Property owners on Webster ave-
nue.. Center street. Garfield avenue
and number of other streets that
are being paved with asphalt have
been fooled by Harrison. They will
get no groOved rails.
General Counsel Gurley for the Tn.
lon Traction Company has agreed
with Corporation Counsel TOlman to
pave streets during the present irac-
ton interregnum without specific in.
structions from the city. Also that
specific instructions would he given
the employees of the road to use all
precautions to stop u recurrence of ac-
cidents similar TO that In West 18th

The decision on paving followed

city was nvcrse to making any for
NAL decision rs to the character of
the pavement. rs II might he held to
sustain the claims of the company to
rights In the streets. AMI Mr.. Gurlcy
suggested this could he got around by
the city remaining silent ana the com.
uany agreeing verbally to put down

AS to grooved rails. Mr.. Gurley said
II was physical impOssibility for the
company to procure the rails this year,
and so under the Council order II was
determined the old rails could remain
This means there will be no grOOved
rails laid on the North ana West Sides

the interest Of the public and for the
safety of your passengers. that YOU

conductors from allowing Passengers

ear. ana that you also take such steps
ms may be possible, under the clrcum-
stances, to furnish such transportation
facilities on the streets referred to and
other such streets where the public de-
mand for transportation Is great, as
shall prevent the Overlooking of ears

DECLINE OF AMeRiCAN SHIPPING.

The Eagle Is In receipt Of a cOmmu-
nication from the New York Board of
Trade upon the subject of the decline
Of American shipping. The communi'
cation contains some facts that ought
to set people TO thinking. The follow
ing extracts from the letter to the
Eagle explain themselves:
1t Is fact that the United States
of 1910. with seven million inhabit'
ants, owned more registered tonnage
for oversee trade than the United
States of 1903, with IA population of
eighty million.
This tonnage in 1910 was 9Sl 600; II
Is now $1,000, and, worse still, II
showed an actual decrease of six thou
sand tons from the year before
In 1910 American ships and Ameri-
can sailors carried 30 per cent of
their country's ocean trade, and, more
over, great share of that Of Europe

CHINA IS RETURNING
To FORMER CONDITIONS
Prominent Chinese Who Have
Been Friendly With Re-
formers in Fear of Arrest

Pekn. Aug. S.-China is witnessing
a return to the conditions which fol-
lowed the coup d'etat of 1898 Political
discussions among the Chinese, which
increased during the imperial courts
recent policy of friendiness toward
foreigners, has suddenly stopped. The
plan of the Dowager Empress 10 terrify
the reformers by the execution Of Shen
Chen, which occurred last Friday, has
been successful. All the liberal Chi
nese, particularly those who have been
associated with the reformers, are in
the greatest fear OF arrest, and ii is
difIlcult to find a Chinaman who is
willing to mention politics or Friday s
tragedy, although the latter is almost
the only topic Of conversation among
trusted friends. The officials are par
ticularly dumb.
The affair is disappointing to the
foreigners who had hoped that the
Empress Dowager's association with
the ladies' of the legation would have
a civilizlng influence. Prince Su, the
most liberal of the Manchu princes,
who in March last issued a proclama-
ton against incense burning TO mill
tary idols because it was the chief rite
during the Boxer troubles, is re-
ported to have risked his Office by op-
posing the execution Of Shen Chen.
