Cablegram-Special Telegram) - Charles
Yerkes has been talking very freely since
his return to London concerning the ruinous
competition Of the J. Pierpont Morgan
combination in the underground railway
field. Mr.. Yerkes said today: The Dis
trict railway will be electrified completely
eighteen months from now. An enormous
amount Of money is being spent upon 1t.
and what we say Is that we should be
given a fair chance to show what he can
do. II Parliament gives permission to your
rivals to run another line along side the
District railway and practically ruin 1t, as
such a line must inevitably do, / do not
think 1t would be fair"
Suppose" Mr. Yerkes was asked, these
schemes had started before you took an
interest in the District railwsy?"
II do not hesitate to say that in that
case we should not have touched the Dis
trict railway until the question was set
tied. Now, however, that we are in It, we
are bound to see It through. We could not
sell our stock even II we tried"
Mr.. Yerkes did not think the Morgan line
would confer any advantage upon the public
which would not be conferred by the cleo
triled District railway, and he certainly
did not think there was any necessity for
both lines. I'VE have row to fight for our
existence" he said.

mistake in his attitude toward Countess

to ascend the throne, but graver revolu-
tion is more likely, which will result in the
establishment OF a republic.

unpopular. His supercilious detachment

physicians had warned him that she was

into the hands OF the reactionary clerical
party, have finally rendered King Leopold s
very name ioathsume 10 the working and
middle classes. The aristocracy alone,
whose privileges run with his, support him.
"The king however will not be surprised
or displeased when an abdlcation is wrought
from him. He has long looked forward to
the possibility Of enjoying his immense
fortune in freedom. Most Of his money lie
now invested in France. England and
America. He is now building a fine resi-
dence in Paris andNis all ready to move
out of Belgium.
However, IL he finds the movement is
likely to dlspossess his cherished nephew.
King Leopold may show fight. in which
case the conflict between the army and
the people will be a bloody one, whose
