He would like to have some gen- ‘stem of transfers adopted. Mr. Heardexplained that the transfer system is now very geuerally applied on lines within the city. ‘The annual saving to passengers by this system tow amounts to $150,000.

THE PRESIDENT PLEASED WITH THE TONE OF THE REPLY—THE PROPOSITION FROM ENGLAND MAY BE GUBSTANTIALLY ACCEPTED—SoME DIFYI- CULTY ABOUT DAMAGES. It is generally admitted today by those who are ina position toknow that the letter of Lord Salisbury made public from London means the end of all war talk in connection with the Bering sea matter and the fina! settle- mont at an early date. 10 whole tone of the letter is regarded as conciliatory to a most satisfactory degree, and there is little doubt that the proposition mado by Lord Salisbury will be agreed to substan- tially by this government. In his letter Salisbury says that bis govern- ment is “willing when the treaty has been ratified to to an arrange- ment eimiler to that of last yenr if the United States will t ” that Litrators shonh adverse to the Uni Ag which the prohibition of se on Britis the pendency of the ¢ event of a decision in, should aasone the on of slaughter abbell, arbitration, has in- damages which the during the p flicted on the Unite in Tux San this hb government, for the reason that nowhere in the — corres- pondence did Lord Salisbury _positiv refuse to agree to « renewal of the | modus. As & gencral thing the main point at issue was evolved and the British government pa held to the position that the saivation of the scals did not necessarily mean another closed season, re is au alternative proposition spoken of in the letter, but the one quoted above is the one that gives the most satisfaction to thisgov- ernment. ‘The matter of deciding how the amount of amages dpne can best be determined will give Tise to a considerable correspondence im the ereby, de- | near future, but the general opinion seems to the actual negotiations can be amicabiy jed with but little more trouble. THE PRESIDENT SAID TO RE PLEASED. The President, it is understood, is very much pleased with the tone of Salisbury’s letter and devoted the better part of the day to a consid- eration of the next move he will make with reference to it The — negotia- tions, ever since they have reached a \e to the | cfitical stage have been conducted by the President in person and the firm stand he has taken all along, as well as his efforts to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion have been received with the greatest favor on all mdes, more expecially among officials in this city wno have watched COSSEQUEXTIAL DAMAGES.

WHAT CONGRESSMEN SAY. Members of Congress are unusually reticent in expressing opinions on Lord Sulisbury's propositions as contained in his last two notes to Sir Julian Pauncefote concerning a renewal of the modus vivendi.
