St. John of the Chicago , Hock Island & Pacific has resigned. Ho re ceived word this afternoon that he had been elected vice president of the Seaboard Air Line , a rather obscure road which runs bo- twcen Norfolk , Vn. , and Atlanta , Ga. , anil Immediately accepted and severed his con nection with the- Rock Island. This change will no doubt cause consld- eiyjblo comment among railroad men , Inas much as St. John was ono of the oldest em ployes of the Rock lt > land road , having worked his way up from the position of sta tion agent , through all the Intermediate ofllces , until ho was made general manager , but among Rock Island officials the resigna tion of Mr. St. John was no surprise , In fact It has been anticipated for several months. It Is reported on good authority that St. John was requested to take the action he dd. | When the strikes broke out last sum mer ho was active in the organization of the General Managers' association and was made Its president. Ills aggressiveness In this direction BO enraged Debs and his followers that they centralized thtlr efforts against the Rock Island road. As a consequence the Rock Island was ono of the heaviest , If not the heaviest , losers among western roads by the strikes. This angered President Cable nnd other high officials , and It was decided that St. John must go. He was requested to ; resign and some months ago Mr. St. John began looking for another position. Ills ejection to the vice presidency of ths Sea board Air Line today > vas accordingly 1m- nlcdlatoly followed by his resignation ns general manager of the Rock Island. WHY THIY siioui.t ) in : TlmnU slvliiC Coming Jnit In 1 line for n .Nuinhrr of llitllni.Kl Man. Railroad officials feel that they have- little to be thankful for this year , if they are to bs Judged by expresilcna Inadvertently made during the past week , except that they are ajlvo and have Jobs. But there are some things that even railroad men forget In castIng - Ing up the balance sheets for the year ; things which have bsen Intimately associated with their lives during the past twelve nionths , and The Bso suggests that over the walnuts and the wine today they give thanks tof bbsslncs which have been very much In evidence , but which are seemingly Ignored by the faithful. General Passenger Agent Buchanan of the IJIkhorn can , with much feeling , devote a Bsctlou of his blessing today , as the steaming soup Is before him. to the thought that the existence * of the Western Passenger assocla- titm made It possible for him to sit upon numerous boards of arbitration at $25 per dally sit anil actual expenses added , Edward Lloyd Lamax , general passenger and ticket agent of the Union Pacific , wh2ther ho tike turkey at hcmo or at the Auditorium In Chicago , can afford to b3 profoundly grate ful that the long-standing difference between the Oregon Railway and Navigation company and the Union Pacific have finally been ail- Jdsted and that his long con'.lnueG absence from home Is not without some reward. XJeneral Passenger Agent Francis cf the Darlington will have a perfect right to cele brate the day and rcjolco that lils line hai transcontinental trimmings since October 15 , and that he will hereafter ba permitted to cil with the great1 ones of earth and listen to tfialr words of wisdom. Incidentally , too , lie H\ny be thankful that the crop of hot tomales shows no signs of being cornered. President Silas Henry Harrison Clark of the Union I'aclllc may net bo thankful that ho Is ono of the receivers of the Overland , but It' la known he Is supremely happy over hav ing caught a six-pound trout In the Powder rjvcr , worthy disciple or the gentle character Who fished on the River Dover. General Manager HoldrcRe has cause to be tfiankful over ths complete knockout admin istered to the maximum rate bill by Justice Utewer , and , Incidentally , that the piss agreement will Interfere * erioiisly with some oj the men who were lukewarm In the sup- pprt of Majors. 'George Washington West , he of the NorthWestern - Western , and very much like Ida Illustrious namesake , will be English Protestant Episco palian enough to Join feelingly In tli3 ordinal that alludes to the "craation , the preservatlor and all the blessings of this life , " not forget- tfng that he was not cinched this year by tfic "low Joints , " . Martin J.

