SOUTHERN PACIFIC PRESENTS A DEMAND Wnnt * Snmc Proportion of Itrilnrcil Si'i'c.iHt Cln I'nro tlm < It 1 - rclvrn fur ItrKiilnr TleUrtu Otlur llnll n - AITnlrn. Trouble continues to pile up for the pas- BeiiKer men of the western roads. S. A. Hutchison nml A. 1 Smith , assistant gen- prnl passenger agents respectively for the t'nlon 1'ncinc nml the Burlington , have gene tr > Chicago to attend a hastily called mod- Inn of western roads to aollherato upon the raio Bltuallon. Two or three matters arc demanding omo action. The Interested roads have been brought Mco to face within the last few days with the beauties ol a monopoly nml they nro not experiencing the delights of satisfaction over the oltuatlon. The Southern I'nclflc , which la about the only line touching all California points , has mndo a demand for tlid same proportion of the reduced socond- rlas3 faro that It receives for the regular tickets. The reduced faro Is $32.00 , while the regular second-class UcKct costs $40. The Southern Pacific's share of the latter Is $18.40 nnd It refuses to tnnko a proportional reduction In Us porcentngo with that made by Its connecting lines This leaves but $1 < 10 to bo divided among the roads carry ing the business from the Missouri rlvor 'to Ogden The Santa Fo la the only other road which lias a line to California , nnd It only touches tit a few points In the southern part of the state. For the western roads to refuse to ncccdo to the demands of the Southern 1'aclflcwould bo to Icuvo to the Santa Fe nil the second-class travel to California. If they submit to these demands they will carry the business without profit , The best way out of the dilemma will bo a subject for consideration at the Chicago meeting. Another matter to \ > o brought up Is the failure of the committee appointed for that purpose to Induce the. Great Northern to withdraw Its low rates one way to all points nlong Us lino. The only satisfaction the committee obtained woa the statement that the rates were not Intended to bo permn- jiont , but when asked when the rates were to -withdrawn no answer was vouchsafed. As n result of this failure it Is rumored the Canadian 1'aclIIe will retaliate with an other Hcrlen of low rates , which will bo n now record In that line. How far this war will tie carried , If once Inaugurated , Is problematical , and the course the other roads will ndopt will possibly too decided at Chicago. The Uilrd matter for consideration will bo the wisdom of following the action of the Alton and the Northwestern In announcing that they will carry business to the educa tional convention at Jx > s Angeles nt the same rate made by any of their competitors. The Northwestern connects with the Union Pa cific at Omaha , mid the Alton , under Its new management , connects with the same rorad nt Kansas City. The Santn Fo a few days ugo expressed a determination to take a $5 differential on all trnlllo to Los Angeles willed returned by Portland , no matter what rates the otiher roods made , and is sup ported by the Southern Pacific. The other two roads mentioned , with their connecting line , declare they will meet any rate made by the Santa Fc. Here Is another Incident of the Irresistible and the Immovable. Pros pective travelers to tlie coast nro looking on with complacency. AND ixni.Miiis PAIITGD. I.ocomntUcn "Will IVot lie Itcitcrvcil for One Crow. CHICAGO , March 27. Engineers nnd their engines are to bo divorced on two of the lilg railroad systems diverging from Chi cago. Hereafter , on the Milwaukee and the Santa Fe roads , all engines will bo pooled mid mil continuously , regardless of the en gineer In charge , Instead of ibolng run by ono driver nnd laying up In the roundhouse While the master sleeps. llallroad companies lose thousands of dollars lars every year by adhering- the custom of keeping ono engineer to ono engine. Under the now rule the engines will bo worked continuously for allotted periods , when they will fee sent to the 'shops for whatever repairs are necessary. The en gineer will bo required to climb upon any locomotive that Is run out for him to servo on. Each engine will be thoroughly In spected before It is started on a trip. Un der the now plan ono engine will do as much work as two or tlnco now do , as they will bo operated continuously. A Hll ' < M'NHfiil - OiiontiiKKvciit. . Accounts of the formal opening of the Port Arthur canal last Saturday , nt the fcouthorn terminus of the Port Arthur rail road , agree that the event was an entire success. Some 5,000 utrangers were In the little city on the gulf , nnd , ns there are only about l.COO Inhabitants there , some llttlo difficulty was encountered In caring for the visitors. But the bosom of mother earth was broad nnd hospitable nnd , the weather being warm , the excursionists found places to sleep without great discomfort. Darges , boats , launches and other water craft were ( brought into use to g-l\o the visitors a ride tbtotiBh the full length of the canal and return. Refreshments were served on board to make the trip ns en joyable ns possible. The governors of sev eral states wore present and participated In the ceremonies. A now steamer to ply between the port and Hamburg was there to glvo the visitors an Idea of the possi bilities of the future for this port as an export ipolnt for the products of the west nnd south , Omcors of the Port Arthur route were present also nnd told the assembled people of the plans the company had In view for perfecting the advantages already accrued to the port , among them being a huge diy dock , which will accommodate any two ciulseru In the United States navy. So natlBfactory was the showing of