WINNIPEG CONFIRMS STORY

st. Paul, Sept. 23.-Recevier A. B..
S%tickney last evening denied that
there was any truth in the report that
the Canadian Pacific had secured con-
troll of the Chicago Great Western
railroad.
This denial comes from Receiver
S~tickney in the face Of q report re-
ceived from a Canadian Pacific official
aud the report being confil med in part
by the Canadian Pacific railroad Off
cials in Winnipeg, where arrange
ments are being made, it is said, to
change schedules of trains running
out of that city, in order to connect
with Chicago Great Western trains
running out of the Twin Cities for Chi
cago. Kansas City and Omaha.
Unlimited Option.
The report which has been current
for some time past was to the effect
that the Canadian Pacific had secured
al unlimited option on the purchase of
the Chicago Great Western road, this
ortion being taken in lieu of purchase,
which could not at this time be very
Well effected, owing to the labor trou-
bles existing on the northern trans
continental line.
4 dispatch from Winnipeg states
that a practical confirmation of the
reported sale has been made by the
Canadian Pacific officials at that point,
when arrangements were completed to
change the schedules and make con-
nections with Chicago and Kansas
City trains of the Chicago Great West
EN- out of st. Paul.
New folders according to the report,
are being issued to show these connec-
items by way of the 500 line and st.
Paul.
The report further states that
through train service between these
places will be established.
When shown this report, Receiver
Stickney exclaimed:
"Why, there is not a word Of truth
in the statement. There is not the
least foundation for the report, and
the Chicago Great Western will be
operated Independently, as in years
her etofore."
