.NATIONALIZED RAILROADS
MAY BE ENGLAND'S NEXT
Royal Commission to Study Re
lations Between the Com
panies and the State.
[By Cable to The Tribune. ]

London. Oct. 24.-An important Off
cial announcement last night seems to
indicate that the whole question Of the
naturalization Of British railways is
TO receive consideration. A royal COM
mission has been appointed to inquire
into the relations between the railway
companies of Great Britain and the
state in respect to matters other than
safety of working and conditions OF
employment, and report what changes.
If any, are desirable in such relation
ship.
Recently a number of Members OF
Parliament interested in railway ma
tionalization met the Prime Minister
privately and discussed matters, and
the royal commission is the result.
although the definite appointment Of
the commission is not expected until
next session. 1t is known, however
that Earl Loreburn, former Lord Chan
cellor will be its chairman.
1t is significant that Mr.. Lloyd
George, when opening his land cam
paign at Bedford on October II. re-
ferred to the possibility of cheaper rail-
way facilities for British agricultural
produce.
George James Wardle, NJ. p. for
Stockport, who is one OF the represen-
tatives Of the railway mems interests
In the House OF Commons, says It Is
the undoubted object Of the commission
TO survey the whole field of railway
work so far as the same affects the
national well being. 1t is obvious. in
his opinion, that any such commission
which at the present time did not in
clude naturalization within its scope
would be futile.

Thinks Bankers Would Agree.

do YOU think that bankers generally
would accept the plan or would we
| have another Boston convention II We
adopted it," Senator Reed asked Mr..
Vanderlip.
Il think bankers generally would be
somewhat shocked at first by the idea
Of absolute government control an
swered Mr.. Vanderlip, but think that
when they understood the safeguards
thrown about the appointment Of the
controlling board and the quality OF
men who would be named they would
accept 1t with great favor.
1t eliminates the provision OF the
administration bill which would force
banks to supply part Of their funds
to the national system. eliminates the
Objectionable principle that would COM
pei mutual rediscounting among fed
eral reserve banks and provides for the
issue Of true banknotes instead OF gov
eminent fiat money"
After Mr.. Vanderlip had presented
his plan the committee heard Jacob :.
Coxey, general OF the army OF the
unemployed" which descended on the
capital in 1893. He urged that the
government take over the entire bank
ing business, issue fiat money against
bonds for all public Improvements and
generally eliminate banking operations
on which interest is charged.

EnqIish Public Men Hold HIM
Responsible for Attitude IN
Mexican Situation.
BELIEVE OUTLOOK SERIOUS
General Feeling Expressed
That Nothing in Mexico
Should Drive England
and U. S. Apart.
rBy cable 70 The Tribune. !

London. oct 24-Close inquiry IN
London shows a feeling here that the
relations between England and Amer
ica have not been so serious as they
are now over Mexico since the Nene-
7ueIan controversy. 1t is generally
realized and stated that nothing IN 'he
actual condition of internal anars III
Mexico should drive England ahc
America apart. or cause the slightest
breach in the most friendly relations
but on account of the outside Interests
injected the situation holds more po'
tentialities for trouble than any known
in the last twenty years.
The worst of the situation is that II
is fully realized that American inter
ests in Mexico are greater, both imam
cially and geographically, and that th'
English government is making a hgh'

cannot possibly be satisfactory to
America.
Appreciation of the delicacy of the
situation by the Foreign Office is best
shown by the situation OF the Eng

REBELS ATTACK MONTEREY
Said to Have Taken Some of
the Outlying Positions.

Mexico City, Oct Z3.-Fighting is re-
ported in progress in the outskirts OF
Monterey Rebels are said to have made
a dash into suburb and to have taken
possession of some of the outlying posi-
tons.
The attack on Monterey began this
morning. the first shots being fired about
10 o'clock. Soon sfterward the telegraph
lines were cut and communication ceased

State OF Michoacan, while they were de-

The villagers fought until their ammuni-
tion was exhausted and then used
machetes, stones and clubs to beat off
their assailants, but they were overcome
and killed and the village burned.
Rebels are reported to have tortured

Nav Have to Retain Power.

Huerta pointed out that the elections
are to take place on october %. and. UNI
der the laws of Mexico. il is necessary
for a majority of all the voting precincts
i'm the republic to send in their election
returns. II is possible that in great
part of the republic the present disturb
ances may prevent the people from hav-
ing an opportunity to vote. and 1t is not
unlikely that when the returns are re-
celved in November 1t may be found that
fewer than the legal number OF precincts
have expressed their wish at. the polls.
In this event the constitution settles the
problem by calling for new elections and
in the meantime the de facto government
i'm Mexico must continue.

