The dist; from wenver to Q:den is . The morning train leaving Denveris due at Ogden twenty-eight hours and forty-five minutes later. The running time is theref>re about twenty-eight miles | an hour. Tue evening train is a trifle faster, as the run is made from Denver to Ozden in twenty-six hours and forty-five minutes or at the rate o! thnirty miles an bour. Xillmore calls this fast time. It may be swift w compared wiih the illmore’s flyers of the fas schedule, on p the loss of So! Here is the Union Pacific schedule. Let those who delight in_speed on the rail nold their breath. Tue distance from Omaba to Ogden 1s 1035 miles. The Union | Pacific makes ihe run on what Iillmore | considers a lizhtning scnedule, in thirty- | three hours. Here a wenderful flight of thirty-two miles an hour is attained. Now comes the schedule of Fillmore’s own darling, the Southern Pacitic, on which it is not safe to make up time for he accommodation of passengers. Thoughis turn to Mark Twain in “Inno- cents Abroal.” When theinnocents were told that Mo<es was forty vears taking the children of Israel through tue wilder- ness to the Promisea Land, Mark re- sponded in astonishment that Ben Hotla- day’s stage line would have taken them through in forty-eizht hours. The aistance from San Francisco to Og- den is 833 miles and tbe flvers of the Southern Pacific make the flight in thirty- five hours. The marveious speed of twenty-four miles an hour is sustained throughout the whole lengtn of the line. When the Southern Pacific waits five hours at Ogden for the Union Pacific or Rio Grande the speed must be increased to twenty-eight miles an hour in order to | register “on time’’ at tne Oukland mole. But Fillmore says: “This fast running must stop. Railroad men who have studied the schedules assert that the Southern Pacific’s time ouzht to be materially re- duced between Ogden and San Franeisco. Instead of moping along at the rate of twenty-four miles an hour and cecnpying thirty-five hours to make the run the dis- tance should be traversed in twenty-six bours, The day that Fillmore’s interview was published in Ture CaLi W. A. Snedaker, the San Francisco azentof the Rio Grande Western, wired to F. A. Wadleigh, gen- eral passenger agent of the line at Salt Lake, stating that Fillmore had asserted that the Rio Grande was advertising an impossible schedule, and so had threat- ened to discontinue future waiting. Wad- leigh was requested to forward a state- ment showing how many times in the month of November the Rio Grande Western had been thirty minutes or more late. In reply to the message Wadleigh wired: LAKE, December 4, 1897. H. Snedaker, 14 Montgomery street, San Following is R0 Grande Western iratn record for month of Novembez: No. 1 arrived Ogdén on time, 20 times; less than thirty minutes late, 5 times; more thau thirty minutes, 5 times.

What brings” iip this question at this Southern Pacific record good. F. A. WADLRIGH. The Union Pacific did not rest long un- der the imputation that the company operating the road from Omaha to Ogden was advertising an impossible schedule. A message went to ne Manager Dickinson to the effect that Fillmore had cailet him a liar. The speed records re- centiy made by the Union Pacific dispate the assertion that the regular schedule is iast. In the veliow building the officers of the Southern Pacific are expecting to hear that Manager Killmore uas been calied down from nis high horse. It is said that he assumed considerably more authority than 1he operating department had a rightto exercise when he informed the con- necung roads that they must come to bis terms. General Pas enger Agent Good- the Union Pacific and Rio Grande peovle ssked him if he thought the Southern Pacific was treating the connecting roads in a decent manner. The fact was called to Mr. Good- man’s mind tbat the Denver and Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western brought to the Southern Pacific 80 per cent of the last named company's Chris- tian Endeavor passengers. This bns ness was developed mainly by the roads connecting with Fillmore’s line. The little Rio Grande Western, operating 548 miles of road, from Grand Junction to Ogden, pad out $5000 for advertising in ¢ East the Christian Endeavor event. The representatives of the connecting lines at Ogden fancied that Fillmore was engaged in a smail piece of railroad busi- ness when he sought to throw the blaume for delays on the roads east of Ogden. Delays of the past were cited, and it w calied to minG that the Southern Pacific was once blocked 50 that no trains could un for a period of two weeks, It was re- marked thata capable and resolute man in charge of the work of lifting the block- ade would have had the road open in two days. Mr. Goodman disclaims all responsi- bility for the attack, and so the operating department has the controversy in its own keeping. It is broadly hinied that some explanation or retraction must be made. A close watch is being kept on the On December 7 it hap- pened that the Southbern Pacific train from San Francisco was ten hours late in arriving at tha: point. What particuiarly ealls the representa- tives of the connecting lines is the ingrat- itude of the Southern Pucitic. The roads ES { east of Ogden are spending money to pro- mote tourist passengers trave.. They are providing with first-class accommoda- | tions and doing everything that pro:res- | sive and up-to-date railroad managers ouzht 10 do to encourage regular passen- ger aud excursion travel to Caliiornia, yet if their Southern Pacific which gets the share of the protits of the business, raises a protest and threatens to leave without giving a single thought to the conven- ience and comfcrt of the passengers. It costs a litttle more for fuel and wear and tear to run a train at a speed of thirty miles an hour than it does to poke along on an average schedule of the Southern lion’s | Pacine, hence Filmore declares that the fast running must cease. The Denver and Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western may bring the Southern Paciic the bulk of the latter's traffic, yet the connecting companies are not heid in my 1avor ut the yellow building. The gooa November record cannot bedisputed in the office of the Southern Pucific, but December records are cited to show tuat the Rio Grande Western trains have been four or five hours iate several times this month.

