The TROLLEY BXTEHSION
NEWS FROM THE CHESTER END
OF THE. RAILWAY DEAL.
The Chester ZINC has thls to say

The Chester Times has this to say:
Indications point 70 the fact that the
Wilmington extension Of the Chester
Traction Company will be built this
year. The survey was begun yesterday
by Engineer Walter Wood under the
direction of the company's superin-
tendent DR.. MacFayden, assisted by
the road foreman, Charles Rhoads.
The line of road was staked out from
the Marcus Hook end of the route to
the borough Line, thence to Claymont.
Surveyors have been over the Delaware
end OF the system and the route has
been practically decided upon.
Just how soon the construction of the
extension viii begin cannot be stated
but an officer of the company says that
it is desired to have the roadbed built
at the earliest possible day Asked if
it was probable that the road would
be built and in readiness for operation
by the end of the Summer, he said he
would not like to promise that, as
there were many questions to be taken
into consideration, and various obsta-
cles would likely be encountered
1t is believed that the Wilmington
extension will prove a popular and
UIOuNdJat. llOAlE1 IOults IL VIII Iun
through a pretty country, will carry
people to two popular resorts-Shell-
pot Park and Gordon Heights-whilt
the proximity of the Delaware river
will add to the comfort of the passen-
gers on hot Summer nights.
Very little, If any new generating
machinery will be needed at the Ches-
ter end of the system, as the Penn
street power house has three auxiliary
dynamos that are only used in cases of
emergency and these are sufficient to
furnish a high potential without in
any way interfering with the system as
now operated. The two extra engines,
which are of the Wetherill COrliss
type, are capable Of driving dynamos of
much greater generating capacity and
new engines would therefore be un-
necessary.

Senator Lodge wants immigration
restricted We wonder where Lodge
and his fellow-exclusionists would be
to-day II the founders OF our republic
had restricted immigration about a
century. ago? The most rabid advocates
OF restriction in the matter Of immi-

have been American citizens but for
immigration. AS a matter of fact, we
are all the descendants of immigrants

can who has a right TO stick up his

The Insurgents Attempt to capture the
City General Merritt Wants More
Troops for His Expedition-The Next
Expedition.

New York, June ia special cable
dispatch from Hong Kong says that a
battle for the possession Of Manila is in
progress today between the Spanish
forces and those of Aguialdo. Admiral
Dewey has promised to prevent a mas
sacre should the insurgents capture the
city.
The Spanish governor has been
notified that unless he withdraws the
price upon the head of h insur-
gent leader, A~guinaldo, he will get no
quarter. Otherwise the rules of civil
liZed warfare will be strictly adhered
to. AS a result of this price placed on
his head, three attempts have been
made to take Aguinaldo's life.
San Francisco, June 11.-Major Gen
eral Merritt wants more troops. He is
now in communication with Washing
ton on the subject and hopes to receive
! word within a few hours that addition
al forces have been granted him. Gen.
eral Merritt contemplateS leaving San
Francisco for Manila two weeks from
today and it is desirous that his expe-
dictionary forces shall precede him to
the Philippines. With the troops that
| arrived yesterday and today he has a
force of about 16, 900. 1t is a il that
during the past forty-eight hours the
governor general has been in constant
communication with the war depart
ment and he has finally demanded that
the full quota Of 20, 200 specified by him
be filled.
The steamer Centennial which was
! rejected by the government, will be re-
inspected, as her owners insist that she
is thoroughly sea-worthy, despite state
mentS no the contrary.

China are being loaded with supplies
and are expected to ibe ready for depar-
ture early next week. The Senator and
| the Morgan City are being fitted up for
the troops and both these vessels Will
| be ready by the end of next week.
The third fleet will probably comprise
! the Senator, the Morgan City, the
Ohio and the Centennial, If the latter
is accepted after re-inspection.
The work of organizing h engineer
and signal corps for Manila is proceed
ing slowly, as not enough men can be
found.
Major J. F. Bell, engineer officer on
! Major General MerriIt's staff, n chief
, Of the bureau of information Of the

3D.. ceived orders to leave for Manila on

The Anti-American Feeling in Ger
MANY.

Berlin, June 11.-Although the anti
American feeling continues here, the lat
est war news coupled with official warn
ings that such comments were endanger-
ing the commercial interests of Germany,
have compelled the newspapers to modi-
fly their ultra p~ro-Spanish sympathies,
and some of them are beginning to admit
that Spain is in a p~erilous condition.
The Deutche Zeitung says it thinks the
moment has arrived for diplomatic inter-
vention in regard to the Philippine is
lands, and adds: I'VE confidently ex-
pect the foreign office to act speedily
and energetically, as we cannot allow the
islands to pass into the hands Of Amer
ica."
The Vossische Zeitung says: I'm the
Philippines SPANS punishment for GEN.
euries Of misrule is imminent. The cruel
massacre of the patriot, Rial, and thou
sands of Tagals finds a bloody recon-
penSe."
The Vissische Zeitung is the first Ber-
lin paper to publish the reports of a spe-
cial correspondent sent to Tampa, Fla.
The Post, of this city, admits that
Spain's affairs have arrived at a criti-
cal stage and says: IF, in addition to
other misfortunes, the throne is upset by
a civil war, Spain would lose all the SYM
pathy. hitherto felt for her by the CONT
mental powers"
