NEW YORK, Aug. BIN the crowd

CHINESE ORDER STOPS
RAILWAY ADJUSTMENT
JAPAN'S POLICY TOWARD BIG
RIVAL NEAR SETTLEMENT
Foreign Minister Komura Has Placed
Entire Question Between Two
Countries in Hands of
Emperor

TOXIC, Aug. 3.-It transpired today
that the greatest stumbling block IN
the way of an amicable settlement be-
tween China and Japan of the diner
ences over the Antung- -Mukden railway
is the order issued by the Chinese au-
thorities that no land should be sold to
Japanese along the line under severe
penalty.
This and several other questions con-
cerning Japanese policy in China viii
be determined in a short time, it is
expected, as the whole matter was
placed in the hands of the emperor
yesterday by Foreign Minister Ko-
lnura.
One of the principal points at issue
since the opening of the Cnlen TAO
boundary dispute between China, Jap.
an and Russia has been the question OF
railroad extension and the establish
ment of Independent municipalities
along the rights Of way of the various
lines on the Lao Tung peninsula.
The controversy is of long standing
and to it has been added such other
differences as that arising from the
seizure bv the Chinese authorities of
the Japanese merchant ship Tatsu
Maru, and the question of a boycott OF
Japanese goods in the empire. All OF
these matters have been threshed out
hv Komura, and in submitting them to
the emperor the foreign minister has
brought the negotiations to crisis so
far as his government is concerned

MAY DELAY NEW WORK
IN RECLAMATION LINE
LACK OF FUNDS Is TO BLAME,
SAYS BALLINGER
Secretary of the Interior Continues His
Conferences with Heads of
Departments at Port
land

PORTLAND. Ore, Aug. 3.-Secreta-
ry of the Interior Ballinger today con-
tinued his conferences with Director
Newell of the reclamation department
and Chief Engineer Davis and the su-
pervising engineers of the various
reclamation districts throughout the
country, who are in this city.
The conferences are executive and no
formal statement Of the conclusions
reached will be given out until the
sessions are ended, and perhaps not
then.
In an informal statement this after
noon, however, Secretary Ballinger
said that in all probability the govern
ment would adopt the policy of com
plotting reclamation projects now un-
der way, rather than undertake new
works which would hamper the work
now going on
Secretary Ballinger gave as one rea-
son for not desiring to take up new
work the lack of funds to carry on
more than was being undertaken at

THREE-CENT FARE BILL
DEFEATED IN CLEVELAND
Tom johnson and Others Urge Grant
ing of Franchise, but City Coun-
Gil Is Obdurate

CLEVELAND, Aug. S.-The ordi-
nance providing for the granting of a
franchise to Herman Schmidt, who
proposed to give 3-cent fares on a part
of the city street car lines, was de-
feated at a referendum election here
today by a majority of 1882. The total
vote was 30994 to 34926. The Schmidt
ordinance was fOstered by Mayor Tom
Johnson.
Mayor Johnson, municipal office hold
ers and others held hundreds of tent
meetings and urged the granting of
the franchise. A committee of 100 bus
mess men opposed it.
An attempt now will be made to pass
an ordinance settling the traction fight
along the lines proposed by Federal
Judge Taylor. He would put in force
a 3-cent fare plan, charging 1 cent for
a transfer. In case this plan failed to
pay a per cent dividend on the valu-
alton set by a committee of unbiased
citizens, the price of the fare might
be raised to seven tickets for 25 cents.
