12 Tins OMAHA DATIA" IVE.E : TVESDAV , SEPTEMBER 10 , asns. BACK nr < yrH HMff0 TARIFF Western Railroads Are Ready to Restore Passenger Rates. RESULT OF CANADIAN PACIFIC SETTLEMENT Olil-Tliiie Srlirilnlp of fnrm Tlirouali llic Omnliit iiy in Norlliwp * - cru Conxt Point * ( locm Into KITrot Xf\t AVrok. Passenger rates between Omaha and Chicago cage and between Omaha nnd the northern Pacific coast points are to bo advanced within the next two weeks. The advance Is the result expected from the settlement of the rate war between the American trans continental lines , on the one hand , and the Canadian Pacific on the other. A meeting has been called for Thursday of this week In Now York City. The details of the restoration of the pasesngcr rates will bo fixed upon at this meeting. ID has been decided already , however , to advance the rate between Omaha and Chicago , in each direction , on Wednesday , September 21. The cut rate of $9.23 , which has been In effect for Kovcral weeks , will bo withdrawn , and the regular rate of $12.75 substituted. No notice of the withdrawal of the cut rate of $7.75 in effect from Kansas City to Chicago has been given out as yet. The standard rate of $11.CO between Chicago cage and St. Paul will on the sarao date dis place the cut rate of $ S now offered by the railroads. The rate situation between these two cities is worse than anywhere else In the west. Tickets are sold In the brokers' offices for $2.60 , and a very small percentage of them are believed to bo purchased from travelers. How the competing lines hope to restore regular rates Is a matter not given out for publication. A secret meeting of the Chlcago-St. Paul lines was held last week , nnd it Is currently reported that a physical pool of the passenger business between the two cities was agreed upon and will bo at tempted definite the Sherman anti-trust law and Its provisions ngalnst such pooling. The rates between Omaha and the north west will bo restored to tariff on Sunday , September 25. The first-class rate from hereto to Seattle , Snokano and Portland will bo raised from $20 to $50 , and the second-class rate will bo pushed up from $10 to $10. Thcso low rates have been in effect for over n year , nnd wcro put In on account of the rush to Klondike that was longed for but never came. They have had the effect of homewhat increasing travel between the Missouri river and the northwest , but not to an extent where the revenue obtained equals that from ordinary travel at regular rates. CHICAGO , Scot. 12.A11 the western roads today agreed to a restoration of pas senger rates to go into effect September 21. This agreement will not Interfere with the special reduction acrced to by different roads on account ot the Omaha Exposition. A nromlncnt passenger man on being ehown the nbovo dispatch said to The Bee : "I doubt very much whether the T9.25 rate between hero and Chicago will be disturbed on September 21 , or until after the exposi tion. Two of the lines have said they would rcstoro the $12.75 rate on that date , but it's another thine to do It. It's not prac ticable to restore the rate when a man can go to St. Joe and buy a ticket to Chicago , his whole trip costing him less than the regular rate from hero to Chicago.

If the railroad company , an It does , enforces a rule of strict sobriety among its employes , and particularly Its trainmen , It la Inconsistent for the company to hold out temptation to them , as It did when these saloons wcro open.

STREET VIADUCT City Engineer Has His Men at Work or Plans for the Structure , WILL BE A PERMANENT AND MODERN AFFAIF ( irncrnl Iilcn of llic IlrtilKC linn Ilcon AVorUeil Out nnil .Shot Hint It AV111 lie I'D to Dntc lu All ItPHJICCtM. Cluy Engineer Kosownter has made up his mind in a general way as to what the new Sixteenth street viaduct is to bo like , anil this morning ho set the draughtsmen In his office at work upon the preliminary plant of the structure. Ho wants to get these plans and specifications In such shape as tc malto a report to the city council as soon as possible. No rlmo will , therefore , bo losl In drawing them up. Whllo the viaduct has not yet been planned in detail , three points are decided upon. Ono is that It Is to bo of a perma nent character , constructed of steer , iror and concrete. There will not bo a bit ol woodwork nbouB It , except whcro piling maj bo ncccBsary. In the second place , the structure will be bullu upon n straight line Thuro will bo no such dip as the presenl flftcen-foot decline to the center of the present viaduct. There is a third point settled upon and that Is that the viaduct shall bo strong enough to hold the hcavlesl sort of traffic to bo carried across at any sort of a gait. There will ba no signs of "teams cannot cross the viaduct at a gait faster than a walk" at cither end of the neiv structure. The viaduct will probably be fifty-two feet in width over all. The present structure has n width of thirty-two feet. The roadway will be Just double the width of the present one , forty feet. The sidewalks along cither sldo will be six feet In width , as they are at present. The pavements and sidewalks will bo of asphalt or some similar durable material. In many ways the new viaduct will look llko the old one. There will bo a big truss where the present ones nro located , but underneath there will probably be only two stone or concrete piers in place of three. This change will be rnailo because the rail roads do not wish any piers to ho located on their right of way. All the other sup ports of the viaduct will bo of steel or Iron or a combination of these materials and concrete. As yet City Engineer Uosewater Is not prepared to glvo a definite idea of the cost of the structure , but it will probably be In the neighborhood of $150,000. rouiiull'N Committee Work. At the committee of tbo whole mcctlni of the city council yesterday it was de cided to continue during the Peace Jubilei week the street illuminations that will b < on during carnival week , If proper arrange mcnts can bo made. The succcstion wa made by Mayor Moores , who was appolntci with President Blngham a committee ti see what the cost of the additional Illu ruination would be. The mayor was also instructed to call i meeting of city officials fop the purpos of raising enough money to defray the cos of crectlnc a review platform about th city hall during Ak-Sar-Dcn week and pro vtding chairs for the officials and member of the Board of Governors of the knights. Mayor Moores , President Blngham am Councilman Mount were appointed a com mltteo to consult with the exposition offi clals regarding some manner of entertain mcnt for the Chicago city officials on Chicago cage day. October 1. Property owners interested in the Twenty fourth street viaduct presented a waive of all damages that might accrue to ad joining property through the constructlo of the viaduct. The waiver was ordere placed on file with the city clerk. Th council will take future action. The Board of Public Works was author ired to expend money to build approachc to the new city Jail building In the way c steps and driveways.
