Daily Travel Nores of Trip Around
the World

E. w. Howe's Daily Notes of a Trip
Around the World" in two neat hand
some volumes, $50 pages in all, came
from Crane & Co.'S press today.
The book is a reprint of the facinating
letters which appeared from day to day
in the State Journal simultaneously
with their publication in Mr.. Howe's
own paper. The preface says tersely:
These notes of a trip around the world
were written every day as the journey
progressed, and sent back to the Atchi-
son Globe. of which paper am editor,
as my part of the daily work. If the
record is of any interest, it is because 1t
shows what a plain traveller actually
sees, hears and experiences during a
hurried trip of about thirty-one thou
sand miles. The volumes are illus
trated by half tones from photographs
taken by Mr.. Howe and his daughter
Mattel. On the face of the cover is
the picture Of the Kansan drawing the
jinrickshaw with the native motive
power in the vehicle itself This view
created much interest when thrown on
cred his lecture to the big delighted
audience in Topeka. Time and again
have the State Journal readers written
and said that the Howe travel letters
We're the most interesting they ever
read; that nothing like them ever APP
peared elsewhere; that they day by day
turned eagerly to Mr.. Howe'S daily ac-
counts of his journey and regarded
their publication in these columns as a
most attractive feature. The book is
sold by Crane & Co., Topeka, for two
dollars in a neat box, twenty-five cents
additional for postage.

President of the London Board OF
Trade Takes Up the Matter.

London. Nov. 2-The prospects that
the president of the board of trade.
Lloyd George, may be able to avert the
general strike by arranging compro-
mise were brigter today. A full meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Amalgamated society of Railway Ser
wants was held this morning, and 1t
was decided to postpone all action on
yesterdays resolution in favor of
strike until after the conference which
is to take place with Mr.. Lloyd-George
November g. to which he has invited
the society to send representa- tives.
Richard Bell, NJ. p, general secretary
of the society, and leader of the strike
movement, probably will head the dele
agtion.
The partisans of the railroads refer
to yesterdays resolution as being
bluff intended to frighten the railroad
magnates and the supporters of the
unions say the society has cleared for
action and that while it has not act
ually declared war it has given it's ex-
ecutive a mandate for war.
Public feeling against the strike is so
strong that the men are bound to go
slow so long as the companies show any
disposition to arrive at compromise
arrangement.

meeting at Albert hall here on Sunday
