NEXT ISSUE. issue for the party
of fusion and
fallacies, in the early summer of 1904,
will be the third nomination for the
presidency Of "the peerless populist' of
whom Gumshoe Bill, of Missouri,
said:
"When this young eagle of ours bore
aloft the stainless flag of true democracy,
we were proud of him; when he
screamed his defiance all the mighty
forces of oppression and wrong allied
against him, trembled with alarm"
The allied wretches need a few more
tremors. The wicked combine of voters
which defeated the screaming eagle in
1900 have earned the penalty of more
tremulous alarm for 1904 and The
CONSERVATIVE hopes the punishment
may be repeated. Let the stainless flag
sail once more the stainless skies in the
vocal beak of the screaming young
eagle.

organized street railway lines in all our
large cities are the cleanest and best
operated in the world.
WHAT interests American most about a
tube is the fact that it is similar in model
to the underground railway now under
construction in New York BY the way
1 have met one American who was very
much disappointed to find that the tube
was really not a tube at all, but a tun-
mel She had the notion drawn from its
name, that 1t was something like pneu-
matte tube, through which passengers
were shot to their destination. When she
got into a railroad car and was trundled
along over prosaic rails at about the
speed of an elevated railroad train in
New York she was very much disappoint-
ed.
1 took my first ride on the tube from
the Bank of England station. There is
an opening in the pavement directly ep-
posite the Bank of England, and a flight
of steps leads to a floor one story below
the street level, on which are the ticket
offices. You pay two pence -four cents
for your ticket and pass through a gate,
where you drop the ticket into a box
The familiar ticket chopper of the New
York Elevated sits there and destroys
the tickets as they fall. Past the ticket
chopper you enter through a doorway
what seems to be an octagonal waiting
room with seats around the sides. When
| this waiting room is full, a uniformed
attendant closes the door, and to your
surprise the room descends. 1t is in fact
very large elevator. 1t takes you to the
floor below where you step out on the
| platform where the trains stop
The stations Of the tube are very clean

Inc cars are arranged like the elevated
railroad cars in New York They are far
superior to those cars, however, in point
OF upholstering, etc. Along each side
are well cushioned seats separated bv

cars are Two cross seats on each side OF

are not fortunate enough to secure seats

The curse of advertising is on this line. a s
1t is on everything in London But at
least the advertisements are not made
extensively conspicuous. They are in the
curve of the ceiling just above the win
dows and occupy uniform spaces from
one end of the car to the other.
The cars are controlled by guards who
open and close iron gates at each end as
the train stops at a station and starts
on its journey again. These guards are
neatly uniformed and they are polite.
The system of this road is far superior
to that of the Metropolitan Underground
IN Paris, which is about as ilI-manage
an institution as 1 have known On that
line the doors of the cars are situated in
the side of the cars and a short distance
from the end, and there are no guards
to control the movements of the passen-
gers. In the rush hours, therefore, there
is fearful crush and much battering

London he VIII tap a new district not
served by the present subterranean
roads There is no reason why he should
not be as successful in the operation of
his company as the Tube people have
been with theirs, for however large the
number of means of transit in London
there always seems to be an increasing
traffic to the limit of their capacity. The
resumption of business by the Thames
steamboats, this summer after sus-
pension for several years found enough
travellers to crowd the boats at all hours
of the day and apparently without
diminishing the business Of the railway
and omnibus lines. The statistical Of
ficer of the London county council
furnished me recently the latest statis-
tics of the local traffic OF London. They
are compiled to 1898, and they show for
that year 1851. 500 900 passengers carried.
of whom 475,0O0,O00 were carried by the
railway; S12,50O,000 by tramways, ana
480 600 blu omnibuses.
The same statistics for 1894 Snow A.
100000 passengers carried by railways,
213,5000C0 carried by tramways and 3d.
100000 carried by omnibuses. The dispro-
portionate increase in the omnibus traf-
fic is a fair evidence Of the unpopularity
of the underground road.
The Englishnan is extraordinarily con-
servative. What was good enough for
his father is good for him. He does not
believe in interfering with established
institutions. For this reason and be-
cause of a certain native pride he resenrs
the intrusion Of Americans into his do
nestle affairs. For this reason l think

