ANOTHER ROAD FOR OMAHA Line from Sionx Oity to Be Oonetrncttd in This Direction , CONSTRUCTION iTO BEGIN IN MAY Jiciv Itonil to Slop OtitNhlc Corimrntc J/liull * nml t'HU Trnrlm of Oiniiliu llrlilKP nnd 'l > r- iiilnnl Coniinn > - > Of the EOTcral ml I road n now building In the direction of Omaha with the avowed pur. pose of entering thla city the Sioux City & Omaha will probably be the first In active operaiioa. A man Interested In the construe- tlon of this line is in the city , and while ha voudjuafus llttlo Information about the com pany behind the enterprise , ho furnishes enough to warrant thla statement. The line will bo but 100 miles long , connecting nt Sioux City with an old established company , probably the Great Northern , and It will not require much tlmo to construct It when work once begins. The authority quoted said work will begin on the building of the line May 1 , nnd will bo pushed rapidly , the road to bo In opera tion by fall. It Is said the promoters have mot with more obstructions in this abort line than tnnny other companies that have contemplated a line several times as long. Hut contracts have been made with the Indians on tlio Wlnncbago and Omaha reservations tor the land to bo used as the right of way , and as this constitutes a larger portion of the route between the two cities , It is expected that the rest of the right of way can be secured rapidly enough to pro- voiU any Interruption of the grading after the work IB once begun. The road will not bo built Into Omaha. Tbat much of the Information Is given out authoritatively. The promoters will not risk the annoyance of Injunction suits which have been the experience of other roads con templating building Into the city , nnd will terminate Us line proper outside the city limits , and a trackage agreement inado by which Its trains can bo brought to a down * town depot. This trackage agreement will bo with the Omaha Bridge nnd Terminal company , and the terminal yards of the company will bo In East Omaha. So much information relative to the purposes of the Sioux City & Omaha seems to bo authorita tive. tive.Ofllcors Ofllcors of the terminal company , when broached with the proposition , seemed pleased "with the Idea of this road nslni ; their tracks nnd terminal facilities , but assumed that the statements made wore news to them , and matters upon which they Iiad no knowledge , aside from the facts con voyed to them by the Interviewer. CIIISAI1 Il.VTUS TO PACIFIC COAST. JIomcNcnUnrn * KxtMirnloiin I.lkely to Start n Ulndirliliie Klciiirnt. Indications are now that within a month there will be isomo cheap rates to the coast. If they come they will bo the outgrowth of the homeseekers' excursions which have al ways been more or loss a cause of disturb ance among the woatern roads. The Great Northern and the Northern Pacific have Just announced ono-halt faro for settlers' excursions along their lines , good to any point as far west as the 1'aclflo coast. This rate becomes effoctlvo Tuesday , and for ex cursions on March 1 and 7. It Is the first break during the winter of a strict main tenance of tariff rateH on passenger business nnd may be far-reaching in Its consequences. TJndor the agreement on which these home- Beckers' excursions are conducted the rates apply only to Minnesota , the Dakotns , Ne- In-aiika , Kansas and as far west as Idaho. The northern lines take the ground that there has been unjust discrimination against territory along their roads In favor of Colorado and other western states. To meet this alleged discrimination they have inado the rates apply to Montana , Oregon nnd Washington points. These localities arc ulqo reached by the southern roads , aud they will not permit other lines to make a lower rate there than their tariff provides. The now rates put In effect by the northern Hues apply to cither ono way or round trips. At the. Union Pacific passenger ofllce It was said that the company cannot meet the rates in the excursion due tomorrow , but that for all subsequent excursions , which Imvo been scheduled to the latter part of 1 May , these rates will undoubtedly bo mai'i > unless they are withdrawn by the noi thorn roads. They said their Interests in tlio far northwest nro too largo to risk losing any of the trafllc legitimately