.

Said to Have Acquired Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railroad to Keep
l.. ~ y. Out of Chicago.
Chicago. July SO.-lThe Record-Her-
aid tomorrow will say:
The Chicago AND Eastern Illinois
chaser is said to be the Illinois Cen
trail The latter company has quietly
executed coup whereby a presump-
tive dangerous competitor, the Louis
vile and Nashville, will be kept out
of Chicago.
That the Eastern Illinois has at last
changed hands little doubt remains,
the information to that effect coming
from one of the large stockholders,
who is also a close friend of H. II.
Porter, chairman of the board. 1t is
understood that the control was OBJ
tanned by paying $3.50 per share for
the stock owned by H II. Porter, the
largest Individual stakeholder, and the
stock held by certain of his friends.
Several times before it has been ru-
mored that the Illinois Central had
purchased the road, but each time the
rumor remained unconfirmed.
Several months ago it became known
that the Louisville and Nashville was
after the property with view to get
tting an entrance into Chicago. At the
time John w. Gates purchased the
Louisville and Nashville, and turned
the property over to ]. p Morgan, the
Louisville and Nashville and Southern
are said to have made a joint offer of
$240 for a controlling interest in the
property. Mr.. Porter, however, insist
ed upon. $3.50 and the deal fell through.
1t was at that time thought the pro-
ject was to combine the Louisville and
Nashville, and the Monon and the
Southern and the Eastern Illinois,
giving each of the big Southern rail-
roads q Chicago terminus.

public use, probably of one of the uni
versities and preferably Cambridge,
with which Lord Acton was connected.

DEMOCRATS OPPOSE BILL
Commerce Committee Vote to Take
UP Ship Subsidy Measure.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE commit
tee on commerce today authorized d
favorable report on Senator Frye's
ship subsidy bill. The report will be
made by Senator Frye.
The democratic members of the
committee voted against the report
ing of the bill. They also voted
solidly for a motion offered by Sen
ator Mallory to strike out the general
subsidy provision of the bill. The COM
mittee made several amendments to
the bill. The most important were:
Allowing mail carrying vessels under
the bill to be either iron or steel in
stead of steel only as originally pro-
vided and another reducing to 1000
gross registered tons the vessels re-
ceiving a bounty under the bill.
The bill prepared by Senator Frye
was read to the committee. 1t says
the purpose of the bill is to establish
the maritime supremacy of the Unit
ed States in trade with Asia and in
the Gulf Of Mexico and the Caribbean
sea, to establish thoroughly trade be-
tween the United States and South
American republics and to give the
United States a respectable repre-
sentation on the North Atlantic. The
claim is made that all these results
will be accomplished within 10 years.
The report also asserts that the bill
will so extend ship building from as to
transfer in time from abroad to the
United States the center of that in
dustry as the centers of other indus
tries recently have been transferred
and also that it will give to the United
States a measure of maritime indie
pendence corresponding to our indus
trial and agricultural independence.
