Municipal ownership Of traction "a
cilides In London was substantially
extended by the London city council
recently when notice was served ON
the companies in the parishes Of Dept
FORD, Greenwich and Southwark, re-
quiring the surrender Of their fran
chlses embracing twenty miles Of tram
ways. COincident with this action, the
council announces its Intention Of avail
Ing itself hencefOrth Of its right to ac-
quire tram properties as fast as their
grants expire, with view to the public
ownership Of all lines in the county. 1t
Is said that the year 1910 will see this
accomplished. Meantime the systems
are being modernized throughout by
the substitution of double for single
tracks and Of electric-conduit power
for horse traction.
Mr.. Thomas Bentley Westcott, vice
chairman Of the highways committee
Of the city council, said to your cores
pondent tonight: "Public ownership
OF traction utilities is no longer a de-
bated question In London. What diff

the people, and the people are entitled

holds that the Hawaiian Islands,

CALL BUREAU, WELLINGTON HOTEL,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Sharp differ
ences Of opinion among the foreign
admirals at Taku regarding Ii
Hung Changes proper status we're
apparently the moving cause OF the
note of inquiry recently addressed
by the United States Government
to foreign powers as to accepting
the aged viceroy as peace envoy Of
the Chinese Government. Officials
will say little about the dissension
among the naval representatives OF
the powers. 1t is learned, however,
that on Thursday, Admiral Remey
sent word that conference of adj
mirals at Taku had been held, at
which the arrangements for the ar
rival OF Lii Hung Chang and the
privileges he should be allowed
were discussed.
A proposition was made that Ii
Hung should not be allowed on
reaching Taku to communicate
with the Chinese officials in Peking.
The proposition was acceptable to
most OF the admirals, but the Anne
rican officers declined to sign the
agreement. Whether the Russian
admiral signed is not known. but in
any event the Russian Government
promptly protested to the other
powers.
Admiral Remey's message was
considered by the Cabinet, which
entirely approved the refusal OF Ad-
miral Remey to be a party to any
such agreement. The note of in
quiry as to the attitude OF the
powers with regard to Changes &C.
ceptability as peace envoy was
formulated and sent out. The effect
OF the protests of the United States
and Russia has been to secure prac.
tically the unanimous disapproval
of the agreement Of the foreign ad-
mirals. Why the admirals should
wish to prevent Ii Hung Chang

in the interest of peace for the

General Miles Predicts Great War
in China,

CHICAGO, Aug. 3l.-General Miles,
who is Chicago, regards it as quite
possible that a general conflict OF
the powers may result from the con-
flictinR interests 10 China and he
believes that an attempt on the part
OF some OF the powers to partition
the Celestial empire among them
selves would be sufficient grounds
for the United States to resort to
force. General Miles also believes
that the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF China
would hold the possibility OF great
danger to the United States, in that
the time might come when the Eu-
ropean nations might turn their
covetous glances toward the riches
of America and be tempted to COM
bine against this country.
81 don't believe that the acute
stage Of the Chinese crisis has
passed." said the general. 81 believe
that it is possible that the conflict
ing interests of the powers will yet
bring on q general conflict, which
will involve all the civilized powers
in the greatest war OF modern times.
The danger arises from the chance
that some Of the powers will at
tempt the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Chinese empire. II the United
States and Russia succeed in acting
in harmony along the lines OF the
reported agreement proposed be.
tween them it may result in a peace
ful outcome from the present sltua
ton"
