Gco.rs pliers in Washington have been max.
ing studies in the languages OF various peoples
with whom we come In contact. with view to
formulating rules for tho uniform spelling Of
place names. They have found Chinese names
a rather hard nut to crack. and in their report
they have made some observations on the
Chinese language which arc calculated to
excite surprise that the Chinese can read their
language at ALL
The report says that OF all existing Ian
Guages Chinese is spoken by the greatest
number OF people. and In consequence OF the
political domination and influence OF China
over neighboring States. it has become the
medium OF intercourse among the educated
eastern Asiatic nations generally. OF the

II was announced early yesterday morning
that tho Passaic River was so low that the
pumps at North Belleville which Supply Newark
with water, we're sucking air and something
would have to be done quickly to avert water
famine in the city. The new water was right
at tho gates OF the reservoir on the hill back OF
Bellevillc. however. and at odd times for two
weeks or more the big street conduit has boon
dribbling few million gallons day into the
basin while tests were going on along the pipe
line. Word was sent to the office OF the East
Jersey Water CompsnyA and the gates were
opened so that 15OOO.0OO gallons OF pure
Pequannock water could run into the Newark
pipes In twenty -four hours. Then tho Belle

provisions about the removal Of vegetation
and shallow .Howage. not having been fully
complied with according to the terms Of the
contract. The reservoirs are full. however.
and the pipe line is completed. The contract
calls for completion OF the work on May ]. but
there Is every reason why the city OF
Newark should take the water at once
II the provisions OF the contract are carried
out. Thoy are not, however. md serious Ques-
ton has been raised about the acceptance Of
the work as 1t stands to-day. Jersey City Is
after the surplus which Newark cannot use
in. the LIE. islature to give the city power to
take 1t by hook or crook. The works are to
belong to Newark in their entirety after
eleven years. when $1,000. 900 will be paid be-

when the works are accepted.

"OsBonNE- Jan. 25-I must again give ex-

renders 1t hard for his sorely stricken parents.
his dear young bride. and fond grandmother
to bow with submission to the inscrutabls de-
crees OF Providence.
THE sympathy Of millions. touching and

me was as great as that Of a son could be. In

my bereavements Of the last thirty years Of
my reign have been indeed heavy. and though
the labors. anxieties. and responsibilities In
separable from my position have also been
great. yet 1t Is my earnest prayer that God
will continue to give me health and strength
to work for the good and happiness OF my dear
country and empire while life lasts.

This utterance Of the Queen is q subject Of
general comment everywhere. and particu.
larry the fact that. although she has lost two
children. she counts the death OF the Duke OF
Clarence as bereavement second only to tho
death OF the Prince Consort. thus confirming
what has teen said OF her Majestys deep az
