streets was the watchword at the meeting
of the Fire and Police board last night
A communication was received from the
Commercial club asking that some action
be taken in regard to persons crowding
out on the street while waiting for street
cars.
IT was suggested ~ the Commercial
club that the people be kept back TO the
curb until the car comes to stop. To
do this II was proposed at the meeting
that the matter be taken up with the
street railway company to see IL it was
possible TO have the cars stop at every
corner in the congested parts OF the city.
Some talk was had on the proposition
81 having street cars stop on the near
side of the corners. butNno action was
taken.
Fred Hoye suggested that policemen at
the intersections In the business district
of the city be supplied with whistles.
One blast OF the whistle by the officer

blasts to give the street cars the right.

English in the government schools Of
China, spoke before the current topics
department of the Woman's club yester-
day, emphasizing the necessity of
Chrlstianzng China.
'Of the 50O,O0O,Oo0 population, not 100000
are Christians China can put 50.OO0,00o
soldiers in the field, whereas Germany
can send out but 100000" he said.
Mr.. Kuhn explained the trouble be-
tween the Chinese and the foreigners
over the railroads He said that the
roads were buff through the burial
grounds and interfered much with the
Chinese custom of ancestor worship. He
also said that the Chinese object to tele-
graph lines being run through their
grave yards because they fear the ef-
feet Of the shadows of the poles on the
graves and believe that the spirits of
the air will be troubled by the vibrations
of the wire.
Preceding Mr.. Kuhn's talk, the depart
ment had a half hour of parliamentary
practice under the tutelage of Mrs. Ed
ward Johnson. Mrs. Johnson said that
the study of parliamentary law would
teach the women courtesy, one toward
another; that at meetings OF women II
often happened that three or four wanted
to speak at the same time and that the
gist Of the matter in hand was lost.

that would satisfy American Jews and
at the same time not embarrass either
the United States or Russia still was
undiscovered. Practically no other
topic of Importance was discussed
While the negotiations of American
Ambassador Guild at st. Petersburg
have not been abandoned, it looked as
if there could be but one outcome
the abrogation of the treaty of 1882
with Russia So far Ambassador Guild
was said to have met with little salts
faction in the proposal that the regu-
lations imposed on visiting American
Jews be modified.
The pressure to bring about modi-
fication, or abrogation of the treaty,
has been great, but any action taken
will be only after the closest scrutiny
to prevent international embarrass-
ment, for the United States has its
own problem in prohibiting the en-
trance of Chinese. 1t was said Presi
dent Tafts expected message to con
gress on the passport~question might
be delayed for some time. Meantime
there will be more cabinet confer
ences, a continuance of negotiations in
ST. Petersburg, and probably agitation
in congress.
1t is possible congress might APP
prove the abrogation of the treaty,
and while many officials believe this
would cause embarrassment, it might
prove the only solution. Talk of a
new treaty with Russia to replace that
of 1882 is not taken seriously among
cabinet members. 1t is said on good
authority that negotiations looking to
new treaty had not proceeded far
enough to warrant any hope that a
solution could be reached in this way.
