Send Unfavorable Report to Con.
gress on the Carlin Bill.

Unfavorable report on Representa-
tive Carlin's bill to remove the Wash
Virginia Railway Company from
the jurisdiction Of the public utilities
commission was sent to Congress today
by the District Commissioners.
The Commissioners point out that
the road operates over a number of
streets in the District and that most
of the power used by the company is
generated within the District.
THE Commissioners view with con-
cern." states their report, "the at
tempts Of the utilities to bring about
special exemptions from the public utili-
ties law; This law has now been in
effect only three years and during this
time the labors Of the commission have
been largely preliminary to putting
its provisions into full effect. A change
such as is contemplated in this bill
may be far-reaching in its results. It
is impossible to foresee what powers
Of regulation over this utility would
remain to the commission after the
courts Interpretation OF the law as
thus amended"

PRINCIPALS NAMED
ALONE BLACKL|STED
No Others to Be Affected, Brit
ish Ambassador Explains
to State Department.

The British blacklist Is not intended
to go beyond the principals named in
the list and there can be no indirect
injury to American firms. This was ex-
planned to the State Department today
by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
ambassador.
It was represented that there Is no
idea Of blacklisting a neutral firm
merely because it continued to do busi-
ness with firm that is blacklisted,
but If a neutral firm habitually and
Systematically acted as cover for the
blacklisted firm and so caused direct
trading between British firms and
blacklisted firms, the cases would be
different
Payments by Neutra1s Unaffected.
Regarding payments to blacklisted
not to affect payment by neutrals. as
the British government habitually
grants licenses to British firms to pay
current debts to blacklisted firms, un-
less 1t is clear beyond doubt that such
payments would be passed on to or Gre
ate a credit for enemy Arms in enemy
territory.
The department was informed that
many licenses already have bee-
granted to British firms to receive from
and pay to Knauth. Nachod & Kuhne
and Zimmerman and Forshay, and that
there is no objection to the Goodyear
Tire Company filing outstanding con-
tracts, but that 1t would be we'll to OBJ
tain a statement of the amount untitled.
Lord Robert Cecil Contradicted.
BERLIN. Thursday, July 27, via Lon
don, July 20, 1903 p.m.-The reply Of
Lord Robert Cecil, minister Of war
trade. in the British parliament on the
British black list and the insinuation
that it only followed the German exam
pie, evoked sharp semi-off1cial re-
joinder from the Norddeutsche Allge-
meine Zeitung, which accuses the min
lister of equivocation and trifling with
the truth.
The newspaper writes that Lord Rob-
ert CeciIs arguments were already
controverted in the German memoran-
dunn to the neutrals of June Is on the
neutral firms Lord Robert did not at
tempt, the newspaper says. to reply to
the memorandum, but tried to blacken
Germany by asserting that Germany
resorted to similar measures against
firms in neutral countries.
This assertion" the newspaper adds,
lis absolutely untrue. No measure ever
was adopted in Germany which in any
way is comparable to the illegal inter-
ference Of England in the commercial
liberties of neutrals.'

GERMAN REFERENDUM
AS TO PEACE PROPOSED

LONDON, July 29.-The socialist
newspaper volksmacht of Breslau. says
a dispatch from Zurich to the Central
News Agency. declares that the reich
stag no longer reflects the true opinion
of the German people and it demands
a referendum to discover whether the
people really desire peace. The Volks-
macht is quoted as saying:
THE people ought to be given an op-
portunity to affirm whether they wish
an early peace without conquests, or
wish to continue the war until these
are assured"
The newspaper further proposes the
formation of popular league in favor
of peace.

SAYS ENGLISH CRUISER
S|CNALED THE LOUISIANA
Commander Phelps Reports to Navy
Department on Chesapeake
Bay Incident.

In regard to the controversy as to
whether an English cruiser entered
Chesapeake bay early Tuesday morning
Commander Phelps of the Louisiana
has reported to the Navy Department
that a vessel carrying man-o'-war
lights was seen in Chesapeake bay in
the dark of the morning Of July 25. and
signaled English cruiser" in response
to inquiry. Commander Phelps did not
ask the name Of the vessel because he
did not consider the course Of the ves-
sci suspicious. He expected to find her
off Fort Monroe at daylight.
Following is Commander Phelps re-
port:

without any other illumination what
ever, came up on the starboard quar-
ter of the Louisiana, distant perhaps
not more than $50 yards. heading for
the channel into Hampton roads.
Had Answer Repeated.
'The Louisiana blinkered interroga-
tory to her several times and turned
on man-of-war lights. Finally she answer
ed (blinker) English cruiser" She
signaled very rapidly, causing the
Louisiana to have her repeat more
than once until we were sure OF her
signal. s
She disappeared in the thickness
toward the channel to Hampton roads.
Il did not signal to ask her name
and her intentions because her actions
had not seemed suspicious to me, in
asmuch as she seemed fairly to dis
close her presence, seemed fairly
standing for Hampton roads and left
me with the feeling that she was actu-
ally going into port and would be
found off Fort Monroe in the morning"
