that historic structure.
DR.. Davidsons relations with Arch
bishop TAFT led him in the next place
to have much TO do with the assem-
bling of the Lambeth conferences and
made him an ardent advocate of move
ments designed to promote Christian
unity. Then. again. his work as pri-
vate secretary of the archbishop also
brought him into close relations with
Queen Victoria and led to his appoint
ment as dean OF Windsor and domestic
chaplain to the queen. This was in
1888. Before that year rich canOnrieS
had been offered him, but he had pre-
ferred to continue as private secretary
to Archbishop TAFT and, after his
death, to Archbishop Benson because
OF the opportunities for usefulness the
position gave him. From 1891 to 1895
he held the bishOpric Of Rochester. re
puted to be the most laboriOuS diocese
in England. and in 1895 he was APP
pointed bishop of Winchester, in which
post he was serving when appointed
archbishop of Canterbury in 1903. 1t
is said he was offered the post of pri-
mate ut the death Of Archbishop Ben
son, but declined the honor, and DR..
Temple, then bishop of London. was
nominated for the see of Canterbury.
At the. death of DR.. Temple he was
again offered the post. and his accept
ance of il was very popular both with
in the Established church and without
1t. He was a great admirer of the
noted dissenting divine. c. II. Spur
geon, and pronounced the benediction
at his grave. He was a warm friend
of the late Cardinal Vaughan and

ed Presbyterian services, but preached
in Presbyterian pulpits. The arch
bishops sympathies are broad and his
ideals high. Although tradition i'm
poses upon the occupant of the see of
Canterbury the observance of much
ceremonial and the income of the post
is $4,000 a year. DR.. Davidson prefers
simple life and democratic ways.
When less burdened with dignities, he
was wont to drop into n cheap res
taurant and chat with the clerks over
their lunch or climb on top of ii bus
and talk with the driver. He is Il man
Of much tact and courtly demeanor,

bishop of Canterbury has no official re-
lation to the Episcopalians of this cOun-

interests in common. and it is DR.. Da-

JAPANESE HONOR HIM
SIR ROBERT HART DECORATED
BY THE EMPEROR.
Diplomat 10 Now a Member or the
Japanese Order OF the Rising Sun
Trademarks Registration Act
May be Reconstructed.

Pekin advices state that In the recog-
milton of the services rendered by
Sir Robert Hart, inspector gen
cral OF Chinese imperial customs, and
by his staff in connection with the COM
mercial treaty between China and Japan.
which was signed Oct. 8 last, Sir Robert
Hart Thursday received from the emper-
or of Japan the order Of the Rising Sun
of the first class.
The trade marks registration act which
will come into operation ON Oct. %, is
regarded as unsatisfactory by the COM
mercial communities of Shanghai and
Tientsin. There is no objection to the
principle of the act, for objection in this
connection has never really arisen, but it
is considered that the act in it's present
shape is not practicable. In the first
place the scale Of fees is looked upon as
being elaborate, and the fees themselves
too heavy. In the second place it Is con-
sidered that 1t will be impossible for the
Chinese government to carry out the
scheme, owing to the absence of an ade-
quate and properly trained bureau.
IL the act goes into operation IN the
23d inst, as contemplated, it is expected
that it will give rise to much confusion
and dissatisfaction. The governments of
Great Britain and the United States APP
proved the draft OF the measure, which
will be largely Of japanese construction
without, it Is alleged, adequately consult
Ing the mercantile communities which
would be affected by it.
With the view OF preventing the en-
forcement of an immature and defective
scheme the German minister, though cor
daily welcoming the general principles
OF the act endeavored to obtain q post
ponement of its operation, so that oppor-
tunity might be given for its reconstruc-
ton. Up to this date the %saction for
such postponement has note been OBJ
tanned, but the correspondent of the
Associated Press learned Thursday that
the British minister has been instructed
TO endeayor to have the operation of the
act deferred.
There is a possibility, therefore, that
the act win be reconstructed. 1t is con-
sidered on all sides that it would be
much better to recast the act on lines
which would be acceptable generally
than to precipitately enforce an u~nsatis-
factory measure, especially as there is no
pressing urgency for such enforcement.
