The Worlds Polite Languages


The delegates to the universal postal
congress nearly all speak the French lam
guage. inasmuch as that is the polite
language OF the world. All Of the pro-
ceedings of the postal congress are held
IN the French language. and for that rea-
son the delegate who does not speak
French is practically useless to himself
and his country. Great care had To be
taken in naming the delegates TO repre-
sent the United States TO get men who
could speak fairly good French. Gen.
George s. Batcheller. of Washington. and
Edward Rosewater, of Omaha. speak
French excellently, and were chosen by
the postmaster general because they COM
bined this accomplishment with other ex-
ce!lent traits. Neither one, however. is
acquainted with the technicalities of the
postal service, and therefore several Of
ncers OF the postoffice are appointed 10
furnish the technical knowledge.

pletely destroyed by fire Saturday evening.
The loss is s50O,OOO, the total insurance car

Negotiations have been in progress for
some time for the transfer of the company

whether the deal had progressed so far
that the loss falls on the new combine or
on the original company. The fire broke
out at Z o'clock in the sulphurl room, APP
parently with an explosion. The factory
Shut down Sunday because of the coal
famine and only enough steam was made
to keep up the fire pressure. The sprink-

R. G. DUN & co.'s REVIEW.
Remarkable Rise in Wheat the Sen.
satiOn of the Month.

sNNIOn Oh the MONTH.
X. G. Dun tS Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade says: The end of uncertainty re-
gartling duties on imports gives greater
confidence alike to those who have op-
posed and those who have favored. The
great strength in stocks, particularly in
those OF the granger list, reflects assurance
OF heavy crops. The remarkable rise in
Wheat, Notwithstanding that assurance,
is based on heavy buying for export and
belief that foreign demands will he large.
10 these must be added another element of
confidence scarcely observed Il week
ago. The heavy increase in the receipts
OF gold, whether from one side of the
Alaska border or the other, swell deposits
ut the mints and in the banks of this
country, and if the yield from tile new
regions answers current expectations, il
may have an influence akin to that of gold
discoveries in California. The one rctard-
ing force, the strike of the coal miners, has
caused closing of a few manufacturing
works for want of fuel, but negotiations
for settlement are still pushed with hope.
The wheat market is the sensation of the
month. Since July . the price had risen
II cents by Wednesday, when reaction
oil cents was not surprising, but the close
