Our stand Is Firm,

iS
The reply of the United States govern
ment to Chinas overtures of peace was
made public early in the day. showine
the firm and final position that had been
taken While expressing satisfaction a.,
this pacific step, the reply states that
Is evident that there can be no gen.
eral negotiation between China and the
POWERS" so long as the ministers and
legationers are restrained and in dan
ger. Then follows a specific statement
OF what the United States expect as a
condition precedent to a cessation of hos
tilities, viz: that body of the relief
force be permitted to ''enter Pekin unmo-
Tested" and escort the ministers back
to Tien Tsin.
IL developed during the day that the
reference to "the Powers employed in
'ne American reply, was not without a
distinct meaning. Exchanges between the
various Powers have been going on con-
stantiy, and as a result the officials had
the satisfaction of knowing late in the
day that the position of the United States
mad the approval and support of all the
great Powers. While this had not been
expressed in any formal manner by all
the parties, yet the exchanges in the
chanceiieries Of Europe, and through the
foreign representatives in Washington
mad made it positive that the Powers
were acting unitedy in approval OF the
course of this government.
Several of the foreign representatives.
including Baron Speck Won Sternberg. the
German charge d'affaires. and NJ De
Wollant, the Russian charge d'affaires
had extended conferences with Mr. Adae
during the afternoon. These added to the
assurances of unanimity among the Pow
ers. The presence of the Russian repre-
sentative was gratifying in clearing away
some misapprehensions, which was not
shared by the government here, as to Rus
sla's course in authorizing M. De Giers
to leave Pekin under Chinese escort. 1t
was pointed out that this in no way
brought about a difference between the
attitude of Russia and that of the other
powers, s all were acting on the theory
that the Chinese government must first
give an absolute guarantee for the safety
OF the ministers. 1t seems evident that
this absolute guarantee cannot be given
by China. unless ii allows the international
forces to enter Pekin. so that in effect
the Russian position does not differ ma
terialiy from that of the other powers.
AT least Russia is included among those
who fully approve the course taken by the
United States

Ruling i'm Riverside Construction
COmpany's Sultan Ejectment
suit-Other Court Cases.

Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, yes
terday, in ruling on the petition of the
Riverside Construction Company for
writ of mandamus to compel City Con-
troler Johnson 10 honor warrants issued
by the Park Board for payment for the
construction of a dam and roadway at
Riverside Park held that the City Council
must Inappropriate the funds paid into the
city treasury by the street-car company
before the money can be used for that pur-
pose. The Park Board asked that the
$4,000 annual payment of the street-car
company be drawn upon TO pay the war
rants. City Controller Johnson refused
payment on the ground that the money
could not be used unless specifically APP
propriated by the Council. Judge Carriers
decision sustains Controller Johnson in his
contention.
Soon after the decision Charles f. Cof-
fin, representing the construction company,
filed a suit in Judge McMasters court
against the city of indianapolis for S23,-
due for building the dam and roadway.
Deputy City Attorney Bell entered an an
pearance, and the suit will be heard this
morning. vist
The CRY does not deny the liability of
payment for the bill, but the suit will de-
termine the question that has caused the
Park Board and Controller Johnson TO lock
horns. The city is DESTROYS of getting

FIRST DISTRICT NAMED
WHERE HOME HEATING AND LIGHT
ING COMPANY WILL OPERATE.
Work VIII Not Begin Until Next Year,
HOwever-Other Munfci-
pal Affairs.

