WHISTLING FOR DOWY BRAKES Western Passengor Agents Act as Peace- makers in the Rate War, UNION PACIFIC HOPS INTO THE RACKET Lomax Sighing for the Soalp of the of St. Paul—Prospocts of Peace in Passenger Ciroles—New, in General. The roads beloneing to the Western Pas- senger association have been trying to act as peacemakers in the rate war between the Union Pacific, Great Northern and other transcoutinental lines, For a whilo they prevailed upon the Union Pacific not to enter the fight, but now that road has shied its castor in the ring and henceforth will be strictly in the “‘push.” The Union Pacific passenger agents are now selling first-class limitod Mckets from Sloux City, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Joo and Leavenworth to points in Mon- tana, Idaho, Oregon and Viashington for $30. The eastorn rates aro the same between these points and east of the Missouri river they are offering a basin rate of §25 west of the Missouri river. The Union Pacific does not meot any of the second clas: rates of the Great Northern, but it is thought that the latter road will see the Union Pacific and go it a fow points better. The war has already benefited the peo plo in the far western states and they are tak- ing advantage of the reduced rates to visit the World's fair. General Passenger Agent Lomax of the Union Pacific isin Chicago, and at his re- quost the Western Passenger association hold a special meeting Monday evening. At this meeting Mr. Lomax wanted to know what the lines east of the Missouri river proposed to do In caso the Union Pacific met the reduced rates mado by the lines west of St. Paul. Sighlog for Hill's Soalp. Ho sald ho could not see how the Union Pacific could keep out of the fight an; longer, but_he had not_yot reccived any in- tormation from his superior officers, and could, thereforo, not tell yot what would be done by his company. Before deciding upon definite action he desired to know what aid the Union Pacifis could expect from its east- ern connections. ‘The latter would make no promises, it being their desire to keep out of the fight if possible. After discussion it was decided to request Chairman Caldwell to at once calla meeting of all the lines in the Western Passenger association, both east and west of the Missourl river, to bo held on Friday to takeaction regarding the fight between theroads in thenorthwest, and also to agres upon low excursion rates from all points in the west to the World's fai Definite action regarding reduced World fair rates will have to be takenat Friday's meeting, as tho Santa Fe, Rock Island and some of the other roads will not_svbmit to further delay in the matter. Thesoroads find that their interests are being jeopardized by the present condition of affairs, as the people emphatically rofuso to come to_tho World’s fair if the rate is more than one fare for the round trip. With the exception of two or three of the roads which are known t0 be clandestinely manipulating the rates the earnings of all lines show a decrease in passenger oarnings during tho last weok. They have now come to the conclusion that they can no longer afford to keep up high rates for the sole purpose of benefiting a few of the roads which find that tho high ratos give them a chance for manipulation, and if the lattor do not come to time next Friday several of the roads stand ready to give notice of withdrawal from the agrecment. Northwestern Kates. It 15 understood among passenger agents of other roads that the Northern Pacific has determined to push the fight against tho Great Northern and that within a few days it would put in effect a blanket rate from north Pacific coast points and Idaho, Mon- tana, Washington and Dakota points of $10 to St. Paul and Chicago. By making Chi- cago a common point with St. Paul it will have a great advantage over the Great Northern, as it has a through line to Chi- cago—via the Wisconsin Central—while the Great Northern has no independent outiet from St. Paul to Chicago and will have to seek alliances with the Chicago Great Wes ern aud other lines east from St. Paul. The quotations of through rates to Chicago by the Northern Pacitic via its Wisconsin Central division will compel the Great Western and the other competitors of the Wisconsin Central to reduce their rates from St. Paul east to such figures as will enable the Great Northern to get through to Chi- cago at equally low rates as those made by the Northern Pacific. Won't Allow Joinc Rates. Chairman Midgley of the Western Freight association has issued notices ordering the cancellation of joint wool tariff through the eastern seaboard from the Mississippi river at less than the duly authorized basis. Mr, Midgley’s conclusions are that it is not com- petent for any line in the Western Freight association to issue an individual tariff from the Missouri, unless it be a duplication of rates promulgated by the association; that 1t is contrary to policy and agreement for any line in the Western Freight association to surrender any portion of its arnings be- tween the Missouri and Mississippr rivers, in a division with lines cast of tho Missis- sippi river, of a through rate sought to be establishod between the Missouri river and poiuts east of the Chicago line; that it is contr; to the agreement of tho joint rate committee for any line west of Chicago to join in the publication of less than the agreed proportionate rates east of the Mis- sissippi river, and apply them on transmis- sissippi river trafto destined to or originat- ing at the Atlantic seaboard.

Mackay, who won the other prize, started for the World's fair Monday evening, The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail- way company wakes a great showing for June, 1893, being the heaviest it has had in any one month in several vears. The esti- mated gross eurniugs of the entire system of the company, both east and west of the Mis- souri river, for the month of June, 1803, are $1,717,163, an increase as compared with tho estimated earnings for June, 1802, of §240,253. An erroneous item is going the rounds vhat the Burlington route is going to abandon Pacific Junction as a division station, and transfer the division to Lincoln. Owing to an increase of eastbound freight business, the Burlington people have given two freight crews longer runs and the layover points will be Lincoln and Creston, instoad of Cres ton and Pacific Junctlon.' This will nov affect Pacific Junction in any other manner. e —— eign Exhibitors Arrested.

Splondid Program Presented and a Good Sum Realized Last Evening, The beneflt at Boyd's theater last night, tendered to the widow of Captain Cox, the brave fireman who lost his life in the per- formance of his duty during the Shiverick fire, was a decided success and was attended by a large audience, notwithstanding the torrid condition of the weather. Nearly 1,000 tickets had been sold, though they were not all represonted at the benefit. Knough people were present, however, to fill the first floor, with & goodly number in the balcony. The parties who took part in the program were all well known musiclans and eloc u- tlonists of the city. They were there with- out reward, or hLopeof reward, except & widow’s gratitude. After an overture by the Gate City orchestra, Dean Gardner of Trinity cathedral, who acted in the capacity of master of ceremontes, delivered a short address, saying that the gathering of the citizens'was in @ good cause.
