Capitalists have practically COM
pleted plans for the construction Of a
railroad between Baltimore, Md, and
Norfolk, Va, which when finishe2 will
bring the two cities within four hours
of each other, and will greatly facil-
itate passenger and freight service
through rich section of Maryland
and Virginia. 1t is said that the COM
pany promoting the project originally
planned to make the terminus at Wash
ington, but the idea was abandoned,
and it has been finally decided to make
the terminal in Maryland. The new
road will in all probability enter Bait
more by a connection with the An
napolis Short Line Railroad, possibly
at Annapolis. Preliminary surveys
of the proposed line have been made,
it is said, and the plans Of the CAPT
talists backing the proposition are fast
assuming definite shape. The con-
struction cost Of the road, it is esti-
mated, will be in the neighborhcod of

CHINESE PEOPLE
 MAKE OPPOSITION
 10 FOREIGN LOANS

Pekin, May 25.-Popular opposition to the $30O.000, 900 foreign loan and the imperative need of the govern 1a ment for ready funds which i1neas the loan n crisis, today. in President Yuan Shi Kai's cabinet and its disorganization was imminent.
 The national assembly. President Yuan and Vice-President Lii received by telegraph from Nankin, today. me- the foreign syndicate. The memor- ials were signed by the chief of gen. eral staff, Huan Sin, and were couch ed in the strongest terms. They cal)- ed upon the government to annul the contract with the six powers on the ground that the terms of the loan practically invested the syndicate with control of the Chinese army.
 To raise needed funds, Huan urged the issuance of 'inconvertible paper currency and the opening of a na- tional subscription. The Chinese, he said, would come to the aid of their own government to save it from the embarrassing terms of the foreign loan.
 Huan's position as active head of the army gave his memorials great significance. The cabinet fears that the military, already restless over de- ferred wage payments in the event of who is a popular idol. Also the fact that the petitions came from Nankin, where the revolution was born, gave the cal binet reason to pause.
 The $300. 100000 loan was clinched by the foreign bankers, 10 days ago, upon the definite acceptance by the Chinese authorities of the principle of dual supervision by local and foreign auditors of the disbursement of the company. Against this proposition, today's memorials were directed.

Discuss Ten Foot Centers
Street Committee Conference Unat- tended By Connecticut Co.'s
 Representative

Prospects of permanent paving work on Fairfield avenue this year, hinge solely upon the possibilities of com promise being reached between the city and The Connecticut Co over the ten-foot center question If this com promise cannot be reached the sug- gestion has been made that the city undertake other permanent paving work which is needed, such as the desired improvement to Elm street
 The Streets and Sidewalks commit tee talked the matter over yesterday afternoon at a meeting in the city hall It was expected that some rep resentative of The Connecticut Co. would be in attendance at the meet ing. Notice of it was sent to Super intendent c. H. Chapman of the troll ley company. MT. Chapman did not show up. 1t was learned afterward that he did not understand that the meeting was for the purpose of bring tng the matter of a compromise be- fore the company. Anyway his time was taken up in showing members Of the Utilities commission about the city on their annual inspection trip.
 Because the trolley company was not represented 1t was proposed to have another meeting Friday after noon and to request that MT. Chap man or some one else be. sent from the trolley company to consider the IahttcI. Ol TcdClilu& q COIupTOIQlS6. The committee believes that the con- dition of Fairfield avenue needs i'm mediate attention and all efforts at a compromise on the ten-foot center question will have to do with the con- templated work on this particular street.
 The city engineer who was present at the meeting was asked how much 1t would cost to pave Elm street and after a good deal of figuring it was estimated that it might cost the city something like $3,000. The plan of paving this street if no compromise is reached on the Fairfield avenue situation, seemed to be in favor of the committee members who believe that a court decision in the ten-foot center question is desired to settle the matter for once and all
 A public hearing on the question of allowing The Connecticut Go. to relay it's tracks on Barnum avenue, between Seaview and Mill Hill avenues, on ten foot centers, will be recommended. There is expected to be protest against this. Extension of Denver avenue will be recommended. It is desired that this street be extended to Fairfield avenue. The matter will come befo1 the next meeting of the Common Council. J. J. Mcfarland, a large property owner on the street opposes the extension and a fight is antici- pated.
