NEWS OF LONDON TOWN.
~***** :

London, September 16-Sir Henry
Dalziel, Leaders of the Ultra-radicals
in the House of Commons, the father
of the bill which aims at giving Scot
land local self-government, has just
had prepared a bill to alter the calen-
dar. This bill, known as the Fixed
Calendar Bill, contains some novel fea-
lures. As the memorandum which ac-
companies it explains, the bill pur-
poses to substitute for the present ir-
regular calendar fixed calendar hav-
ing regular periods, of which the week
Is the common measure.
In this, as in other features, it diff
fers from the Calendar Reform Bill,
introduced in the House OF Commons
in 1908, but which never got beyond
the second reading stage. That bill
sought to make the months as uni
form in length as possible, but as a
difference in this respect is unavold-
able in year with twelve months. it
is thought better to increase that diff
ference so as to allow of the week be-
ing common measure of all months
/ This arrangement makes it possible
for each month to begin on a Sunday
and end on Saturday.
A table giving the proposed fixed
calendar shows that the months of
January, February, April, May, July,
August, October and November would
each consist of % days whilst the re-
naming months o. March, June, Sep
TENDER and December would each
have 80 days, New Year Day" is set
apart, thus bringing the total of days
up to the requisite number of 365,
whilst for Leap Year a special day is
set apart as Leap Day" which is to
of June and the first day of July, as
reconstructed by the bill.
A clause in the bill lays down that
the New Year Day and Leap Day shall
neither be accounted days of the week,
and shall not, except where specially
mentioned or provided for, be held to
be included in any computation of
days, but shall otherwise be public
bank holidays. The conditions of la
Dor on those two days and the re-
Enumeration therefor, under the bill,
would conform as far as possible to
what prevails on Sundays. A fixed
date, April Is, is selected for Easter
Day.
Finally the bill, if passed by Parlia-
ment, will not become operative until
( the government decides that sufficient
international concurrence has been Sc
cured.

Y. & M. v. RAILROAD
MAKING IMPROVEMENTS

The Yazoo & Mississippi Valley road
has commenced work on extensive i'm
provements of its line from Jackson to
Clarksdale.
During the autumn and winter the
company will spend an average of
about $4,000 per mile getting this road
bed in first-class shape. New ballast
will be spread from Jackson to Clarks-
dale, and the company will gradually
replace present rails with the new 90
pound steel variety.
This improvement is carrying out
the plan of the Illinois Central sys-
TEN to divert more of the freight traf-
fic from Memphis southwark over the
Y. & M. V. road, and when the work
is completed a large number of north
bound frieghts on the main liue will
be sent northward from Jackson over
that line.

1t is announced that the Bayreuth
summer opera season will be repeated
next year, the Wagner family having
departed in this instance from its
usual practice of having the operas
given only on alternate years. The
reason for this change appears to be
connected with the expiration of the
Parsifal Copyrights at the end of 1913
after which. that famous opera will
naturally be placed upon the roper

A.LETTER FROM ABROAD.
*%"******* *****

London, Sept. 16.-Turkey has at last
definitely awarded the contract for a
battleship of the so-called Dread
nought" type to W. G. Armstrong
Whitworth & Company of Newcastle
on-Tyne and to Vickers Limited, the
latter to furnish the armament. The
Government reserves the right of or
dering another vessel at the same
price.
The new battleship, it is said will
be the largest warship in the world.
The price to be paid is considerably
higher than that at which the Bethle-
hem Steel Company of America in con-
junction with another English firm
offered to build the ships. However.
as the Grand Vizier candidly told a
diplomat who was supporting the ten
der of the American company, Turkey
by placing the contract with the sue
cesful tenderers will obtain compen-
sation in other directions which will
more than make up for the increased
cost of the ship
1t has not yet been disclosed of what
these compensations will consist, but
it is generally understood that the
British minister at Constantinople
was able to inform the Porte that the
acceptance of the Armstrong tender
might induce the British Government
to look with a kindlier eye on the
Turkish proposals for the settlement
of certain questions outstanding be
tween the two countries. Among these
were questions arising out of the
steamboat monopoly held by British
company to operate steamers Oh Turk
ish rivers; non-interference with
Turkeys plans in Albania; and the
long-standing dispute over the building
of the Bagdad railway. On the latter
subject active negotiations are now
proceeding in the Turkish capital, with
good prospects of success and the
ultimate completion of the line.
Besides the support Of the Govern
ment the British shipbuilders have
good press agents, and frequent para
praghs appear in the London papers
in which it is intimated that among
other contracts that for the building
of the Gillian warships is to be given
to England. AS matter of fact these
contracts have not been let and it may
be months before they are. American,
British and continental firms all have
agents in the Gillian capital and even
very little progress had been made to-
wards the signing of the contracts.
