WASHINGTON, Sept. A very inter-
esting dispatch was received today at the
war department from Gen. Chaffee Ii
described the military situation as emil
nently satisfactory. and would have been
OF greater value but for the omission
common to all OF the other official dis
patches from China, namely. the date

However. taking into consideration the
fact that a cahlegram was received by
the state department today. dated 1--WE

clusion was reached that Gen Chaffee's
dispatch also was sent from Peking

stated here that Gen. chaffee had been

OF retiring from rekinR In the event OF

VIII Electric Light Wires.

The telephone and telegraph COM
panics must put their wires In under
ground conduits, IL the Board Of Elec-
trcal Control has its way. That board,
of which Mr.. ]. a. Ridgewell is chair
man. met yesterday afternoon, and de-
termined TO again demand that these
wires in the business portion of the
city be taken off the streets.
The word again" is used advisedly,
for this Is not the first time this board
has ordered the wires Underground
One reason, it is said, why the board
has not taken steps to enforce this
order was that suit testing the right
OF city in these premises, though not
an exactly similar case that the Nor
folk problem presents, has been on
trial in Richmond. This case has been
decided in favor of Richmond and
while, as stated above. it Is not an
exactly similar case, 1t settles general
principle, IL is believed, upon which a
city can force wires to be put under
ground
The Board of Electrical Control will
ask the Councils to pass an ordinance
giving full authority for the enforce
ment of the order. 1t is the intention
of the board to clear the business por-
ton of the city, not only of the net
work of wires, but many Of the poles.
which are not regarded as ornaments.
The electric light company has asked
and has been granted a franchise to
run the electric light wires under
ground in the business section of the
city. and If any other electric light
franchise is granted, 1t Will be upon
the condition that it use conduits in
the central part of the city. Thus all
overhead wires. save trolleys, will be
done away with.
1t Is the intention of the Board of
Electrical Control to have the wires
put underground in that section OF the
city from the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk depot to the Norfolk and
western depot. and from Freemason
street up to Church, and up Church to
Queen street.
