Passenger Agenti Deplore the Trouble and
Hope to Stop Itt
OMAHA LINES OPPOSED TO THE WAR
Fierce SliiHlilnw of TnrKTu In Not Fol
lowed by Active Compi'tltlou
i for llimlneH * liver Any ,
of tlio Uue .
The deep slashes made Into passenger rates
to the northwest have generated some strife
among the transcontinental lines through
this territory. On the one hand General
I'assengcr Agents Lomax of the Union Pa
cific , Ku&tla of the Uurllngton , Francis ot
the D. & M. and Dlack ot the Santa Fe have
steadfastly opposed making tbo reductions
now In force by which a passenger may
travel from hero to Portland , Tacoma or
Seattle for $10. On the other hand General
Passenger Agents Sebastian ot the Rock
Island and Townsend of the Missouri Pacific
believe that the best and quickest way to get
rid ot tbo present era of ruinous rates Is to
meet every cut of the northern lines , trustIng -
Ing that when the rates get down to $1 the
ntta war will bo at an end and full tariff
ratra may again be restored. The conflict
between these two Ideas as to the best means
of getting through the rate trouble li al
most as keen as that between the American
and the Canadian lines , aud for the present
tint championed by the Rock Island and the
MlfBOUri IHiclflc prevails.
The $10 rate 'for ' second-class travel and
the $20 rate for first-class travel frccu hereto
to Portland , Tncocna and Seattle have been
put In effect 6y the Union Pacific , Hurling
ton and the Rock Island lines. Ncae ot
the lines are huntllag for business at ratea
that are certainly unprofitable. No busi
ness Is being solicited at tliese rates nnd
.prospective travelers who drop In the city
oiricca to talk about the rates are cut short
with Kio announcement that the rates are
$20 first-class and $10 second-clam , and they
are requested to buy quickly and get out If
they want any tickets at these rates. One
man'stopped hi a city ticket office to tell the
agent ho was thinking of going to Seattle
and asked for the lowest rate. "Ten del
lars ; how many tickets do you want ? " was
the solo reply. The men who bought tlck
eta to Uio northwest on Thursday because
they were cheap are eiow kicking themselves -
selves that ttiey did not wait until Friday
when the rates were cheaper. One man
bought flvo tickets at $20 each cxi Thursday
und on Friday came back to the ofllco to s < io
If ho could get back $50 , as the rates had
dropped from $20 to $10 over night. He
didn't get his wants satisfied.
The Rock Island has alao given notice that
Ulll apply the Omaha ratca from Kansas
City , Just where the rate war will end Is
a matter ot mere conjecture. About the
only locality that Is still remote from the
storm center la California , and General Paa-
ecnger Agent Goodman ot the Southern Pa-

the tiltuattni there , will never agree to put

toward getting back the rates to $25 , first

irove of the uevero rate-cutting method as I
the beat way to bring about a restoration of
rates are working nard to got the ratea
rnlsedi from the $10 anj $20 limit to the
$20 and $25 basis. Just what measure of
success they can hope for la the near futura
Is shrouded In gloomy doubt. The Hock
Island officials are thoroughly convinced ot
the efficacy of meeting every reduction of
the northern rate cutters , and If this policy
should be carried out to the superlative de
gree the chanced for a $ l-rate from here
to the northwest some time before the end
of the war will bo good. At present the
roads are practically running their cars for
the fun there la In It , and some of the offi
cials argue that they might aa well stay In
the game to sco the finish.
AIISOIU > TIOOF THU SHOUT LIM2.
Conximiiiintloni of the- Deal IIIiiKox on
a HllKlit CoiitliiKency.
Tbo report from Ibo New York Herald that
the absorption of the Oregon Short Line by
the Union Pacific railroad U very close at
band and that a majority ot the stock of
the former read Is now controlled by the
OHiiers of the latter , confirming the earlier
announcement to the earae effect by The
Dee , was accepted by most Omaha railroad
ofllclals as eminently trustworthy. It Is in
line with the facts In the cose as they under
stand them , and tbero Is no doubt among
nearly all the higher officials that the Short
Line will eoon bo reunited with the parent
road.
Through Asslstfnt Secretary Orr of the ex
ecutive department President Horace O.
Hurt said to The Bee that so far on he knew
there waa no truth In the New York Herald
story.
Another official of the Union Pacific said :
"Of course , It Is natural to expect that the
flrst news of the control of the Short Line
will como from New York. These who hear
from the cilices there nay there Is no doubt
about the correctness ot the facts as stated
by the Now York Herald and The Uee. The
report that there is a dispute about 'certain
monos claimed by both lines is correct.
Just before the joint rates with the Short
Line were severed by the Union Pacific on
October 1 , 1897 , there was a big fight about
the proper divisions between the two lines.
This dispute caused the retention by each
road of moneys duo the other road for
through freight and passenger traffic. As
neither line could agree with the other as to
the proper basis of divisions on through
traffic each just held all the money It col
lected. The balances held by eaeh were
very large , and Involve nearly $400.000 in
the aggregate. I believe the Union Pacific
held rather moro money due the Short Line
than vice versa , and the owners of the Short
Line , who are not Interested In the reorgan
ized Union Pacific railroad , want this balance
of the balances paid over before the two
roads are consolidated. That's the whole
thing In a nut-shell. The dispute has been
hanging fire nearly six months , but It's going
to bo settled on way or the other very
shortly. That's the only obstacle standing
In the way of complete absorption of the
Short Line by the Union Pacific. Hut as the
Union Pacific now owns moro than a majority
of the Short Line stock , the dispute over the
balances on the traffic dtvUIocs will bo com
promised all right. "

