CHICAGO, May "A movement ls said TO be
on foot in the Spanish court. with strong pros
poets OF success, TO raise the degree of the
Spanish representative at Washington from
minister plenipotentiary to ambassador pleni-
potentiary and make the Duke of yeragua the
ambassador to Washington.
senor Muruagua is the present Spanish min
lister TO the United States. The duke could
not accept ministry. but with all dignity and
in consideration of his position could become
ambassador. The duke is apparently ignorant

not doubt that he would gladly accept he head
of the embassy to Washington If it were offered

We're the Understanding Nation.
TSt. Louis Globe-Democrat.I !

[St. Louis Globe-Democrat.J
'sIt is quite mistake" said Walter
Meacham, ''to say we have too many
national and special holidays in this
country. On the average, men work
S06 days in the year in the United
States, whereas in England the average
is only 27S. In Scotland it is three days
less, while in Bavaria, Belgium. France,
Denmark, and most Of the German
provinces, the number of days is only
800. In many parts of Canada it is not
possible to work more than 270 days in
the year. The United States heads the
list, and although commercial and
building activity creates a demand for
labor which is largely accountable for
this activity, the absence Of holidays
has also something to do with it. Men
can prosper with only working on an
average 800 days in the year, and it
would be a very good thing if this
country would designate few national
holidays, like the bank holidays OF
England, on which a little recreation
could be taken. Foreigners are apt to
take the closing of share and grain ex-
changes for national holidays, but
nine-tenths of the population are not
even aware when the spectators are
taking days holiday, and their hours
of labor are not affected"

THE SOUTHLAND THE EAST.
Brought Closer Together by the Richmond
and Danville's Now Schedule.

Beginning Sunday, May 7th, the
Richmond and. Danville railroad in
augurated "The United States Fast
Mail" limited schedule to and from
the East, which makes the distance
between all Southern points and the
great Eastern cities seem less than ever
before. Nearly a whole day will be
saved on the Eastern mails and papers,
which will be delivered at sll principal
points along the line Of the Richmond
and DaDville railroad by their new fast
limited train covering the South with
the quickest mail delivery ever made
by the United States government.
"The United States Fast Mail" will
carry through Pullman vestibuled
sleepers between Atlanta ard New
York without change. -"
The time of the Northbound train is
also shortened between Atlanta and
Washington making quicker eonnec-
tons for the East. -,
It is expected that still further I'M
proyements will be announced in few
days.
