ENGLAND .Is FIRM.

St Petersburg, Aug 17.-Great Brit ain has formally raised the whole question of foodstuffs as contraband of war and the legality of sinking neu- traI ships in communication to the Russian government presented through Ambassador Hardinge. The views are practically those embodied in the kings speech at the proroguing of parliament The communication takes exception to the Russian doc trine that foodstuffs are contraband, takes a position against the right of Russia to sink neutral merchantmen, and demands compensation in the case of the Knight Commander. With re- gard to foodstuffs consigned to an en- emy's ports, the communication main tains that proof that they are intend ed for belligerent's military or na- val forces ds necessary in order that they be considered contraband. 1t illustrates in this contention the case of the flour on board the Arabia, which was consigned to British firm at Yokohama, and which was de clared contraband by the Vladfvostok prize court Great Britain contends that the Russian doctrine is equivalent to a declaration that all foodstuffs consigned to an enemy's port are un- conditionally contraband.
 Although couched in friendly terms the note presents the British position clearly and emphatically.

The electric railways have cut ire
mendously into the short haul business
of the steam railroads, so much so that
many of these have taken off their
short line services, but the strangest
part about this trolley system is that
it actually creates travel, the ''visiGe"
business of a district is no indication
whatever of what a trolley line may
bring forth. For instance. the road
between Detroit and Ann Arbor. Mich.
may be given as an illustration. The
latter town has $4,000 population and
the distance is forty miles. Before the
electric road was built the purely local
business of the Michigan Central be-
tween the two points averaged about
200 passengers a day. No sooner was
the trolley Installed than the daily
average between the two places ran up
to over 1000, while in summer time
it is no unusual thing for 5000 local
passengers to be carried. The trolley
has done wonders in extending the ra-
dius of possible suburban residential
territory and has no doubt created the
travelling habit.