Kirov Fnrr from Cliloiiiro to llritver
on Knit Tml n M.
Tha amount of e.xccrs faro that shall be
charged by tbo Union Paclflc-Xorthwcstern
end the UurlUigtMi roads on their new fast
trains between Chicago , Omaha and Denver
will bo announced within a very few days
by 11. D. Caldwcll , chairman of tbo Western
Passenger association. Ho wca selected as
arbiter In the controversy over tue amount
of excess faro by the presidents and the
general passuiger agents of tbo Intcrejtcc
lines.
General Passenger Agent Lomax of the
Union Pacific eald to The De that various
amounts ranging oil the nay from
$1 to $3 , LaiJ been euggeited , b it
no one knew weal amount would
bo determined upon by tbe arbiter
General Paeaecger Agent Frauds of the I )
& M. Bald that tbe Amount would not bo ce
hlgU aa ft. A rumor from Chicago on Frl
day was to the effect that tdo arbiter had
decided to name $3 as the amount , but uoth-
ng confirmatory of this rumor has been re
ceived by Ibo general passenger agents of
the Interested lines here. The mere sug
gestion that the excess fare bo fixed at $3
xought out an emphatic prolcat .from ofil-
clals of both the Union Pacific und the
Burlington lines.
These lines , which have recently In
augurated fast train service through here to
Chicago and to Denver , only submitted to a
demand from the Santa Fo road that excess
'arcs should bo charged on the now fast
trains In order to avoid a rate war and
tosalbly a time war among the competing
Incs between Chicago , Omaha and Denver.
They agreed to allow excess faro to bo
charged on their new trains reluctantly , and
: hey would seriously object to any figure
aa L'lgh as $3. An official of the Union
Pacific said to The Bee : "Wo might as well
take off the new trains if they ore going to
make us charge $3 extra for passengers to
ride on them. The western people will not
pay any such amount for a faster and bettor
: raln service. In the east It's a different
proposition altogether. The roads can
reasonably charge excess faro between
Chicago and Now York , but where there Is
one passenger on a western fast train there
are 1,000 on the eastern trains. The class
of travel east of Chicago Is also different.
This notion of charging excess fare In the
west is all wrong. The Santa Fo Is re
sponsible for It , but It would be Just as
reasonable for us to ask for a differential
Irom Colorado to southern California. "
With the strong objections of the Union
Pacific-Northwestern and of the Burlington
to any high figure It is not believed that
Chairman Ouldwell will fix upon an amount
of excess faro higher than $2.50. The pas
senger officials In Omaha do not believe that
the excess fare should amount to more than
$2 ; in fact , many ot them are strenuously
opposed to any excess faro at all , but since
the presidents have agreed to have an ex
cess faro the only hope ot the passenger men
Is that It shall bo low. At any rate It will
not directly affect travel In and out of
Omaha , as the excess faro will bo applied
only on through travel between Chicago and
Denver. It will affect Omaha Indirectly. It
the excess faro shall bo fixed at such a high
rate as to divert travel from the fast trains
there Is a possibility that they may betaken
taken oft entirely , Should the exccia faro
bo fixed at $3 or higher It Is conceded by
mcst well Informed passenger men that
the now trains would not pay.

H will not be long before the trains of
the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf road are
running from Omaha to Kansas City , 5Io. ,
via Pattonaburg. Harry E. VMoores , city-
passenger and ticket agent , lias just been
nupplled with a stock of tickets reading from
Omaha to Kansas City. The ( act that no
bridge ticket Is required with these for use
between Omaha and Council Bluffo Is believed
to be Indicative of the purpose of the Port
Arthur people to run their trains through to
Omaha and not stop them at Council Bluffs ,
as at present U the custom. It Is taken for
granted that for the present at least the
trains of the now road will cross the Union
I'.iclllc bridge ani enter the Union depot
at Tenth and Mason streets.