Opposition Papers Festive.

Opposition papers are becoming very
FESTIVE under this treatment, and their
attitude is made plain by such edi-
torials as the following from The Pal
Mall Gazette to-day
THE deep dissatisfaction reported TO
exist in the United States over the rec
IGNITION of Huerta by the British gov
eminent ought not TO escape public at
tention in this country. We do not
pronounce judgment against the For
eign Office out of hand. Sir Edward
Grey may be able to give very good
reasons for declining to support the
policy of President Wilson, but Ameri-
cans are nearer the spot and likely the
best able TO judge. At any rate. their
susceptibility concerning any matter
that touches the Panama Canal can
easily be understood, and understand
ing ought to bring sympathetic consid-
GRAFTON.
The suggestion that the attitude Of
his majesty's government is connected
with oil concessions is not likely and
may be utterly unfounded, but. if so,
the earliest possible steps ought to be
taken to clear away any misunder-
standing The friendship of the United
States is more important than an Oil
concession.
I'VE are unable to believe that the
interview with Sir Lionel Garden re-
ported in the American papers is genu-
inc. That the representative Of the
British government criticised the policy
Of the States in conversation with re-
porter is unthinkable. and we trust a
very speedy disclaimer will be forth
coming. And we find it no less diff
cult to believe that Sir Edward Grey
will support Huerta through thick and
thin despite the objections Of the
United States.
NO ono advocates an indiscriminate
surrender Of legitimate British inter-
ests 10 preserve American friendship,
but we ought 10 recognize that, how
ever great are British interests in Mex
leo. they are commercial only, while
those of the United States are national,
and, therefore, paramount
Gardens Appointment Unfortunate.
The appointment of Sir Lionel Car
den as minister TO Mexico is felt to
have been most untimely and unfortu-
nate. Sir Lionel is a close friend of
Lord Cowdray. and no doubt exists
that the latter dictated his appoint
ment.
OF course the government can easily

Fate Depends on Wilson.

Although a majority Of the Banking
and Currency Committee members are
in favor Of the Vanderlip plan ana
there now appears to be some basis TOT
the hope expressed by Senators OGor-
man and Reed that the committee
would come to unanimous agreement
the fate Of the plan is in the HANDS oil
the President. II would undoubtedly
meet with such support on the Repup-
lican side that it could be adopted even
II small part of the Democratic hia
jority approved of II. With the fresl-
dents approval IL would probably meet
with little opposition. and the DEBATE
would be reduced to minimum
Senator Bristow, whose ideas OF cur-
rency reform appeared to be irreconcl-
able with the methods proposed by the
Glass-Owen bill, said to-day that MT
Vanderlip, although proceeding from
different premises and with diriereh'
purpose il mind. had apparently Or
rived at the end he had in view"
bank under government or pubic coh-
troll which would be conducted Tor 'he
benefit of all the banks and general
public without being in any way con-
trolled by bankers.
Mr.. Vanderlip replied that in franz
ing the plan. to which he had given all
Of his attention since his first appear
ance before the committee. he had tried
to meet the views expressed by the
members. In this. it appears. he has
succeeded.
Some doubt was expressed by MEM
bers of the committee to-day OF Inc
advisability Of establishing a national
clearing house, because of the OPPOSE
ton OF the country bankers to the pr"-
posed requirement to discount checks
at par MIR. Vanderlip expressed the
opinion that. although the country
banks would lose the profits they make
in exchange charges, the advantages
that would accrue to them from ;he
operation Of the proposed system would
more than offset the losses they would
sustain.
Members of the committee also sug-
gested that the federal bank notes
should be made legal tender To this
Mr. Vanderlip objected. on the ground
that the notes were "A credit inStru-
ment and not money. that they repre-
scented a promise TO pay and that II
was unjust TO make any one accept
them as money.

1t is felt that the situation is now

The question is. Can Lord Cowdray

situation most critical
Declares No Trouble in Sight.
In an editorial, The Times SAYS:

tend that the Washington government
has not felt some disappointment, and

AS GIVEN IN DETAIL
Provisions for a Central Bank,
Controlled by Government,
Set Forth to Senators.

Washington, oct. 23-The plan for a

ment, as outlined by Frank A. Vanderlip
! to-day to the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency. is as follows:
