The report that Russell Sago had formed a
syndicate to bid on the Union Pacific railway
property at the forthcoming foreclosure
sale , set afloat by the New York World ,
created Home consternation In local railway
circles yesterday. The excitement lasted
only until communication was had with the
Now York office of the UnJon Pacific , when
It was Itarned that the reorganization com
mittee took no stock whatever In the report.
That rather put n quietus on the agitation.
While neither President Clark nor General
Manager Dickinson , nor any of the five re-
ccUcra are here , theru are subordinate
officials who arc quite as familiar with the
proceedings leading up to the foreclosure
"sale of the great railroad. Yesterday the
general sentiment among these men la that
there will bo no Russell Sage syndicate rep
resented at the sale here next month to bid
on the property. When they are to bo
quoted these men content themselves with
the simple statement : "We know nothing
about the matter here. " When not speak
ing for publication , however , they admit
that they take no stock In the reported
entry of Sago among the bidders.
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
It Is pointed out that the report states that
nussoll Sage's syndicate Is to pay the full
claim of the government. As this amounts
to abi ut $71,000,000 and as the uptet price ,
which will be bid by the reorganization com
mittee , Is only $50,600,000. It will be Keen
that the Sage plan Is to ralso the bid by
$20,000.000. Now It Is not generally believed
that Russell Sage has suddenly become
Imbued with a pattlotlc spirit that would
gladly contribute $20.000.000 Into the govern
ment exchequer. When he could undoubt
edly purchase the government claim for
$10,000,000 more than the upset price It Is
not thought likely that he would jump in
nnd offer $20,000.000 above that amount. He
Is not looked upon as the kind of a financier
Who would tosj off a cool $10,000,000 to the
government In that fashion ,
A Union Pacific representative yester
day sfld "Thla report Is undoubtedly an
other scheme for bringing about a dcUy In
the forcclcmiro proceedings. The enemies
of the Union Pacific have striven very hard
to Interrupt the proceedings , evidently desir
ing to Fccuro the postponement of the sale
until another cession of congress. Several
frantic attempts have been made to Interfere
with the foreclosure sale , but so far without
success , It Is noticeable that the report of
this syndicate Is first published by the same
nowspipor that last week attacked tlio fore
closure proceedings and the McKlnlcy ad
ministration for sanctioning them. As the
master has repeatedly announced , the sale
Is an open one , and any one may come to
bid , providing the necessary deposit Is made
flvo days before the sale. Mr. Sago miy
bid it : lit propertj , but It Is hardly likely. "
Ycaterday after reading the report or
the formation of the Sage syndicate T lomaa
JI. Orr , sls ant secretary of the Un'lo.i
Pacific's executive department here , called
up G. G , Boardman , assistant secretary of
the same department In New York City. The
two held a conversation about the matter
over the long distance telephone. Just what
was slid la not known , but after ho had
rung off from the New York office Mr. Orr
stated that the officers there did not look
upon the matter at all seriously , although
they had all read the statement In yester
day's Issue of the Now York World.

NEW YORK. Oct. 22. Russell Sago makct
emphatic and specific denial today of the re
port that he Is at the head of an opposition.
pool to buy In the Union Pacific. "The re
port Is absolutely without foundation , " said
Mr. Sage. " 1 have not been invited to form
a Union Paclfiu syndicate by President Mc-
Klnley. No subscription to the amount of
$75,000,000 or any other sum has been made
up that 1 know of. I have not subscribed
niuy. I am not going to Washington. I have
not been Invited by the president but I have
been asked to go there by important outside
Interests , There Is some such feeling among
certain outside interests. It may bo that
aorno concerted aqtlon will bo taken to post
pone the sale of the Union Pacific property
until all the facts are thoroughly under
stood. "
It has been Intimated in some quarters that
the National Park bank here subscribed to
the Sago syndicate. The rumor was dcnlcJ
today by the cashier of the bank. R. T.
Wilson & Co. , bankers of Wall street , who
were mentioned In the same connection , also
deny having any part In the alleged syndi
cate.
cate."Tl'cre
"Tl'cre Is nothing uncertain about my at
titude In this Union Pacific affair , " Mr.
EOjge said : "I think It Is duo to people of
this country that the government should get
a fair return for what It gave the Union
Pacific and If It shall appear later that

General Samuel M. Thomas , who was men
tioned as a member ot the Sago syndicate ,
liad this to say : "I am not responsible for
the ctory that an opposition syndicate has
been formed for the purpose of purchasing
th3 Union Pacific roail at foreclosure sale.
I do not d ubt , howuvcr. that such a syndi