THREE PARTIES TO THE COMPACT Consternation of the Members of the Expose in “The Call.” UMABLE T0 [LOCATE THE LEAK. Assistance of the Lumber Trust Oounted On to Mulet the Buyers of Boxes. There was consternation among the four parties to the box factory combine yester- day when it was learned that their secret compact had been given to the world by THE CALL. e trouble all came about through the charge of the Commercial Company that the American had divulged the sacret compact, and secrecy was above all things most essential to the success of the trust. If the buyers once ob:ained an inkling that they were being “'squeezed,’” it would mean the speedv dissolution of the com- bine, and 1. was hoped thatalthough there had been a leak it was not serious enough to attract t .e attention of outsiders. Whe however, THE CaLL published exclusively the full aetails of the com- pact, showing how buyers were to be sub- jected to a graduated scale advancing prices from 10 to 25 per cent, and also nar- rated the charge of the Commercial that the American had broken its pledge of secrecy, the members of the combine knew that tneir scheme of extortion was at an end. A stormy meeting was held yesterday, at which representatives of all the mem- ters were present. Charges and counter- charges flew thick and fast, and it was plainly *vident that ali were suspicious of | the American Company. The admission of its representative that some of its trusted employes had been 10id of the combine did not les-en sus- picion. The question was asked, how, if only a few trusted employes were in- formed of the compact, THE CALL ob- tained its information, and as the Amer- ican people had no idea how THE CALL had unearthed the secret piot, and conse- quently could not answer, the suspicion deepened to firm conviction that the whole affair had been revealed by the American Company. The situation was discussed in all its phases and finaliy it was decided to drop the American Company and form a new combine, with only the Commercial, Un- ion and Hobbs, Wali & Co. as parties. v was believed that with the aid of the to out- such a lumber trust, the price of lumber side f-ctories could be run up to figure as to practically drive them out of business, giving the box combine control of the market, virtually, and full swing to charge buvers whatever rate they saw fit. It was conceded that the effects of the expose in THE CALL would be extremely difficult to overcome, for now that buyers of boxes were thoroughly informed ot the manner in which they were to be mulcted and the names of the parties to the com- bine given,only t:.e assistance of the lum- ber trust wouid carry the scheme through. Nevertheless it was determined to make the attempt, and so with the American box factory shut out and ready to join vith the others to break the combine, the {infant box trust will make one lust effort | to save itseif from utter collapse. | outside factories lauugh at its struggles, Feeble Attempt of the Box | But the and say they are due to muscular contrace tion—tnat the trese is dead.

An Attack of Erysipeians Causes His | Friends Anxiety. | State Senator J. D. Mahoney is ill in his | apariments at the Baldwin Hotel. In fact, his condition became so serious last night that the attendant physicians gave orders that no one but his relatives and | nurses be allowed to see him. Senator Mahoney has been suffering! from a cancerous growth in the throat for | a long time and bas underzone four surgi- cal operations in the hope of receiving permanent relief. The last operation was performed about ten days ago, and Mahoney appeared to improve rapidly. He left his rooms list Wednesday to attend to some business down town and coniracted a cold which settled 1n the wound in his throat. Not- withs:anding the efforts of his physicians they were unabie to save him from an at- tack of erysipelas.
