No verifcation could be obtained yesterday OF
the report that negotiations were under way for
leasing the Manhattan Railway Company the
METROPOLITAN Street Railway Company. but Wall
Street is inclined TO give credence to the story.
The Manhattan is about to substitute electricity
for steam as motive power. and important econo-
mics could be effected 1t is urged by operating the
elevated and surface lines. both electrically
equipped, under a single management Moreover,
the belief is general that the metropolitan wnlcn
il controls all the surface roads Of this borough
has long had in mind the purpose of taking over
also the Manhattan, which II would operate in
harmony with its present short haul lines. -,
The rumor is that the Metropolitan, II II should
lease the Manhattan, would guarantee at the outset
nerhaps 3 per cent year the stock OF the latter
with a provision for increasing the rate to cor
respond with the expected increase Of the Man
hattan's net earnings under electrical operation
Manhattan at present pays per cent dividend

NEW NOTE TO THE POWERS
AMERICA APPEALS FOR MODERATION
FRESH NEGOTIATIONS BEGUN LOOKING
TO SETTLEMENT OF THE
CHINESE DIFFICULTIES.

CHINESE DIFFICULTIES
Washington. Nov. 23.-The Secretary of State
has addressed identical note to the Powers
interested in the Chinese situation. setting out
tersely and afresh the object Of the United
States Government to China. and pointing out
how such objects as are common to the Powers
car best be secured.
The note marks the initiation Of fresh negoti-
atoms on the part Of the United States on the
arrangement OF new bases to tide over the i'm
possible situation created at the last meeting OF
the Ministers in Picking. Some responses already
are al hand. and * is stated that generally the
American advances have been well received. and
The State Department expresses satisfaction
with the progress far achieved
II IS believed that the note is an appeal from
the extreme course suggested by some Of the
Powers as 10 the treatment Of China, especially
tn the matter Of punishments and indemnities
10 which the Ministers at Picking seem inclined.
The intent IS TO push the negotiations on a more
rational and businesslike basis.
THE POWERS AND PUNISHMENTS.
HOW THE MINISTER'S IN PEK1NG ARE
ALIGNED-RUssIA's CHANGE OF FRONT.
London. Nov. PA serious divergence has
arisen in Picking" says the Tien-Tsin corre-
spondont Of The Daily Mail" teegraphng
Wednesday. Japan the United States, Russia
and France favor demanding a milder punish
the others while Great Britain. Germany Aus
Hungary ana italy deem anything less than
the death penalty useless. An important de-
cision has been arrived at. however. that this
divergence is not to interfere with the general
peace negotiations.
Another remarkable feature Of the situation
Is the sudden volte face Of Russia who now de-
clnes either 70 withdraw her troops from the
Province Of Pe-Chi-Li or to hand the rail-
way, promised"

tone on Secretary Hays fresh note to the

the French proposals. 1t admits. however that
so far outsiders form an opinion the

With reference to WI Ting Fang's speech IN

commercial chances when peace is restored.

We would not advise Chinese Ministers in

proposal would be resented injury.
