The proposal to adopt the English
alphabet, which commission of gen
tlemen of Japan is now considering,
is by no means new in that country.
A few years ago it was even proposed
to adopt the English language, and
this plan is still popular. A people
so anxious to progress in the world
as to be perfectly willing to break
away from old associations and to
abandon old ideals, customs and their
very language are pretty sure to win
admiration. They are a people who
must be reckoned with in the future.

Studious young gentlemen who are

consider the eNcitement-producin de-

who tied bunch of firecrackers to a
dogs tail and turned him into church

viously an improvement over the time

college chapel or filing the pew cush-
ions with red pepper. There should be
progress in these matters as well as
along others lines.

May BE Celebrated Quietly.
With the favorable progress of the
king there is much discussion as to
how the coronation will eventually be
effected. While nothing has in any
way been definitely settled, it APP
pears that King Edward is likely to
celebrate this event very quietly and
with merely the ceremony that at
tends the opening of parliament.
This consists of drive direct to
Westminster abbey, accompanied by
small escort, and speedy return to
buckingham palace, and it is rumored
that no foreign princes or ENJOYS
will be especially invited for the oc-
casion. All this, of course, is quite
in the air, but it forms one of the
chief topics of London's daily CONVEX
sation.
hint from Queen Alexandra leads
to the belief in London that the coro-
nation will take place the latter part
of September.
BY the kings personal desire the
royal pardons of offenders in the
army will go into effect just as if the
coronation had occurred.
Prayers for the King.
Thursday at the hour when the
king should have been crowned a
great and distinguished gathering,
almost identical with that which
would have sat in Westminster alb
hey, gathered in ST. PauIs cathedral,
where solemn services were held and
prayers for the recovery of the king
were offered up. Rt. Rev. Arthur F..
w. Ingram, bishop of London, from
the altar steps, read the prayers:
80 Lord, save the king" His voice
rang out to the furthermost recess
of the dome and brought whole
souled response from the choir and
congregation.
Simultaneously a similar service
was conducted at ST. Margaret's
church, Westminster. 1t was largely
attended by cabinet ministers, peers
and members of the house of com
mons and was concluded with singing
God Save the King"
From India, Australia and Africa,
everywhere where Britons cOngre-
gated, kilograms announce the hold
ing of impressive supplicatory serv-
ices.
Intercession services for the king
were also held Sunday in churches
throughout England. God Save the
King" was sung in Anglican churches.
The queen appeared in public at MARI
borough house.
Anxious Inquiries.
The pope and the king of Italy and
other monarchs cabled anxious in
quiries concerning King Edwards
progress, and dispatches received
from all parts of the world reflected
the intensity of feeling occasioned
by the unexpected news of his maj
esty's illness and sympathy with the
British nation.
The Heir Apparent.
The heir to the throne is Prince
George of Wales, second son of King
Edward. The duke of Clarence, the
kings eldest son, died in 1892. Prince
George is 81 years old and is married
to Princess Mary of Teck.

that: "John Wanamaker pays over
81, 900 day for just advertising his
Philadelphia store. He uses page

which would have made an annual
expenditure of 1882, 800 When he
wanted to renew his advertising con-

asked $25, 900 more or total of

RAILROAD NOTES.

The terminus of the extension of
the Omaha from Brichwood, Wis, to
the Chippewa river, which promises to
become a thriving town on account of
it's water power, has been chrfstened
by the Omaha company with the name
of the great French explorer Raddison.
The Rock Island management has
authorized contracts for the construc-
ton of an extension to that system
from Dallas to Galveston, Tex, dis
tance of 270 miles. The work is to be
completed in nine months. The line
to be built will give to the Rock Island
the Gulf connection it has had in con-
temptation for some time.
The interstate commerce commits
sion, in the case of the Diamond mills
against the Boston & Maine railroad
has decided that shippers of grain
should be required to pay extra for
the privilege of milling grain in transit.
Shippers had been in the habit of hav-
ing grained milled at Buffalo and OBJ
jected to the imposition of a charge of
6 cents per 100 pounds in addition to
the through grain rate on the milled
product forwarded from Buffalo The
interstate commerce commission, how
ever, holds that the railroads are en-
titled to make the extra charge.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. ga movement is
well under way which will result in
raising between 20 and 80 per cent OF
the commodity rates in territory east
of Chicago. A committee composed
of traffic men of the lines in the Cen
trail Freight association are at work on
the rates, with a view to raising nearly
all of them from to 2 IL cents per
100 pounds between Chicago and the
Seaboard. The initial moves In the
plan were made when the rate on grai1.
and grain products was raised IL
cents and on dressed meats 5 cents.
The Importance of the action is very
great, as fully Is per cent of the east
bound traffic moves on commodity in
stead of on class rates. If all the
changes which are contemplated go
into effect the revenues of the East
ern roads will be increased by many
millions of dollars annually. To eX-
press the increase in figures would be
mere guesswork, but the increase will
be more than enough to take care of
increased wages.
Affect Cost of Material.
1t will also largely affect the in
creased cost of all materials which en-
ter into railroad construction. One
of the Eastern traffic officials stated to-
day that no trouble was being eXper-
fenced in raising the rates effective on
Jan. 1, but that trouble would come
when an attempt was made to main
tain the tariffs. If the experience of
past years is guide, it will not be
long after the first day of the year be-
fore the rate on some commodity drops
a little, and then the retrogade move
ment will begin and increase until the
old basis of rates is reached. Western
lines are also contemplating raising
many commodity rates, but the action
may not be as radical as that conten-
plated by Eastern lines. There is lack
of unanimity of opinion in Western
territory which will operate against a
horizontal raise in rates.
