Thn proximity of tlio foicclosuro of tlio first nnil second mortKUgea of the Union Pacific railway calls forth much animated discus sion lu local railway circles nowadays about tlio future inanaKomcnt nnil control of the Bjstom. Nothing o > flnlto Is known here con cerning the future of the "Overland Iloute. " llecausu of the long continued absence of President Clark , General Manager Dickinson anil other olllelals of the system oven the conjectures 33 to the maiMRemcnt of the roadi after the reoiganlzatlon shall have been accomplished are taken with several grains of salt by the attaches at the local head quarters. Them la a widespread belief that the re organization committee will purchase the railroad. The piesencc of three man on the iSommlltee , thought to be controlled by the Vamlorbllt interests , is regarded as .in Indi cation of the ownership should the reor- BunUnilon committee got thu property at tlio approach Iw ; hale. Within tlio last few days , liowovpr , rumors of the puri'haBo of the rail way by an English syndicate have been rlfiIly some UIOM rumom are explained by the fact that much English capital IK repre sented by the loorganlzatlon committee. A prominent railroader hero this morning vouchsafed another explanation of thu stories of ISiiBllsh ownership. He said : "Tho press dlspatchoD utiuo that the attorney gen eral admits that ho has received queries from the other side about the con ditions of purchase. That confirms an opinion I have long held. The gro'it part of the ponds of the Contra ! Paclllc are owned by Englishmen. The road Is con trolled by Iluiitlngton because the Central Pacific Is leased and operated by the South ern Puclflc. It would not surprise me at all It the owners of the Central Pacific should put in a bid for the Union Pacific at the sale next month. Whether they could outbid the leorganlzatlon committee is an other matter. Hut if they did get the road the > would then own the greatest trans continental railroad in the country , extend ing across the country in an almost straight Hue from Council IJluffs to within fifty miles of San Francisco. " KIGUKING ON A PRESIDENT. It is generally believed , however , that the reorganisation committee will get the Union I'ajiflc at the tale. Some well posted railroaders readers Biy that this committee will bo the only bidder for the property. The question that now bothers the railroad world , and especially that part of It that Is attached to the Union Pacific system hero , Is concern ing the presidency of the road should the reorganization committee get possession of the property. There are three men whose names are frequently mentioned In connec tion with the position : S. H. H. Clark , Oliver W. Mlnlt and Kdwln W. Winter. Two mouths ago , when the health of President Clark appeared to ba seriously bad , all in dications pointed toward another man for the ptcsldency , but the best posted railroad men In Omaha today [ Irmly bellovo that the new president will be the man who has been at the head of the road during Ha four years' re"elvcrslilp. Tlio friends of llr. Clark here stoutly maintain that IIP can have the presidency under the reorganization If ho wants It , and they bellevn that the only question Is whether his health will permit Ills acceptance of such n tiemendous undertaking as the re organization of the Union Paclllc. Lately his health has shown great Improvement , find the low officials at the local headquarters tay that Mr. Clnrk will surely ho the man. This view may bo construed as a thought that Is fathered by a wish. Should Mr. Clark remain at the head of the road It is certain that there will ho no great changes among the officials. Should Winter come into power It Is admitted that a number of heads are likely to bo dropped Into the basket. Oliver W. Mink has been the most active of the receivers for aomo time past and has eomo to the front during Clark's enforced withdrawal fiom active participation In the nffalrs of , the Union Paclllc.

Ho is a close friend of General Manager Dickinson , General So licitor Kelly and the general manager's right bower , E. E. Buckingham. It is the opinion of some that Mink will bo president , llvu In Uoston and look after the finances of the road , while General Manager Dickinson will operate the road , as he has practically done for some time past. REGARDING Mil. WINTER. Edwin W. Winter was formerly general manager of the Omaha road , but left the Vandeibllt Interests to take the higher sal aried , but less independent position of pres ident of the Northern Pacific. He resigned that position and gave up Its $40,000 salary a short time ago ostensibly to travel In Europe. He is a man of largo means and could easily afford ! to retire. It Is said that ho was offered the position of president of the Wisconsin Central , which will soon emerge from receivership. A prominent railroad mam of St. Paul , who is well acquainted with Winter there , re cently said to a Bee reporter : "There is a gcod deal of talk about Winter's election to the presidency of the Union Pacific should the reorganization committee got possession of the road. I know nothing about the matter , but I don't eeo why ho should want It. He Just gave up a ? 40,000 job and I know ho wants to travel. It's pretty cer tain that the Union Pacific will not pay any thing like $40,000 a year salary. Moreover , the Northern Pacific Is a much bigger rail road than the Union Pacific. It extends from St. Paul to the Pacific coast , while the Union Pacific Is only about half as large. Ho would make a great president for the Union Pacific , but I don't bellovo he can be secured. " On the other hand a man very familiar with the Inner workings of Union Pacific affairs less than tun months ago made a bet of $100 to ? 60 that Winter would bo piesl- dent of the Union Pacific when the road was reorganized. Should Winter como It is eatd ho would displace many of the present officials wltn men from some of the Van- dcrbllt linen. The feeling nmong officials of other lines Is favorable to Winter. A Burlington official said this morning : "Winter would bo a good Bclectlon , Ho would bo hero and would run the road him self. It's pretty tiresome to hoar whenever anything Important cornea up that Mr , Clark Is away and matters will have to wait for his return. He has been in poor health for a long tlmo and whenever an emergency has arisen ho lias always gone to pieces. Winter would run the road hlnifcelf. " Tlin VIADUCT MATTI3II.

