I'p ( lie .MilI n Court , The detail plans and drawings for the buildings on the main court of the exposi tion have now all been completed except the Government building and the Auditorium. The latter Is to bo erected In the cxtremu iouthc2slcrn corner of the main court , where It will be almost out of sight from the grand promenade so that Its exterior appcaiantc will not be material In the ensemble as seen from the banks of the lagoon. The last building to.bo completed Is tbe Liberal Arts , thu building which U to stand Immcdlitcly luet of Manufactures building and form n annex to the latter. This building was only determined on a short time ago und the plans for It have been rushed through tilth all possible speed. The drawings and upcclricatlona have been completed and bids for the erection will be opened Saturday of this week , The Liberal Arts building was designed by Fisher & Lawrlo of this city and the full working drawings were made by them. The complotrd plans show a building somewhat different In exterior appearance from the other buildings In the main court. It Is rectangular In form , being 2-lcrxlHO feel In elr.o. aud IB marked by the fact that , unlike the other buildings of the main court , It has no ccntrar'motlvo , but depends for effect upon the grouping of the corner pavilions. Thu general style of the building Is French renaissance. It presents the appearance of a rectangular mass , with the corners ac centuated by square pavilions with pedl- inenls , each pavilion being surmounted by a group of statuary. Thu general style of the front Is that of a low' stylobate sur mounted by a colonnade , the bright of both Icing about forty feet. The wall surfaces between the pavilions arc treated with double colonnades with windows between. The general treatment Is on broad lines wl'h largo wall surfaces rather than by dividing the design Into minor parts. The ornament Is French renaissance.

A dispatch from AYaHhlngton contains the Information that the secretary of the treas ury yesterday granted authority to the Meo I.co Wall Village company to bring Into this country 100 Chinamen to take part In the Chinese village at the TransmUalsslppI and International Exposition. This is the conces sion which has been represented In Omaha by Hong Sling the Chinese agent of the Union Pacific road. Sling secured the concession ( or a Chinese village at the exposition the village to Include a joss house , theater , res tnurant , b < t7aars , etc. CoiKildcrablo delay has been experienced l > y the fact that the secretary of the treas ury was not disposed to grant authority for bringing In Chinese artisans and art'uta lor the reason that the secretary had ac quired the Idea that the Imported Chinamen Bccmcd to melt after their arrival In this country and It was , therefore , Impossible to enforce the condition which provided for their deportation to their native country al the expiration of a stated period. The sec retary rcfiibed to grant the authority until the management of the exposition made the request that It bo done , und it Is probable that the exposition Is made responsible for the leiurn of the Celestials after the exposi tion. f The granting of this authority opens the way for the granting of like authority to AVong Chin Fee , the Chinese commissioner , who has also requested permission to bring Into this country artisans and mechanics fiom the north of China to take part In tin ; I Chlnitjc section In the Manufactures build ing. .

Gore commissioner for the exposition to Sweden , writes from Stockholm helm that he has been Investigating th ? matter of securing a Swedish exhibit and IP meeting with success. The plan nearest thu heart of the professor Is one contemplat ing the cccuiliu ; of a Swedish village , but ho sajh he llmls that the experience the Swedish people had with the World's fair people In this direction was not such as to warrant the belief that another attempt of that kind could be successfully mudo. Ho suggests , however , that If the Swedes of Omaha and vicinity would form an organiza tion and Invite the people now having ex hlblts at the Stockholm exposition which would bo appropriate for use In such con nection to come to Omaha with thrlr wares such effort would undoubtedly succeed. In this connection President Wattles makes the Miggcstlon that the organisation of Swedish citizens of Omaha who have al ready Incorporated for the purpose of taking part In the exposition should take this mat ter In hand and bring about the result hinted at by Prof. Gore. Referring to a general Swedish exhibit , I'rof.

