two weeks session to-day. While moth

the meeting. IL is a~uthoritatively

in Asiatic rates. including all ports IN

made by the association. This will also
result in the putting up of transconti-

understood hat While the less than

rs to 40 per cen over existing
rates from New York, Chicago,

tically the same as the rates from the
middle West to the Pacific coast.
All rates to points in Asia are figured
from New York. Boston. Philadelphia,
Chicago. Milwaukee,, st. Louis and all

The general advance will be from 20 to
30 per cent. 1t was also decided at this
meeting to advance the through rates
to and from Great Britain and the con-
tinent and Asiatic territory on all COM
modities that usually go via the trans
continental rail lines across the United
States as against the Suez canal water
route, which is much the longer, and
requires much more time.

Scattered throughout the area OF
Great Britain are numerous towns and
villages of a curious character. One
large village actually consists of old
railway carriages. ever the little mis-
sion chapel being built out of four
large horse trucks. Another village,
with a population of LOO and q rata
BILE value Of 2s.000. has neither church,
chapel nor school. the only public edi-
fee being q pillar letter box.
Villages with a single inhabitant are
not unknown. At Skiddaw, In Cum

no overseer to prepare a voters list,
and no church or other public building

quite good enough for himself.

Sometimes whole villages will prac-
tically disappear. A little Shropshire
village has gradually sunk until now
IL is almost out Of sight. 1t Is built on
a disused coal pit. and the sinking
goes on steadily every year. Now and
then a lettering u Is propped up to
keep IL standing. but In spite of all
precautions buildings are constantly
falling TO the ground. and in course of
time doubtless nothing will be left but
a few bricks to mark the spot where
a village once stood.
There are plenty of deserted villa ges
throughout the country. A diversion
of trade into other channels is some
times sufficient to produce this effect.

Chicago. May 21.-Lyman z. Cooley,
the well-known engineer, who spent two
months OF last winter on the route Of
the proposed Nicaraguan canal, in an
interview says: "As q bluff, II nothing

Mr.. Cooley has studied the journey of
the battleship Oregon around South
America with OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
since, If the Nicaragua canal had been
completed, h Oregon might have been
with Sampson weeks ago, or, in an
emergency. any part of Our navy could
be dispatched to the Pacific coast with
the saving of thousands of miles of
journey.
Suppose" said Mr.. Cooley, that it
costs. at the least. S54. 900. 900 to con-
struct the canal, or at the most. $780,
000. 900, what would that amount to in
view OF the fact that at the present
moment every city on the Pacific coast
could be destroyed by a hostile feet be-
fore a battleship of ours could round
Cape Horn? When we could reach the
ruins of San Francisco the enemy would
be at Hawaii, and when we were there
they would be at Manila or safely at
home. The Spanish war and the Jour-
ney of the Oregon will awaken the gen.
-eral public to the necessity of having
the canal as nothing else could have
done. Once built the canal. from a
