BRITISH TOOK LEAD.
Made Proposal to Japan for Joint
Mediation in China.

LONDON, December 23-Considerable
curiosity has been aroused in diplomatic
circles here with regard to the reasons
for the proposal of Great Britain and
Japan to undertake a dual mediation in
China after the powers, including the
United States. had decided to present an
Identical note to the conference now
meeting at Shanghai.
There was a tendency to believe that
the Japanese government had made the
proposal and that Japan was anxious to
intervene. 1t turns out now, however,
that the proposal really came from the
British government. acting on the belief
that the British consul at HankOw. who
had induced the combatants to agree to
an armistice, might again succeed as a
mediator in the larger question.
1t is understood that the State De-
partment at Washington is making in
quiries both in Japan and Great Britain
in regard to the proposed British-Japa-
nese mediation.
The reiterated report that the British
Japanese mediation contemplated insis-
tence on the maintenance of the mon
archical government is officially denied.
It was stated at the foreign Office. this
afternoon that the efforts of the British
government in conjunction with the
other powers were directed to assisting
China to secure for herself an efficient
form OF government based on popular
approval.

LOSES IT'S CHARTER.
Carmen's Union Suspended by the In
ternational Body.

PHILADELPHIA, December 23-The
local carmen's union, known as Division
No. ATT, of the International Amalgamat-
ed Association Of Street and Electric
Railway Emloyes, has been suspended
by the International body and ordered
to surrender its charter. A telegram to
this effect was received here today by
representatives of the international or
ganization from w. D. Mahon, president
Of the present body.
Mahon declares that the action is the
outcome Of the INSTRUMENTATION and re-
fusar' of the local division to abide by
the laws and the rules Of the association.
The trouble between the local union and
the international association is the re-
suit of a decision of the local body to
give C. C. Pratt. formerly a national
organizer, a position. Pratt. who man.
aged the last two car strikes In this
city, was defeated for reelection as ma
tional organizer. and was subsequently
made an officer in the local union.
The national body declared that Pratt
could not hold the Office. as he had never
been employed on the cars here. The
local union ignored the national body
and the suspension was the result.

Peking in Need Of Cash.

Although the lack Of money is becoming
keenly manifest in Picking, the under
standing among the powers has so far
enabled them successfully to resist the
most tempting offers of high interest and
extraordinary concessions for loans, be-
cause the advance of money. even to de-
fray the legitimate outstanding indebt-
edness Of China on account of foreign
obligations. might easily be perverted by
the Chinese press into a display of IA
voritism toward the imperialist govern
ment that would be deeply resented by
the radicals. Moreover, the very lack
of funds on both sides. it is thought,
may tend TO hasten the peace negotfa-
tons, and. therefore, it seems probable
that the six powers will adhere to their
determination to refuse further loans,
even though considerable suffering may
be involved