the work done and so favorable the outlook for the future that the visitors adopted n resolution congratulating A. i : . Stlllwell. president of the Port Arthur route , for his energy In thus conncctliiR Omaha on the north and the Kreat agricultural states In Its territory with the waters of the Clulf of Mexico , tap- ! > lng enrouto the richest country In the world. Union Piii'llli , Ollcer ! > Imiich lloi.iu. Managing officials nnd heads of depart ments nt Union Pacific headquarters are now enabled to take their noonday lunch without leaving the building. The room on the first floor , which has been fitted up for this purpose by J. E , Jiarkel of the Mlllard hotel , is ready for use. It is light , ulry and attractive nnd It Is promised that the menu to bo ser\ed will bo first-class. The use of the luuch room Is limited to the oflklals mentioned. H Is said to bo an idea of President Hurt's , that the offlceri. might to brought together each day to talk over matters pertaining to the road while lunching. Almost without exception the men affected are pleased with the accommoda tions , They ay that aside from the social feature , which is an attraction In itself , It Is a convenience which they nro surprised bad not been introduced some tluio ago. KrrilliiK-lii-TriniHlt | ( uUKml Mny in Freight oniciuU of Traimmlssourl roads are preparing an official announcement of the dufluile withdrawal of the feedlng-ln-traniilt rate. ! , which will bo Issued to the shippers and all others Interested within n few do > * . 11o ; date of the withdrawn ! has been fixed for May 15. This seems to preclude the pos sibility of the roads changing their minds on this subject. Severn ! times In the past It was announced those rates were to bo with drawn , but later for various reasons the action was reconsidered , nnd those who have benefited by tno rates hnvo felt a similar re sult would follow nt this time. Hut such will not bo the case. After long and careful consideration the western roads linvo deter mined that the rates should bo taken out , nnd expect to carry out their Intentions In this regard. Numerous protests from Etock- mon have been received nt the freight offices of the different roads , but they arg simply being filed. Punt Mull Time Hlinrtcnnil. Heglnnlug Sunday , the Lake Shore and Now Ymk Central , to meet the new card of the Pennsylvania road , have shortened the time of their fast mall between Now York and Chicago one Tiour nnd a quarter. Tilio new card will allow a lltllo over twenty-two hours between the two cities. It Is not believed hero that the shortening of the time on these roads will affect the cart ndoptcd by the roads west of Chicago. The reduction has not bccu called for by the government , so far as could bo learned nt local railroad offices , but is merely the result of competi tion between two great routes for the con tract. Neither Is It possible there will bo any change In the arrival of the fast mall n Omaha. It Is presumed that the hortcncd Jrao Is mode by the trains lea\lng New York that much later , which would uot call for nny change lu the departure of the mall trains % west from Chicago.

CLOSE OF THE NIGHT SCHOOLS Ilounl of Uilncnllnn Well nUli < h < > Ilxiii-rlinriilN "Which ' 1'lnjTried. . The night schools which were running nt the Cass and Lravcnworth schools during the winter months closed their sessions for the jcar last Friday night. The schools were llttlo more than experiments , but were suc cessful enough to convince the members of the Board of Education and school olllrlals that they should be continued again during next winter. The schools were kept going In the face of serious Impediments In the way of the small pox scare , the generally bad health of the city nnd the severe weather of the winter. They started out with nn attendance of about 150 each , but a goodly portion of this num ber consisted oj met. nnd women who came out of curiosity or for nilsc-hlef. These were weeded out until after the holidays the nt- tenJanco went dot\n to about sixty in each school. The schools closed with nn attendance anceof about forty. "I consider that the schools have done much good , " says Superintendent of Schools Pcarse. "Ono of the pupils was a 40-year- old colored woman who could not read. She continued throughout the term nnd when the schools closed , she was able to read the third reader. This is an extreme case , but I know of quite a number of men nnd women who came to the school uuablo to- read and when Uioy loft they could decipher n newspaper. The results In my opinion are satisfactory enough to warrant a con tinuance of the schools next winter. " All 111)11 ! ! ( < IIIClU PI.

He snjs that the people ot Minnesota nro loud in the praises of the old exposition nnd nto of the opinion that the stnto de'lvcd a great deal of benefit from the advertisement that It rccehcd. Speaking of this Mr. Kleld said : "As a result of the advertising hundreds of settlers nro coming Into our state this spring. They are not poor people by any means , but instead they nro men with money , who nro buying up laud nnd pro- paling to engage in farming on n large scale. At the close of the exposition the people of Minnesota had expended the sum of $24 , COO , money paid by private subscrip tion. At the session of the legislature Just closed these people were reimbursed , the legislature having appropriated this sum , so it Is plain to bo seen that it is the general opinion that the exposition was beneficial to the Interests of our state " Mr. Held will represent Minnesota nt the Paris exposition. Ho expects to go to 1'nrls this summer and remain until the close of the great show.
