to Oriental advices the Buddhists are
making great arrangements to celebrate
the beginning of the new century by
active missionary work. The recent ar
rival of some sacred relics from Siam

faith. The roads over which the relics
were borne were covered with cloth,
which was afterward sold in small
pieces at more than ten times its value,
realizing over 90, 600 yen.
They propose to collect 100000 yen
and to erect grand building as re-

has been done they intend to turn their

FOR CHEAPER CABLEGRAMs.
Heaton Believes Price Should Be
Greatly Reduced.

Greatly Reduced.
London, June 24.-In the Sunday special,
John Henniker Heaton, Conservative
member of Parliament for Canterbury,
devotes a long article to the advocacy
of cheaper postal and cable communica-
tons between Great Britain and the Uni
Ted States.
Starting with the statement. that the
British and "our trusty we'll beloved
cousins" apparently are destined together
to shape the future of mankind and con>
troll the Atlantic ocean, he urges a re-
ductiOn of transatlantic postage TO a PEN
~ and a corresponding reduction In ca
BILE charges. He argues that the war for
American independence was due to mis-
unders landings, and that misunderstand-
ings must occasionally crop up between
the two branches of the Anglo-Saxon race.
unless reforms allowing of an interchange
Of thought al a minimum rate. are car
ried into effect.
Mr.. Heaton insists that the present
methods OF electrical communication be-
tween Europe and the American continent
are a mockery to all but the wealthy,
though electrical transmission should be
cheaper than postal rates. He adds that
two cables can practically do the work
OF transmitting ZU,VVOiV4V WOIuS dlInudllyt
but ten cables are kept idle while the pub
lie is paying 81, 100000 annually.
He thinks that the two governments,
Great Britain and the United States, could
lay the cables and do the work, charging
the public 10000 annually with a profit
of $50, 900 on The investment In the cables.
If these two governments hang back he
