Hill Interests You'd Merge -Four
Roads and Cross Country.

ST Paul Feb lit was disclosed here to-day
that one of the gigantic transcontnental rail
road deals ever known is being formulated. 1t
means the consolidation OF the Northern Pacific
/ and the Chicago Milwaukee and ST. Paul and the
Great Northern and the Burlington into two great
! transcontnental lines. 1t also means attempt
to shut the Hartman interests on the Pacific
Coast and desperate fight between the four lines
/ mentioned and the Hartman lines. AS disclosed
to-day by an authority of unquestioned integrity
the situation is follows:
The undertaking involves two separate transac-
lions They have been in the minds of the pro-
moters for several years. The proposal means two
of the greatest railroad systems in the world The
Great Northern, with its sl20OcO00 OF iron ore
lease, and the sale of rights to its own and Bur
lington stockholders amounting TO $00o0.0o more
will cement these roads into vast double
track system to the coast. The Northern Pacific,
whose stock is actually worth 500 on the basis of
its earnings may easily devote 100000 toward
the purchase OF stock in the Chicago. Milwaukee
and ST. Paul. extending TO the Pacific Coast
and practically paralleling the Northern Pacific.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul will find it
mo more at points along The route to use
this end
A railroad attorney. whose business brings him
in touch with the financial end of all of these
roads. asserts that affairs are so shaping that one
within two years at least, and possibly sooner,

out by James ]. Hill. The attorney asserted his
OF the fact that Mr. Hill is getting along IN
years and wishes to see his ambition realized as
quickly possible
Railroad men do not doubt that such am arrange
ment would be beneficial to all the roads con-
cerned 1t is simply matter of working the
detail. an easy matter for Of millions. AS the
first move, il is understood the Burlington bonds,
guaranteed by the Northern Pacific, are TO be
called In and retired In effect the Northern Pa
cific and the Chicago Milwaukee and st. Paul will
be merged. and the Great Northern and Burlington
will be made system It is understood that the
Great Northern will absorb the Burlington while
70" few years the Chicago. Milwaukee and St.
Paul and the Northern Pacific will work in con-
junction. the Northern Pacific finally absorbing
the st. Paul road. These the plans outlined by
parties so close to ]. ]. Hill to make the story
seem inspired.

president is preparing his answer to
the senate resolution calling for in
formation regarding the affair.
Mr.. Stewart presented to the presi-

president Commends Island In Special
Message to Congress.
Washington, Dec. u. - The presi-
dents message giving the result of his
recent observations in Porto Rico and
recommending that full American citi-
zenship be conferred on the people Of
the island WAS read in congress.
The scenery of Porto Rico says
the president twas wonderfully beau
t;ful, especially among the mountains
Of the interior. which constitute veri-
table tropic Switzerland lie follows
with a recommendation that san Juan
harbor be dredgad to admit OF the en-
trance of battleshlp.
The president compliments the Amer
lean representatives in charge of the
Porto Rican insular government, lauds
the school system, recommends that
the Porto Rican regiment of natives be
perpetuated and gives figures showing
that the imports and exports of the
island last year amounted to $40, 5,000,-
600 as against S1S,00o,000 in 1901 and
as against $23,0O0, 900 in 1896, the most
prosperous year Porto Rico ever expe-
rienced under Spanish rule. He recon-
mends that some measure be taken for
the benefit of the Porto Rican coffee
trade, which is in bad way.
