The new parlor car which the Empress
Dowager of China ordered in France some
months ago for the use of herself and the
high mandarins of her suite In their Journeys
through the country has been completed and
shipped at Antwerp for delivery in Pekin
The car is longer than the ordinary Euro
pean railway carriage. and 1t has al both
ends platforms like American cars fenced
In with forged ornamental iron railings.
1t is divided into six compartments First
OF all come two drawing room eoupes fitted
with divans covered with pale blue silk
These are designed for the attendants of
the Empress, and next to them comes the
sitting and dining room of Tsi An herself
which takes up the whole width of the car
and receives its light through six great
panels of glass reaching from floor to roof
The ceiling is covered with pictures and
about the great oak table in the middle
are fastened six broad and comfortable
armchairs. At both ends of the saloon are
wide dfvans which can be turned into beds
when occasion requires. At night light Is
provided by an electric cluster, the light
hanging from the middle of the ceiling.
The coquettish dressing room opening into
the saloon Is beautifully fitted up in mod
ern style. An office and kitchen complete
the layout of the imperial car, which IL Is

other. The motor bus is being utilized to
supply this want. In the south the rail-
way companies are competing with private
enterprise, but along the east and west
coasts the services are in the hands OF
private companies. Twenty new schemes
OF this kind are on the point of being
launched. One of the largest provides for
a service twice day of motor buses along
a hundred miles of coast road in north
Wales, linking up en- route Ave railway
rerminf, five other stations, seven market
towns, seven large villages where cattle
fairs are regularly held, twelve coast ports,
as well as numerous isolated villages.
1t is calculated that the annual revenue
needed to cover all working expenses of
the proposed service, provide for upkeep
and depreciation. and pay ten per cent
on the ordinary shares will be secured IL
the earnings are at the rate of only two
shfllings per head year OF population
of 10000 residents within two miles of the
route. and penny per mile from parcels
and luggage. As regards the prospects of
success on this basis. II is pointed out that
the official returns of thirty of the lesser
tramway services In England show that
their receipts average annually eight
shillings a head of the whole population
within two or three miles of the districts
served, while the takings of nine Irish
county tramways average ten shillings

The part which the railroad companies
have taken up has been forced upon them
by the competition of the electric trans and
the motor buses which have made serious
inroads on their traffic. The London and

don and Brighton and the Great Eastern

steam with electricity. while the Northeast

methods All the other railways have
adopted the third rail- but the engineer of

the possibilities of the sngle-phase over

to adopt 1t as an experiment on a stretch

urban and rural districts the self-propelled

OF traffic IN the metropolis huge new
motor 'busses may be seen adroitly
threading their way among. and swiftly
forging far ahead of. the old-fashioned and
out-of-date horse buses. Famous as Is the
London bus drivers skill In driving, the
motor buses seem to gain as much by the
marvellous way in which they are abe to
pick their way among the horse traffic as
from their vastly superior speed.
There are already considerably more than
a hundred motor buses running the
main routes in the heart of London, more
than thousand more are actually on order
and being rushed to completion as quickly
as possible: while the old horse bus COM
panies have been forced by the remarkable
success of the new vehicle to arrange for
transforming their three thousand buses
from horse to mechanical traction.
on the ranks motor cabs are fast diSplac-
ing the familiar hanson and the slow four
wheeler. and the cabmen's union has open
ed a motor school where the London Jehu
may learn the business of chauffeur Motor
carriages are all the rage in society. ana
traders going In largely for motor
traction.
And the awakening is not confined to Lon
don In every part OF the country its infiu-
ence is being felt in one form or another,
the throb OF the motor bus being heard
even in the remote villages. In order to
meet the increased competition the railway
companies are dscarding steam for eec-
tricity. and they are opening up new
sources OF traffic by providing motor serv-
ices as feeders
In the hurry to make up for lost time in
adequate consideration has been given to
details. Like the man who has oversight
the countrys ideas are somewhat confused
1t has plethora of schemes OF mechanical
propulsion to choose from. but little or no
personal experience to direct its decisions.
The least progressive OF all the great CEN
ters in the past with the most gigantic
and pressing traffic problem of any, Lon
don finds Itself at loss to know how II Is
TO solve the problem on up-to-date lines.
The royal commission, which was appoint
ed to give lead In the matter. seems to
have been overwhelmed by the magnitude
of the question. for its report has not helped
much in the development of clear policy.
1t made one good suggestion. namely, that
all new schemes of locomotion should be
examined by a committee of experts in

ing used, among other places in the
English lake district, in Hampshire and in
South Devon, and the promoters of the
new Welsh service have adopted them;
but, taking the country a whole, there
are more petrol-driven buses at work in
England.
So far London is concerned the mo-
tor bus as opposed to the steam bus is
supreme. Two companies which tried the
steam bus have dropped 1t, and there are
now only three or four steam buses in
use in the metropolis But in London, and
more particularly at present in some
other important centers, such as Man
chester, Liverpool and Glasgow, the
struggle for supremacy is not so much
between varying forms Of mechanically
propelled buses as between the motor
bus and the electric tram. With one or
two notable exceptions, such as Birming-
ham, which has twenty-one motor buses
In Its streets, public and private enter
prise In the large cities and towns has
pinned its faith almost entirely to cleo
trio trans. The advocates of the trans
contend that whereas the life of motor
bus is at the most three years. that of a
tram Is six or seven, and the earning ca
pacity of the tram is much greater. The
motor bus manufacturers, on the other
hand, assess the life OF the motor bus at
earning capacity is more than compen-
sated for by the smaller initial expendi-
ture and cost Of maintenance
The two systems have not been in COM
petition long enough to enable experts to
settle the point. Meantime they are be-
ing developed side by side In London. The
London county council and the London
United Electric Tramways Company are
steadily increasing the tram mileage
every year, and they would extend 1t still
more IL parliament would set aside the
opposition that exists to running tram
ways in the heart of the metropolis and
authorize them to lay lines in such places
Fleet street and other central thorough
fares.
While declining at present to commit
themselves to an opinion as to the future
prospects of the two systems, the old bus
companies have been forced by the COM
petition of the electric trans and the
tubes. and the fact that independent
motor bus services were being started