APPLIES TO THE PACKING HOUSE PRODUCTS So\on Cctiift ICuooUcil OfT 1111 Kvory Iliinilrcil I'o u ii tin Slilpiifil til Cnrlniiil l.oti to TVXIIM PolnK , , i Following the reductions recently nn- nouticcil on shipments of merchandise from Iloston and common points to the west anil the later cuts In hard coal rates from Chicago cage to Missouri river points anil from here to all points In the state of Nebraska , conies the Important announcement that this week will see a considerable cut In freight rates on nil shipments of packkig house products from Omaha , South Omaha , Kansas City and St. Louis to Texas common points. A circular Just Issued by the Southwest ern Freight bureau announces that on Sep tember 24 , Friday of next week , there will be a horizontal cut of 7 cents per 100 pounds on shlpmccits of packing house products In carload lots. This reduction will make the rate from Omaha and South Omaha to Texas common points 04 cents Instead of 71 cents per 100 pounds. The rate from Kansas City and St. Louis to Texas common points will bo 5S cents Instead of 63 cents per 100 poucids. The usual differentials arc to apply In making rates from polnta In defined terri tories and to points In Texas taking higher than common point rates. The reduction In the rates on shipments of packing house products to Texas will be effective on all the roads from here to ( he south. The .Missouri Pacific , the Burlington and the Hock Island railroads all gave notice of the reduction to their South Omaha ship pers yesterday. The cut Is not altogether unexpected. Well posted freight men have expected that the rates on packing house products would bo knocked down a few cents for a coup'.o of weeks. It Is believed that the now rates when put In will be put In to stay. The freight men ay that there Is an enormous quantity ot lacking house products being shipped to the outh nowadays , and It Is believed the novement will continue heavy enough to ustlfy the low rates that were announced his morning. All the southern lines arc aid to have an abundance of business at iresont. The freight trafllc Is made espe cially large by shipments , of packing house products and of wheat for export.

The announcement that on September 21 all arlffs of through business between the Union acltlc and the Oregon Hallway & Navlga- ion company would bo cancelled , published n yesterday's press dispatches , was the subject of much comment In local railway circles here jcstcrday. According to a state- ncnt of a prominent olllclal of the Union 'aclHc , It means the absolute divorce of the ) rcgon Hallway & Navigation company from the old parent line , the Union Pacific. Information at the Union Pacific head quarters In this city Is to the effect that the cancellation of the through tariff rates will occur on September 23. instead of on September 21 , as pieviously announced. Offi cials of that line are rather reticent ID dis cussing the matter , and yesterday rc- 'used to state whether or not the necessarj : en days' notice had been filed with the In terstate Commerce commission. The heads of both the freight and the passenger dc- lartmeiits , as well as General Manager Dick inson , are In the east at present and the ( subordinate ottlcerB arq wary of being In terviewed upon the delicate matter. One Union Pacific ofllclal ye&terday , however vouchsafed the Information that the. Oregon Short Line was the railroad that would suiter most by the cancellation of through rat'es. For several months there has been a dis pute between the Union Pacific and the two Independent lines that formerly belonged to the system , but that are now free to make and break rates as they please. Genera Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pa cific tried to force a settlement of the ques tion of the division of passenger rates aul because he could not he withdrew from the Western Passenger association. The Oregon gen Hallway & Navigation company has long had a good thing out of the business to Port land and Intermcdlatu points on Us lUc com.ng from the Oregon Short Line and the Union Pacific. It has received 2SVi per cent of the price of every ticket sold by the Union Pacific to any point on Its line , no matter whether that point was Portland or whether It was the first station west o Huntlngton , Ore. , the eastern terminus o the Oregon Hallway & Navigation company On a $40 ticket , from here to Portland , th's division netted the Oregon Hallway & Navl gallon company Just $11.40. QUITS TUB OREGON LINE. The effect of the cancellation of all througl tariffs of the Union Pacific and the Oregoi Hallway & Navigation company means tha the Union Pacific will no longer have the short line to Portland and other points or the northern Pacific cojst. The Union Pa ciflo will continue to accept business for points on the Oregon Short Line , but wll accept none for points on the Oregon Hall way & Navigation company's Ilncu. Rates to points on the latter line via the Union Pacific would be made up by adding tosethe the oum of the local rates , and that wouli piovo somewhat too expensive a luxury fo either fieight or passenger traffic to bu a all useful. The Union Pacific will route al Its freight and passenger business to Port land and northern Pacific coast points via Sacramento. It has practically done thl over since Its break with the Oregon Shor Line , but now thu shipments of freight am routing of pnsEonscrs to Portland via Sacra memo ulll ho a necessity with the Unioi Pacific , as It has no through rates over the Oregon Hallway & Navigation company * lines. Prior to this time the use of the Shasta route from Sacramento north to Port land has been entirely optional. Whether the Union Pacific ran forci freight and paisc'iiKer tranic via ( he"Shasta Itoutc , " which Is several hundred miles longer than Its old lino. Is an open question A prominent fcblpper of Portland , who was In Omaha not Inng ago , at that time answered a query of a IJeo reporter on this matter as followB : "Tim people In Port land like the Union Pacific. They like Mr Dlck'lnson and Mr. Munroe ; they liavo al ways treated us white , and our people wouli do almost anything for them. Hut when I cornea to receiving our business over the Southern Pacific , another phase la put 01 the matter. Tiio people In Portland ardently hate the Southern Pacific , and they will node do anything to help It , and I'm afraid If the Union Pacific endeavors to force the use o the Southern Pacific In and out of Port land It will get left. " The effect of ( ho cancellation of the through tariffs of the Union Pacific by Itu time-honored line to Portland Is to cause great Joy among western lines. The Hock Island and the Hurllngton In. 1st that they will now bo able to handle the bulk of the btiElncsi. from Chicago to Portland , tending It via the Hlo Grande lines and the Oregoi Short Line. The Hurllngton also now claims the shortest line from Omaha to Portland via the Nortlicin Pacific , with which It con nects at Hillings , Mont , Kitten for tlic Sliilc Piilr. The 11. & M and the Elkhorn railroad yesjorday extended the one-fare rate- for th round trip to the Nebratka state fal in thin city to their stations li South Dakota. The tickets will bo sol on September 20 and 21 , and they will be good for return until September 25. A similar rate has previously heen announce ! for all points In Nebraeki and In Iowa wlthli 100 miles of Omaha. Thl is the firat time o > i record that the rates to a Nebraska fair liavo been extended Into South Dakota , am It li believed that a number of visitors fron Hut state will be attracted b > the blaza o glory that Is to welcome King AK-Sar-IIen III.