CHICAGO , Nov. 28. Referring to the Al lantlc & Pacific Railroad Construction corr panl deal. Congressman Chlldi said today : ' was , asked by a. constituent If 1 would Intrt duce such a bill , and I Informed the ind vldual that I would If requested. I have nc yet seen the bill and do pot really kno whether It would bo given to mo to prcsen Such a proposition , If proprly circumscribe Hnd bound down , might be d ! great benef to the people and the government , the Utti by greatly facilitating Us operations , tli movement of malls and Its troopi. The nous of representatives Is , of all plac-a. the or from jvhlcu the people could be advised there was merit In a proposition such us th cfcmpan/ would make , and perhaps the ma ter tuny bo brought to the people's attentloi though I da not think that the time U rl ] for this sort of thing In congress , " I'rm'iinril ' "I hry ' > ri lr sjlury It Is pretty generally understood th : Judge Santorn , before ho left on his trip I the Pacific coast , made an order fixing it amount which the receivers of the Union l'i clflo might draw monthly , pending the tin ; settlement of the cue In II United States court. This amount It Is thought Is $1,000 a month , although the receivers In the Union Pacific cases peti tioned the court to allow them each $18.000 per year , on the ground that the trust was BO vast and the Interests so enormous that It would require their entire attention , and that their private business would suffer to that extent. There Is a well founded rumot that the receivers have drawn their allot * mcntH for November , but nothing of a definite nature could bo learned at headquarters , the people connected with the department ! being 09 dumb as oysters. I'LAN OK KIIOKIIANIMATION. Proposed Siiceminr of tin Wc tor : P.twon- qpr Amoclutlim. CHICAGO , Nov. 28. Chairman Caldwcll of the Western Passenger association tsiidered his resignation today. It was accepted and the Western Passenger association has passed out of existence. When the meeting con vened this morning Chairman Caldwell said If the lines wlbhcd to form another associa tion they would bereo to choose such a chairman ns they desired. A resolution de claring the Western Passenger association out of oxlstenco was Introduced and adopted , With the understanding that the Emigrant Clearing house shall remain Intact. Chair man Caldwell will bo retained , with his prin cipal assistants , for the purpose of miuag- Ing the clearing house until association affairs are In a more definite shape than at present. For the purpose of providing for the expenses of the clearing house all the roads present at the meeting pledged thcm- Bdvcs to contribute ) pro rata. The roads so voting Included several which have not of late been members of the Western Passenger association , and their total number was greater than the total ever In the association nt one tbno. The report of .the csmmlttec on reorganization was read and recom mended tlut nil the territory of the old Western Passenger and that properly under the old Transcontinental association should bo Included In one general association , the territory to begin at Galveston , continuing to Nov Orleans , and thence north along the Mississippi river to St. Leu Is , thence along the tracks of the Illinois Central and Vandalla to Chicago , thence through the western peninsula of Michigan to St. Ignace nnd Sault Sto. Marie , and Irom there west to the Pacific ocean. It was recommended this territory be placed under the Jurisdiction of five terri torial committees , to have , their headquarters as follows : The Pacific at San Francisco , th ? central at Denver , the southern at St. Louis. , the eastern at Chicago and the north ern at St. Paul. Each of these committees are to have Jurisdiction of all matters In Its own territory , and all matters of general In terest to be referred to the general associa tion , which will have Its headquarters In tills rlty. No definite action was taken on the report , It being only discussed Inform ally. The general feeling , however , was strongly in favor of adopting the plan pro posed by the committee. After the discussion the general meeting adjourned to Saturday morning , In ordsr to allow the transconti nental lines to meet on Friday and see If they cannot arrange to do away with the demoralization la Pacific coast rates , and thus pave the way for an agreement of all the lines on the day following or on Monday. Thei earnings of the Atchlson system for the third week In November were $892,2-10 , a decrease of $81,474 compared with the same week last year. The earnings for the month to dat ? were $2.609,740 , a decrease rom the same period of last year of $230,522. Jim Wulllni ; to St > f * . General Passenger Agent Francis ot tha 3urllnston , when asked when the Omaha ates would bo equalized to correspond to the vansas City-Chicago rates , aatd that he was ivaltlns to see what action would bo taken iy the roads now Interested In the formation f a new transcontinental association. He thought something definite would result .vlthln . a day or two. "We arc nol Inclined o reduce rates , because we have Instances low how hard It Is to get them back when nee reduced. The normal Denver rate for early a year has been demoralized on ac- louut of the scalp from Utah common points nd with this blaring us In the face It Is jotural wo should go slow Of course.If , tlie Kansas City-Chicago rate of JO.GO continues he same rate will undoubtedly be applied to Omaha.

