Washington, Oct. 28-Great Bri- tain's note in reply to American rep resentatives against the commercial blacklist was received today at the state department.

CHAPMAN ORDERS MPR0VEMENT IN
 TROLLEY SERVICE
Complaint of Fairfield Resi- dent to Result in Less
 Carelessness.

A promise that the service of the Connecticut Co. will be bettered in some respects, has been wrung from Manager c. H. Chapman, by a Fair field resident.
 The promise followed a complaint made to Manager Chapman, by a resident who raced with jitney bus a trolley, from Fairfield to the center of the city, to get the crew's numbers.
 According to Fairfield and Stratford commuters, it frequently occurs that "trippers," sent out on the lines to pick up short haul passengers and thus relieve the through cars from Stratford, run past waiting commut- CTS, who then must board, if they can, the already overloaded suburban cars.
 At o'clock yesterday morning, Everett L. Tarlton, who is connected with the Bridgeport Brass Con- pany, standing with a group, of Fair felders at F1int's corner, Fairfield, was passed by the "tripper," which was supposed to flag through the suburban car. Most of the group piled on the overloaded car following, but as he has been stung frequently, MT. Tarltop signalled jitney bus, paid the driver half dozen fares and told him to race until he caught up to the trolley cm
 The trolley car was speeding, but near the center of the city, the bus caught it. MT. Tar1ton called an in- spector, told him of the occurrence and~the crew was called to account. They admitted the accusation; and ad-- mitted they had had a verbal scrap with the crew of the other car and wished to inconvenience them. Man ager Chapman took note of the case and promised to see that the occur renee is less frequent.
 Another inconvenience protested is the custom of the crews labelled Southport, or Fairfield, ordering pas Many who have been enjoying seats in 3 moderate1y-f filled car object to leav- ing them for an overcrowded car in which there is scarcely standing room, when they have taken the car signs in good faith.
 Rebellions have occurred many times come near blows.
 The fighting blood of passengers in Fairfield has also been aroused by the desire of many crews from Bridgeport 70 shoot by the white pole in front of St. Thomas church, because it is only ! few minutes walk to the next one. The Westport crews seldom commit his transgression.

 that it violates no law for the British
 government admits the rights of all persons in neutral countries to engage in legitimate commission transactions, it argues that such a right does not limit the right of other governments to restrict the activities of their own nationals.
 The point at issue in he controversy is whether the nationality or the domi- cile of the owner of goods gives char acter as neutral or belligerent. Pre- viously, Great Britain and the United States have agreed that the domicile
 was decisive regardless of the nation-
 ality. The continental European posi-

 blacklist, Great Britain took a posi-
 tion between the two theories.
 The subject probably will be car
 ried on in further diplomatic cor

AMERICANS HARD SMOKERS.
Physician Commends Temperate Meth
DDS of the Japanese.

DR.. Robert Able in the current num.
Der of the Medical Record finds that
meerschaum pipe smoking is unfashion
able; that brier woods are less and less
used, and that cigars and cigarettes
are alone in an undisputed field. If one
must smoke, however, he commends the
methods of the japanese, who fill n
tiny bowl of an artistic pipe with a bit
of mild, golden thread tobacco. Almost
an aroma rather than smoke comes
from the three puffs which consumes
all that the bowl will hold. After a
few minutes of polite conversation the
ashes are knocked into a bamboo re-
ceiver. This is what the physician calls
the very refinement of smoking.
