Powell, reported for duty at the District building today. He arrived at about 9 o'clock and found State Senator Youmans of Sioux City, Iowa, waiting for him. Senatot Youmans was a next-door neighbor of Captain Powell in Sioux City, and the two had a pleasant chat before Captain Ressell arrived. In response to a question from Tue Star re- porter Capt. Powell said he had closed up his affairs in Iowa and was ready atany time to take hold of his new duties. He said he had never spent any length of time in Washington, but was certain that he would like the city. As to his new duties, of course, he could not venture an opinion. ' At any rate, he was willing to lend his best efforts to the capital city and would do his utmost to advance its interests. Capt. Rossell said he would probably leave the city for Boston next Friday, and would de- yote the intervening time to ‘coaching Capt. Powell in his new duties. He i that he felt regret in Jeaving Washington. The people had been most kind and considerate, and the press especially had rendered him ail the aid itcould. He would always cherish a warm place in his heart for Washington and remember the host of friends - a here. a Capt. Powell is a striking man an endowed with much of the a io that bas made Capt. Rossell such a favorite. He isa blonde with a ruddy complexion, of medium height, with a fine physique and a reddish beard of the Van Dyke cut. —_— DEATH OF HERBERT A, PRESTON.

Gen, Schofield,who is now acting as Secretary of War, has received a telegram from Gen. Me- Cook, commanding the department of Arizona, saying that in his opinion the published reports of trouble in the Navajo country were much ex- aggerated. All the necessary steps, he said.bad been taken to protect the people and quiet the Indians. The United States troops sent to the scene of the trouble are in command of Capt. Hunt,tenth cavalry, an officer of discretion and experience. es A London Bank Holiday. Yesterday was the regular semi-annual settling day at the Bank of England, and was therefore bank holiday.

BELIEVES IN ELECTRICITY. Capt. Jackson of the Chesapeake and Ohio rcanal notes several exceptions to the state- ments made by Capt. Hebbs in an interview a few days ago with a reporter for Tar Star. He believes that the towline and the . mule are back numbers and that the eiectric barge is the inland marine vehicle of the future. Two miles an hour is too slow to travel in this age of electric shocks. He thinks the trolley experiment on the Ene canal will be a success.
