500 LINE THE BUYER
CANADIAN P4CTFIC NOPE.
WM Acqmre Chicago Great Western
Through Subsidiary.

Dispatches from Montreal yesterday tended 10
confirm the report so long circulated that the
Chicago Great Western Railway Company
which is in the hands of receiver will even
tually become part of the Canadian Pacific
system The deal for the acquisition OF the
maple Leaf line will be put through. however,
not by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company
Itself. but by its powerful subsidiary. the Mime
apolls, st. Paul & Saute Ste. Marie Railway
Company. better known as the 500 line
Canadian Pacific officials in Montreal said that
While the deal had not yet been completed ne
EQUATIONS were under way which were expected
10 culn1lnate soon. To this end President T G..
Shaughnessy of the Canadian Pacific and sew
eral other officials of the road left Montreal for
st. Paul several days ago. The head offices Of
both the Chicago Great Western and the 500
line are in St Paul.
geographically the Chicago Great Western is
well situated to give the Canadian Pacific what
1t has long wanted an entrance into Chicago. and
from there line of its own to Omaha and Kan
sas City. The Chicago. Great Western runs north
from Chicago to Minnea polls and St Paul west
to Omaha and southwest to Kansas City It
makes connection at St Paul with the 500
line which in turn connects at Duluth with
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railway
Company, a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacific
The 500 line also connects directly with the
main line of the Canadian Pacific at Portal,
Nd.
The acquisition of the Chicago, Great Western
by the Canadian Pacific, it has been believed
will allow the Canadian road to make lower
rates for through freight and passenger service
from the Dominion of Canada to Chicago than
are now made by the American roads operating
in the Northwest. The Canadian Pacific is not
amena bic to the rulings of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and make it's own terms
over its lines in the Dominion of Canada Rates
from the border south. of course will have TO
conform to the American standards. By reduc-
ing the rate TO the border, however a lower
through rate than that in force by its American
rivals could easily be established
As plans are also understood to be well under
way for the sale Of the Wisconsin Central Rail-
way Company to the Canadian Pacific, the lat
ter road promises TO become an important factor
in the railroad business of the American North

TAFT WORKERS HAPPY.
Increasing Contributions Shoe Hoo
Interest GrOzcS.

The tide has turned in the campaign and
every one at Republican national headquarters
is happy William L. Ward. national committee
man from New York, and member of the ad-
visory committee, told Tribune reporter last
night at his home in Port Chester that every
thing was in much better condition than week
ago Advices from the West are that Judge
Tafts speeches are stirring Republicans and
Democrats in Illinois and Wisconsin. President
Roosevelt's vigorous attacks on Bryan and Has
kell have put the Democrats on the defensive
and that is where Chairman Hitchcock plans 70
keep them for the remainder of the campaign
Mr.. Hitchcock will be back from Chicago
to-day. and there will be a meeting OF the
advisory committee this forenoon at IL O'CLOCK
to decide on the last important things before the
hard open work of the campaign begins IN the
East.
The national committee has studiously re-
Trained from soliciting or accepting campaign
contributions from any one directly connected
with corporations that are being prosecuted by
the federal government. Some of these men in
former campaigns have been large contributors
to the fund. Some of them offered this year 70
give az usual but the committee courteousiy
declined the proffers-
At the same time the committee has been un-
remitting in its efforts to impress upon Repuo-
lcan business men the necessity OF supporting
the Republican ticket with money and argument
These efforts did not at first make much OF an
impression but the tide is now turning Scores
Of Republican business men have informed the
national committee that the defeat OF Bryan
being fully assured their financial aid was not
necessary The committee has succeeded, to
some extent, in dissipating this erroneous I'M
preston.
The criticism of Chairman Hitchcock seems
70 have aroused the dormant interest OF Re-
publicans everywhere, Letters are being re-
ceived every day asking if things are as bad as
reported by Democratic papers and piedglng
support If it is needed.
When Mr.. Ward was asked last night TO make
a statement about the actual condition OF al
fairs inside Republican lines. he said:
II will start with a word about Chairman
Hitchcock There has been deliberate misrep-
resentation concerning his status in the com
nnittee AS soon as the newspapers the latter
mart OF this week opened with q fusiliade about

to for help. The two companies of
Camden and Wyoming fought the

with little effect, as soon the entire
structure was in a blaze. A few
furnishings down stairs were saved,
including two pianos, a lounge and
some carpets, possibly not over $500
worth in all, the balance of the house
