road Company, together with all Of fits terminal
laclIties rolling stock and motive power eo,1p-
hlent VIII soon become the sole property of and a
subsidiary line to the system of the Canadian Pa
chic Railroad Company, according to unofficial in
formation from headquarters OF the Great Western
in St Paul.
Inc TACT that gives this report more weight than
Ordinary rumors is the assertion of of off,
cals to the effect that during the visit of President
Sir T. G. Shaughnessy of the Canadian Pacific Rail
road in st Paul last week an unlimited option on
the Chicago Great Western was obtained by Presi-
dent Shaughnessy and Horace G. Burt from the re-
ceiVers OF the Great Western. Further IL is said
that owing TO the labor troubles which the Cana
oan system is having. IT is impossible for that sys
TEN to take over the Great Western now and for
that reason the option obtained from the re-
ceirers.

ever about IT. the reply of Sir Thomas G.
Shaughnessy president of the Canadian Pacific Rail
way to-day, when asked concerning the report that
the Canadian Pacific would take the Chicago
Great Western Railroad as a subsidiary line.
A man in this city who is prominently identified
with the Canadian Pacific said yesterday that, al
though without positive information the subject
he did not credit the report of coming absorption
of the Great Western. He added that it not
the purpose of the management 10 any part of
the proceeds OF the $50, 100000 additional common
stock which the Shareholders will be asked to
thorize next month in acquisition of other roads.
The r7Imor that the Canadian Pacific would take
over the Chicago Great Western has been current
from time time since the latter road was
placed in a receivership last January.
