ger railway begin to expire. next June.
and unless something is done at once.
the corporation will be operating with
out warrant. This company owes it's
eXistance to franchise ordinances
passed by the city council in 1SS4-S5. It
was leased to the West Chicago Street
Railroad Co. and, with this corporation
became part of the Union Traction sys-

Some of its lines. however. are impor-
tant parts of the Union Traction Co.
The company has an application for
a recall pending before the council 1t
was introduced some time ago. but so
far the committee on local transporta-

1t is not expected tina this ordinance
will be acted on before the existing
franchises begin to expire and oOnse-
ouently the company has welcomed the
plan of the municipal ownership advo-
Gates for n license ordinance which will
allow the company to continue to oper-

SANCHEZ is PLEASED,
Has Obtained the Recognition of Pres
ident Morales.

New York, April S.-Gcn Juan Francis
co Sanchez. minister Of foreign affairs of
the Dominican republic, who has been in
this country about three months on a
special mission for his government, has
sailed for San Domingo.
The general said his mission to Wash
ington had been entirely successful. The
principal object of his trip north was to
seek the formal recognition of President
Morales. The Dominican diplomat was
especially pleased over the promise from
Secretary Hay to assign a minister resi-
dent to San Domingo in the near future.
The sending of a minister to my coun-
try will develop closer relations with the
United States" he said. THE report that
| came here to ask for the establishment
of a protectorate over San Domingo was
entirely without foundation. President
Morales is thoroughly capable of hand
ling the situa tion.
In the hold of the steamer upon which
Gen. Sanchez sailed were 100000 cart
ridges and 200 rifles which are consigned
to the government.