GENERAL ROSECRANS DEAD
Aged Veteran of the War of the Eobel-
lion Passes Away ,
LAST DAYS SPENT IN PEACE AND PLENTY
Hnrt Ileeiu CirmlMiilly Sinking for Sev
ern ! laj M Sketch of the
. Career of the Je-
ceimed.
LOS ANGELES. Cal. , March 11. General
W. S. Rcsccrans died this morning at 7
o'clock at his homo near Redondo.
Death was peaceful In the extreme. For
several days he has been between life and
death , at times unconscious and again la a
comatose state. His splendid vitality has
kept him alive for days. When It was known
: hat the aid was near , all the watchers at
the bedaldo were ready at any time to see
the last. At the bedside when the cud came
were a an and daughter of the general and
a number of Intimate friends ot the family ,
beside * the attending phjelclan. Dr. Haynes
of this city.
General Rosecrans was stricken with no
particular disease und the end came through
a gradual weakening of the system. When ho
was first stricken , more than two weeks ago ,
It waa not supposed the aliments was moro
than an attack of 'tho ' grip , but though ho
rallied several times 'the physicians never
held out much hope of ultimate recovery
and for the last three days the family and
friends have known the end was , very near.
The place where he died Is called Royecrans
In honor of him and Is near a station on the
Hodondo railway , and about twelve miles
from this city. The general had made his
homo there on a largo ranch , devoted to
wheat and fruit raising , for several years.
Carl Ros&crana , the only son of the general
returned hero only a few weeks ago from .1
long stay In old Mexico and tde south.
When ho ret'irncd ho did not realize that
the earthly career of the old veteran was so
nearly over , but ho had decided It would bo
well to bo near at hand. The third child ,
a daughter , now Mrs. Toole , ti now at
Helena , Mont. , where her husband liven.
General Rojecruns was possessed of a fine
property and his last daja were spent In
peace and plenty.
T : o ixTangsments for the funeral have not
jet been announced.
William Starke Ilo'ecrans wai born In

at the military academy at West Point In

brevet second lieutenant. For one year ho
served as assistant engineer In the con
struction of fortltlc.itlons at Hampton

II. Vance Lane1 , general superintendent o !
the Nebraska Telephone company , returned
to Omaha yesterday from Chicago , where he
had been for several days making arrange
ments for the \\oik ot extension nnd Im
provement that will be done by the company
during the coming spring and on miner
months. The principal transaction com
pleted at this time was the placing of the
order for a largo and thoroughly eriulppcc
switchboard , to be used by the toll lines , or
long-distance telephone wires , of the com
pany at the Omaha exchange.
The board Is to be built at once and muu
bo Installed ready for service by the opening
of the exposition on Juno 1. When placet
In the exchange the work of the long-dli
tanco lines will be greatly facilitated. The
new nwltchboard for the toll lines will bo
built to accommolate a much greater bull
ness of the long-distance lines than U now
carried on , the management realizing thi
the demand for such service Is bound to In
crease with the coining extension of the
system throughout the state. The ( signaling
on the new board will > bo automatic ; tha
means that whenever a subscriber flnlshe
talking on a toll line the fact will i > o auto
matlcally Indicated to the operator , and tb
vlro will not bo kept In service unnccca-
arlly. Under the prcseit : arrangement no
uch advantage Is enjoyed by the toll line
ervlce. The lines to South Omaha , CounrU
IlufTs , to all other Nebraska nnd lo.va pointy
nd In fact to all places out'ldo of the city
f Omaha wllfbo handled on the new switch
yard. The Improvement Is rrjrardcd as otio
f the greatest that has been d'-slgned for the
Omaha exchange since It was estab'.hhod.
At present workmen are busily engaged on
ho third floor of the local exchange at
eighteenth and Douglas streets fitting In
ho wire.3 to the additional swltch'b-ard ' that
las been found to bo a necessity with the
ontlnucd Increase of the company's Hat ot
ubscrlbers In Omaha. The addition of a
wltcliboard Is concomitant with the Inctciso
f 300 subscribers , and with this addition
bout 2.GOO local butscrlbcra can bo furnished
vlth telephone aervlce. The work cf putting
n a new switchboard Is a tedious task , and
horefore proceeds very slowly. Connections
must ho made between the new iwlrra of the
additional switchboard and \ery other wlro
ntering the exchange. However , the Job Is
more than half completed , and a few more
aya will sec the new board In gcoJ working
rdor.
No provision has > et been made for tclo-
> hone service at the expedition grounds ,
icneral Superintendent Lane says that If the
brajka Telephone company Is to put In a
ilant there the exposition authorities must so
Icclde very quickly , as ho will not ho rushed
nto placing In a service there Just before
ho opening of the gates and so be forced to
urnlsli a plant of Inferior grada and work
manship. He hays If the Nebraska Tele-
ihono company puts In a plant at the cxposl-
Ion grounds he means It shall be the best
: vcr furnished any exposition In the United
States , and this cannot be done If the matter
. - ) allowed to hang lire until Just before the
opening. The matter of furnishing telephone
service to the exposition has been thoroughly
examined , and It Is found that about fifty
clephones would bo necessary to render good
service. The cost of putting In these tele
phoned and the necessary underground wires
vould bo about $7,000. The Nerbaska Tele-
ihono company has submitted a proposition
o the exposition authorities to the effect that
f the latter will pay the actual expense ot
placing the service on the grounds the cn-
Ire receipts during the exposition may ho
retained for the exposition exchequer. Thl
a the offer that Is now under consideration.
There are three little things which do
more wnrk thai any other three little things
created they uro the ant , the boo and
DoWltt's Little Karly Risers , the last being
the famous little pills for stomach and liver
troubles.
