 Restrictive Legislation.

 In 1898 the company had $30 1000 900, A stock dividened of 50 per cent, dis. .ribution of 20 per cent was made. Noticing the enormous earnings, the State of Illinois began fight on the company which forced it to get out of the real estate business. Big revenue was gained from the town of Pullman.

FISH GIVES UP THE FIGHT
PRESIDENT OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 IS OPPOSED.
For Fight Next Year-Unioniza- ton of Road Is Expected.

New YOrk-With the deposition of Stuyvesant Fish as president of the Illinois Central at the meeting of the board of directors, the road will pass into complete control of E.. H. Hartman, and the last link in the Hartman transcontinental system will have been obtained Mir, Fish will make no effort to control the election of president, but will endeavor through the year to obtain proxies for a fight next year
 With Hartman in control of the Illinois Central it is only question Of months, or possibly weeks, before the road is merged with the Union Pacific The stock control will not pass, how ever, until the echoes of the present fight have passed away The merg- ing of the Union Pacific and the Hi nois Central means that the Standard Oil party under the railroad leadership of Hartman will have strapped the country with system reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the great lakes to the gulf.
 A Hartman supporter, speaking of the coming change, said:
 "In the course of time Hartman will no doubt .unionize' the road. But there will be no drastic action It will be done gradually and 'pacifcal- ly.'"