It Is not likely that any action will be taken In regard to the repairs of the Six teenth htrcet viaduct until after City Engi neer llosewater returns from Nashville. It has not been decided whether the work shall be done toy contract or under the direction of the Uoaid of Public Works , The railroads that must pay for the woik will probably bo allowed to have something to bay on that point. There Is some disposition to criticise the action of the council In refusing to order the Omaha Street Railway company to run Its trains aiound by Thirteenth ( street after the engineers have agreed that the viaduct Is unsafe for heavily loaded motor trains. The action of the council Is said to 1m o been largely Influenced by the protests of South Sixteenth street property owners , uho con tend that If the street railway traffic U turned to Thirteenth street their busliicsi will suffer. It Is itated , however , that the Omaha Street Railway company will run Its trains over Thirteenth street of Its own voli tion as soon as It begins the reconstruc tion of Its tracks on.

Yesterday was the second day of the first homescckcrs' excursion to the west this month , and all the railroads from the cant are doing a big business. Most of the bomcseck- ers are from eastern Iowa , Illinois and In diana. Over COO passengers on those cheap tickets passed through Omaha yesterday morning , bound mostly for points In Ne- araaka. The Milwaukee , the Northwestern and the Rock Island trains from the east were all well filled. The Burlington had such a big amount of travel that It had to run its train In two sections , the first going west at 9:35 : o'clock with twelve ears , and the seconil at 10 o'clock with six cars , all filled. Two extra cars were added to the Union Pacific "Overland Limited" train. Sturt for XiiHlivllIc. There was n special Pullman sleeper at tached to yesterday afternoon's express to St. Louis over the Missouri Pacific. It was for the Nebraskans who are going to Nash ville to help celebrate Nebraska day there. The only persona who went from Omaha were President Gurdon W. Wattles of the Transmlsslsslppt Exposition and Mrs. Wat tles , and Mr. and Sirs. Walter Molse. The Omahans were joined at Nebraska City by Governor Silas A.

President Blngham slaled'that the viaduct stood the strain during Stale fair week and ho does not undoratarrrt-Trhy It should not now. I presume he tales' Ml that a steady and vigorous strain strengthens It. I am of the opinion that the council , In the face of reports made by experts Is monkeying with a buzz saw , and the taxpayers may be called upon to hold the sack , and the Lord knows they have been holding sacks long enough. I venture to say that the fear of that struc * turo by residents of South Omaha costs this city and the street ralluny thousandu of del lars.

It seems that a majority of the property owners In the permanent dis trict desire sidewalks of vitrified brick and luo supply was soon exhausted. A carload or two have been ordered and as soon as they arrive the remaining plank sidewalks will be torn up and brick substituted. lAs regards the creating of a permanent sidewalk district on the south side of Q street from the viaduct west to Thirty-third btreet , It IB understood that the matter will be dropped. An ordinance declaring the Eouth side of the street a permanent side walk district was read the Jlrst time borne weeks ago and referred to the Judiciary com mittee. Property owners over that way pro tested and asserted that as only about one- third of the lots in the proposed district had been graded It would bo a hardship to be compelled to lay permanent walks. For this reason the committee , It 'Is understood , has decided to let the matter drop. Krrnr In ( he II IN. Attorney Van Dusen , representing the pur chasers of the new funding bonds , dlscoveied an error In the ordinance yesterday after noon , and the engravers who were at work on the bonds have been ordered to stop until a conoctlon Is made.

The ordinance will have to bo passed again at a regular meeting and published accord- 'Ing ' to law for the third time.
