DUNNE EXPLAINS HIS PLAN
Mayor of Chicago Outlines Scheme
for Municipal Control of
Traction Lines.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Mayor Edward F.
Dunno told the city council tonight his
plans for municipal ownership of traction
properties 1t was not municipal owner
ship absolutely, but, as the mayor ex-
planned, the nearest thing possible under
existing conditions, and he asked the alder
men to consider 1t carefully. Absolute mu-
nicipal ownership and operation, the mayor
said, he does not consider practical just
now.
The plan which the mayor offered pro-
vides for the incorpJE1 t'~5 e1f a company,
managed by five men who command the
confidence of the people of Chicago. To
this company is to be granted a twenty
year franchise covering the streets in
which the rights of the old companies al
ready have expired or soon will expire.
1t is to be stocked to the amount neces-
sary to establish street car system in
these streets, roughly estimated at 24O
miles. No bonds are TO be sold.
The stock is to be deposited with trust
company which the f1ve directors are to
select, so as to prevent a purchase of It
and subsequent control by outside inter-
ests.
The stock is to be sold at popular sub
scription.
At any time the city may elect 1t can
take over the property on an appraised
valuation.

Shortage of WOrkmen on
Isthmus.

NEW YORK. July 5.-George ]. Maclock
of Louisville, Ky, superintendent of dock
at Christobal, was among the passengers
on the Advance, which arrived here from
Panama today. Mr. Maclock sale
Things are very bad at the isthmus.
The diseases prevalent are measles, black
fever and malaria and there was one case
of bubonic plague. The dead trains run
from Colon to Monkey Hill cemetery,
mile and half south of Colon, always
once and sometimes as many as fourteen
times day. and 1t sometimes has as many
so much yellow fever about that they keep
open graves always ready for cases of
emergency.
The working clerical force on the 18TH
mus is about 80 per cent short. one dis
trict superintendent l know has work for
seventeen clerks and has so far only five.
The government seems TO be delaying the
paying of of the men. Forty-One men
were waiting for their money to catch the
steamer, but only six got 1t in time to
sail.
Miss A. A. Robinson of New York, who
had been a hospital nurse on the isthmus.
also returned on the Advance. She said she
had been about a year in the isthmus and
was very glad to be back again. THE
supply of nurses" she said, 'is beginning
to fall off and by lall the hospital at Pan
anna will be very short-handed. None of
those who are leaving now will return to
Panama and many others will leave as
soon as possible. The pay, considering
the conditions that prevail is not suf-
ncient. Sickness there Is increasing and
conditions generally becoming worse"

PRICE OF WHEAT GOES OFF
Chicago and New York Markets show
Decline in the September
Option.

CHICAGO, July 5.-After selling within
Accent range here today, wheat for Sep
tember delivery closed at a net decline of
2921s cents, compared with Saturdays 7nai
figures. The wide fiuctuation in price was
due almost wholly to conflicting reports as
to the condition of the spring sown crop.
At the start the market was decidedly
strong as a result of influential buying
brought out by damage reports from pri-
vate sources. Initial quotations of Sep
tember were up 3s to 12s cents at 9Oa91H
cents. Later a sharp break in prices oc-
Cured, September dropping to S7A cents.
An official report asserting that spring
wheat is in excellent condition was the
occasion for the severe decline.
NEW YORK, July 5.-The New York
wheat market broke 31s cents a bushel to-
day, September selling from 945s to 9lal
cents. It was due to overloaded conditions
In the trade meeting a weekly government

DESIRES TO STOP WAR
only Pride stands in way of Formal
Request for an Armis-
tfce.
ST. PETERsBURG. Julv The sItuation


ST. PETERSBURG, July 5-The situation
regarding the armistice is as follows:
Russia has formally signifed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt its desire for a lasting
peace not only by the appointment Of plen-
lpOtentaries who will be accompanied by
eminent experts fully empowered to CON
Clude treaty subject only to the ratifiCa-
tion Of the respective governments but az
final step has indicated its readiness to
suspend hostlities. 1t has avoided formally
asking for an armistice as a matter Of
pride
But under the circumstances Russia
could hardly go farther than she has
Japan, so far as known, has not yet in
dlcated her attitude or If she has Russia
up to this afternoon has not been so in
formed. In diplomatic circles the most
earnest hope is expressed that Japan will
further bloodshed in Manchuria and per-
maps in order to prevent a catastrophe in
throne and appal the world by its hor-
rors. An eminent ambassador of a great
European power said to the Associated
III Japan declines it may prove to be
a misfortune for the whole world. The
position OF Russia is critical. rhe en-
peror, crushed by the defeats in the far
cast and with almost civil war at home,
has bowed his head to the inevitable. He
wants peace and Japan has the proofs in
her possession. Japan has vindicated her
power before the world and has won the
admiration of the world. Nothing be-

ernment to negotiate with, besides threat

precedents for the conclusion of war
are reversed in this case An armistice
generally precedes the agreement on the
