Chicago, Jan. 10.-The Western Pas
Eenger association has a new row on its
hands and the chances are that It may
prove serious before the matter is fin
ally disposed Of For some time there
has been trouble between the Atchison
and the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf
over coal rates and the latter road as q
means of warfare cut the passenger
rates from Denver to Pueblo. Colorado
Springs and Trinidad about 60 per cent.
The reduced rates were prOmtly met by
the Denver and Rio Grande and this af-
ternoon the Atchison, receiving word
that the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf
had stocked the Denver brokers with
tickets at the reduced rate, promptly
made a rate TO equal that made by the
other two lines. The fight viii not af-
feet the AtchisOn nearly as much as it
will the Denver and Rio Grande, and
the blow is aimed at the former road.
Chairman Caldwell will endeaVor to
pour oil on the troubled waters TO NOR

association finally adjourned today af-

1t is Declared That Great Britain is Doing
Nothing Warlike There.

London, Jan. 10.-A letter to the Reu-

cember "a, says:
Colonel McInnis, commanding the
militia of British Guiana, with mag
istrate and a military officer, will start
for Uruan next week to select connect
ing stations from the coast to Uruan.
The journey takes from 16 to 80 days,
according to the state of the rivers.
There could be no fighting, as the Ven
ezuelans at any moment could take
any station. The Amacura post could
however, be reinforced IN twenty-four
hours.
THE suggestion IS made. in the event
of trouble, to reembody the disbanded
West Indian regiments, who are splen-
did fighters. The mud bar at the
mouth Of the river protects Demarara,
which would need little naval help.
There has not been the slightest
