NfWSOF THE RAILWAYS
A. REDUCTION IN, RATES, 10. FAR
EAST POINTS
The Southern Pacific Still Shuts Out
the Ogden Route-Glendale to
Have the Electric Road

The railway rate war continues but slow
~, though there are indications that the sit
uation as becoming tenser, not as regards
the Pacific roads, for the Southern Pa
eihc and Santa Fe are working togeter
in perfect harmony, and there is no rea-
son to anticipate that there will be any
differences between these two lines.
Both of these companies yesterday an
nounced that they had put into effect a
rate of $5455 from this city to New York,
Montreal and Boston, which about meets
the Canadian Pacific rate via Vancouver
and the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern's rates via the Shasta route. This, like
all of the cuts so far, applies only to second
class tickets, and only over the following
routes with the Santa Fe: To Montreal,
over the Grand Trunk; to Boston, over the
Grand Trunk, Central Vermont and Boston
and Maine lines, or Grand Trunk, West
Shore and Fitchburg; to New York, over the
Grand Trunk, Lehigh Valley, Nickel Plate
and West Shore, or the Nickel Plate and
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western.
So far the flrst-class travel has not been
affected by the competition of the northern
roads, ad SO long as the balance remains
at all nearly even these rates will not be
touched, as they are too profitable to take
chances with.
The Ogden Route Shut Out
The Southern Pacific up to late hour
yesterday afternoon had not consented to
any change in the routing of eastbound
passengers by the reduced rates which
would permit of their taking the Ogden
route, for this would cut in too much to the
mileage proportion taken by the Southern
Pacific on the southern and northern
routes. Mr.. Wadleigh, the general pas
senger agent for the Rio Grande Western
is now in San Francisco, trying to get Mr.
Goodman to let his line into the divide, but
to do this the Southern Pacific would lose
50 where it now makes that amount, and
there is hardly much chance of success
for Mr.. Wadleigh. There is another point
to consider, which is that no railwayman
belives that the present rates are the limit.
The Canadian Pacific is morally sure to
make another slash at almost any moment.
and then there will have to be another re-
arrangement Of pro rates and mileage be-
tween the different lines.
The Glendale Road
1t is probable that the people Of Glendale
will have their electric road at last for the
committee has succeeded in raising the
bonus Of $500 asked by the Terminal COM
pany before it would consent to change the
motive power on it's branch to that place
from steam to electricity. The time limit
given by the Terminal in which this sum
was to be raised expired some days ago,
but it is thought that the company will
accept the proffer just the same.

for last week The total amount of the
various funds is S442, ,595.S4, against S44S,
0624l of last week.
The general condition of the city's fin
ances is better than it has been for several
months owing to the large apportionments
being made each week from the tax of 1898
99 The city tax collector turned into the
city's treasury last week S42,5S3.35, which
represented the full collections of his office
for the week just ended.
During the week the auditor apportioned
$4,000 from this years taxes, making the
total for the year 900. In spite of this
large amount, there is shortage in many OF
the accounts. The list is as follows:

many were of Importance, there was one
matter OF considerable note to certain en-
ployes of the city which the committee
failed to reach, even for discussion At last
Mondays meeting of the council the much
tangled matter OF allowing the claims OF
Assistant City Attorney Thomas and Assist
ant City Engineer King for extra service,
and also that OF increasing the salary OF these
officers and that of Assistant Clerk Has
kns, was submitted to the finance commit
tee. The instructions were that the finance
committee ascertain the legality of the coun-
ellis intended action, which was to adopt a
salary ordinance and date it back for sew
eral months.
1t was first intended to send the matter
to the city attorney, but later, on motion OF
Councilman Toll, it was ordered sent to the
finance committee. 1t so happens that MIR.
Toll is a member of that committee, and as
he on the floor of the council chamber was
in favor OF granting the requests of King
and Thomas, but against the full measure,
which included other employees, 1t might be
supposed that having the matter in his
power he intended to keep it there for some
time. At all events neither Mr.. Toll nor Mr.
Mathuss, who formed the finance commit
tee yesterday, Mr.. Grider being absent, pre-
sented the matter for consideration. 1t may
have been an oversight or, perhaps, with the
press of election business, time for the proper
consideration of this important measure
could not be spared.
1t is expected that Councilman Nickel,
who was not with Mr.. Toll on the matter at
the last meeting of the council, will on Mon
day request the president to call for the
finance committees report on the subject. 1t
is also anticipated that the report will not be
Forthcoming.
Another salary claim discussed was that
of Major George A. Nolan, ex-clerk of the
board of freeholders. Major Nolan's claim
was for SlS3 fol- extra work performed while
in the service of the freeholders. This de-
mand was recommended as the matter had
been favorably acted upon by the council at
its last meeting.
The petition of Easton, Eldridge & Co.,
asking for return of 1920 paid by petit
tioners in redemption of two lots in Menlo
Park tract from erroneous tax sale of 1897
9S was favored. The committee will recon-
mend to the council that it be allowed, and
that demand be drawn upon the tax fund
of 1898 for the amount.
William Hogate's request to be allowed a
rebate of 1855, being excess taxes paid for
the year ls9S-99 upon five and half acres
on the south side of Downey avenue, was ap-
proved. 1t appears that the excess charge
was made through a clerical error.
The committee recommended the request
made by Tax Collector J. H. Gish that Ed
son Hazen be allowed to redeem lot 10, w.
V. Keller's tract, from the tax sale for de-
linquent taxes of 1s97-9S upon the payment |
of the original amount of the tax

1881 at Thebes, among them that of Queen
Is En- Kheb, which was found wrapped in
magnificent funeral tent, brilliantly col
ored and made Of gazelle skin, which is much
like morocco, except that it is finer. Dr.
Fletcher explained that it was the early
Egyptian custom among royalty and the
Weather class to carry the dead in state
in boat similar to gondola, across the
Nile to Thebes, where the bodies were
wrapped in the funeral tent and placed in
the beautiful temple of Tbebes. Into the
heart of every mummy is put beetle OF
kheper, which signifies Immortality. The
lecture was beautifully illustrated by rep
resentative pictures OF Egypt and her anti
quities with the aid Of the stereopticon. The
pictures were much enjoyed, as they had
been excellently taken, the artist not al
lowing them to look fiat for want OF light
and shade.
