Richmond would bring TO residents OF
this city a heating and lighting agent
which. it is estimated. would cost per-
haps half what ia charged for the
product supplied by the municipal
plant. In the West Virginia and Ohio
natural gas fields the price varies from
10 cents TO 50 cents for 1000 cubic
feet II Is believed that natural gas
could be piped under high pressure TO
this city and sold at n profit at about
30 or co cents.
There is still pending before tho
Council Finance Committee an ordi-
nance which proposes to reduce the
price OF gas from 90 cents 10 so cents

ties believe that the municipal plant
could supply gas at tho lower price and

CHINA'S PEACE SOCIETY
 FACES MUCH OPPOSITION TO
 PROPOSED GOVERNMENT CHANCE
Non Republican Character of So-Caed Republic Being
 Subjected to Ha Criticism

Peking to participate in a dlscuss1oE of the pros and cons of the change in the name of the government-for it would merely be a change of name But it is pertinent to inquire who ap- points these delegates, and what claim they possess to speak Ons be- half of the provinces they are said to represent. In our opinion, the se- lection of these delegates is an inn pudent inposture financed by inter ested parties for their own ends, and as remote from a really representa- tive expression of public opinion as It
 is possible to conceive.
 Many provincial petitions have a1- ready been faked in the capital and sent to the council of state for consld-- eration. The latter is itself in no way a representative body and has at least had the aense to refrain from con sidering these fictitious memorials and to decline to discuss the proposal for a, change of government. It could not consistently take any other course, AL though it possesses no substantial claim to be regarded as the national legislature it poses as such and rati- fled the amended provisional const1tu- ton under which China is supposed to be governed. Having done so it can hardly be party to any scheme for overthrowing the republic on in- ducing the president to violate his inauguration oath"
 After a discussion of recent events
 which The Times regards as proof positive that Yuan Shi-kai inspired the action of the Society for the Pre- bervation of Peace, the editorial says: Its activities, if persisted in,s may lead to serious breaches of the peace or even revive the lseparatists move ment of the south. Were the change to be made under present conditions no one would seriously believe that the President had been abSolved by the nation from, his inaugural oath. The reversion to a. monarchy ought certainly not be effected until some really representative body has passed on it.,'
 Chinese newspapers are filled with letters criticising the present mon archial movement. J. E. Jernigan, an American attorney who has practiced law in Shanghai for 20 years, and was formerly United States consul at Yokohorna, contrib utes a letter to the Shanghai Daily News in which he de- nied that the present government of China possesses a single feature en- titling it to be called a republic and says it is ridiculous to enter into ser ious discussion of a proposed con- ent government shows some disposi- ton to respect a constitution.
 Chinese students educated abroad have been harsh in their criticism of pr. Goodnow's position. In letter to the Shanghai Evening Mercury K. S.. Koh says: we are perfectly aware that Lsthe Chou An Huei (So- ciety for the Preservation of Peace) have on their side a brilliant or rather fairly well known advocate in the per son of Professor Goodnow, to say nothing of lesser satellites The pro- lessor means well. no doubt-as we'll to us as to himself; and for his of fciousness we owe him many precious thanks

MISS MAY SPOONER
 JOINS SISTER FOR WEEK ENGAGEMENT
Bridgeport PIaygoers Will See Talented Sisters Together
 Next Week.

Edna May Spooner. the talented emotional and character actress, and sister of Cecil Spooner, will for next week only, be added to the cast of the popular little stars performance of that very successful and unique com edy, The Misleading Lady," in which there is a part particularly adapted to the talents Of Edna. May Spooner.
 She is a strong favorite throughout the country, where she annually ap- pears at the head of her own organ ization and as her road tour does not commence for several weeks yet, she decided to pay a weeks visit to Sister Cecil, it being incidentally arranged for her appearance, throughout the week as an added attraction and pleasant surprise to the thousands of admirers and patrons of Cecil Spoon CT and her clever associates at-the Lyric theatre.
 This will mark the first joint ap- pearance of this unusually clever twain of stage genuises in several years, and should prove an event of special interest. to all of the thous- ands ofsCecil Spooner patrons well as the public in general.
 The rehearsals for Edna May Spooner's own company will begin Monday, Oct. 25, in New York. hence her visit and engagement here must be limited. to one week.

1 Tien-Tsin, China, Oct. 13-Promot- CTS of the Society for the Preservation of Peace, the organization which is endeavoring to re-establish the mon- archy and is generally conceded to have the support of President Yuan Shi-kai and his administration, have apparently stirred up an opposition quite different from what was ex- pected.~
 The avowed purpose of the society was to insure succession and prevent disturbances. However, the papers printed in foreign concessions almost universally have attacked the move
 ment as the possible creator of imme- diate trouble if persisted in at this time. Dr. G. E. Morrison, the English adviser of Yuan Shi-kai Is also widely discussed as having taken the same position and urged a d1scontlnu- ance of the attempt to restore the world history
 President Yuan Shi-kai is said to be extremely susceptible to foreign criticism and the general attack made on the so-caued peace society by newspape printed at various treaty ports and by students is supposed to have resulted in a temporary halting, at least, of the n1onarchial movement.
 Instad of creating a desire for the proposed change in government the effect of the monarchial movement up to the moment seems ito have been to focus attention upon the decidedly non-republican character of the so- called republic, and has subjected 1t to harsh criticism. It is generally pointed out that there really are no elected officers now in China and the government is not what it pretends to be. The press offers no especial objection to a constitutional monarch but points out that such a govern ment would merely be the same as the present with the single differ ence that the first Emperor-either Yuan Shi-kai or his son-would have life tenure instead of 1O-year term.
 In discussing the peace society's plan, the Tien-tsin Morning Times says: '"The last few weeks seem to have revealed the fact that foreign opinion, generally, is not hostile to- ward the monarchia1 movement, Many foreigners share Dr. Goodnow's view that for China. in her present condition, 8 monarchy would possess certain advantages over a republic. Providing the change were accom- pIished peaceably, and in such manner as to avoid ref1ecting discredie upon the President, it is probable that the powers would regard the episode as a purely domestic matter in which they were noI caI1eQ--up lO 4nISf- fere.
 Gan the suggested change be made, without bIoodshed. and without dis crediting the chief executiYe? It be- comes more and more doubtful as days go by, and the manoeuyres of the monarchia1 party become more fully revealed. There is not the slightest indication as yet of the W1despread desire on the part of the nation thai the President or that anyone else should ascend the imperial throne.

Was there any regular army in Wash inston's day? If not, when does it date from2
 There was no regular army as we now use the phrase till long after Washingtons day. Washington had no military education. His first military office was as lieutenant colonel of colonial militia, and his first duty was in an expedition against the French in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. AsNa prac- tical surveyor and accomplished woods man he had a good start as military leader, but his military skill all came from intuition and practical experience. The Revolutionary war left consider able body of trained soldiers, belonging to the militia of the different colonies, many of whom took part in the Indian and border wars that followed, but they were not regulars. The regular army by that name was esta bIished by congress at its first session in 17S9, but the Military academy at West Point was not established till 1902. There were some able officers in the army be- fore the establishment of the West Point academy, but, strictly speaking, the regular army of today dates from that event.
