DIR. Powell I'm London

A letter was received here Thursday by
j. O. Powell from his son. DR.. b. j., who
has arrived in London after q pleasant trip
across the big pond. The Doctor has al
ways been an ardent student OF piscicul-
ture, and spent the first few days out from
New York feeding the fishes on sundry
foods and liquids gathered in various parts
Of the United States ; q. least this is a fair
inference from the tenor Of that part Of his
letter. The latter part Of his ocean trip
was spent With more becoming dignity and
was more perfectly enjoyed. He is rapidly
acquiring a working knowledge Of the

Transcontinentai Roads Can't Help the
klondike Rate smash.

Chicago Jan. 19.-It Is likely that
meeting of the Western Passenger asso-
citation Will be called in the near. flu
ture to consider the question of rates
to Southern territory. The matter will
likely come before the meeting to be
held the latter part of this month,
when the question of Alaska rates will
be. considered in a general mass meet
ing. For the time being all efforts to
revive the transcontinenta passenger
association have been called off. 1t is
thought by the roads most interested
in the revival of the organization that
1t is useless to attempt to get the roads
again into working order until after
the settlement of the rates to Alaska.
If there is To be a fight over these rates
il is not likely that the organization
could prevent IL, and it's supporters say
that they do not care to form an organ
ization just for the purpose of showing
that IT, cannot do what il was organ
lied 10 do. After the Alaskan matter
is passed VT is likely the matter Will
be taken up again. All the officials OF
the Western roads are confident that
the decision Of the Nebraska maximum
freight bill now pending before the SUI
preme court of the United States Will
be in favor of the roads. They have
no information upon the matter but
say that they believe that the delay
in the handing down Of the decision
shows that the court sees no reason to
change the existing order of things.
and from this they argue that the
court will find that the present condi-
tionS i'm Nebraska are working no
hardships upon the shippers of the
state If he decision should be against
the roads there will be some very badly
surprised officials in this city.
