CmIcAGo, january S.-ihe North
western train last night brought
through passengers, malls and express
from San Francisco Of the 10th, 10Th,
23d and Goth Of December. There
were about 500 passengers, mostly
i~irst-class, a considerable number Of
whom were through passengers by the
Pacific Mali steamer from China and
Japan. These were making tho trip
In opposition to tho time Of the Pen.
lnsular and Oriental Steamship Com
pany, and are annoyed at the loss of
time and money In taking what was
represented as certainly tho most OK
peditious route. All the passengers
are decided in the expression of the
opinion that their delay Is In great
measure due to acknowledgements on the
part Of tho Union Pacific Company.
Half OF the time lost was spent OIL side
tracks between Ogden and Medicine
River. where there was not altogether
moro than four to five hours detention
from Snow. The four trains, with a
weeks difference in starting time, left
Laramie and arrived ut Omaha OH the
same schedule. At the latter point
tho Union Pacific authorities offered
to the China aud Japan passengers SIS
each, in part payment Of expenses on
the trip. No reason was assigned for
tho discrimination against tho other
through passengers, who suffered equal
Inconvenience and expense with those
from the far East. During a great
part Of the trip 1t was impossible to
procure meals at the stations where
the trains were laid up, aud the pas
sengers were compelled to subslst on
crackers, canned meats and other dried
food. No efforts were apparent on
the part Of tho company to put them
where Others would provide for them
or to provide the proper meals them
There was much suffering and
loud complaint during the entire trip.
