LONDON's BUSINESS DAY.
Begins About Ten O'C1ock-Con-
trast to Other Cities.

Undoubtedly London starts its
days work later than most cities,
says the London Chronicle, and Mr..
G.. p. Sims, in the Referee has been
calling on Lyndon to "get up" Hav-
ing 'fgot up" himself, to learn the
slang Of the early morning sweep, he
strolled through London, and found
that at o'clock most of the popular
refreshment places in the Strand
were barred and bolted against the
seeker for breakfast.
At half past nine young gentle
men in their shirt sleeves were
sweeping the front of their masters
shops out and smothering the passers
by with dust" For London is not
really at business, shaved, bathed
and dressed. until ten, and you are
lucky if you catch your magnate be-
fore eleven.
In other capitals the case is very
different, and this writer remembers
his surprise at being asked to call on
business men in Chicago at eight in
the morning.
Paris gives one the impression that
it never goes to bed at all. The trav-
eller who arrives before seven in the
morning will find the cafes swept and
garnished and ready to give him
breakfast. And having breakfasted
under the trees with the morning
swirl Of Paris around him, this
writer bought some books in Mont
marie at half past seven. Is there
bookshop in London that opens it's
doors before nine?

One of the secret processes which
has for ages openly defied the world
Of science is the iron trade Of Rus
STA. The secret of making Russian
sheet iron Is owned by the Govern
ment, and when workman enters
the service, he bids last farewell to
his family and friends and whether
he lives or dies all trace Of him is
forever lost. There have been several
desperate attempts made to steal or
betray the secret, but in every In
instance it has resulted in the death
of the would-be traitor. In one case
a letter attached to kite, which was
allowed to escape, was picked up by
some peasants, and despite their pro-
testations that they were unable to
read, they were at once put to death
by the guards to whom they deliv-
cred the letter. 1t was afterward de-
creed that the guards themselves
should pass their lives within the
works, and to this day the secret re-
mains as hidden as the philosopher rs

American Architectural Beauty.

With the rebuilding should come
reform of the paving Of the Pacific
city, for never was a great modern
town so vexed with cobbles, says the
London Chronicle. There were no
slums, in the sense of the word too
familiar to us, but the smart streets
had a dreadful surface of discontinue
GUS stones, set up to harass the way
farer's foot. The Chinese, In their
thick-so1ed slippers, had the best OF
it. Is it, by the way, as matter or
courtesy to the memory Of the re-
Gently deceased, that San Francisco
has been a thousand times called
beautiful? It was by no means beau
tiful. Nor is there any city OF that
date and character in the United
States that can claim architectural
beauty. The best looking towns In
America are colonial; parts of Bos-
ton and parts Of Philadelphia wear
their red, green, and white with a
cheerful dignity.

Freight Car Facts.

1t is estimated that out Of a total
of 100000 goods wagons ordered by
the railways of the United States in
1905, 10000 were specified to be
fitted with steel underframes, and
10000 were to be built Of wood.
The figures show that for wagons OF
$4,000 pounds capacity or more, un-
der the sever conditions Of modern
service, steel has. decided advantages
in efficiency and economy. OF all
wagons built in 1905 it is estimated
that nearly $4,000, or about As per

ENGLAND REPLIES
 ID AMERICAN NOTE
 ON MAIL SEIZURES
Declares That Specific Com plaints Do Not Support General Charge Against
 Efficiency of Censor

London, July 24.-The foreign office, in publishing today the text of the note
 7, ed to the American ambassador re- < c ng to certain American complaints 2 inst censorship of mail, declared the
 ecifc complaints do not support the eneraI charge against the efficiency of he British censorship. It was stated, however, that the reply was confined to allegations made in the recent American note and that the formal answer to the general arguments advanced by the Washington government still was under consideration By the entente allied gov ernmcnts and would receive reply in due course
 The two principal cases referred to in the present memorandum are those of the MacNin Horticultural company of New York and the Standard Underground Ca- ble company of Pittsburg. The MacNif company complained of the loss Of perish able goods owing to the detention by the censor of shipping documents relat ting thereto.
 FOR SPECIAL MAIL BAG
 The British government states that so soon as the matter was brought to it's at tention it arranged to have special mail bag for shipping papers, which would be immediately censored so that no delay would occur.
 In the case of the cable company it is stated that "the government of the United States appeared to insinuate" that the delay in the mail of the cable company was directly connected with the fact that a British competitor had obtained con- tract for which that company had been tendering'
 His majesty's government the note continues lis astonished that such an in situation should be made, especially as the complaint from the cable company ap- pears not to have been adequately ex- amined"
 The memorandum goes on to show in considerable detail that tenders for the contract referred to must have passed between the United States and Norway on date prior to that upon which the censorship of Scandinavian mails began After detailing other cases the note con tinues:
 SPECIFIC COMPLAINT
 The specific complaints do not support the general charge against the efficiency of the British censorship His majesty's governmnt will always be ready to explain in detail the working of the censorship, as there is nothing regarding it which they wish to conceal Many complaints when examined proved to arise from badly directed letters, the irregular sailing of neutral mail boats and other causes entirely outside the control of his majestys government, and are often due to the action of enemies
 Washington. July 23.-Great Britain S memorandum regarding mail seizures was received at the state department today and will be delivered to Acting Secretary Polk tomorrow. It has been indicated that nothing short of readjustment of the censorship of neutral mails on the principles for which the United States has contended would be accepted as sat G