There Is every probability that another crlos of cheap rates'from Omaha to Chicago will soon bo announced. They have not yet eon ordered by Ulllef Halo Promulgator Caldwcll of the Western Passenger assocla- lon , but they are very likely to be within he course of a few days. The rate from ere to the World's fair city Is $12.75 , nnd t Is likely to be cut down to $10 , or less , n Tuesdays and Thursdays for a month or noro. One Omaha-Chicago line yesterday vlred Chicago , asking permission to an- ounce such a rate. If the rate Is made ft will bo because the Omaha-St. Louis lines are selling one-way Ickets from hero to that city for $9 10 every Tuesday and Thursday during the contlmi- nce of the St. Louis exposition. To offset he movement to St ! Louis , naturally at- ractcd by this reduction , the Omaha-Chicago Ines are anxious to offer similar Inducements o travel to the < blg city of Illinois. I'liNNriiKcr Affair * llnilly Mixed. CHICAGO , Sept. 13. Passenger affairs In ho territory of'tho Western Passenger as- sedation and thH of the Transcontinental 'asscugcr atsoclatlon are steadily growing vorse. The latest phase of the situation Is hat the Great Northern and the Northern \iclllc have announced that they will apply n all California business the $5 rate of com- nlsslon which was Inaugurated by the Union aclfic to all north Pacific coast points and vhlch the other lines have been paying for omo time. This rate of commission was tarted by the Union Pacific after It had lost U control of the Oregon Short Line and all he other roads were compelled to trail In o protect their Interests. The result has > cen that the rate of commission has been tscd to cut the rates and the situation on ho north Pacific coast has been badly de porallzcd for some time. Now It Is expeclcd hat the trouble will extend to all the points n California which are leached by the two lorthcrn lines and by the Union Pacific ns veil.

The New York antl-scalplng law requires that every ticket agent have a certiflcato from each line for which ue sells tickets.

