THEY HAVE TOO
 MANY HOLIDAYS

Rome, Jan. 6-Pope Plus is fac ing another threatened strike within the Vatican. This time 1t Is the gardeners and the museum keep CTS. Their demands involve the rather unusual alternative of eLth- CT a raise pay or the abolition of holidays. All of these employees get 70 cents a day except on holi- days, when they draw nothing. AS there are some 79 religious holidays in the year to say nothing of Sun days the employees insist they have real grounds for grievance. The fact that the museums and gardens are closed on these days adds also to their financial difficulties. AL though not officials allowed to ac- cept tips, they all accept them just the same, but when the public is not admitted some 130 days out of the year their possibilities for mak- ing a little on the side are consid- erabiy reduced.
 Recently one of the gardernera went mad and committed suicide by jumping off the Vatican Wall. The gardners and museum keepers in- sisted that he went mad trying to figure out how to make both ends meet on the 70 cents-no holiday-pay proposition and petitioned the Pope accordingly. They told him they hoped he would take warning from the first fatal result and hoped he'd Sec to it that an epidemic of sui- cidss at the Vatican might not be rendered inevitable. They also ask ed him if he figured they did not have to eat on holidays the same as other days. Up to the present time, there has been no raise in wages at the Vatican but Pope Plus is known to be giving the mai ter serious attention and consider ation.

terms with Home Power Go.
 Mayor Ganty remarked that there appeared to be decided unanimity of opinion upon the subject by the members of the council, and turn ing to Mr. Nye, manager of the Home Power Co. said he would like to hear his side of the question.
 Mir. Yves statement, as read by the clerk, was in part, as follows:
 As to the statement that this council has been held up cy the Home Power Go. and that the council is not getting a square dea4' why the Home Power Company IS ready to do what is reasonable. The increase in the contract price seems big raise, but is not, considering what the city is getting. Of course We could have notified the council a month or two, or even three months before we did. There was never anything said in regard to the price of water until Mr. Tanner asked me for 9 contract, and after that we lad a meeting of the directors. There has been a lot of misunder- standing about this. We have sub mitted a proposition. Now I think it is up to the council to submit 3 proposition of it's own showing what they are willing to do and to pay.
 Councilman Bender said the only way to settle the matter was for the council to present aa ultimatum to -he Home Pawer Co which it could accept or reject as it saw fit.
 Mayor Ganty said thathe agreed with lIr. Bender and that it was in order to put before the council a resolution to that effect.
 The following resolution was then offered by councilman Tanner: "Tha the water works committee be in s-ructed to make with the Home Power Co. the same contract we lad before with them. for a term of four or five years" which was on motion duly carried.
 Report of the town treasurer read approved and ordered placed on file.
 The following bills were read, al lowed and ordered paid:

ENVOY
 Al SHANGHAI

Shanghai, Jan. 6-The arrival re- gently Of Yang TcLeng, the first special envoy for foreign affairs, is evidence of the desire of the repub- ucau government at Pekin to in crease it's representation in this the very center of the Chinese coast.
 Until Yang's arrival the agent of the Chinese government here has been called commissioner of trade and foreign affairs, with rather doubtful power, other than advisory and conciliatory, when 1t came to ne gotiauons with the foreign consuls general.
 It has been recognized for a long time tu2s the position of Chinese represontat:vg at this port ifs al most as important as that of min ister Dleripotent'ary to foreign coun tries. The action of Pekin in rais- ing the rank to that of special en- voy for foreign affairs appears to give the republic diplomatic and of ftcial precedence over all the for eigr representatives. This does not. of course, in any way effect the extra territorial rights of foreigners.

BUZARDS BAY, Mass, July 20
The Boston, Cape Cod and New York
canal, connecting Buzzards Bay with
Massachusetts Bay and enabling
coastwise vessels to avoid the dan
gerous passage around wreck-strewn
Cape Cod, was formally opened to-
day by August Belmont, of New
York, president of the constructing
and operating company. The canal
shortens by seventy miles the ship
ping distance between the ports to
the north and the south of it. The
canal will be open to traffic tomorrow
and will be completed in all its de-
tails about the first of October.
The Cape Cod canal is thirteen
miles long, including a cut through
sand and boulders from Buzzards Bay
to Sandwich, Mass 1t has bottom
100 feet in width, shelving out to
800 and 400 feet the passing points
and has draught of rs feet at low
tide. Greater in its dimensions than
the Suez canal, as originally con
structed, it can accommodate the
largest coastwise vessels af1oat, with
one or two exceptions.
At the eastern end is a massive
breakwater 1900 feet long which
contains more than 100000 tons o
granite This is designed to protec
vessels using the canal from tbs
storms that sweep across Cape Coz
Bay.
The $12,O00.000 which has beef
expended In the constructing of thu
canal has been spent largely In ex
cavating some 100000 cubic feet o
sand and boulders. In order to keel
\ the wash from passing vessels from
wearing away the banks they hav
been rip-rapped, or paved with gran
tie blocks and small boulders. Thi
rip-rapping, a large portion of whiel
was done by hand, runs from six fee
below to four feet above the hig
water mark, At the eastern en-
much money has been spent in tn
building OF "sand-catcher," devic