M. C. A. park this afternoon ever played In the west. It Is the state of Ne braska against the state of Iowa , as represented by their 'varsity elevens , and as the most Intense rivalry lias always ex isted between these two Institutions a battle royal may be sangulnely expected. The rail roads centering here will all run special rate trains and a tremendous crowd will certainly bo on hand , weather or no weathor. Lincoln nlono will send up a crowd of COO , principally students , nnd all the college boys from ad joining cities will be on hand In force. Doth teams have been working Incessantly for weeks past ot.d may be expected to bo In the ( Incut possible condition. It Is one of the closing games of the West ern Collegiate association , the other bolng played nt Kansas City between Kansas and Missouri. Many things depend on the game. Iowa and Nebraska at present nro tied In ths standing , ench having lost a game to Mis-- sourl and won a game from Kansas. Kansas expects to defeat Missouri this aiternoon. If this happens the victors of the Omaha game will bo tied for the championship , with a chance to win the pennant , which Isorth something. Moreover , there Is an old score to settle between Iowa , and Nebraska. In three years each team has do'.oated the other onca , and ono game Is a tie. Today's contest will , therefore , decldo who stole the boots. NEBRASKA'S TEAM IN GOOD SHAPE. Since Its victorious trip to Kansas the Nebraska team has worked hard to perfect Its play for today's game. It Is now In prob ably Its strongest condition. Hammung , the new man at center , has held his own so far agalnfct the veterans ho has met In oppos- ng teams , nnd Is considered safe. Wilson , eft , and Jones , right guard , are both big , msky fellows , well qualified for their posl- lens , although Wilson Is a little slow In setting Into the play at times. Dern , cap- nln and right tackle. Is a veteran , and with Jury , an Omaha boy , also a veteran , at left ackle , the support of this position Is assured. Slum Is down for right end , but It Is highly probable that he will be supplanted by Wlg- ; lns. Sliuo was hurt In the game with MIs- ourl , and has not fully recovered. Wlilpple , another Omaha boy , Is down for left end. lo Is very heavy for the place , properly be- onglng at tackle , but he Is quick and gets iround well. Ilehlnd the line Spooner , the Council Uluffs boy , Is at quarter. It Is his Irst season on the team , but he has been lolng excellent work , and Is considered rella- > Ie. Yont , at right half , and Fllppen , at eft , are standbys. Their work on the earn In the past hns gained them a name outside of the state. Both arc In flne orni , although Yont Is not showing up so veil as could bo wished In tackling the line , le Is a little slow and sometimes misses" the lole. Fair , who plays full back , Is big and strong nnd very swift , but does not punt veil. He bucks well and hlsrblocking around lie end and catching arc good. In ono point lie Nebraska backs are weak. They are all prone to fumble. This has1 cost Nebraski every game she lias loft this season , and on t rests Iowa's only hope. Nebraska's ' backers ure afraid of the fluke. It may not come. > * HOPE OP TUG HAWKEVES. Iowa will be represented by a team that vas pronounced In Chicago to be one of the test that ever lined up In that city. It has rclght , skill and experience , and has been coached energetically and conscientiously by logor Sherman. Its great point Is line nicking and end runs , Herrlg , the cham pion western sprinter , being dependsd on to show his ten and two-fifths gait several times during the game. Full personal descriptions of the members of both team ? have hitherto been published n The Bee. Last night the Iowa team reached th& city , accompanied by a delegation of partisans , iiul took up Its quarters at the Dellono. 'owa men are pioud of the team , and there will bo a good reprsontatlon of Hawkeyos at the grounds today.
