NOT AN EXPERT IN POLITICS

CHICAGO, June 15.-James Dalrymple' $
reputation of municipal ownership for
Chicago or any other American city, as
expressed in an interview attributed to
him In Philadelphia. has aroused intense
hostility here among the partisans OF
the movement to have street railways
owned by the cit
Mayor DUNES friends insist that Mr..
Dalrymple's objections to municipal
ownership on the ground that it would
build up a powerful political machine
nere might carry more weight if he only
knew something about Chicago politics
besides what certain persons tnimical to
municipal ownership had told him.
More Delay.
One result of the interview is expected
to be more delay on the part of the
street railway companies in presenting
any proposition that the city can accept
for the disposal of their properties
Mayor Dunno refused to discuss Mr.
Dalrymples statements. Alderman VIII
liam E. Dever, the mayors choice for
chairman of the local transportatio
committee, declared that ne would not
give cents for the opinion of James
Dalrymple on the political situation ex-
listing in American cities.
Wonderful Intellect.
MIR. Dalrymple has been here less
than a month" said Mr.. Dever, land he
assumes to know all about politics in
all American cities. His wonderful in
tellect has grasped in a few brief days
during which he was supposed to be
travelling busily about Chicago a more
thorough knowledge of the inside work

sessed by most of the local politicians

Big Battle Is Delayed Awaiting Peace
Negotiations.

The week has seen no important en-
gagements at the seat of war in Man
churia, where Oyama is gathering
large reinforcements from Japan, but
is apparently delaying his forward
movement in hope that further blood.
shed may be averted by the adoption
of an armistice as the first step in
peace negotiations. Interest in the
war situation has therefore centered
almost entirely in the efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to bring the bellig-
erents together in a sincere effort to
establish peace.
The week has made it palmer that
Russia has been forced to recognize
the hopelessness of further fighting,
and that she is ready to end the war,
provided favorable terms can be OBJ
tanned from Japan. The cars gov
eminent has assented to the proposals
for a conference, which may be held
in this country after the signing of a
truce by Generals Linevitch and Oya-
ma. The summer is likely to be well
advanced, however, before the two
powers will be able to agree to terms,
if, indeed, agreement be possible.
Russia, with her usual policy of
brave bluff, is stoutly affirming that
peace is out Of the question if Japan
demands an indemnity. Japan is sue
cessfully keeping sercet her terms of
peace, but it is believed that she will
demand the cession of Port Arthur
and perhaps Vladivostock, with large
area of Manchuria, the virtual control
of Korea, and an indemnity to cover
her war expenses, amounting probably
to more than $CJU,000,000.
There is thus ample room for fail
ure of the negotiations, when they
shall have at last begun. This will
not be for several weeks.