GENERAL TREY|NO <. IS SSUPERSEDEDBY
 GEN. LUIS HERRERA
Surprise Expressed by Army Officers at the Transfer. Trevino Ordered the
 Carrizal Affair

Washington. July a3.-General Trevino, commander of the iCarranza forces in northeastern Mexico. has been ordered to Mexico City and will be succeeded. at least Temporarily, by Gen Luis Herrera, commander of the Chihuahua City garri- son. Dispatches to the war department today from General Bell, reporting the transfer, contained no explanation as to the cause Army officers here were plain ly surprised
 General Trevino has personally directed the campaign against bandits in Chi huahua, and it is said to be largely be- cause of his efforts that the Carranza soldiers have continued their operations against Villa and other outlaw leaders on such broad scale. For that reason some regret over the transfer was ex- pressed here. though officials said they were confident that General Herrera would use every resource at his command to continue the campaign.
 General Bells dispatch pointed out that General Herrera was anxious to have the mines and other industrial activities In

VOTE ON CHILD LABOR BILL IS PREDICTED
 FOR THIS SESSION
Democrats Will Decide the Fate of the Bill at Their Caucus This Week-Republican Are Likely to Ask for Unanimous Consent for Ina- mediate Vote-National Defense Programme IsCOmpleted

Washington, July 23.-Democrats of the Senate probably will decide within a few days what will be their answer to Pres ident Wilson's request for action on the child labor bill before adjournment of Congress. Leaders would not confirm re- ports current that they had agreed to take up the measure as soon as the gov ernment shipping bill is disposed of. They said the decision would rest with the democratic caucus, expected to be called sometime this week.
 That vote on the child labor issue cannot be escaped has been virtually assured by the attitude Of the republi- cans. who threaten to demand unanimous consent for considera tion of the bill un- less the majority gives notice of it's in clusion in the legislative programme. To include it means that the democratic caucus agreement for adjournment by August 19 must be altered. Leaders are irsistent however, on adjournment not later than September l.

 Completion of the national defense pro- gramme now is occupying the Senate s whole attention. Conferees on the naval bill, passed Friday will got to work during the week in an effort to recon cile the widely different building pro- -grammes authorized by the two houses. Even the most ardent champions of a big navy admit that the Senate conferees will be forced to yield some of the in creases put in by the Senate, but expect the House conferees will be prevailed upon to accept a general three-year build ing programme, together with a generous portion of otker Senate recommendations.
 Senator Chamberlain. chairman of the military committee, expects. the army ap- propriation bill, now under debate, to be passed within a few days and strong efforts will be made to get final action on both navy and army conference re- ports during the. first week in August. Before the end of the present week the Senate's plans to begin debate on the shipping bill. Then will follow the rev enue bill and if it is decided to take up the child labor measure that proba bly will come next.

Baltimore, July 2s.--The only thing that could be affirmed of the submarine Deutschland tonight was that she was alongside pier in the Patapsco river where she was berthed IA days ago when she completed her voyage from Germany It was officially stated to- night that clearance papers had not been filed and this strengthened the belief that negotiations for insuring a consignment of gold alone were re- sponsible for delay in the submersible's departure.
 In this connection it was reported today from what is considered a trust worthy source that gold was carried aboard the vessel last Thursday by stevedores. It was recalled that extra precautions in guarding the submarine were taken that day. Newspaper men were forbidden to climb pile driver from which they had been making ob- servations.

claiming the defection of thousands of brotherhood members, officials of the
 unions, through Timothy Shea, vice president of the Brotherhood of Fire men and Enginemen. said the railways habitually circulate such stories and they have no fears their men would not
 obey the strike call.
 Polls of employees who are members
 of the unions were practically com pleted and in general the roads said
 that they you'd be able to count on the
 loyalty of about 25 per cent of their trainmen, even if the strike order is not revoked.
 The most startling of the announce ments came from the general offices of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in
 a statement that the four brotherhoods engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen-would hold meetings to-
 night to request the heads of their
 unions at Washington to revoke the
 strike order.
 In addition, suits for injunctions against calling strikes were filed by individual brotherhood members in va rious parts of the country, including a number of Santa Fe trainmen employed in Texas.
