in the Santa Fe Offices.
Another Slash in Passenger Rates to
Chicago.
The 0mcial Notice to Be Given EARLY
This Week of an Official Change
in the Santa Fe-Other II (
Railroad Notes. t{

The HERALD announced exclusively
on Friday that the head OF chief OF the
department in the Santa Fe offices was
about to fall. This statement has oc-
casioned considerable guessing on the
part OF railway people but very few OF
them have hit the mark. However, by
Wednesday, the official announcement
will be made and then the apprehension
in certain corners in the Phillips block
will be over. The official referred too
employs very few subordinates, 80 that
not many changes in employees will re-
suit
THE GENERAL PASSENGER AGENT.
Mr.. Thompson, the new general pas
senger agent OF the Southern California
road, will be here very soon now, and
will relieve MrsS. B. Hynes OF that por-
ton of his duties. Mr.. Hynes is un-
uuestionably one of the ablest railroad
men In the county, but he has been
handicapped heretofore by too much
work. ~ ~
The freight business represents two
thirds OF the business of the company
and is constantly increasing. This
branch alsoIrepresents more competition
than anv other department and requires
the keenest attention. The manage
ment has done we'll to relieve Mr.. Hynes
of the passenger part of the business,
and the result will be that he will in
crease his already phenomenal reputa-
tion as business getter. Mr.. Hynes
has the faculty of getting freight and
plenty of it, and of making warm friends
Of the shippers for himself and his road,
a fact that the management of the COM
pany fully appreciate.
ANOTHER SANTA FE CUT.
Passenger Agent E. w. McGee Of the
Santa Fe route yesterday stated that his
company had decided to make further
reduction on passenger rates between
this city and Chicago.
The cut this time is made on single
trip tickets, the rate on first class linn
tied being reduced to $53.25, and on
second class limited to $49.25.
AN ABLE ATTORNEY.
Probably the foremost railroad atlor.
ney of this country is Hon. George r.
Peck OF Chicago, general solicitor Of the
Santa Fe. Mr.. Peck was selected by
the various railroads to conduct the case
brought against them by the attorney
general OF Kansas for the alleged VIOLA
tion of the Sherman antitrust law.
Judge Riner some time ago at Cheyenne
decided in favor of the railroads, and
Mr.. Peck few days ago agsin argued
the case for the roads before the United
States court OF appeals at st. Paul,
whence 1t was taken by the government
on appeal from the decision of Judge
Riner.
The existence Of the various railroad
pools throughout the country are de-
pendent on the decision of the court
and the case is being eagerly watched
by the various railroad interests In the
United States.
BAEYERTz's BOY.
There has been a cut on eastobound
freight rates, but in so far az Chief
Clerk ]. T. F. Baeyertz is concerned he
does not seem to be affected. Mr..
Baeyertz is chief of the freight depart
ment at the Santa Fe depot in this city
and at O'Clock yesterday morning his
wife presented him with bouncing
nine-pound baby boy. Mother and son
are both doing we'll.
