Doth of these Omahans have work ° d early and late to secure Iho ab < sorptlon of the brltlgo tolls. Ah unsuccess ful effort was made to secure the concession tram the Omaha & St. LouU railroad , when the latter was under the receivership , but Receiver Barnard wns opposed to the move. The result was that the freight tariff of 189iwHh an amendment of 1895 , has been In effect on the Omaha & . St. louls railroad up to date. The change has been brought about by the consolidation of the Omaha & St. I/ouls railroad with thfr Kansas City , Pitts- burg & Gulf system , nnd sonio energetic work with the officials of the latter syntcm ny a number of men having Omaha's best Interests at heart. * The now freight tariff Is signed by John A.

If not , then the new road will USD the East Omaha bridge , which Is owned toy the Omaha Urldge and Terminal railway. There have been frequent rumors of the early absorption at the latter company by the KanMB City , Plttsburg & Gulf system , and II this should take place Uie now real would ho In quite ; an independent position regard ing Us entrance Into Omaha and the absorp tion of brlilgo charges.

Then ho rushed toward on exit. Within n fewi feet of the door an Immense pleco of glass -fell from the roof , pinioning him to Hie earth , while the names slowly smothered him. It Is practically certain that Johnson waa the onlr pcrnon killed , but a thorough search of the ruins la ibelng carried on , These who were reported missing last night returned to their homes 'today. Most of them had narrow escapes from death. Sholan Hofflan , the Armenian 'who was employed In the Streets of Cairo exhibit , and who was thought to have been killed , returned to his hotel this afternoon _ atter having wandered about the city all night. He said that In trjlng to escape from the burning building ho ran to the wrong exit.

For , twenty-four houra after passing the Golde , Gatewo encountered rough weather , there was a great commotion , both external and Intercal , and a great up heaval of the waters of the ocean anil other things. At daybreak on the morning of October 21 wo were oil Diamond Head. Sandwich Islands , and at 0 a. in. were at the dock In Honolulu. At this point we remained for six uours. Honolulu Is not to be spoken of lightly. It Is In many respects a beautiful little city. In modern Improvements , such as street ears , telephones , water warks , In streets , paved , guttered and curbed , In buildings both iiublle and private , It compares well with many old cities In the states , while In beautiful grounds with endless variety of ornamental trees , shrubs , plants and flowers , we doubt If It has an equal. The harbor presented quite a forest of masts , and there was a dls- u'.ay of business quite unexpected and sur prising. Two or Uncle Sam's war ohlps were Tiding at anchor. In the harbor , and one hail departed the previous day. A drive of three miles toward Diamond Head brought us to the magnificent residence and grounds occu pied'by ' .Minister Sowall , where wo were most kindly entertained. Sewall was the first con sul general at Apia , and soms to take a great Interest In the welfare of these Islands. It In safe to assume that he Is In favor of the annexation of Hanall , and such seems to be the case with the entire white ncnulatlon , which. 1iy the way , as we are Informed , only numbers 10.000. HEAT IS INTEXSE. At 1 o'clock t > . m. we started ifor Apia In the face of a strong trade wind , and all ports to windward had to be closed. For 3,000 miles befora reaching Apia the weather was exceedingly warm and with ports closed staterooms were , to say the least , somewhat uncomfortable. vAt daylight on the morning of the 28th orrOctobjCr wo sighted the moun tains of ' 3avallthe , , , largest of the Samoan group , and at noon wo had passed the Islands of Monpnc > tand | Apollnm and were anchored In the. hai'bor ' of Apia. A dead calm prevailednnd.'jthe ) heat at first seemed almost unendurable , In the harbor awaiting our arrival was every form of craft from the 'War ship to tpo most diminutive and primitive canoe. TDero were consular boats flying their national colors , "there were lighters and "barges " , and sail boats and row boats , and tlzirc , wfcre great numbers of ca- nces In whlchy'wete ' natives with tropical fruits and flovfe'rs ' 'and baskets of the most beautiful corar for bale. 'All lApIo. turns out to the mall steamers and in a few moments the .Moana wa's th'rbnged with peop.to of all sorts and condltlcni's. The Americans and Europeans werq a's a rule clad In the purest while linen , in&ln < ilng white helmets and Whjto shoes , .while , .the natives presented UjVlt" * plump shirt rjtdll rounded"'coiier-col- ored forms hidden only 'about the loins with the lavalava. Cargo was received and dis charge ! , mostly by1 "black boys" from New Britain , as the iSamoan does nof'scem ' to take kindly to labor of that kind. LIME AS iA HAIR OLEACH. Many of the natives had their hair filled with slacked lime for the purpose of bleach ing , 'which ' to the stranger gave them a somewhat grotesque and comical appear ance , but the fashion. Is so prevalent that after a month's sojourn It no longer at tracts attention. The United States consular boat was In waiting and we were- soon landed at the consulate and residence , -where we have slnco , held the fort.- The consulate Is pleas antly situated , has only the street Inter vening between It and the bay and ccm- mands a view of the Pacific and of all craft omlng and going. After a month's stay am convinced that Samoa Is Samoa , Apia s Apia and theIJamoan Is a Samoan , and uch they will remain , The city of Apia resembles the horseshoe n shape. It extends around the harbor and s about , three miles In length. The opening sf the shoe Is to.-tho northeast. Commencing at the southeast may first be seen "Old Glory , " as It' dally flcats over the United States consulate ; next , about a quarter of a mile down the street , floats the flag of the British consulate , next around the bend and about a mile away , floats the Imperial flag of thp German consulate general next the Sa- moin flag over ( he custom house , next the "iamcan flag over Ihe king's palace , and lastly lie fla'g of Dr. 'Raffol , the president ot the municipality and custodian of all the funds of the realm. In the rear of this street aad entirely hidden by the rank growth of co coanut , breadfruit and other trees , may be found the residences ot both natives and for- elHRers. Among these may bo found many good specimens of American and European architecture. The main street la paved , or macadamized with coral acid Is almost as smooth as the best asphaltum pavement.

After the singing In the morning the head of the family takes his canoe and gathers from the shallow water such tttlnrs as may be desired from that source , while , perhaps , a female member of the family w.lth & basket made from a leaf of the cocoanut tree , visits the "bush , " anil after the return all nit down upon mats spread upon small cobblestones and for hours spend their time in eoclal Intercourse with \ \ \ ta much cast nnd Indifference AS society women at a mission tea , or a sewing circle. The Samcnn Is n fine- specimen of physical manhood. Ho Is lull , well rounded , straight as an arrow , with head erect , rides a horse with nil the grace 3nil ease of a Comanche , Invariably carries a dangerous looking knife In his belt , but was Tievcr known to use It upon his fellow man , Ho appears kind and respectful In a remarkable degree.

Like certain Individuals of old , to a con siderable extent , they seem to have all things In common. Ho who cnrna has to divide With those who do not , The Samoan Is fond of polo arid cricket and' other g-imcs and he taken especial prldo In his boat and his 1 church , and each village strives to have a ' Urger boat and a larger church than Its neighbor.

U Is a pleasure to be able to state that wo have received the kindest treatment from the natives and all -Cithers alike , that our tables are kept supplied with beautiful flowcm , that we have seen nothing of the Jealousies nnd factional feuds which wo were Informed ex isted here and that our relations with the other members of the consular board and w'fth other olllclals are most friendly and ngieeable.
