ENGLISH ARE NOT HOSTILE TO
AMERICAN CAPITALISTS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-George Westing
house, who, on his returned from Eng
land yesterday, refused to discuss the
affairs of the District Underground Rail
way of London of which Charles r
YerkeS is in control, changed his mind
today. He said that in view of some
statements which had appeared In print
he thought the public might as well have
the matter straight; he then went on
to say that there were no differences be-
tween Mr.. Yerkes and himself, and that
Mr.. Yerkes has awarded to the British
Westinghouse company the contract for
3OOOO-horse power engines, and generators
for his Metropolitan District railway en-
terprise, and will require much more ap-
paratus the manufacture of which in
England will be advantageous to his in
terests.
On the question of certain spirit Of
hostility which, according to some Lon
don dispatches, is said to have develop
ed in that city against the American con-
troll Of the Metropos an District railroad.
and against the improvements on the
same by American mpanies, Mr.. West
inghouse said:
While it is true that some hostility has
been displayed, this does not amount to
much The people want the improve
ments that are now under way. and while
they might prefer TO have them as the
result of British enterprise, the are glad

UNFORTUNATE sCHLEY-SAMP-
SON CONTROVERSY
BATTLE WAS BRILLIANT ONE
Promotion of Sampson to Be Sue
cessOr of Admiral Sfcard Hurt
Officers Who Out
ranked Him.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 25.-Capt
James Mcqueen Forsyth, U. S. N, who
had charge of the naval station at Key
West during the Spanish-American war,
spent the day in Kansas City while en-
route from San Francisco 10 his home
at Philadelphia. To Times reporter
Capt. Forsyth talked of the Sampson
Schley controversy and that paper to-
morrow will quote him as saying,
while we have been instructed by the
navy department not to discuss the mer-
it's of the case, every one knows that
the navy looks upon the controversy as
an unfortunate affair. We believe there
was plenty of glory for all concerned.
THE fact that a junior man was placed
in command above his seniors is re-
responsible for the whole business" con-
tinued Capt. Forsyth Sampson was a
captain and the seventeenth ranking Off
Ger of the navy. No one ever thought
of him as the successor of Admiral ST.
card, and l don't believe he ever thought
of 1t himself, but he was familiar to the
people of Washington and they decided
to place him in command. OF course the
officers who oUtranked him did not like
it. 1t is not to be expected that they
would, but Washington said Sampson
and that settled the matter. Schley was
among the officers outranking Sampson,
and as he was thrown directly under the
juniors command he naturally felt the
promotion more than any of the others
The battle Of Santiago was one of the
most brilliant in history. Regardless of
who was responsible for such effective
execution there was glory enough for
both Sampson and Schley. The contro-
versy only serves to dim the brilliancy of
the victory and it is to be greatly de-
plored. That any one should question
the bravery of either of the men is par
ticuIarly unfortunate and believe wholly
unjustifed.'
Capt. Forsyth, who will be retired on
Sept. rs under the forty years service
act, has been associated with Admirals
Sampson and Schley at different times
during his long life in the navy. When
he left Key West he took command of
the battleship Indiana Later he was
chief of staff to Admiral Watson in
charge Of the Asiatic station, and for
several months was second in charge at
Mare Island yards at San Francisco.
Capt. Forsyth left here for st. Louis,
where he will spend few days before
proceeding to Philadelphia.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The only visible
result of the mass meeting of trades
unionists and sy.npathizers, held in South
Chicago today, was the declaration of
one skilled steel worker, Robert Collins.
that he would not again enter the mill
until the strike was settled. ONLY eight
of the steel workers, whom the meeting
was designed to reach, were present
Assistant Secretary Tighe, of the Anal
gamated association, was the principal
speaker. He denounced the former men,
bers of the association in South Chicago.
for deserving their union under the guise
of living up to a contract"
Mr.. Tighe contended that the contract
of the steel workers had been rendered
nugatory by the encroachments of the
steel trust, and that It was the dutv of
Chicago steel workers to join their fell
low unionists in the East in q battle
where, he said, the, very existence of tho
Amalgamated association was at stake.
Besides Mr. Tfghe, the speakers at the
meeting were James Bowman, president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor: s.
D. Nedrey, organizer of the American
Federation of Labor; H. ]. Skefington.

SUBLIME PORTE TURNS THEM

CQNSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 25.-M. Con-
stans, the French ambassador, sent
note to the porte last Thursday to the
effect that he would leave Constantinople
Aug. rs unless the French claims were

Thereupon Tewfk Pasha, the Turkish
minister of foreign affairs, called at the
French embassy and informed M Con-
stans that the porte had abandoned the
idea of purchasing the quays, first, be-
cause convinced that the purchase
would be bad speculation for Turkey
and, second, on account of the financial
difficulty involved, as the Ottoman gov
ernment had no hope that the Paris mar
ket would take up a loan to cover the
purchase.
M. Constans gave the Ottoman govern
ment until Monday tomorrow to issue
an trade granting the quays company
full rights and indemnity for the two
years during which the company had
been deprived of those rights.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 25.-In furtherance
of the peace" programme, which is said
to have been in the course Of preparation
fer several days, it was given cut TODAY
by one on the inside, and one who should
know, that the Amalgamated executives
have consented to have certain propdsi-
tions made to the officials of the United
States Steel corporation through members
of the conciliatory committee of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, which proposals
are expected to bring about q settlement
Of the great strike Those Interested in
the matter were in waiting all day today
for word to proceed with the programme
as outlined at the conference of Anal
gamated executives and the conciliatory
committee of the Civic Federation last
Friday.
The propositions, which are to be taken
to New York carry certain concessions
by the Amalgamated officials which, it is
hoped will pave the way for the re-
opening of direct negotiations between
the association and the company What
these terms are and the mode cf their
presentation are carefully guarded
secrets. There is the implication that
they contain concessions of such impor-
tance that those in interest expect the
corporation to drop it's adverse attitude
to reopen negotiations. The proposal con-
tains nothing looking to arbitration. This
mode OF settlement was waived on the
advice of the Civic Federation men.
While the conferees were discussing
peace plans the Amalgamated men were

triumph for France, more especially as
1t was believed that the sultan's obduracy

doubt as to whether France has achieved

this, thus securing the practical results
