More Trouble in China.

China is declared to be on the
verge of another upheaval, similar
10 the Boxer uprising and the lives
of foreigners are in jeopardy Ad-
vices received in Washington recently
from government officials in China ex-
press the belief that an outbreak at
any time would not surprise them. The
state department has instructed it's
diplomatic and consular officials to
maintain a close watch on the inter-
national conditions.
All through the summer months
there have been mutterines of dis
content in some of the Chinese
provinces due to the rice famine,
dynastic difficulties and dissatisfac-
tion over acts of the Pekin govern
ment as to foreign investments in
China. Good harvests mitigated to
some extent the gravity Of the situ-
alton, but there is still a general
feeling of unrest here from men on
duty in that quarter. The army and
the navy are prepared for any emer-
gency, but their readiness is solely a
precautionary measure, it is said,
and should not be taken as an indi-
cation Of immediate danger.
Authentic advices from those.
charged with keeping in touch with
conditions indicate that the only
thing lacking to parallel today's stu
alton with that preceding the Boxer
troubles. which drew into China the
American forces as we'll as those OF
other nations, is the matter of or
ganization and that it only needs a
leader to effect that
Every vessel in the Asiatic fleet. as

In the event the trouble breaks.

Fire OH Manning Avenue.

A store on the corner of Manning
avenue and Divine street, the prop
erty Of Mr. A. e. Gregg and run by
Mr.. j. d. Gregg, two negro resatu-
rants, and a negro dwelling house
belonging to the Rev. Friday Ker-
shaw and occupied by Manda Treze-
want and James Ross, were burned
wednesday at ] o'clock. The cause of
the fire was unknown, although it
was ascertained that it originated in
negro restaurant belonging to a
negro by the name Of Adam Wilder.
The alarm was turned in from box
80 and the reel wagons responded
Immediately, but owing to the charac-
ter OF the buildings and the stiff breeze
that was blowing at the time, the fire
had gained such head way before the
wagons reached the spot and the hose
was properly adjusted that the fire
men turned their attention TO the
saving of other buildings adjoining
those on fire, it being utterly impos-
sible to save those already OH fire.
The fire. while not unusually large.
was an unusually hot one and the
firemen suffered extremely from the
heat
The store belonging to Mr. A. f..
Gregg was valued at about 5000,
about $400 of which was covered bv
insurance. The stock of goods was
valued at about $500, there being no
insurance. The negroes living in the
house. and carrying on thc restau-
rants. were unable to save anything
except a small amount of furniture.

His Objection.
(By Kennett Harris.)

4 always felt sort of doubt,
L could not "pish!" or pooh!"
For quite a while l hung about
To hear her sofly COO;
But, when l came to try her out,
l found she wouldn't do.
Her hair was like fine golden thread
Her throat was like the swan;
Her skin was white, her lips were red
And fair to look upon;
But she could never make a bed
Or sew a button on.
Her voice was ever soft and low,
Her smile was very sweet;
From certain points of view 1 know
That girl was hard to beat;
But I'd have had the slimmest show
To get good grub to eat.
She warbled like a mockingbird
Upon a budding haw;
Her playing was, upon my word
Without a single flaw;
But ] believed. from what / heard,
She cooked her beefsteak raw.

Municipal Affairs
ORDERS OLIVE STREET
TRACK LAYING STOPPED
City Attorney investigates Right
of L. A. Railway to P. {.
Franchise

