japanese consulate. BY order of his i'm
periaI majesty, the mikadO, a general con-
sui for all the territory west of the Ale
ghenies vii be established in this city
next week T NOsse, for years the i'm
perial japanese consul at Vancouver, B.
c., will leave British territory in few
days to assume the duties OF the Chicago
consulate. The Vancouver office is to be
tributary to the Chicago office, as it is
the desire of the N1ikado and his minis
ters to establish friendly relations with
the north and west through common
center.
The Japanese residents in Chicago have
been petitioning the imperial government
for a long time to send a representative
to this city. The trade between Japan
and the United States has been been in
creasing- rapidly and Chicago has been
the channel through which large part
of the imports Travelled. Many Japanese
have also settled here and this has had an
effect in bringing about the establishment
of the general consulate here. The Jap
anese of Chicago are preparing for the
advent of Mr.. NOsse and his assumption
of the office viii probably be celebrated
by a banquet in his honor Saturday even
ing, November 13.

Oakland, Cal, April 12.-The post
office at Fifteenth and Broadway will
soon be headquarters for the most con-
siderable and energetic cycling club in
the city, for the mailcarriers are to ride
wheels.
The equipping with wheels of Oak
lands mail delivery service means
more than would appear at first. 1t
means possibly another collection and
distribution of mail matter each dav,
and consequent improvement of the
general service. The hours OF each car
rier will be shortened and he will be
supposed to make good time.
1t is possible that the territories of
the men will be extended, but this does
not mean cutting down in service,
rather an enlargement, as the post
master would be enabled to extend his
routes and reach much further from the
heart of the city.
