A dispatch from Chicago says: In
line with the re~trenchment and the
consolidation movement now going on
among the railroads, it has leaked out
s~eriouscly contemplating withdrawing
all western representatives both freight
and passenger, after March LIST. 1t has
been the custom for years for zach line
to cover the territory in the west with
agents who solicit business. These
agents are located in all the principal
c%enters, including Denver, Salt Lake,
Helena, FIT. Worth and all the coast
cities.
The railroads argue that they have
all the business they can handle any
how, and there is no excuse for their
keeping up an expensive competition
in this territory, and by agreement all
will take their chances on the business,
allowing it to go as it p~leases. 1t is es-
timated that nearly 200 agents, whose
salaries equal $4,000 per month, will
be minus a job in a few weeks.
From the wording of the telegram
the only lines interested here would be
the Burlington, Frisco, Santa Fe, Mis-
souri, Pacific, Northwestern, Rock
Island, Maple Leaf, Milwaukee, the to-
tai number of men employed in these
offices being twenty-five.
Other agencies kept up are not to be
clasSed as for Lines east of the Mis-
souri, river" They are the Union Pa
ciic, Colorado and Southern, Denver
and Rio Grande, Colorado Midland and

EQUIPMENT.

Unusual interest is being taken in
the west over the handsome new equip
ment being sent out or the Union Pa
cific-Northwestern overland trains
from Chicago to San Francisco and
Portland. The luxury and elegance at
tadhed to travelling on those trains is
rather an innovation in daily service,
of which the travelling public is watch
ing the growth with pride.
Ten of the Pullman's very latest pal
acse on wheels have just been placed
in the overland service, and this num-
Der is being increased as rapidly as the
cars are being turned from the shops.
All are of a new model, which has not
yet appeared on the eastern roads.
In design, the wood work decorations
! are in the most delicate %parquetry.
The berths are about four inches wider
than usual, and the blankets are of
camel'5 hair. The drapings are OF
heavy silk, while the seats are finish
ed in deep blue embossed silk plush.
An empire deck in green and gold gives
additional height to the coach. The gas
lamps are set in recesses, giving a muc.I
softer fern of ILLUMINATION than usual.
In the ladies' dressing room is an in
n~ovation in the form of an empire
dresser with drawers. Great, heavy
plate-glass windows are an added feat
ure. In the corridors the Illumination
Is from handsome. oval, stained glass
windows. Throughout the interior III
fittings and conveniences are radically
different from the usual styles, and are
most novel and convenient in construc-
tion. The car, on account of its great
weight, is supported by additional steel
trusses and beams, and the platforms,
in exceptional large box design are built
of steel.
In addition, the Overland has
placed in service between Chicago and
Denver several new model buffet NJ
brary cars, now passing daily. both
ways, through Omaha. Each OF these
cars is handsomely finished. and con-
a choice library Of the works OF
standard authors, from which amy pas
sengers on the train may make seiec-
by library lists, by request to the
porter. The daily papers from me

tionery, etc. The buffet library system
Is also being extended by new pur-
chases.-Omaha World-Herald.
LARGER FREIGHT CARS.

Protests by the Omaha jobbers
against the possible increase in the
minimum weight of a carload from "a
600 to 10000 pounds, did not come as a
surprise to the freight men of the To-
cal railroads. A similar protest was
made by the Chicago wholesalers a few
weeks ago when the eastern trunk lines
established that minimum. The freight
men are not disposed to discuss the
matter at this time officially, because
they say the increase has not been
made, and until it is discussion would
be out of place. The traffic association
will meet in a few days, and it will then
be decided what to do in the matter.
One Omaha official, in talking of the
proposition, said: This proposed &C
tion is strictly in line with the spirit
of consolidation which is everywhere
prevalent in this country, among rail-
roads as with other lines of business.
1t is the desire for economy and the
better handling of a growing and en-
larging business. Railroads are buying
larger engines and larger cars. No
road nowadays buys a car of less than
$1,000 pounds capacity, and they run
as high as 10000 pounds. They con-
solidate two cars into one, two trains
into one, and pull them with one en-
CINE, instead of a double-header. 1t is
a measure to utilize idle capital. II
small loads are to be the rule, 1t is I'M
necessary to buy cars costing $500,
when $500 cars will answer the purpose.
1t would be foolish to put $500 into an
engine when one for Sc, 500 would do the
work.
This is a progressive age. This is
a growing country. 1t has ceased to be
a "a, Compound period. People are do
ing business on a greater scale. The
consumer is buying more goods. The
merchant is carrying larger stocks.
The wholesaler puts in bigger invoices,
and the railroads are preparing to carry
heavier loads. 1t is the natural conse-
quence of progress, and to oppose it is
to admit hat this section of the coun-
try is making no advancement
Rates are going down with the
prices of all kinds OF merchandise and
produce, and the difference between
rates for carload lots and less than car
load lots is not sufficient to make up the
waste space in their cars. In almost
every character of freight carried by
railroads the percentage of waste is
about one-third OF the cars space. The
present minimum is not a carload of
anything except hay, feathers and bird
cages.
1.-THE proposed new minimum will
not increase freight rates, but will re-
quire larger purchases. Merchants will
have to buy larger stocks, of course, but
this will be no hardship. 1t will not be
a burden in these times for a wholesal-
err to purchase in greater quantities,
and the retailer can postpone his order
a few weeks longer and then buy more
than he originally contemplated. 1t Is
simply establishing new conditions,
and when the business public becomes
accustomed totthem and shapes its af-
fairs accordingly there will be no cause
for complaint.''-Omaha Bee.