belonging to the road by lower rates made by competitive lines. At the Burlington offices virtually the ( tame statement was made as bearing upon the possible action of that road , and there will probably bo a conference between these two roads at once. It was suggested at the latter ofllco that the Western Passenger association would authorize the western roads to moot the extension made by the northern Hues. Itrport of I'lirc-liHKo IN Coiillrinoil. The icportod purchase by the Burlington of the Keokuk & Western has been virtually continued by the officials of the former road , although the time for the transfer of the property In not yet ktiown In this city. While this now acquisition practically parallels the Burlington half way across the state of Iowa , it Is doomed a valuable addition to the system , as It furnishes the Burlington an other Hno out of Keokuk , and also opens up u now territory to 'the ' road In northeastern Missouri. Southern Iowa Is legitimate Bur- llngtoa territory , as Us lines network that portion of the state much as they do In Bouthnrn Nobraaka , nnd the Keokuk & West ern will unable It to more thoroughly clean up the truffle In that portion of the Hawk- yo etnta. The purchased line also con- nocls with tlie Humcstou & Shonnndoah , a Burtlucton possession , whlcli will furnish another line connecting the Missouri and rivers. I.ooklnp ? Toward Xelirnnkn W. H. Ivannlng , an Immigration agent at Hastings , has Just bocn In consultation with Ctoioral Pasjongor Agent Francis of the Burlington over immigration matters and f y8 ho tiai b cn rccolvlng nioro Inquiries r sardlng ifora lands In Ills section of the etnto than be has received In several years. Most of tha Inquires crnno from people who oontomplato moving west next fall , they linwine completed arrangements for re maining where Uiey nro during the present eo&on. The Inquirers live in Illinois , Iowa , Mlfsourl and Wisconsin and Mr. Lannlng Interprets Uao conditions to point to a heavy Immigration to Nebraska next fall It there U a good season laero this summer. IVn Credence In tlio Ilciiort. A story has inado Its periodical appear ance In Chicago and Denver papers relative to tlio Intention of roads east of the Mla- pourl withdrawing their freight and passen- tor agents from the towns between that river nnd the Pacific coast , which would offqct BOIUG 300 employes. The Idea of re trenchment and economy Is given as tlie ruason for doing away with what has been considered an Important branch of railroad officials. At the offices of the roads In this oily no credence Is given tbo story. H Is pronounced simply a revival of a rumor which has done long nnd valued service In BOUIO newspapers for years. Hullvrur XoU-s nml 1'ernonnU. The Missouri. Pacific lias awarded a contract - tract to tbo Hogers L/ocomotlvo works for ( en frclcbt locomotives for UBO on the main lliio. | f , ( Jcorpo H.

Dnuohy of Topckn , miporlntendent of maintenance and con tructlwi for the Hock Iftlnnd line * west of the Missouri , is In Omaha. A Denver paper * & ys the rcnfm the Colorado rado ntitl Utah roads do not Join the West ern Passenger association Is simply because that organization Is run In the Interest of a Chicago clique , nnd ban a hlgh-galarlcd offi cial who knows nil nlxmt the Chicago lines but docs not know the needs of a far wentorn road. The paper then makes a ppa ) f' r a Transml&Bourl PaBnenger association , with headquarters at Denver , overlooklnR the claims of the city at the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific ro d. The Innovation by the Baltmore & Ohio of running ordinary sleepers east of Chicago , In which accommodations OAII be had at one-half the price of standard sleepers , threatens to disorganize passenger business in the cast , The ordinary sleeper is nothing more than a tourist sleeper , nnd thcso cars have not been operated regularly cast of Chicago until tbo Baltimore & Ohio established the service. Scoond-class passengers may secure berths In these sleepers , which , while not so elab orate as the standard sleeper , furnish about ns much comfort. The innovation will un doubtedly be a drawing card for passenger business. COUNCIL TAKES AN OUTING City LtiTrnmUcru to Co to KntiNiin Cltr to Help Drillrntr H 111(7 Auditorium.

