The Chester Timos Of yesterday says:
The conduct Of some Of the conductors
Oh tho Chester and Wilmington trolley
limo Is matter which deserves attention
ut the hands of the management. Some
of the conductors seem to have an especial
spite against Chester passengers and sin CO
they have been placed on tho through runs
these ignorant fellows think they are
above being civil to passengers. Yester-
day well-known lady went to Seventh
and Kerlin streets to board one Of the cars
and as 1t approached raised her umbrella
to warn the motorman that shc wanted
him to stop. Tho car as that crews car
usually is, was late, and the motormnn
ran half way down the block past the lady
before he got his car stopped. As the lady
boarded the car the conductor crested her
with black looks and asked her why sho
did not signal the car to stop In rough
and unmannerly voice. When sho got up
to get off the car at Potter strset, without
any occasion for SO doing tho Ill bred col.
lector Of fares shouted loud enough to be
heard block, ''Get along now, step live
ly." Very unfortunately tho lady neglect
cd taking the fellows number, or no;ic-
ing the number Of tho car.
In returning few hours later, the same
lady had an experience with another con
ductor. At Parker street she told the con
ductor she wanted to get off at Kerlin.
The car had stopped and as q suggestion
that she ought to get off there and walk
the rest Of the distance the conductor
said, 'Woll madam, it Is only one square
farther Not understanding him she
kept her seat and the unaccommodating
fellow failed to stop hi, car at kerlin
street and carried the lady to the SWITCH
more than block out of her way.
This Is only one out of dozen similar
complaints which have reached the Times
concerning the action of employees OH the
through cars. The managers of tho line
are anxious to give people the best service
and undoubtedly would appreciate 1t If
their patrons would take noto OF the un-
civil and offending employees and report
them to the office. 1t is the only way that
they can be brought to book for their ac-

BRITISH VIEWS ON SITUATION.
London Papers Predict the Recall OF
General Otis.

London Papers Predict the Recall OF
General Otis.
London, July 20.-The Standard this
morning, in an editorial article re-
garding the resignation of Secretary
of War Alger, says:
President McKinIey's prompt ac-
| ceptance of Mr.. Alger's resignation Is
| equivalent to an admission that the
| war department has been badly man
! eged 1t is significant that the resig-
| nation followed SO quickly on the
! Manila correspondents round robin. Al
gerism is the great blot on the Nc
Kinley administration. 1t has given
the enemies OF the imperialist policy
the most effective weapon that could
have been forged, and President Nc
Kinley can wrest it from them only
by the appointment of successor
whose past commands confidence"
The Times describes the resignation
as "a decided victory for public opin-
ion and public morals over political
organizations. By resigning Secretary
Alger has practically allowed judgment
to go against him by default. and has
relieved the Mckinley administration
from responsibility that was as
suming very serious proportions"
The Daily News says: He might
have detied public opinion to the last,
but that Mckinley means to stand for
a second term and has to be on his
good behavior with the electorate"
The papers generally regard the
resignation as prelude to vigor-
GUS policy in the Philippines and the
recall of General Otis.