"What Is my opinion ? Well , I think each
line had to concede something to the other
line. I believe the Pcttlcmont of this dif
ficulty Is going to do away with a great deal
of the competition for Portland business
among the Union Pacific , the Uurllnglon and
the Reck Island. The new arrangement
specifics that the Union Pacific's business to
Portland shall be via Granger , thus cutting
out the trip to Salt "Lake City. Now , In my
opinion , this will result In the travel of the
commercial men , business men who arc In
a hurry and others who want to muku fast
time , via the Union Pacific through Granger.
Thcso classes do not care anything about
scenery ; all they want Is fast time. On the
other hand , the Hurllngton and the Rock Is
land will have the call for the travel of the
tourist class , the pcoph who arc traveling
ever the country to see the scenery. Both ot
thcso lines connect with the lines through
Colorado nnd Utah that excel In scenery , and
tluy will make that their strong card. The
fight between the Union Pacific and the Bur
lington liiia always been bitter , and I think It
will now be moderated somewhat by the fact
that their lines to Portland , under the new
conditions , appeal to different classes. "
Trouble Over Cut ItnteM.
CHICAGO , Oct. 22. It Is less than three
weeks since the executive ofllcers.of the
wcfltcrtr roads met and declared that rates
between St. Paul and Minneapolis ami Chicago
cage should 'at once at restored to tariff
laics and maintained. The trouble Is now
us bad as ever and , In fatt , the demoraliza
tion has never been done away with. It was
reported to the executive committee of the
Western Passenger association today that the
mat hot at St. Paul is stocked with tickets
that are being sold to Chicago at $2.50 under
the tariff rates , anl that proportional cuti
aio made to Kans-M City and Omaha. The
attention of the executive officers has been
called to the matter and they have been
arkcl to take matters Into their own hands
once moro and see that the general passen
ger agents keep up the agreement into which
their superiors entered three weeks ago.

Votlnp : Contest for Queen I'uliirls to
Cniiiiiienee Stmiliiy.
It has been suggested that the maids of
honor to Queen , Polaris be chosen from
among the young ladles In the different
towns nnd cities lying within a radius of a
hundred miles from Omaha , and that the
dally press of each town or city start a
voting contest to determine who should rcp-
lescnt their respective place during the win
ter carnival.
Considering the Interest shown In the
cxpcsitlon by the citizens of Council Bluffs ,
It looks like an easy matter for the forma
tion of at least one ski , ont- skating and one
toboggan club In that "go-ahead" city. The
matter will be canvassed by a representative
of the carnival managers in a few clays.
Managers Norrls and Love have studied
the weather question very thoroughly , looked
up tlie weather bureau data for the last ten
jears , and have concluded to set the date
for the Ice Palace , with all Us attending fea
tures , for January 18th , 19th and 21st , at
which tlmo It will be ready for Queen Polaris
und her numerous retinue. The storming
of the Ice Palace and the abdication of the
queen will occur on the last mentioned
date. If nature should change her mind ar.d
give us a mild spell of weather during the
middle of January the managers will be pre
pared to carry out their contract by substi
tuting manufactured Ice and the carnival
will go merrily on.
It must not bo Imagined for a moment
that all amusements will be held back for
cainlval week. On the contrary surprises
in the way of attractive features will bo
introduced ns sooiii as Ice has formed suf
ficiently to permit skating.
Another feature to be Introduced Is the
Immense toboggan slide where one can enjoy
an exciting ride of 1,800 feet at the late of
moro than a milo a minute. A slide of this
magnitude has never before been attempted.
The first ballots for the Queen of the
Carnival will be published In tomorrow's
( Sunday's ) Heo , and every day thereafter In
both , the morning and evening edition , and
the votes can > be deposited in either of the
two ballot boxes , one located In the rotunda
of the Hotel Mlllard , the other In the bus
iness olllce of the lice. After perusing the
Sunday Bee , cut the ballot out , write the
iiEino of your choice for Qnteni Polaris on
It , and drop It In cither ono of the two boxes.
The fifth night of the six-day race will
bo run Saturday night and finished Monday
night. McCnll and Sager will ride against
I'roulx and Hall In a two-mllo tandem pur
suit race.
Fredrickson and Plxley will ride a match
race.

The matter of the select'on ' of a musical

There was a peculiar fitness In the selec
tion by Mine. Modjfeks of Schiller's trag
edy "Mary Stuart , " In which to say farewell
for the present to the Omaha public , for It Is
the play In which she last appeared In this
city several years ago. The old drama U
too well known nnd this gifted artist's performance
formance- the role of the unfortunate
queen Is held In too close remembrance to
requlro detailed description or critical analy
sis. Mme. Modjeska'a high Ideals of art ,
her gentle , refining touch , her womanly
earnestness , her unfailing sincerity nnd the
aesthetic symmetry of her work are at
tributes which would not be forgotten even
In a longer period of atsence from the stage
than that recent one which Ictt l.cr ad
mirers desolate. It Is hoped that her leave-
taking of list night was "au rcvolr" nnd not
"good by. "

"Wo could not say too much in favor of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. About three
years ago one of our children had an attack
of croup and \\e were afraid that wo would
lese him. Seeing Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy , advertised , we decided to give It a
trial. It gave almost instant relief and we
believe it saved the child's life. Since then
wo have never been without a bottle of this

At the solicitation of the KnglL'a litera
ture section of the Woman's club , Mme.
Helena Modjeska consented to make a short
address before the women of that depart
ment yesterday afternoon at the First Con
gregational church. The announcement that
distinguished artist would appear wsr
sufficient to draw out a full representation
of the membership. Mme. Modjeska , al
though suffering from an Indisposition
which threatened to Interfere with her evenIng -
Ing performance , kept her engagement with
the club women with that cons'.derateness
which ever distinguishes her. She begged
however , to be excused from delivering a
lecture In set terms , on the play of "Mac
both , " as originally Intended , that trzgedj
being the present topic of study In the sec
tion. Instead , she talked for a quarter of
an hour In a delightfully Informal way ,
which charmed her hearers as much ab the
matter of her remarko added to their know !
edge.