His friend , Oto Lcptlen of South Omaha , who made the report to the police , stated that ho is a young man of good habits. He had been In Omaha but once before , aud that was during the exposition. Lcptlen said that he did not know ho had gone until several days after his departure , when they found his stock wandering around the cornfields. TUo father of the young man lives nt Snyder , Neb. , about forty miles from Stan- ton. Ho has gone to West Point In search of Information while Lcptlen conducts an Investigation here.

The biggest Chinese raid lliat has ever occurred In Omaha was successfully exe cuted by a posse of deputy United States marshals under the direction of Special Agent Stone of the Treasury department yesterday. Between fifty and sixty Chinese wore rounded up by the officers within a couple of hours and the celestial who can not produce his naturalization papers Is In hard luck. The raid bad been contemplated by the revenue officials for some time. Inspector Sloao was In the city a couple of weeks ago nnd at that tlmo Marshal Tliummel was di rected to bo In readiness to do the work. Previous raids have failed on account of In formation leaking out This tlmo the mat ter was turned over to Deputy Pcarsnll with Instructions to sco that not a whisper of the Intended descent got outside of tlio ofllco The Instructions were obeyed to the lot/tcr and the raid was a complete surprise to the celes tials , who were wiablo to perform their usual feat of disappearing as though the earth had swallowed them up. The posse left the mar shal's olllco about 11 o'clock and during the next two hours the Chinamen were hustled In by the scoro. Deputy Marshals Henry Homau nnd James Allan went to South Omaha and Doputlcs 1'earsall , Nicholson nnd Hush , with Deputy Sheriffs Shnml and Strykcr rounded up the Omaha resorts. A number of the Ninth street resorts wcro first visited , but their Chinese cooks were able to show naturalization papers and were not disturbed. A couple of Chinks wcro secured at tbo Bon Ton restaurant and n number of others nt the laundries along Thirteenth street. A big addition was secured nt the Chinese stores on Dodge nnd Sixteenth streets nnd several reluctant celestials were cropped out at 2123 Cumlng street. The prisoners were all rounded up In the United States court room , wliero Inspector Stone , with United States Attorney Sum mers , Deputy Attorney Rush and Deputy Collector North of the Internal revenue de partment iput them In the sweat box one by one. Some of them wore able to pro- dttco naturalization papers , and the others contended that they had them somewhere , but that they had been unable to find thorn at such short notice. A few of th-em affected to consider the whole proceeding a huge joke , but they wore speedily undeceived. \onrly AH Have Credential * . The entire afternoon was spent In examin ing the suspects and finally the catch pe tered down to two lone pigtails , wuo were unable to give a satisfactory account of themselves. These were two of the fifteen men captured by Deputies Homan and Allan at South Omaha. One of them asserted tbat ho was born in this country , but had sub sequently returned to China on a visit. When ho came back 'he did not get papers because ho thought he was an American citizen by birth. The other had no excuse at all and both were bound ever by Com missioner Anderson. The facility with which the celestials dug up customs papers induces some of the gov ernment officials to believe that the local Chlncpo population has been flooded with these documents in anticipation of a raid after the close of the exposition. It Is ft favorite trick of the Chinks to float the papers around from ono town to another where they are liable to bp needed , and the general resemblance between various specimens of the race is so close tbat It Is difficult to detect tlio imposition. The cunning which the government of ficials fmcountcr In tbelr dealings with Ohlnamcn was Illustrated by an Incident that occurred during the raid. The plans of the officers were matured so secretly that no ouo except these directly concerned had the slightest Intimation that anything was on the carpet. Even > the customs officers did not know of it until the deputies came in with tbelr prisoners. But even then the shrewd Chinks almost succeeded in giving their South Omaha brethren the tip. Tlie deputies who went to South Omaha started thirty minutes ahead of the others and took the car directly to their destination. But the agents of the Chinese wcro evidently keeping a close watcli era the government building , for the Information that a raid was coming was convoyed to the South Omaha suspects within five minutes after the plltcers arrived at that city. It was Just that" much too late , as it happened , and the two Chinks who follow 4 the deputies to give the alarm wcro gathered In with tlio rest. Bendlx-Osborn. concert tonight.
