4. cablegram to the Chicago Record
from Copenhagen says: The proposed
sale of the Danish West Indies to the
United States is still under considera-
ton in the folkething's committee on

proportions with the advent of the new
year has taken effect in the Twin City
Offices For several days the passenger
officials have been discussing the var
ious possibilities of reforming the rate
situation and yesterday some Of them
got together at the offices of the Omaha
and indulge in a little heart-to-heart
talk over the matters vitality affecting
their cases just at present
At this meeting were the following: A
B. Cults, of the Minneapolis & St. Louis;
Eugene Valentine, of the Burlington; G.
H McRae, of the Omaha; Herman
Brown, of the Wisconsin Central and
Joseph P. Elmer, of the Great Western.
The gentlemen stated that nothing OF
a definite character was accomplished at
this meeting, but said that the matters
had received quite full discussion. The
ultimate result of this conference viii
no doubt be the organization of a pas
senger association comprising the Twin
CITY roads; such an organization as eX-
listed two or three years ago. 1t is he
lieVed that through some such channel
lies the only permanent reform and
means of sustaining the proper condi-
tons necessary to a healthy business.
The failure of the former association to
meet the work required OF it, does not
discourage those now engaged in the
building up of the new association, for
they agree that with fidelity on the part
OF all the roads concerned there will no
doubt be no difficulty IN maintaining the
organization and accomplishing the OBJ
jects sought through its fundamentally.

definitely just what turn things have
taken at Chicago with reference to the

many other such things manufactured
by similar organizations; they involve
many features which no company, not
merely railroad company could grant

have become numerous enough to band
themselves together into an organization
