\ meeting Of the milk shippers along
the line of the Wilmington Il Northern
II. r. was held yesterday morning in the
office of Freight Agent Briggs at Mary
land avenue station. The topic talked
over WAS relative to changing the route
for shipment Of milk. The route now is
a shipment to Elsmcrc and thence over
the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad to Philu-
dclphia. The proposed ronte talked over
is over the Wilmington & Northern to
Birdshoro, and thence over the Philad"l-

latter route is much longer and it places
the proceeds Of the freight in the hands
ofthe one railroad in place of dividing up
with the Baltimore Il Ohio, as now.
The matter was discussed at great
length by the majority Of the 70 shippers
present and the sentiment appeared to
he that they desired the most direct
shipment AS it was the most essential

American Proposal Withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE propo-
sition submitted by the president ID
transfer the negotiation of the questions
of indemnity and revision Of commercial
treaties to some other place than Picking
was designed to facilitate the conclusion
of the Chinese negotiations as whole by
separating those still requiring considera.
Bile deliberaton from those already deter
mined As some Of the powers do not
look with favor upon this separation and
others hesitate to decide the question the
president has deemed it advisable to.
withdraw the proposition and has direct.
ed the diplomatic representatives Of the
United States so to inform the governs
ments to which the proposition was adj
dressed. At the same time, desirina
above all else to avoid delay in the prog.
ress Of the negotiations, the president has
directed Mr.. Conccr to urge forwar
their completion at Picking. The othe,
governments also have been urgently re-
Quested to avoid all unnecessary delay in
completing the settlement of the Chinese
question.

myself start in turn. 1t was only a
look, Il glimpse one might say, and at u

newspaper, while | scanned the flying
country yainly striving to tear from it

But the hedgerows danced before me

terday indignation was expressed at the
action of certain members of the House
in voting for the return of the petition
Of Harvey ID. Learned, who contested
the seat of John l.. Scotch. the Demo-
crat, Of East Dover hunderd. The gem
eral opinion was that there was much
expression Of ingratitude in the way in
which some members of the House
voted. Upon Representative William II.
Film the greatest condemnation was
heaped.
The contention Of the Democrats be-
fore the House were also the subject
of much discussion. Relative to this
subject to alter, Mr.. Hayes said last
| night:

vides that each House in the General
Assembly shall be the judge of the cleo

| The first quanfication of Il member is
that he shall be elected, this being con-
stitutional provision no act of the Legis-

fore, the act quoted by Representative

rick Ncary, j. Ncwlin Gawthrop, and
Lieut.. w. Dew. Dimock, committee
from the Board of Trade had visited the
navigation coplmttee of City Council
at the Council chamber on Wednesday
night and urged upon them the import
ance Of speedy action in the matter.
Messrs, Oberly and Pierson of the navi-
cation committee were not present and
Patrick Neary Of the Board of Trade
committee called at the Council chamber
last night before the regular meeting of
Council to see them and present the
matter to them. Mr.. Ncary had
lengthy conversation with Mr.. Picrson.
Later the committee held a conference
Some of the committee favored heartily
endorsing the hill at once as desired by
the Board of Trade committee.
Others spoke so strongly in favor Of
delaying the matter and letting it come
up in Council first and being then ro-
ferrcd to the committee, that no vote
was even taken ON the matter.
In fact before the committee could
complete IFS work President Alexander
called Council to order and sent Baili(f

ton committee said that the committee
had no report to make.
Later Mr.. Cannon presented the draft
of the Board of Trades harbor bill. lie
moved that it be referred to the commit
tee on navigation.
Mr. Smith moved that it be referred to
the committee of the whole.
Mr. Cannon did not like this and said:
What is the use of having committees
il everything is to be referred TO the
committee of the whole. Let us do
away with committees"
Mr.. Smith said: "Ihis Is a serious
question and every member should he
enlightened on it. 1t is Il large expendi-
turc of money. I do not desire to take
anything away from this committee"
Mr.. Healy remarked that he thought
that the committee was well able to take
care of the matter.
Mr.. Cannon said that the navigation
committee had intended to invite the
members of Council to confer with
them on the matter.
Mr.. Smith. upon hearing this. said
that he would withdraw his motion. Mr..
Cannon's original motion was then car.
ricd.
Mr.. Fisher then asked when the COM
mittce would consider the hill Int re.
ccived no answer. He added that II
