walls of the lines controlled by the
Gould and Rockefeller interests.
A closer alliance of the Chicago d
Alton and the Kansas City Southern
lines has long been considered logi-
cal proposition. The delay has been
accustomed by the fact that the voting
trust of the southern lines does not
expire until early in 1901, when it is
very likely that the consolidation will
take place. The Alton has a triangle
system, with Kansas City, Chicago
and ST. Louis on the points of the tri-
angle, and the Kansas City Southern
runs straight as the crow flies" to
Port Arthur on the gulf coast.

BIG COMBINATION
Rock island and Erie Said to be
Figuring on
Union.
INTO TRANsooNTINENTAL SYSTEM
Would Span the Country Reach
ing Both Oceans and
Gulf.

\ rumor which credits the Rookie
Teller interests with purpose to get
control of the Eric railroad, with the
ultimate union of the interests of the
Erie and Rock Island, was being dis
cussed in railroad circles in Chicago
yesterday. Purchases of Erie stock
by the Rockefellers and by Marshall
Field and Norman b. Ream were con-
sidered sufficient foundation for the
story that the combination is sched-
uled to take place as soon as the fl
nanceS of the Erie and the conditions
giving the control to the voting trus-
tees can be arranged. Ii is pointed
out by those who are inclined to cred
it the latest report that the two sys-
TENS would make strong east and
west line.
The recent movements by the Erie
management have indicated that
there is an appreciation of the inn
portance of strengthening the posi-
tion of the road in the west. The re-
moval of the general freight offices
to Chicago was as alleged in this di-
rectiCn. The combination with the
Rock Island would make the two sys-
TENS. one of which is now trunk
line proposition and the other a west
ern. a compact transcontinental con
Germ. To the present large mileage
of the Rock Island would be added
nearly 2.50O miles i'm the Erie system.
and the Erie would give to the Rock
Island means of reaching the At
lautic at New York with the traffic
collected in the west and south. 1t
is the general belief that within a
comparatively short time the Erie
will he double tracked from Chicago
to New York.

Milwaukee and NJ. X. & t., May Unite
Against e., X. I. = T.. and Frisco.
1t is believed in railroad circles that
there viii be two more mergers of
Kansas City railroads before another
year is done The Rock IsIand-'Frisc
merger is likely TO be followed by the
consolidation of tho Chicago. Mil
waukee d st. Paul and the Missouri,
Kansas d Texas railroads. There are
also promising indications that the
Chicago d Alton and the Kansas City
Southern railroads will he more
closely united before many months.
The Milwaukee and katy" lines
are both controlled by the Rockefell-
ers. and the Rock Island-'Frisco's COM
bined systems is the formidable rival
of the lines now proposed to he con
solidated. The Milwaukee road has
completed plans for extensive termin-
ais in Kansas City, and work is being
pushed to establish a fast passenger
and freight service between Kansas
City and Chicago. The Katy" now
enters Kansas City on Frisco tracks
by virtue of lease that expires next
year The Katy" engineers are
working are working on a plan for
the Katy" to enter Kansas City by
extending it's own tracks from Paola,
Kans.. to Toad-a-Loup. If the deal be-
tween the Milwaukee and katy" is
completed the Katy" can get into
Kansas City over the Belt Line tracks.
The Santa Fe, Frisco and Milwau-
kee lines own the Kansas City Belt
railroad.
Would Complete New system.
The union of the two lines would
TEN which would be formidable
rival TO the Rock Island Frisco com
bination. The Milwaukee runs a net
work of lines in the states lying be-
tween Lake Michigan and the upper
Missouri river territory, with direct
line southwark to Kansas City. The
Katy" has a similar system in the
southern states, with terminals in the
north in Kansas City and St. Louis
and an arm reaching to Galveston on
the gulf. An alliance between the
two lines would be decidedly advan-
tageous and there are indications that
il will take place. The Rockefellers
are on friendly terms with the Mis-
souri, Pacific. and will join hands with
the Goulds in an effort to keep the
business from the Rock Island-'Frisco

are endeaVoring to civilize in the far
east, returned to her home with her
two children during the present week,
after passing drought the most try
ing ordeals. How the husband died of
smallpox last fall, has been told in
The Argus. The details of the expert
ences of the family as told by Mrs.
Allen after her return are as follows:
The Aliens left San Francisco Feb.
%, Washington's birthday; the day
Prince Henry landed in this country,
April %, they landed in Manila, where
they remained five weeks, until Mr..
Allen was assigned to Cebu under the
school superintendency of Prof. Nc

only man in the archipelago who be-
friended Mr.. Allen. or even concerned
himself about his welfare or that Of
his widow and two children after his
death.
The family spent Il month at Cebu,
the Maya school, ten miles distant.
They reached there July 1, 1902, and

the mileage of the road way made
