YOKOHAMA, April 23.-It is officially de-

terms of the treaty of peace with Japan,
are placed under Japanese control. The
stipulation says on the payment of the first
two installments of the indemnity to be
paid by China, Wei-Hai-Wei might be
evacuated, provided China pledges her Gus
tens revenue, in order to insure the pay
n.ent of the balance due This, 1t is add

AT present there is no intention of touch

less placing it under the control Of Janan.

ident of the Belt line railroad by Secretary
Tindall:
THE Commissioners direct me to trans
nit to you the inclosed copy of an opinion
rendered by the assistant attorney for the
District. concerning the lexington and
Soldiers Home and the Belt line railroads.
and to notify you that they have instructed
the attorney for the District to proceed to
act in accordance with that opinion. rela-
tive to the illegal occupance of the streets,
ard have written the Attorney General of
the United States, calling his attention to
the disregard of charter requirements men
toned in said opinion.
1t wo I'D appear from what goes ahead,
however, that Mr.. Schoepf has taken time
by the forelock and has met the
requirements of the Commissioners.
This, however, does not settle the
transfer question, and that is still open.
If it should be that the residents of the
neghborhood where the changing of horses
is now carried on complain of the arrange
ment as a nuisance and the complaint
Should be sustained. it is quite likely that
the company may be driven from pillar to
post in effort to locate. This would
seriously damage the present transfer sys-
TEN and might lead to its abandonment.

The Future Motive Power.

'In answer to your question about the
permanency of the present arrangement, 1
have only to say that it is to be permanent
as long as the road is operated by horses.
The time has now come, l see very clearly,
for the road to change its motive power.
1t is as plain as day that we cannot hope
to live as a horse road while there is a
rapid transit road on each side of us. Rapid
transit must be adopted or the road is a
loss. What, then, is to be done? A cable
is utterly impracticable. The road is so
crooked that it is even worse as far as re-
CARDS a cable, than the F street line.
THE system must be based on electricity.
We have tried our best TO get permission to
use the overhead trolley and have failed
1t is now question as to which of the un-
derground electric systems will be best
adapted to our needs We are Watching
the work that is being done the Metro
politan line, now on 9th street, and later
to be done on + street. and We are deter
mined to profit by the experience of that
road. 1t is folly for us to go ahead now
and change our system on a speculation,
while our neighbors are going to the ex-
pense of making what is practically an ex-
pertinent.
Suppose the 9th street line costs mil
lion dollars. We can afford to lose a few
dollars each day running horse road
while watching the outcome of the expert
ment, rather than waste, perhaps, mil
lion of dollars in trying that experiment
ourselves. You see l am not accepting it
as demonstrated fact that the under
ground electric road is a success. There
are many railroad experts in the world
who declare that IL is not success, while
there are just many, and perhaps just
as able men, who insist that it has proved
itself to be success. So, it is really vet
an open question. While it is an open
question we believe it better policy to let
thpe other fellows do the experimenting,
while we profit by their experience.
The Trolley Abandoned.
II am free to say that we want to change
Our mode of propulsion, and that the
chance of our getting the trolley is gone.

by those very high in authority that we

part of the authorities to condone or per-
nit unlawful acts will meet with deserved
condemnation.

Spanish Ministry Changes.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The organ
izaliOn of the new Spanish inlSrry
formed today is being watched with in
terest by officials and diplomats here
owing to the direct and speedy effects it
will have on affairs between the United
Stats aud Spain. Official adviCeS
received here state that every member is
conservative. The effect of this will be
far sweeping in the change of officers, in
Guiding foreign ministers, and the adOp-
ton of a new policy Of foreign and do
nestle affairs. IL is known that the en-
tire diplomatic service of Spain, with
three exceptions, will be changed The
executions will be the embassies Of Ber-
lin, st Petersburg and the vatican.
Another change sure to follow will be I'm
the captain genrral>hip of Cuba. 1t is
expected here that the new captain gem
eral will share the radical sentiment Of
the new ministry. which is said to be in
favor OF crushing the revolution in
short order. This oeing the first day Of
the new ministry, the reply to the United
States on the Alliance case is not expect
ed.Uo, or had it come up. up to late hour.
Il is thought, however. TO be one of the
first subjects which will engage the
ministry.
