Michael Doran, of St. Paul, member
Of the Democratic committee from Min
nesota is at the Arlington. He is one of
the most enthusiastic workers, and says
the convention will go to St. Paul if
Senator Hill keeps his hands off. "The
next Democratic convention will go the
city," said he, "which Mr. Hill desig
nates, but if the senator from New
York follows the advice he has been
given he will stand aside and permit
the contest to be a fair free-for-all fight
without any handicap. The great
trouble with Senator Hill is that he does
not know when he has enough. He
now has New York, Tammany, the
speaker of the house and all the com
mittee chairmanships, and his latest
victory is the house restaurant.. He

Will Take PMptr Car* of It.
She lias no candidates and everybody
will be fairly treated:" Mr. Atkins a
Vermont member, is in the city, and is
understood to be in favor of New York
city. Brad Smalley is also here. Mr.
Smalley was formerly a member of the
Committee, and when he resigned, Mr.
Atkins was appointed. Mr. Smalley is
supposed to be here for the purpose of
coaching his successor, and there is no
secret as to Mr. Smalley's choice. He
is for any location Senator Gorman
wants. The senator favors New York,
since Smalley is for New York, and the
attitude of Mr. Atkins can be
easily guessed. Erksine M. Phelps the
Illinois member is on a tour around the
world, but his proxy is in the hands of
Representative Cable of that state.
Henry Watterson will cast the vote of
Kentucky for Cincinnati. Much ob
jection is made to Cincinnati, how
ever, for the reason that it is too hot
there at convention time, and for the
further and more potent reason that if
the convention is taken there it is the in
tention of the politicians of that sec
tion to spring Senator Carlisle as the
candidate.

A RAILROAD SCHEME,.
The Kansas City Koad lo Become a
Part of the Chicago Great West
era Sjstem.
The New Company Incorporated at
Chicago with a Capital ef Kiaetj
Million Dollars*
The Rockefellers Prosecuting Their
Scheme to et Even with the
Goulds.
r. PAO., Jan. 18.—A published dis
patch from Chicago Sunday stated that
a new railroad corporation had been
organized for the construction of a belt
line at Chicago which was to become a
part of the Chicago, St. Paul and Kan
sas City system. Among' the incor
porators were mentioned several St.
Paul gentlemen, stockholders in the
Kansas City. Upon investigation this
enterprise turned out to mean much
more than was indicated by tho state
ment first sent out from Chicago. It is
a reorganization of whole Kansas City
system, which will be known under a
new name, that of Chicago Great
Western —not Chicago and Great West
ern, as stated. The line, according to
the articles of incorporation, is to be
constructed from Hammond, Ind., to a
point near Evanston, to the north of
Chicago, thus forming a belt line about
that city. But this, it seems, did not
convey the real object of the scheme.
The new corporation, the Chicago
Great Western, is incorporated with a
capital of $90,000,000. The present Chi
cago, St. Paul and Kansas City system
will probably be leased by the new cor
poration, and will be operated under
the new name. The junior securities
of the t\vo corporations may be ex
changed, while the first mortgage bonds
of the Kansas City are still provided for
—that is. the details of the plan for tak
ing cart of them have not yet been com
pleted. A. B. Stickney, chairman of
the board of the Kaunas City, is now in
the East perfecting the details of the
new deal.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—The Times says
that a private dispatch received in this
city announces that the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railway has completed
negotiations for options on valuable ter
minal properties in Fort Worth and at
Dallas, Tex. The property is said to be
worth $1,000,000. It is stated that the
extension of the road to Fort Worth is
to be for the purpose of making direct
connection with the Missouri, Kansas &
and Texa~ system. The latter company
is controlled by the Standard Oil peo
ple, to whom it was said to have been
unloaded by Jay Gould at (40 per share.
After the purchase it was discovered
that the road was brnkrupt and was put
into the hands of a receiver. Now it is
said that Mr. Rockefeller is going to
"get even'' with the Goulds. The ex
tension of the Rock Island is said to be
part of the evening up programme as
outlined by the Standard Oil magnates.

of his potations became more apparent
he grew bolder in his assertions, uiitfl
he had start led his audience with the
statement that he himself had bought
