WORK ON PASSENGER DEPOTS Omaha Terminal Btationi Coming On ii Great Style , UNION PACIFIC AND EU-LINGTON Overland' * Temporary Strnctnn Almoit Hendr More Into Ilnnddomc Station of the n. & t H. Ncnrlnv Completion * ' "With the building of two passenger eta 'lions tbet-o la more activity displayed on th cast aldo ot the Tenth street viaduct tha there has been for a long time. The U wooden sheds that arc being constructed b the new Union Pacific company , the ono t bo used as a waiting room for passenger nd the other to sbrvo as ei baggage roon are rapidly approaching completion , on from the progress made In their construi tlon It looks an though they would bo read for occupancy early In April. The roofs o both sheds ore about on , whllo the oldc : Including the doorways and windows , ha\ been finished several dayg. The cxterloi are painted green whllo the roofs are a da red. Thc.ro Is nothing very ornamental ( attractive about the buildings that are d ( signed to look after Uie exposition travel i five railway systems , but If the woodc buildings prove sufficiently largo to hand the traffic the chief end In view by It builders will have been occompllc'hed. On Friday morning a train of freight cai leaded with ashes and cinders was run I by the Union Pacific , and the contents dl trlbuted around and about the new woode buildings. As soon as the cinders have bee packed down the workmen will start to le the wooden platforms that will extend b twccn the new sheds and the tracko. Ei trancro are provided ftr the now bulldlni In both their north and south eldes. Tl nloplng approach down from the Tcnl street viaduct strikes the ground on tl north sldo , of the frame structures , whi the track used by passenger trains are Ju couth of tto now buildings. T ( supports of the new gangway Icadlt down from the viaduct to the Union Paclt structures ore already In position ; they ai eighteen In number. They are of heavy tin bcr , and In their position they lead dow from the viaduct with a Blight turn to tl north. Workmen began nailing on the plan flooring on Friday. This approach will I just about as steep as the one that did ser Ice for so many years to the sheds at pro cnt In use. The connection between tl wooden approach and the viaduct has n yet been made , but will be within a fe days. BURLINGTON'S NEW DEPOT. On the south side of the tracks the Bu llngton's new passenger station Is being hu rled along , and as It ncars completion gives evidence of being one of the most su Btantlal and attractive structures of Its kli In the west. The Iron work for the roof nearly all In place. The exterior walls a up , and the Interior walls , consisting linmlsomo white enamel brick , give an Id ot what the Inside of the building will lot like. The rampe , which Is to form a grac fully curved driveway from the main e trance down to the baggage rooms. Is ra Idly asumlng form and suggests an easy a preach between the ground level and t viaduct. The eight large , handsome , granl pillars that form one of the three rows tb nro to adorn the main entrance on the we end of the building , just oft from the vladui nro In place. They are much handsomer th the pillars on the north side ot the bull Ing , which are of sandstone. On Friday t stone masons began to put In pin the granite pillars for the se end row of the colonnade at the w < entrance. There are to be twenty-eight thoio granite pillars In air , and as they ha been ready at the Denver marble and gran nhops for some time It will not be long t fore they are ! ii place now that the platfoi upon which they are to rest le almost co pletcd. Just when the Burlington will bo able move from the present sheds Into Its n homo Is not known. The agreement wl Contractor Field calls for the completion the structure on April 15 , and the rallrc officials do not anticipate that theyxwlll delayed more than two weeks beyond tl date. General Manager Holdrcgo ot the & M. recently said to The Bee that ho f quite positive that the company would able to move Into the now station during I flut part of May. The Union Taclflc's n frame bulldlags will bo completed befi that time. H Is altogether probable that I Union Pacific will be able to move from I present quarters to the buildings early April. This will leave the Burlington a ! < to occupy the present sheds for aboul mcuth. As tocci as the Burlington can , into Its new station , probably about May the present sheds will be torn down and ground leveled for additional track * . 1 only monument to the sheds that have di duty for eight years that will remain will In the memory ot the traveling public.

'OR ; * D YEARS THBSTANDAW MAY EXPEDITE THE MAILS Hebnikfc'i Senator Moves to Bring Belief to Business.Men. ALLEN AIMS TO DO AWAY WITH DELAY Another Effort to Overcome the Time lx t la Chlcnuo Wnltlnir for the Mornlna : I'npcra t Get Ont. The local officials of the railway mall serv ice are not certain of the manner In which the $100,000 which Senator Allen wishes to have tacked on to the postofflcc appropria tion bill In congress Is to bo expended for the Improvement of the service west of Chicago cage , but the belief Is general that It Is Intended to do away with a serious delay In the transmission of westbound mall from Chicago , which Is made for no other purpose than to accommodate the Chicago papers. According to the telegraphic dispatch , In which mention Is made of the Introduction of the amendment , It Is stated that the money la desired for "continuing necessary and special facilities on trunk lines from Chicago cage to Omaha , Lincoln and Denver and points west thereof. No part of this appro priation Is to be expended unless the post master general shall deem It necessary to the postal service , and In any contract under this provision , It shall bo expressly stipulated that all through mall arriving In Chicago , and bound west , shall be carried In the car in which It ehall reach Chicago , or bo there transferred on track from one car to another without being hauled by carts , wagons or otherwise from one station to an other. " . At the present time there Is a delay of from three to nine hours In the transmission of eastern mall bound for the west , which arrives In Chicago. Som9 of It comes In as early at 7 o'clock In the evening and some of It as late as midnight. None of It , however , can leave Chicago on a fast mall until 3 o'clock the following morning. Local points between this city and Chicago are given mall service on trains which leave Chicago early In the evening , but all the rest Is held over for the 3 o'clock train on the Burlington , which carries the fast mall , The consequence to merchants of this city Is that they are delayed one whole business day In receiving their eastern mall. Mall , which would be received In this city on the following morning , If It was at once sent out on a fast mall , does not reach here until late In the afternoon. The delay tc points further west than this city Is in some cases much greater. There Is but one reason for this long de lay In the transmission of mall. That Is tc accommodate the Chicago papers In sendlnp out their early morning editions Into this part of the country. This cause , of course , Is not assigned by the rallroaJ officials. Thej claim that the delay h made absolutely nec essary by the transfer of mall across Chicago cage from one road to others by wagon , It Is not needful , however , that such c transfer should bo made , or If It Is neces' sary , that It should tie made In such man ner. The postal car which carries It Intc Chicago might as well be switched upor the track of the- trunk lines , or , In case that a transfer Is necessary , It might a < well be made on the track from car to cai as by wagon across Chicago. Senator Allen's resolution makes provision that the transfei shall be made In this way , If the $100,00 ( for the Improvement of the service Is ap proiirlated.
