NO DIsREsPECT.
But just Icy Coldness Shown the
Prince of Wales.

Berlin, Jan. 27.-No disrespect was
shown to the Prince of Wales. The
prince arrived yesterday to represent
King Edward at the celebation of the
anniversary of the birth of Emperor
William today. German crowds have
deep respect for royal personages and
are too thoroughly policed to insult
them. But in a city where the lifting
of ones hat is as universal as ordinary
civility, it was strange to see the crowds
refrain from raising their hats and TO
bear no mourners of applause when the
prince went by.
The last experience abroad of the
Prince of Wales was his departure amid
cheers, from the shores Of Newfound-
land. The streets through which he was
obliged to pass today on his way to visit
the British ambassador were without
single British flag. While receiving the
most elaborate attentions from the fam
lily of Emperor William and from Ger
man officials, the Prince of Wales must
feel the chilling attitude of the German
public. Almost all the newspapers re-
frain from editorial comment on his visit.

HIGHER SPEED FOR AUTOS.
British Government About to Raise
the Present Limit.

London, Jan. 27.-Automobilists whose
consciences have been hardened by re-
peated evasions and infractions of the
speed laws may again become self
respecting and at the same time enjoy
life, for the government is about to
raise the speed limit This has been
brought about as result of recent
brake trials held by the Automobile
club, which demonstrated clearly that
an automobile can be driven at a fair
speed and at the same time be stopped
quickly.
The government has therefore been
convinced that a greater speed than the
12-mile limit now operative would not
be a serious menace to life and limb.

Will Soon Be Placed in Market

patented a new section boiler which
will be placed on the market in short
