SENATOR WORKS To AID

Sees No Reason Why Congress

on Proposition.

Senator Works of California, who has
street car transfers in the District of
Columbia. today proposed to confer with
commercial and other organizations in
the District so that the best possible bill
may be framed. The California senator

Il shall press my bill with all the force
have, said the senator. But before ]
would be glad to confer with representa-
tives of the business organizations of the
city and learn if they have substitute
for my bill more satisfactory to the
people of Washington.
From what can see the organizations
have disagreed among themselves as to
the nature of the bill which should be
passed by Congress. This is unfortunate
but should not stand in the way of the
enactment Of bill which will give relief
to the District.
There is no earthly reason why the
people Of Washington should not have
universal transfers. If the street rail-
ways would serve their own best inter
ests. they would grant this without q
fight. Ii, however, it comes to a fight
then I shall go into 1t to win and shall

Guard Reduced to 1900.

Under the protocol of 1901 and subsidiary
arrangements terminating the Boxer trou-
bles. an understanding was reached that
the strength of the legation guards at Pc
king should be 1000 men. furnished by
the United States. Germany. France,
Great Britain. Japan Italy. Austria-H Hun
gary and Russia in about equal numbers
The total number of guards Of all ma
tionalities now at Peking is only 100.
At the same time 1t was arranged that
permanent garrisons for the protection Of
the railway should be maintained at Tien-
tsin and Shanghaikwan CChin-wang-tao),
the former fixed at 200 men and the lat
ter at l. 800, and also that eight other mi
nor stations along the railway should be
occupied with a force of 800 men each or
d total of $500 men of all arms as rail-
way guards. The number now stationed
along the line is approximately 300. of
which Zoo are at Tientsin and about
LOO at Shanghaikwan. Thus it appears
that the legation guards and the railway
guards are at present considerably below
their full quota
The American and French legations
guards at Peking are already at the max
inum, 80 OF 2io men, those of the other
nationalites with two or three exceptions
being at about half strength.

The officials here are satisfied that Mr.

him. 1t is suspected that these very quail
tiles involved him fatally in the great
game of International politics which the