They are : Carl llruocr , llvlnR near Seventeenth and Charles Directs ; Oeorse llarkhart , 2510 Cans street , and George I'rlro , who resides on Seventeenth Btrcet between Nicholas and 1'aul. All three nro younc In years , but have been known to the police as members of the well- .knoun Nicholas Street Can Rushers' asso ciation. The ten men who were robbed were gath ered In n rear room In the saloon and were : 1'hllllp Smith , a smeltiiiK works employe ; Dell Evans , n railroad man ; M. J. Cuff ami .Martin Mulvlhlll , firemen ; I'at Cuff , Swltch- mrn Hyrne , Lea Klmball , driver for an Ice company ; Thoirfas McDcrmott , Jack Good- fellow , ore of Qulnn's bartenders , and a driver for the American Express company , whose name has not yet been secured. The oxprcsa company driver , Goodfollow and Evans were robbed. The former lost about $4 , Goodfollow was robbed of $93 and Evans of $ G.EO. The men , with the exception of McDcr- mott , , wore talking In the room when the doorCdvaM suddenly opened and two men , earn with a revolver In his hand , entered. They wore respectively a red nnd white handkerchief over the lower portion of their faces. Another man with a blue handker chief appeared nt a rear window and leveled a lovolver at the men within. "Hold up your hands , " commanded our of the masked men with a volley of epi thets. A couple of the men In the room de- , murrcd , but when they glanced around and saw that all their companions had thrown their arms cityward , they gracefully accepted the Inevitable end didlikewise Then the nine men were placed In HUP , the man at the window guarding one ead and another of the robbers guarding the other. The third of the highwaymen then proceeded alrcig the line , tapped each man's pocket and If he found evidenced of money searched him and secured his wealth. AUUESTED AS SUSPECTS , Just as the job was completed McDermott went to the rear door. The toughs turned UDon him and two of them presented le- volvcrs to his held , while the third grabbed for his watch and chain. McDermott grafted the weapon of the nearest man and a st'uggle ensued. In the scuffle McDcrmott'H wrist was sprained and one of nla palms was cut. The robber hroko away from hh grasp and all three disappeared northward In the alley In the rear of the saloon. The lob was done so quickly that none of the victims recovered from thel- surprise In time to give the alarm until the robbers dis appeared. Then the proprietor of the saloon Onlnn. who was on the front sidewalk , not half a block away , was notified. A police man , who had been In front of the place only ten minutes before , was hunted up and told of the occurrence. Nothing was done Sun day night to apprehend the robbers. Yesterday George Price entered Qulnn's saloon and made some Inquiries atom the robbery. IJartcnder Goodlejlow , who was In the place , at once recognbed him as one of the robbers and so Informed the police. Pri-e was arrested. Hruner was located In the saloon across the street and was a-restcd on a description given of one of the trio. Barkhart was named as the third of the oartv and was later nrrcsi'd. All three of the prisoners have been In Jail before. They have loafed about the corner or Sixteenth and Nicholas streets fo years past , being members of the gang thr.t -nfesl.s. ( list corner. In the past the effort : ; of this gang have been directed toward raie- ! ni ; the nrlce of cans of bcor and thch offenses have been no more serious than to heM up p.ifsersby for the necosa"y money. In some cases where the selected victims Have refused to donate they have been as saulted and beaten by the gang. Harklnrt . 'ava he was near Qulnn's saloon Sunday nl ht , but the others deny having been there. The police consider Price's In quiries at the ualoon yesterday regarding the robberv were 'made ' for the purpose of dls- armlne anv suspicion that might bo diivcte-J to himself. H IR nalri Hist all three of the iwlsoners c-in be Identified by some of tliolr victims , despite the fact that a goodly portion of the latter were thoroughly frightened during the off air. IDENTIFYING TWO MEN. The police figure they have a sure case of highway robbery against George Price and Carl Ilruner , the two men now under ar rest for the holdup which occurred at Ed Qulnn's saloon Sunday night. The state- mcntM of Goodfellow , Qulnn's barkeeper , and others who were victims of the thugs , were conflicting upon the evening In question. Yesterday afternoon , however , when con fronted with the prisoners In the captain's ofllce at police headquarters , they positively Identified Price and Urucior. Although the men wore masks Good fel low swore that ho could recognize their voices and also their general personal char acteristics. They were not so sure as to the Identity of George Hurkhard. On his own behalf Hurklianl swore that he waft with the men upon the night the holdup occurred , but that he left them shortly before 9 o'clock and wont homo. Upon closely questlon'ng Qulnn , who seemed loth to give up any In formation , duo to the fact that the hoMui had occurred In his saloon on Sunday night , It was developed that ho had teen both Price and Druncr in his place the Satur day night previous. He stated that Ilriuer had bought a cigar shortly before closing time Saturday night , and had been present when ho counted the receipts of the day. Upon completing th's ' work Qulnn said he took a revolver which lay bcsldn the cash register and put It In hl pocket. He Is of opinion that the robbers Intended holdIng - Ing him up Saturday night , but postponed the matter until such time as they could catch him unarmed. As Durkhard's ( statements to the police appeared to he truthful , he xvas discharged from custody last evening. There Is no rea son for thinking he was In any way con nected with the affair. .11 It.
