city passenger agents will sell tickets
from Chicago to San Francisco for s2o.
for the west bound trip: This bargain
sale Will CONTINUES until the close OF bust
ness Saturday night. The tickets are Is
sued on account Of the convention OF The
Young Peoples Society Of Christian En-
| daavor. which viii be held IN San Fran
! cisco July to u. inclusive. and II is es-
timated that from 1900 10 10000 excur-
sionists will be carried west by railroads
| running out OF Chicago
A large proportion OF these Christian
Endeavor excursionists will come from
| the east and they will begin TO arrive in
Chicago tomorrow. Reports from Cincin-
nati, 81. Louis. ST. Paul, Minneapolis.
New Orleans, indianapolis. Kansas City
and other gateways indicate that the
transcontinental lines will be taxed to
| their utmost capacity to carry the men,
women and children who will take adj
vantage Of the extremely low rates.
While an important proportion OF the
cheap tickets will be bought by tourists"
who are bona fide members OF the Chris
tan Endeavor association, passenger
agents say that the bulk Of the business
will come from men and women outside
of the society who have grasped the oo-
portuni;y made possible by the church
men 10 take part in what Is said TO be the
cheapest long distance excursion on rec
ord.
The distance from Chicago to San
Francisco via Denver is a trifle over $500
miles, so that the rate OF SIS from Chi
cago to San Francisco one way is less
than cent a mile. In addition to the
San Francisco excursionists there win be
q small army of other travellers, il the
estimates of passenger agents are proved
to be correct. The .ow rates put in for
San Francisco necessitated the making
Of corresponding low rates TO intermedi-
ate points. These are as follows: From
Chicago westbound, one way. no round
trip tickets to be sold. to Missouri river
points, $3.50; to Colorado common points,
such as Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs
etc. s12-50; TO Utah common points $40;
TO Grand Junction. Colo. s19. Tickets
for these points will be sold on the days
that Christian Endeavor tickets are eold.
WESTERN ROADS SWAMPED.
Chicago. June 2S.-The western roads
have come tc the conclusion that they
viii be about swamped with the amount
OF business TO the Christian Endeavor
convention in San Francisco. At the
time of making the rate the general opin
ion was that it would no: bring a large
amount OF traffic, but some Of the roads
are now in straits to get the necessary
equipments to ena BILE them to handle the
traffic. Severa, Of them have made urg-
ent calls upon their connections for all
the cars that can be spared, and every
thing OIL wheels that can be used will be
Utilized in carrying the business to San
Francisco. There is a large amount Of
general traffic that will take advantage
of the low rates 10 pay visit to the Pa
cifc coast. Notice was given today by
the Union, Pacific and the Rock Island
roads that they will use the reduced rates
made by the Great Western road from
Missouri river points to ST. Paul for bas-
ing rates in connection with business
from I. ans-Missoun river points to st.
Paul. 80
