The surveyor now reports that the ex-
pertinent was very satisfactory through
out the dry weather. but in wet weather
the conditions of the road were very
bad, the mass of Shiny mud, water and
oil producing a vile compound.
A story comes from Scotland, which is
one of those little ironies of life, about a
millionaire being found travelling .irst-
class on a railroad with a third class
ticket. The story refers to Mr. Andrew
Carnegie. and is to this effect:
He went to a small station and asked
for a ticket. The average passenger at
this point is very democratic, and trav-
els third class. and is certainly not a
millionaire. The clerk, therefore, gave
Mr.. Carnegie third-class ticket.
Mr.. Carnegie only discovered this
when sternly asked on the train to pay
the difference in fares. OF course Mr..
Carnegie produced the necessary
amount.

MASSES CHEER EDWARD,
CLASSES STAY At HOME
Latter Indifferent to Royal
Pageant.
KING SHOWS DIsPLEAsuRE
East and South London Crowded With
Monarch's Humber Admirers, Who
Greet Him With Acclaim.

LONDON, Oct. 25.--It was demonstrat-
ed today that the better class of Lon
doners dislike street pageants, even in
the form of royal professions.
IT would not be fair or reasonable, how
ever. TO infer that the lack of interest
shown by all except the denizens of East
and South London signified any absence
of loyalty or the personal unpopularity
of King Edward and Queen Alexandra.
On the contrary no monarch in Europe
enjoys more hearty support of all classes
of subjects than their majesties of Great
Britain.
The King Displeased.
1t was only natural. perhaps. that the
Kings face should indicate his disap-
pointmcnt at the contrast in numbers
and enthusiasm between today's recep-
tion and that accorded the late Queen
Victoria on her last visit to the metropo-
lis in 1897.
His disappointment must have changed
to satisfaction. however, when he cross
ed London Bridge. South London put no
stint on it's enthusiasm 1t was one
great roar of popular acclaim from
bridge to bridge until decorous West
minister was reached on the homeward
route
The Kings demeanor visibly changed
as he smilingly acknowledged the hom-
age of this myriad of humber admirers
An Anti-Climax.
1t is not easy to explain the failure
of today's function to arouse the inter
est OF the rest of London. 1t was felt
to be an anti-climax after the great
preparations in June, which the Kings
illness rendered futile. II is undoubtcd,
also. that London is ashamed of the
rowdy character which most of the pub
lie demonstrations have assumed within
two or three years.
Those features were happily absent
today, at least while daylight lasted.
1t seems to be the tacit understanding
also that street parades may be suitable
to give to the masses. but
that they are hardly dignified form of
pleasure for the higher classes in twen-
tieth century times.

LONDON. Oct. 25.-New York has oeen
rediscovered by another English writer
this week. He describes it as city Of
noisy progress
young Brussels physician of the
name of Leureaux, claims to have dis
covered the serum of whooping cough,
which is injected under the skin il the
abdominal region. From the experf-
ments which he has conducted hitherto
the injection appears to be quite HARM
less The first effects are apparent about
forty eight hours after the inoculation.
The serum produces an early cessa-
tion of the cough, and considerable
diminution of the normal period of ill
ness. If the injection is made immedi-
ately on the manifestation of the usual
symptoms, the malady can be cured in
eight or ten days. The usual course is
from six to eight weeks.
The question of mitigating the evils of
dusty highways, especially since motor
ing has become more general, is at
tracing considerable attention. The

FARE THROUGH RUSSIA
V|A SIBERIAN RAILWAY
About So3 From Frontier to

LONDON, Oct. 25.-The tariff commits
sion and the Russian minister of finance
have decided on the rate for a journey
through Russia on the Siberian Rail-
road from any frontier station on the
west to a station in Manchuria on the
Russo Manchurian frontier.
The first-class fare, inclusive of an
extra charge on express trains, and not
including charge for bedding. sleeping,
etc, will be 15i rubles. or about s63.
The second-class fare will be about 81
less.
The Siberian express will start from
Moscow. which may be reached by way of
St. Petersburg on the Warsaw branch,
Beyond the frontier station the journey
through Manchuria will be in charge of
the Chinese Eastern Railway, which, ac-
cording to Russian official statements.
has been recognized as foreign line.
Immediately after this recognition it
was announced at Rharbin that the
opening of the line through Manchuria
to traffic had been postponed for a year.

RIGHT OF REMOVAL
is DISCRETIONARY
Civil Service Commission Issues State
ment Regarding Changes in
the Rules.

The Civil Service Commission has is
the civil service rules in the past fiscal
year, and referring to the matter of
removals from office upon charges. The
statement says. in part:
THE right of removal remains as it
has always been, discretionary on the
part Of the appointing officer. the only
limitations being that 1t must be to
promote the efficiency of the service.
that it must not be for political or re
ligious considerations and that nothing
shall be done in the dark; that the rea-
sons shall be stated and notice agiven to
the person removed, who shall have his
opportunity to make answer and to
place on file his side of the case. In
order that he may do this the reasons
must be stated with sufficient definite
exact cause for which his removal is
sought, and to make an appropriate an
Swer.
"a mere general statement of ineffi-
cheney. misconduct. negligence, inatten-
tion to duty, etc, would not be suffi-
cient. 1t is believed that the construc-
tion promulgated on May 49, 1902, has
been in the interest of good administra-
ton, and no case of the removal of any
person from the public service for i'm
proper reasons has since been brought
to the attention of the commission. The
commission, en- the contrary. believes
that even under the present construc-
tion far greater number of employees
who ought to be removed will be re-
tained in the service than the number of
removals Of those who ought to be re-
tanned Appointing officers are usually
very reluctant to make removals which
involve hardship on the persons re-
moved"
