SPECIAL TRAINS EXPECTED IN TODAY Tlioiminilx Coin I UK to Omiilin to At- icnil tli < > Convention of Hie People that Hie delegates to the annual convention of the Young People's Christian union ot the United Presbyterian church are gathering In the city at a rapid rate. The conven tion docs not open until this evening , lint the advance guard Is In the city and nearly every train brings delegations from various points. The rush will not com mence until today , however , when the Rlrangcrs will pour Into Omaha alt day In a manner that will crowd the capacity of the union depot. The local committee Is flooded with reports of large delegations coming from all points ot the compass and these delegations arc assigned to quarters In accordance with their desires as to price. Some of the largest delega tions , however , have simply sent word of the probable number coming , without giv ing any of the details required by the local committee and these cannot bo assigned until they arrive. About a dozen clerks arc kept busy In the rooms of the local committee , making assignments of delegates , , , and an Idea may be gained from that fact of the magnitude of the work. From all Indications there will bo about C.OOO dele gates in attendance at the sessions of the convention. The Colorado delegation will arrive on a special train over the Union Pactllc this morning. This will bring delegates from all parts of Colorado. The Colniado people were expected yesterday in order to attend the meeting of the Nebraska synod last night , but word was receded In the morn ing that the train would not leave Denver until night. The Kansas delegation ar rived last c\cnlng at 0:10 : o'clock , on the I ) . A M. road. A special train on the H. & M. from the southwestern part of Nebraska will arrive about 11'30 this morning with about 230 delegates. A special train will arrive over the Rock Island at noon today with a large delegation from I'lttsburg and vicinity , making the run from the smoky city In twenty-six hours. The train wilt consist of five cars and will do uornc fcst lunnlng over the Rock Island. Another special train from Plttsburg will arrive over the Burlington at 2 o'clock this afternoon , with delegations from I'lttBUurg , Philadelphia and other Penn sylvania polntc. At the same time the Burlington will bring in another special , being a train made up at Burlington , la. , of sections from St. Louis , Chicago and points In Iowa and Missouri.

The program prepared for the convention by the general committee fills In all of the time of the delegates , commencing this evening and lasting until Sunday even- Ing. The only time allowed tor recreation or social pleasures by the program is on Saturday afternoon , when an excursion will be run from this city to Blair , Arlington , and thence around by South Omaha and the stock yards. It Is probable , however , that arrangements will be made for a num ber of side trips after the delegates arrive and express their desires In that dlicctlon. It has also been practically decided to pro vide some ,8o'rt of entertainment tor > the general committees for Monday ot next week. Arrangements * IIAVO been made by the local committee to provide for "overflow" meetings In Crelghton hall and In Kountzc Memorial church , so that all who wish to como may bo provided for.
