RIGHT OF WAY
BEING SOUGHT
BY THE PROPOSED cANToN-AK.
RON YOUNGSTOWN LINE.
Plan Is to Enter Akron by Buying Its
Own Land-Property Owners
Are Approached.

A great deal has been said pro and
con about the proposed Youngstown,
Canton & Akron Electric railway, and
there seems to be a suspicion in the
minds of a great many people that the
road will never be anything more than
paper line.
1t has developed within the last few
days, however, that the company is en-
deavoring to secure an entrance into
this city over private right OF way,
Several days ago it was announced that
some company was endeavoring to Sc
cure entrance into this city, and it was
presumed that 1t was the Canton-Ak-
ron company, which has long wanted
an independent entrance here. Later
developments show that it was not the
CantOn-Akron line, but the proposed
line which Is to connect Youngstown,
Canton and Akron. At least this is the
statement OF one Of the property own
ers who was approached by promoters
of the proposed line with an offer for
piece of land for a right of way.
According to this man, the company
proposes to enter the city of Akron
over private right of way, and that 1t
will not use single street in the city
except at points where its line crosses
them. If this is the case, 1t will not
be necessary for it to secure fran
chise from the city council except for
the crossing of few streets.
1t is surmised that it is the intention
of the company to use private right
of way between Akron and Canton, just
as was planned by the Northern Ohio
Traction G. Light Co. when it proposed
to build line to Canton. At all events,
property owners are being approached
by agents of the company with propo-
sitions for the sale of their land, and 1t
would not be surprising, in view OF
how matters are progressing, If the line
is built.--Akron Beacon-Journal.

SYMPATHY vEERs
Toward Russia Because No Word
Comes From Toxic.

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. latter
Japan's action in bringing about peace
at the cost of sacrifices to herself the
tide of world wide approval and SYM
pathy was with her. But the delay in
hearing anything further from Toxic
confirming the negotiations and direct
ing their prompt conclusion is weaning
away that popular sentiment, which is
now veering once more towards Russia.
1t is said that so strongly have the
Japanese ENJOYS viewed the situation
that they have notified the mikado of
the czar's message and suggested the
advisability of similar one coming
from him.
No answer has yet been received to
this communication, but 1t is certain
that nothing but direct command
from the mikado will prevent the Japa-
nese ENJOYS from signing the treaty,
and nobody here expects that. A trou-
blesome disagreement has developed
between the Russian and Japanese
counsellors over the article relating to
the division Of Saghalien. 1t and the
article relating to the evacuation of
Manchnria are the only ones not COM
pleted. 1t is impossible to ascertain
what the exact point of difference is.
The Japanese decline to discuss the
matter.

GERMANY Halls
THE NEW ALLIANCE
GUARANTEES SECURITY OF TER
RIToRlAL POSSESSIONS TO
CHINA.
Preservation Of Peace in the Far East
Believed Now to Be in Perpetu.
ity-What II Means.

Chicago. Sept. IA special cable
gram to the Daily News from Berlin
says:
Official Germany halls the new Anglo
Japanese alliance with qualification. 1t
is considered net only to guarantee Sc
curity for the German territorial pos
sessions in China, but to make for the
maintenance Of the status quo and the
preservation of peace in the far east
practically in perpetuity. ali three of
these objects being the basis OF Ger
man policy in the Orient, the alliance
is held to be as valuable to Germany
as if the fatherland itself we're party
to il.
The alliance in the expanded form
in which 1t has been renewed is thought
to remove entirely the danger of Ger
manys expulsion from Kiauchau at the
hands of the Japanese because the new
conditions provide that Japan cannot
wage war with another power without
involving Britain. Germans are con-
vinced that Engllshmen would not
dream of hostiities with them over the
occupation of Kiauchau. The alliance
is disappointing to Germans in one re-
spect, however, for it causes them to
abandon the cherished hope Of expand
ing the Kiauchau concession into
sphere of influence embracing the
whole province of Shantung.
President Roosevelt's cable dispatch
to the kaiser, avowing before all the
world the active role which William
played in bringing about peace has
aroused more qualification in Germany
than any political event Of recent years.
1t is welcomed as giving both to Will
lam and to Germany a certificate of
their peace loving character which is
of inCalcuable and far reaching ad-
vantage to the German foreign policy.
The kaiser personally is delighted be-
yond expression with President Roose-
velt's words, which answers so satisfac-
torily the .intimations Gf Britons, Rus
SLAMS and FrenChmen that he urged the
czar to continue the war. Coming at
a moment when practically all the
world was a unit in regarding the Ger
man foreign policy with suspicion and
| distrust the Roosevelt message Is con-
sidered a full return for the assiduous
attentions which the kaiser has show
cred upon the people of the United
! States in the past three years, and
which up to this time have been re-
| garded as unrequited.

THE Camden Courier says: The
Morris Canal abandonment bill is a
simple proposal that the company will
surrender its now useless franchise
provided the State gives it exclusive
ownership Of the water rights leased
to it for the operation Of the canal.
1t is most impudent proposition, and
the question of the sanity of the legis-
lator who would vote to accept it
might well be questioned The water
rights are part of the franchise and
must be surrendered with the rights
OF way If exact Justice is to be done
the State and it's people. The aban-
donment Of the canal naturally implies
that the company has no use for the
water for the purpose for which 1t was
granted the company, and to permit
the company to retain it in order to
sell 1t for its own benefit to the people
Of the State to whom it really belongs,
would be clear violation Of the spirit
OF the bin of rights Of the State, which
declares that no donation Of land OF
appropriation OF money shall be made
by the State to or for the use OF any
corporation whatever.
