Chicago. May 3-(Special)--Johnw w. Gates and his friends have bought the Monon and the Louisville and Nashville Railroads and will merge them into . neva road which is to be organized to run between Chicago, Cincinnati. Indianapo- lis. Louisville, Nashville. Memphis. Bir- mlngham, Montgomery, Atlanta. Pensa- cola and New Orleans.
 The new road will parallel the Illinois Central road as a new through route be- tween Chicago and New Orleans. and it will probably be called the Chicago and New Orleans Railway Company sa
 J. P. Morgan & Co., have agreed to finance the new company. which is to take over the two roads Six or per cent will be guaranteed upon the common and preferred stocks of the roads and the balance of the earnings. if there Is any. will go into the coffers of the new company.
 The purchase of the controlling interest h the Monon road was closed yesterday. and is consequence of the busting of the Eelmonts from the control of the Louis vile and Nashville road few weeks ago.
 The beginning of the campaign which has made the Gates crowd owners of two valuable railroads connecting Chicago with most of the State south of Mason and Dixon's Line, dates back a year ago.
 Had Too Much Money.
 At that time the Chicago man and his coterie of financial friends had cleaned up so many millions through fortunate steel speculations and investments in other industrials that they had more money lying in Chicago. and New York vaults than they knew what do to with.
 Let's buy railroad" suggested Mir Gates and the suggestion met with in stant approval from the men who had tied their fortunes to his. In casting eyes over the railroad field, the Gates .crowd decided the most likely looking road was the Louisville and Nashvilig This road would satisfy all their wants only it happened to belong to the group pl New York millionaires known as the Bel mont faction. They were not willing ts let go If the road. so Mir. Gates sat dowI and waited for a good opportunity 10 talk the road away from the Belmonts wher they weren't looking. t
 Such an opportunity came few week, ago. when the Belmonts decided to issue $5oA0. 900 of stock, increasing the stoci issue of the Louisville and Nashville tt $6o,000.000. Gates had been quietly buy. ing up stock for the last twelve months ever since he made up his mind to ge, control of the Louisville and Nashville aud when the Belmont crowd attempte ed to make a little turn cling stock

 Y"There has been uore or less gossip. '' he said about Secretary Hay and Sec retary Root retiring. l think they will remain. Secretary Hay has been very successful.

 How is the navy getting along as com pared with the navies of other nations?" he was asked.
