Chicago. Dec. 15.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway proposes
to withdraw from the union depot in
Chicago and erect a passenger sta.
ton of its own facing Madison street
and between Clinton and Jefferson.
II it chose this site the st. Paurs sta
ton would be directly across Clinton
street from the new 100000 900 sta
ton which the Northwestern is pre-
pairing to erect.
| 1t was impossible to get either
confirmation or denial of the correct
ness of the rumor from an authorita-
tive source at the st. Paul general
Offices.
Several circumstances seem to give
color to the report There have been
many inquiries for real estate in the
ineighborhood in question, which have
been taken to indicate that some big
Improvement. in addition to the cree
ton of the Northwestern's station
and terminals, was to be made there.
The union depot, which the st.
Paul now enters, is VIGOROUSLY mad
equate to handle properly the busi-
ness of the lines using it. The St.
Paul, with rapidly growing BUSH
ness, is especially cramped in the
matter of passenger terminals and
in consequence is enabled to handle
but a restricted suburban traffic
When it gets its Pacific coast line
built it will feel the need of larger
terminal and depot facilities, both
passenger and freight, even more
keeny than it does now
On the other hand, it is the general
understanding among railway men
that the Pennsylvania intends within
a few years to erect a large new
union depot on the site of the old
one, and it has been supposed that
all the lines entering the old station
would use the new one. 1t was I'M
possible to ascertain how long the
st. PauPs contract with the Pennsyl-
vania has to run.
