SHUTS OUT THE ADAMS.

The United States Express Company Takes the Northwestern Lines. Chicago, Jan. 19. Ex-Senator Thomas C. Platt, of New York', president of the United States Express co:npany, was in Chicago Wednesday. Before he left he had consummated a deal by which his company will occupy the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway and all its branches, retiring from the Chicago & Northwestern railway in favor of the American Express company. This practically shuts out the Adams company, which ha# hitherto had the St. Paul's business from the northwest. The Adams company’s offices in Milwaukee will be closed. The agreement goes into effect about March 1.