The Board of Works yesterday had bust
ness with the hot water. steam heating
and street car companies. The board named
and Lighting Company may locate its first
plant, a question that has been under con-
sideration for many weeks The district is
as follows: The south boundary will fol-
low the north line of Eleventh street west
from the center of Delaware and the north
line of Twelfth east from the center of
Delaware. The north boundary will be
Twenty-second street, the east the first
alley west of College avenue and the west
boundary the first alley west of Illinois
street. In this district, as the contract
provides. there are at least 500 residences
and it is one mile square. This is the most
densely populated part of the residence
district of the city. The board will not per-
nit the company TO start work this winter.
as the improved streets must not be torn
up during the cold weather.
Charles \. Dale, of the company desiring
the steam heating franchise, was again be-
fore the board wanting permission to es-
tablish trial plant in Morton Place within
sixty days, but the board would not grant
the request, as no company will be al
lowed to tear up the streets this winter.
The board will accompany Mr.. Dale on a
tour of Investigation as soon as there is
zero weather.
The board took up the question of grant
ing the Indianapolis Street-railway Com
pany permission TO extend its College-ave-
nue. line in order TO meet the Union Trac-
ton Company interurban line to the city.
The board granted the company permits
sion TO lay double tracks on College ave-
nue. from Twenty-seventh street to Twen-
ty-eighth street and north to Thirtieth
street The board will have to use Suther-
land avenue, and as part of the street is not
laid out the company claims 1t will secure
private right of way from the property
owners.
The board received protests from L. f..
Norton and II. Nj. Mason, of Irvington.
against the amendment of the interurban
franchise as recommended by the Council
committee. providing that the interurban
lines be allowed 10 charge 5-cent fares for
city passengers. The irvington residents
use the Greenfield cars and object to pay
ing straight scent fares. The board and
COUNCIL committee on contracts and fran
chises will probably hold joint meeting
next week and try to arrange the interur-
ban franchise an equitable basis.
Councilman Evans notified the board thar
the street-car company was hauling heavy
freight cars over the West Indianapolis
bridge. The street commissioner was noti-
fed to investigate.
Steel Company representatives next
Wednesday regarding the removal of the
company's switch on Capitol avenue.

Rumors of dropping soliciting passenger
and freight agents, which would include
the travelling men in such positions, are
no longer heard. Business is so good that
such employees, especially in the freight de-
partment, are kept busy furnishing the
facilities for moving business. At present
there are more men on the road and at
railroad centers soliciting business and
looking after the wants of the travelling
public and shippers than at any former
period. This class of men employed by
the roads are among the brightest and
shrewdest in any line of business. They
must be apt and affable their judgment of
human nature must be keen and they are
expected TO watch all prospective travel
and shipment of freight. During the
month, aside from this class of employees
of local lines, there are fifty or more
freight and passenger agents who visit
Indianapolis monthly, many OF them every
two weeks, and all look upon Indianapolis
one of the best points TO secure bust
ness. While freight business at the pres
ent time is limited to the cars that can be
supplied, the times are so prosperous that
the coming winter promises to be busy
one for passenger men,

MEANS FAIR COMPETITION
AN UNDERWRITING MAINTENANCE OF
FREIGHT RATES SOUGHT.
Large sums of Money to he Expend-
General and Personal Mention.

s. NJ Provost. third vice president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
director of the Baltimore & Ohio and
president OF the Baltimore. Chesapeake &
Atlantic Railway, which two years ago
vas bought by the Pennsylvania, is the
first Pennsylvania official to give reasons
for the alliance between the two great
trunk lines. When asked why Mr.. Green.
another vice president of the Pennsylvania,
had also been elected a Baltimore & Ohio
director at the stockholders meeting last
Monday, Mr.. Provost said the object of
the Pennsylvania in acquiring sufficient
stock in the Baltimore & Ohio to entitle it
10 representation in the directory was the
maintenance Of rates. Continuing. Mr..
Provost said: Competition in rates be-
tween the two companies is at an end
In answer to another question he said, I'm
part: This mutually in the interests OF
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore &
Ohio companies, by which is meant mu-
tuality of the interests of the owners of
the two companies, was not brought about
with the preconceived idea of an advance
in rates. Far from it; the object in view
was to secure a stability in rates. But
another and. to the public, more i'm
portant object is accomplished. 1t is the
establishment of an equality in rates"
Mr.. Provost further said that Mr.. Tweed
became a member of the Baltimore & Ohio
directory as representative of Speyer &
Co., who are largely interested in the
Southern Pacific, as well as in the Balti-
more & Ohio. and that there was no imme-
date prospect of the creation of a con-
tinuous line from the Atlantic TO the Pa
cific coast.
Concerning shrinkage of the grain trade
of Eastern ports Mr.. Provost said: ut is
due in part to the competition OF the gulf
ports because of the shorter haul and also
to the transatlantic steamship rates from
the several ports. The gulf ports are nearer
some of the Western wheat fields than
We are. 1t only follows that lower rate
goes with a shorter haul. Then. too, the
gulf ports are able TO offer cotton as well
as grain to make a complete cargo