John w. Shenk, city attorney, or
dered the Los Angeles railway to stop
laying tracks on Olive street, between
Sixth and Seventh streets, yesterday
morning, until It produces authority
for using the portion of the street on
which the tracks are being laid.
Mr.. Shenk is investigating the claim
of the Los Angeles railway to a fran
chise ION this portion of the street, and
believes that if any real claim exists
1t may be lnvalidated by the fact that
the railway has not used the block in
question for months.
S. M. Haskins, attorney for the Los
Angeles railway, claims that the rail-
way has a right to lay tracks on the
block in question. He declared yester-
day that the Pacific Electric had as
signed it's interest in this portion OF
the franchise, which is an old one, to
the Los Angeles railway, and that 1t
was the plan to run one branch OF the
washington cars on the line that the
block on Olive street, between Sixth
and Seventh streets, would connect.
This block was a part of the fran
chise held by the Pacific Electric for
the Glendale cars that operated on
Sixth to Olive, on Olive to Seventh and
on Seventh to Figueroa. When the
Pacific Electric obtained a franchise to
run straight west on Sixth street to
Figueroa it abandoned the tracks on
Seventh street, between Olive and FL
gueroa, but not the block between
Sixth and Seventh streets.
No notice of the transfer from the
Pacific Electric to the Los Angeles
railway has been filed with the city
clerk Mr.. Haskins said the franchise
did not require it, but that he was
willing to do so If required.

UTILITIES BOARD OPPOSES
INCREASING SPEED OF CARS
Body Advises Council to Maintain
Present Ordinance

No higher rate Of speed on Sunset
boulevard than is allowed under the
ordinance regulating the speed of street
cars Is to be allowed. II the council
adopts the report of the board Of pub
lie utilities. Petitions were sent to the
council to amend the speed ordinance
so that the Los Angeles-Pacific cars
could travel faster on Sunset boule-
ward. In response the board of public
utilities says:
"That for short time after the pas
sage of an ordinance regulating speed
of street cars motormen of the Los
Angeles Pacific and Los Angeles q
Redondo railways ran cars at very
slow speed. We took the subject up
with the companies and the matter was
so adjusted that q thorough test OF the
ordinance was made in practice.
"Since this action of the board In
spection of the service has shown that
the ordinance provision of maximum
speed of twenty miles an hour affords
ample allowance for prompt and salts
factory service. This is in keeping with
the decision of the board, made after
careful study of the subject, which
resulted in the submission of said or
dinance to the council by this board.
There appears to have been some
ground for this complaint at the time
il was filed, but we are satisfied that
the difficulty has been wholly overcome
by the better regulation of the serV-
ice, without any necessity for change
in the ordinance.
I'VE therefore recommend that no
further action be taken by the council"

CULVERT CONTRACTORS
WANT NEW ASSESSMENT

To what extent the apparent inten-
ton of a contractor may be taken into
consideration when determining the
amount of his bid is the subject of an
interesting series of documents that is
going the rounds between the board of
public works, the city engineer and the
city attorney. The board holds that
bid must be taken literally, while c. d.
Houghton, deputy city attorney, and
the engineering department hold that
the intention Of a bidder must be con-
sidered.
The controversy has arisen over the
improvement of Fifty-fourth street, be-
tween Long Beach avenue and the Fur
long Home tract. Seven bids were re-
ceived for this Improvement, which in
cludes grading, graveling, cement curb
ing, sidewalks and one culvert.
Withers & Critics were the lowest bid
ders, and the contract was awarded to
them for $30345S The culvert item is
the cause of the controversy. The
ordinary method of bidding on cul-
vert is per lineal foot, and "culvert per
lineal FOOT is printed on the bid form.
Withers & critics filed this out with
the figures $50" and the word com
plete."
AS SO per lineal foot for culverts is
considered an excessive price for the
figured that the bidder had intended to
cut out the words per lineal foot" but
had failed to do So and he so reported
to the board of public works.
The board went over the figures of all
the bidders and found that although
Withers & Critics wanted about $3.50 for
constructing the culvert, while other
biddess asked only SIS to $40, still the
prices fixed on other portions of the
work were so low that they were still
the lowest bidders, and awarded them
the contract.
Acting on the advice of the city en-
gineer. which is sustained by an opin-
ion from Mr.. Houghton, Frank Palo-
mares has made out the assessment on
the basis of only $40 for the culvert
The contractors will go before the
council and ask that a new assessment
be made, because they claim they did
not mean what the engineer said they
did, but were actually bidding $40 per
lineal foot, the literal wording of their
