EDWARD GAVE THANKS
Glad He Has Been Spared Long
Enough to Be Crowned King
of England.

London, Oct. 26.-The last ceremonies
connected with the inauguration Of the
reign OF King Edward VII occurred
today, when the king, accompanied by
Queen Alexandra, the Prince OF Wales
and almost all the members Of the
royal family. drove to st. Pauls ca
thedral and offered up thanks for the
recovery Of his health, which had. en-
abled him to be crowned.
The weather was rainy and small
crowds marked the royal progress
through the metropolis. At Temple
Bar the lord mayor of London and
the corporation met the king and es-
corted him 20 the cathedral. In the
nave of st. Paurs We're gathered sew
eral thousand persons, including Pre-
mier Balfour, leading members Of the
nobility, almost all the members or
the cabinet, and the foreign ambassa-
doris 10 Great Britain, among whom
was Mr.. choate. The Honorable Ar
tillery company formed an imposing
line. the members wore theit BUSHES
and carried fixed bayonets Before the
service was over several of the artil-
lerymen had tainted as a result of
long standing.
The choir, the chapter and the Bish-
op of London, the Right Rev. Arthur
Ingram, escorted the king and the
queen 10 the throne under the reredos.
There was a full choral service Of
thanksgiving followed by a sermon
from the Bishop of London, who laid
special stress upon the fact that this
was the second time in his majesty $
life that he had entered st. Pauis to
give thanks for his recovery from a
dangerous illness. At the conclusion
of the sermon the Tie Deum" was
sung.
The royal party then returned to
Buckingham palace and were well
greeted on the way. IN spite of the
rain King Edward requested that the
carriages be kept open and Queen
Alexandra bowed. The scene at St.
PauTs was a brilliant one. All OF the
officials present wore their uniforms
and their decorations created a blaze
of color seldom seen in the cathedral
King Edward was dressed in the uni
form OF a field marshal and wore the
decoration of the order OF the Gar

CITY Is UNDER WATER
Great Damage at Brunswick, Ca,
the Result of Continued
Heavy Rains.

Brunswick. Ga. Oct. 26.-As a result
of continued heavy rains for forty
eight hours. five blocks in the center
of this city are under water tonight
and heavy damage has been done. In
Newcastle street, one of the principal
blocks in the city, the water has risen
into the stores and is from ten to if
teen inches deep. The city fire de-
partment house is under water. The
jails are both flooded. and from Bay
TO Union streets. a distance of a quar-
ter of a mile, traffic is impossible
The Brunswick Electrical Supply
company has been put entirely out Of
business by the water and not a light
furnished by that concern is burning
tonight
A heavy northeaster has prevailed
for two or three days, and the only
reason assigned by mariners for the
dOwnpour is that these gales contrib
uted their share to the deluge Rail-
road traffic has been badly interfered
with and several washsuts are re
ported.

IlLITERACY AMONG WHITE CHILDREN
FOREIGN AND BORN IN THIS COUNTRY

whites are a larger per cent of the.
whole number OF such children than
the hterate children of native whites
are OF all children of native whites.
This is partly explained by the
clustering of immigrants and their chill
dren mainly in cities of the north while
the native white children live more
generally in the rural districts. Thus
In the North Atlantic division there
are 995.S51 native white children 10 10
IA years old and born OF native par
ents. OF whom 80 per cent live in cit
les having at least 25,000 inhabitants.
On the other hand. among the 1871
native white children 10 TO IL years
OF age and born OF foreign born par
ents who live in the same group Of
states, 81 per cent live in similar cit
les. There Is no reason 70 infer from
the census figures that the children of
illiteFate immigrants are constituting
a permanent nliterate class OF the pop
ulation
1T viii be noticed. however. that the
foregoing figures relate exclusively 10
Immigrants who nave been in the
country long enough for their children
born here TO have reached the age OF
10 years. Whether among the children
among immigrants Who have arrived
since 1890 there Is the same eagerness
20 acquire at least an elementary edu-
cation IL Is still too early to determine
from census figures.

Washington. Oct. 2s.-The census Of
Zee has just issued a statement giving
a compilation OF figures regarding IL
literacy among children OF immigrants
and children OF natives, The state
ment says,
"COnhning the comparison 20 chill
drtn between the ages Of 10 and IA
years In the United States, 1886 per
cent or the native white children Of
native parents and 991 per cent Of the
native white children OF foreign born
parents are able TO read and write.
This surprising difference IN favor OF
the children or the foreign born pop
ulation Is due largely to the fact that
the children Of foreign born immi-
grants live mainly In the northern and
western states. where the public school
system has already reached a high de-
sree Of efficiency. while great numbers
II white native children Of native par
eats live In the southern states and
IN that region about 10 per cent OF
such children are illiterate. When the
comparison Is carried out by geo
graphic divisions the difference be-

Atlantic states II found 70 be much
less than In the whole country. Yet

BERESFORD HAD A GOOD TIME
Well Pleased Over His Reception in
the United States.

Liverpool, Oct 2S-Vice Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford arrived here today
from New York on the Cunard line
steamer Umbria. IN the United States
Lord BeresfOrd studied the construction
of American battleships and also inyesu-
gated shipping matters. He was inter-
viewed on his trip TO America and SAID
he had had a splendid reception IN the
United States, and that he could vouch
for the genuineness OF the kind sentiment
entertained in America for Great Britain
He said his Investigations on the other
side had convinced him that Great Brit
ain had nothing TO fear from the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company on
the contrary, he believed this combine
would benefit England commercially and
otherwise. The United States" said the
admiral SIS certainly ahead of US IN
engineering and administration, and We
need to.adapt ourselves to modern ideas:
Continuing, Lord Beresford said he did
not take a pessimistic view of the situa-
ton. and did not agree that Great Britain
Was going down hill Prominent men
ought to strive to bind he two great
countries more firmly together
= "If Great Britain aud the United
States" said the admiral, were Joined IN
the interests of universal peace. and If the
rest of the world wanted 10 fight these
countries. then let the rest of the world
look out"

viii be taken tomorrow. IL Is EXPECT
ed that very little evidence viii be-
heard in Washington, as it is not the
desire of the commission to compel the
attendance of witnesses here when the
evidence they have to give can be
secured at greater convenience TO them

whether IL VIII give hearings 10 per
sons not having a direct interest In
the issues at stake between the mir
ers and operators. but who believe they
can give evidence of a practical char
acter that win assist the commission
In its work Considerable evidence OF
this character was taken by the com
mission which reported on the Chicago
strike, but unfortunately il was not
of material value in assisting that body
to arrive at It's conclusions.
Five of the mine operators or their
representatives arrived here tonight.
They included President George f.
Baer OF the Reading. (. B. Thomas or
the Erie, John B. Miller. representing
Thomas Fowler of the Ontario g
Western; David Wilcox of the Della

representing the Lehigh Valley. They

tel chatting, but refrained from dis
cussing for publication their plans for

If necessary VIII suggest such changes
