Contracy to the feeling that has prevailed that econ- omy might carried to danger- ous degree in the administration, the message breathed a spirit of progress and confidence which encouraged those who look for advancement not retrogression in the city affairs. Not the least practical of the rec- ommendations was the one that urged members of the eouncil to familiarize themselves with the workings of the various city departments, the declaring that he in this re- spect, was gestion. The Mayor desires to have his ad- ministration marked something permanent in the of advance- ment. His presentation of the mat- ter of disposing of the present city hall, as more valuable for purposes other than that for which it is now used, and the erection of a new city building where all the city's busin: may be transacted, is evidence of this fact, though the wisdom of the move is the one questionable merit in the ulation and_adver. st annlysis of nostatistics are udit, Thia (nenres pro- frind in newspaper dis- to both natlonal and lo- reulat The message of the common council last general be a Mayor himself, to advfee and open sug- by line message. Also, along the same line, is his recommendation that at least mile of permanent pavement be laid each year. Incidentally the message, in this regard as well as in all others, was noticeable for its failure to criti- cize actions or lapses in administra- tions of the past. Among the matters disclosing a de- sire to advance broad-minded lines were the recommendations physical training of policemen firemen; the consideration of the two- platoon system for the latter; the pur- chase of an ambulance for emergency cases; better quarters for persons who are objects of charity of the city; the continuation of Rocky Hill {fum; improvement of the Honor and the emphasis seriousness of the situation South street and where, it was urged, the grade crbss- ings should be abolished or gates in- stalled. The recommendation that from the legislature be sought transportation matters to the end that this city might have “some voice” in transportation arrangements within its boundaries, touched upon a mat- ter which Mayor Pazonessa has very close to his heart The subject will be pushed under his administration.

Either there is great wisdom in the League, or a great inefficiency.

Insist That China Make Known Status of Province of Manchuria Peking, May 18.—(By Associated Press)—The foreign powers through their legisiations here are awaiting an explanation from the Peking gov- ernment concerning the status of Manchuria which Gen. Chang Tso-Lin has declared part of his newly estab- lished empire. Foreign Minister Yen is undm‘?flofld to have prepared a note which will be presented soon explaining that Gen. Wu Pei-Fu's troops are being rushed north from Tien Tsin to crush Chang's army, which recently suffered a bad defeat in the campaign near Peking. The note will urge the powers to negotiate no treaties with Chang which would violate the agreements concluded at Washington, and at the same time it will emphasize that the general's seizure of the postoffices, customs and salt and railway admin- istrations of Manchurian has already involved foreign interests. “OLD BAILEY” CROWDED.