Strangers who visit London are amazed
to find an enormous proportion of the
citys local traffic handled by omnibuses.
There are no street railways or tramways
in the heart of London The enormous
traffic of the business and shopping dis
tricts is carried above ground by double
decked omnibuses drawn by two horses.
The fare on these buses varies with the
distance, beginning at a minimum Of
penny or cents. Below the surface Of
the city are several underground roads
and the Metropolitan system circles Lon
don, criss crosses London and runs far
out into the suburbs. Yet so great is
the extent of the city and so great the
traffic handled that no one of the under
ground lines reaches more than small
proportion of the points to which intend
ing travellers might want to go and there
fore the bus traffic is as great as the
lines can handle.
The Central London railway goes in
practically straight line from the Bank
of England to Shepherds Bush With
the exception of the Bank of England
terminal. its stations are on the surface.
They are one-story buildings OF stone,
occupying building lot space on conspicu-
Gus street corners. They are equipped
with waiting rooms, news stands, ticket
offices, etc The Metropolitan road also
has its ticket offices On the surface, but
they are narrow, dingy, dirty places, i'll
kept and Ill smelling. Unlike the Tube
the Metropolitan charges a fare gradu-
ated by the distance.

politan District Underground in London,
which is planned after the fashion of the
English railway car, being divided into
compartments, each compartment having
a ooor which opens directly on the plat
as on some of the foreign railway
coaches, there is communication between
the compartments, but this is excep-
.tional
The ventilation of the Tube is perfect.
The air in the cars is fresh and pure;
SO is the air in the stations. In this re-
spect it is in remarkable contrast with
the Metropolitan underground. That road
is not an underground for it's entire
length. There are frequent openings
where the cars run through cuts. Never
theless, the tunnel is at all times full
OF smoke and CRIME and the cars are
so full of coal gas that 1t is sitting. The
alternative is a closed window and suf-
fecating foulness of air. Everything
about the Metropolitan is dirty The
equipment is old and the platforms and
stairways are so badly worn that they
need renewal. There is a general air of
shabbiness about tie line which is often
sive to the traveller. The smoke condi-
lions will disappear, of course, when the
road is equipped with electricity, which is
now only question of time. 1t was
thought at one. time c. t. Yerkes. of New
York, would get control of the road and
install the American system now in use

tenn is adopted, it will at least be free

OF subterranean transportation is profit

1t has been to Londoners a revelation in
American methods. To be sure, the tube
is a London institution. The Central
London railway is its title. 1t is backed
by English capital and operated by Eng
lishmen. But the electric traction is all
American and the uniform fare and the
uniformed ticket taker are both strongly
suggestive of the New York elevated
road. The general cleanliness of every
thing connected with the line is again
American rather than British. The re-

Delegate Stanton stated that some
one of the Assembly had accused him
Of having written an anonymous let
ter, which was read at the previous
meeting, charging that the Assembly
had resorted to ring tactics in the cleo
ton of officers. This charge Mr.. Stan
ton pointedly denied, and declared that
the plaintiff in the case owed him an
apology He stated in conclusion that
he realized that the delegate he nomi-
mated was not eligible for Office at the

that he was perfectly satisfied with
the Assembly's selection of officers.

to the national convention of miners

other things that the settlement effect
ed for the ensuing year was on basis
similar to that of last year. with the
exception of a few minor details, which
were changed in favor of the miners.

Prince Chun Apologies to the X aiser
for the Murder of Won kette;er.

Potsdam, Sept. 5.-Emperor William
received Prince Chun yesterday in
the presence of the royal princes,
Baron Won Richthofen, the foreign
secretary, the principal ministers and
generals and the court dignitaries.
The prince read letter, written in
yellow ink, to the emperor.
The Chinese emperor's letter to En-
peror William confessed ''penitence
and shame" for the crime (the mur-
der of Baron Won Ketteler, the Ger
man minister at Pellln), which he had
been unable to prevent.
Emperor Williams reply was that
while he was ready to believe that the
emperor of China stood aloof from
the murder, all the heavier guilt rest
ing on his advisers and the govern
ment. the latter must not delude
themselves with the belief that they
are able to obtain pardon for their
guilt by the eNpiatory mission alone,
but will be judged by their future
conduct, in accordance with the laws
Of nations.

Manila, Sept. 5.-Lieut. Hazard, of
the Third cavalry, has brought in Ar
thur Howard, the American deserter
who was recently captured by the
lieutenant while in command of Maca-
bebe scouts in the island of Mindoro.
He was placed in jail and will shortly
be court-martialed. Howard denies
that he was ever an American soldier.
He claims he was born in Spain, that
his father was English and his moth
er Spanish, but that he espoused the
cause of the Filipinos. In 1896, after
peace was declared, he says, he went
to Hong Kong and returned in 1896,
as Aguinaldo's chief of artillery.
He cast his lot with Aguinaldo at
the time of the rupture with the
Americans and he says that he
brought in 16 American prisoners, un-
der "A flag of truce, at Angeles, in
September, 1899. Howard denies that
he commanded the force at San Ma
teo, which killed Gen. Lawton. He
speaks like an educated Englishman.

fornia volunteers Enve identified How
ard as a deserter from their rcgi-
