Mayor Mcclellan wrote this letter YES

Referring TO your published invitation

| WILL HEAR CHINNS PROTESTS.
Baron KOmura Reaches Pekin To-day TO
Discuss MAnchurian Anairs

Special Cdole Despatch 10 THR SUN
PEKlN, Nov. II The Grand Council,
which is composed Of the Ministers OF state,
IL in session. Yuan Shih Kai commander-
in-chief Of the Chinese army, is expected
to arrive in Pekin tomorrow with Baron
Komura the special envoy from Japan to
the Chinese Government.
WAsuIHaToN, Nov. 11.-According to
advices which have rea he'd Washington,
Baron Komura, the Japanese Minister OF
Foreign Affairs and the head OF the Japa-
nese peace mission to Portsmouth, will
arrive in Pekin tomorrow to take up
number Of questions with the Chinese
Government. Among these will be num-
Der caused by the terms of the treaty Of
peace signed at Portsmouth. The Russian
Minister at Pekin, NJ. Pokotilofl, will proba-
bly, participate in the negotiations.
There can be little doubt, now that an
opportunity affords itself, that China will
push the protest she made several weeks
ago to Russia and Japan concerning GER
tain provisions Of the treaty OF peace. The
document provides that the province OF
Manclnrria shall be evacuated within eigh-
teen manths. China objected vigorously
to this, maintaining that the time limit
was altogether too great. The Chinese sug-
gested that it be reduced to nine months
Another point in the treaty China OBJ
jecte to Ii the provision that an armed
guard shall be maintained In Manchurla
by both Russia and Japan to watch over
the railway lines owned In the province
by the two countries. The agreement
made provides for fifteen guards for every
kilometre of railway, According to China
this would mean standing guard Of per-
haps 10000 Russian and Japanese troops In
Chinese territory. China's protest, which
was sent to both st, Petersburg and Toxic,
said that China was perfectly able to afford
protection for the property OF Russia and
Japan in China
The Russian and Japanese Governments
have yet to obtain the consent Of the Chinese
Government for the transfer Of the leases
OF Port Arthur, the Liaotung peninsula
and Dalny from Russia to Japan, and
the transfer of the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way
Baron Komura will probably take up
these matters with the Chinese Govern
ment.

Cling on the rope just below the edge.
MCGOWAN reached over and got Mike by
the scruff of the neck and from then on had
a lively struggle in dragging him up to the
roof. His cries brought others to the roof,
and after a hard tussle Reilly was landed
1t was at first thought that he had motted
the rope about himself, but he hadn't. He
had simply wrapped his hands and legs
about the rope and held on.
In his rawlings he told the policeman that
he had lifted off the southern chimney, but
lost it. He sa id he then tried to pick up
the other one, but it held fast, and he de-
cded to pull it over into the rear yard.
Reilly was descending from the roof in
peaceful manner, when he suddenly decided
to fight, and Policeman MCGOWAN had a
hard time e, in getting him down to the street
AT the West Forty-seventh street police
station Reilly was charged with being
drunk and disorderly and was locked up
Al 7 O'Clock last night the doorman found
Reilly's condition such that it was decided
to remove him to Bellevue.
An ambulance was summoned and Dr.
vandiver of Roosevelt Hospital responded.

geon and the prisoner on the ride to the

thrown to the street as result of the colli-
sion and all rigs concerned, except the

Special cable Despatch TO THE Sun.
LONDON, Nov. IA bill now being pre-
pared for presentation to Parliament pro-
vides for acquiring the over necessary
to make a mot torway from London to Brigh-
ton, about fifty miles.
Mr. Barber, one of the directors OF the
Anglo-American Telegraph and Cable Com
pany, who is the prime mover in the scheme,
says it will be dustless and stoneless, and
wide enough for four cars to run abreast.
There will be partition separating the up
and down tracks. 1t will be fenced in, and
will thus keep out stray animals and tres
passers. There will be numerous depots
and charging and generating stations.
1t will be lighted by electricity at night.
The maximum gradient will be 80. and
there will be no curves Of a radius less then
1 600 feet Its Use will be confined to motor
vehicles and there will be no speed limit.
The cost of construction has not been
finally estimated, but it will be somewhere
in the neghborhood Of Ell 900 900. This
outlay and tie cost of keeping it up will be
met by system Of tolls.
This is the first scheme of the kind in
Great Britain, and is entirely distinct from
the existing motor speedway and race
track.

Friends of Mike Reilly say they are going
to do their best in trying to persuade him
to get on the water wagon and stay on after
he is discharged from the alcoholic ward
at Bellevue. They fear that if he doesn't
all the buildings in this city will be
wrecked
Mike is husky young truck driver and
he lives at 428 West Fifty third street. He
got started on election night and was unable
to stop. He did nothing out of the ordinary
until yesterday at noon, when he disrobed
at Broadway and Forty ninth street. Friends
bundled UP both Mike and his clothes and
deposited them in the rear of livery stable
near by Some time later Mike got back
into his clothes and announced that he
would get even for the treatment he had
received. He had conceived the idea that
the proprietor of the livery stable had
wronged him, and strutting out shouted:
"Il fill yer damn place with chimneys!"
There was a terrific crash in the carriage
store of Daniel p. Nichols at 500 Broadway
shortly after o'clock. The employees
on the first floor rushed to the street, think
ing that the building had begun to col
lapse. The store s two story structure

a goodly quantity of bricks had smashed
through the roof and landed with bang
on the second floor. No one was on the
floor at the time of the crash. Considerable
damage had been done to several carriages
and other stock.
Every one about the place was puzzled
as TO where the bricks came from Finally,
some one noticed that the southerly chimney
on the roof of 1901 Broadway, three story
building adjoining the carriage store, was
about half there. This chimney was at
least three feet from the edge OF the roof
and it was plain to every one that the part
in the carriage store could not possibly
have fallen the way it did without some
kind of assistance.
Policeman MCGOWAN decided to go to the
roof of 1901 and investigate There he no
ticed a rope about the northerly chimney

COTTON FROM RHODESIA.
British Growers Think They Have Sub.
stitute for the Texas Brand.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE British Cotton
Growing Association, having met with
disappointment in experiments in West
Africa, now hopes to find compensation
in Rhodesia. Consignments from that
country sent to Liverpool and subjected
to the usual test have been found very
satisfactory. This cotton is practically
identical with Texan cotton, which is
largely used in Lancashire and which the
association has vainly tried to raise in other
colonies.
1t is believed that Rhodesia will be able
to produce three-quarters OF a million
bales a year which is regarded as enough
to steady the worlds market and protect
the British industry from speculators. 1t
is stated that there is plenty of capital
to develop the growing Of cotton in Rhodesia
