distance of twenty-seyen miles.
The number of vessels passing through
the canals at st. Mary's river has greatly
increased during the past few years, while
the number passing through the Welland
canal has materially decreased; the num-
Der passing through the st. Mary's canals
being in 1873, 2,517, and in 1901, 20,041, of
which 1887 passed through the United
States canal and 4,2O4 through the Cana
dian. The number Of vessels passing
through the Welland canal has decreased
from 6,425 in 1878, to 1902 in 1899. The
marked contrast between the business of
the St. Mary's Falls and Welland canals
is largely due to the fact that the freights
originating in the Lake Superior district
are chiefly discharged at Lake Erie ports,
and those destined for the Lake Superior
region are chiefly produced in the section
contiguous to Lake Erie, the Lake Su-
perior freights being chiefly iron, copper
and grain, and the Lake Erie freights for
Lake Superior, coal and manufactures.
The business Of the St. Mary's Falls
canals by far surpasses in volume that of
any other canal Of the world, the freight
tonnage Of the American and Canadian
canals combined being in 1901, "a, 626, 976
registered tons, while the net tonnage Of
the Suez canal in 1905 was 9,37S, 152 tons,
and that Of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal,
1922, 094 tons.

Correspondence Of The Journal
London, Dec. 2S.-There have been ru-
mors for some time that Lord Roberts
had had all he wanted OF the office of
commander-in-ch chief Of the British army,
but no definite statement has been made
on the subject. From one of the half
dozen men VINO should be able to speak
authorltatively on the subject, it is
learned that the rumor is not only cor
rect but that the date set by Lord Rob-
erts is April, and that the kings only
remaining brother, the. Duke Of Con-
naught, will be the successor of the hero
of Kandahar in time to cut a big figure
at the coronation. The late Queen Vic
otria could see no reason why the army
should not remain in the family, and was
most anxious that the Duke of Connaught
should succeed the aged Duke of Cam
bridge when public sentiment demanded
the retirement of the latter. When her
plans were defeated ard the appointment
of Lord Wolseley became necessary, she
contented herself with the thought that
at least her son could succeed Lord
Wolseley. But. Lord Roberts capture of
Cronje, and the resulting wave of popular
enthusiasm, and the equally strong con-
viction that the war Office must be re-
formed again defeated the Queens wishes

GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS
Academy and School of Commerce
Enjoying Great Prosperity.

Special to The Journal. ..
St. Peter, Mimi, Jan. 13.-That Gus
tavus Adolphus college is gaining in pop
ularity every year, as evident from the
large number of young people who have
assembled here the past few days. The
enrolment in the various departments has
been very gratifying, and even surprising.
Many of the new students have enrolled
in the academy, and to meet the demand
new classes have been organized and
special teachers provided
No branch of the institution is enjoy
ing greater prosperity than the school
of commerce. 1t had on the opening day a
larger enrolment than during the whole
of the last school year. The total num-
Der then was 105, while last week the at
tendance had reached 10. Applications
from twenty-five or thirty more have
been received. An additional instructor
has been secured in P. G. Langemo, who
will divide his time between the school
of commerce and the academy and COL
lege. He is a graduate of the University
of Wisconsin, and passed two years in
graduate work at the University Of Min
nesota.
The Philomothean and the Circle, the
two literary societies of the college, are
making arrangements for their annual re-
ceptions, in honor of new students. These
will be held in the college in the state
contest.

and Lord Roberts was made comma nder-
in chief.
But the abrupt removal Of General Bull
len by Lord Roberts caused revolution
in feeling, and for the first time in his
life the beloved "Bobs" heard Kisses
mingled with the cheers sent up in his
honor whenever he appeared in public.
That was a bitter experience to a man
so fond of popularity and is said to one
of the causes of his intention to- resign.
Another is his discovery that he is quite
| unable to cut the red tape that is bound
so tightly around the war office by it's
civilian force.
! And so at last the Duke Of Connaught
| is to have his long-lcoked-for chance. He
is clever, kindly and popular man, who
has the reputation of being a really good
! soldier, quite aside from his royal pres
| tige. Then, besides, 1T would be quite
beneath his dignity to go pottering about
| with reforms in the war office. Things
could 60 on peaceably in the good old
way, and the secretary for war could man
age matters in any way he chose without
| interference from the military end of the
| Office. The dukes personal popularity is
thought to be great enough to overcome
any popular feeling that a more brilliant,
| energetic and fCrceful man should be
| placed at the head Of the army.

Bound to Use a "K."

There was once in eastern Tennessee
judge well versed in the law, but en-
tlrely self educated, who had this same
obstacle Of photography to contend
with all his days. In early life he had
lived in Knoxville and for a long time
insisted upon spelling the name Nox-
vile. His friends at last educated him
up to the point of adding the X. So
thoroughly, in fact, did he learn this
lesson that when a few years after
ward he removed to Nashville nothing
could prevent him from spelling the
name "Knashville."
After a few years residence there
the judge moved again, this time to
Murfreesboro. One day he sat down to
write his first letter from this place.
He scratched his head in perpleXity a
moment and finally exclaimed: well,
III give it up! How in the world can
they spell the name of this place with

Fires Alarm milwaukee,.

Milwaukee, June 16.-Another fire
of seemingly incendiary origin has
stirred the police department to re-
newed effort to find the miscreants.
Fire in the Grand Avenue Methodist
church did several thousand dollars
damage before it was eXtinguished. A
month ago Emmanuel Presbyterian
church was fired and a dozen fires
have been started in the business dis
trict, all of them, fortunately, being
eXtinguished without great loss. The
police suspect that the work may be
done by some boys who desire to see
the engines at work and simply for a
love Of mischief
