CHANGES IN ROUTE PLANNED.

NEW YORK. Feb Ill Special. j
Another change in the management of
the Wisconsin Central railway will
probably lie brought about within a com
paratively short time.
The Minneapolis, st. Pau & Sault
st. Marie Railway company, better
known as the 500 road, has made prop
position to lease the Wisconsin Central
for period of ninety-nine years on a
guarantee Of paying per cent. annually
TO the holders of the preferred stock,
the present holders to refrain from vot-
ing the stock.
This arrangement means that the Ca
madam Pacific will acquire a direct in
tereSt III the Central, and when the pro-
posed change is brought about, prepara-
tons will Immediately be made for
transcOntinental trains from Chicago to
the western terminus Of the Canadian
Pacific
Committee Is Named.
n committee of the directors of the
Wisconsin Central railway was appoint
ed today by the board to discuss with
directors and officials of the 500 road
this proposition. The committee con-
sists of Newman Erb, president of the
Wisconsin Central; f. II. Prince, Mark
L. Cox and j. S. Bache 1t is understood
of preferred stock under this agreement.
After the So" acquires control directly
of the Wisconsin Central, it is said that
work will be commenced to shorten the
distance between Chicago and Mime
apolis by constructing a new line from
MukwOnago, Wis, to Grand Rapids,
Wis, and another from Spencer, Wis,
to Owen, Wis, cutting off 1853 miles of
the present line
Division Points Change.
If this construction work is DONE it
means that two division points may be
changed. Fond du Lac and Abbotsford
are now the division points between Chi
cago and Minneapolis. They would not
be on the main line of the new road, al
though it is probable that the large car
shops at Fond du Lac will remain there.
The old line would be used for much of
the cOmEany's business, but the trans
continental trains VIII be run over the
new track i'll order to cut down the time
between the Chicago terminus and the
Twin cities
