Llst evening's Omaha Bee says: "While the fast mail has been hav ing a pretty rocky time of it; trouble, it now appears, has ncl been on account of the inability of the Union Pacific to make the schedule time between Omaha and Ogden, but has come from a com bination of circumstances with which the Overland system has had but very little to do. The North western has been having some hard luck that has made it impossible to ! put the train into Omaha on time and there have been a number of causes for delay that could not have been ayoided. Bad weather, winds that' made it impossible for any train to do schedule dutyand a few untoward deals of that kind have operated against the fast mail, but in face of all these adverse circum stances the train, the heaviest run on any western road, has made the trip to Ogden on time nearly ever since the new schedule was in augurated. The Union Pacific has taken the fast mail from Omaha three hours late and touched Ogden within a few minutes of schedule time, and has made up from one to two hours quite frequently. The officials of the operating department assert that after the newness of the schedule has been worn off there will be no difficulty in making the trip with comparative ease on the ri A TT 3 swift schedule now in iorce. Under the new schedule the fast mail will leave Omaha at 3:30 in the after noon, five mirmtes earlier than att present, and will allow twenty min utes' leeway between Omaha and Cheyenne, but will pick up the twenty minutes between Cheyenne and Ogden and will arrive at the latter point at 2 a. m., but fifteen minutes later than the present schedule time. Secretary Hollingsworth sent to the managers of the Smith Sis ters to-day the balance of the S75 due on the guarantee for the con cert given last week. The Y. M. C.
