Austrian Army Inactive.

London, Aug. ia st. Petersburg
dispatch to the Daily Mail says: The
inactivity of the Austrian army is
widely commented on by the Russian
newspapers. Their army must be fully

raids across the frontier. The news
papers remark that Austria's delay
greatly favors Russia because each
day gained renders the possibility OF
Austrian success more reomte."

TO DISCUSS VALUE

Convention of Railway Men at

The work of arriving at a physical

reflection in the program of the con-
ventton of the American Electric Rail-
way Association to be held at Atlantic

Three of the main addresses and the
report of one of the committees deal
with the question of valuation, which.
railway men believe. however, to be
overrated as basis for the making
of rates. This Is the view that is
shared by most of the progressive util-
ity commissions which have laid down
the general rule that physical valua-
ton Is but one of the things to be
taken into consideration in fixing the
rate of return.

MAYOR ALSO GETS
 AFTER TROLLEY CO.
Writes to Vice President Storrs Con-
 cerning the Anticipated Ex- tensions in This City.

After a stiff letter yesterday after noon to the United Electric Light and Water company protesting against the poor service given the city last night, Mayor Quigley wrote letter to Vice President Storrs of the Con- necticut company, taking him to task for his failure to live up to the prom ises he made about trolley extensions in this city. The letter follows:
 "It is with a feeling of regret that I am again compelled to write you regarding the matter of trolley exten- sion in our city. In your letter. of June 26 you stated that at meeting of the directors held in New York on June 25, committee was appointed to examine into the northwest troi- ley extension, and that you hoped to undertake this examination shortly after the middle of July and we would receive a report by August 1.
 New Britain has become accus- toned to broken promises made by the Connecticut company but I did expect after all your assurances that at least a report of your committees findings would be given us.
 "At your suggestion a survey of the northwest district was made and a report mailed you. As yet, We have received no acknowledgement of this report. -..
 1T told you on June 27 that feared very much that if your com mittee waited until after the middle of July it would mean indefinite post ponement of the building of the northwest line and my conclusion seems to have been correct, that such is the intention of your company
 "As I have told you in previous let ters conditions existing in this section can no longer be tolerated as the congestion in. this district is menace to the health and morals of the en- tire community.
 'lf further appeals are futile and we can expect nothing from you, kindly let me know at once and we will take such action as we may deem best to safeguard and promote the in- terests of our city.
 Respectfully yours,
