Miss Hanna. one of the most notable and popular figures in Cleveland and Washington society, became the wife of Joseph Medill McCormick, of Chi cago. The presence of Mr. Roosevelt and a large number of distinguished guests together with other incidents which attended their union, rendered the wedding an event of national interest. Cleveland has been the scene of nu merous notable weddings in the past, hut at none of them has the attend ance of famous personages been equal to that at today's function in St. Paul's church. The interior of the church, which is well adapted to artistic floral ar rangements, presented a delightful pic ture. Gorgeousness was not contem plated in the decorations. On the con trary, it was the desire of every one closely connected with tin event to have American si'mplfc Hy reign, and this was done, though it was an ele gant simplicity. Roses were freely used in the oecorations. In the high chancel more than 200 palms, large and small were arranged and a cur tain of green hid the carved oak tere dos. The musical arrangements were on a scale fitting to the ceremony. The members of the president's party had barely seated themselves in the pews reserved for them at the* head 01 the main aisle when the musical exercises were begun with the "Lohengrin" bridal music. Soon after 12 o'clock, in the midst of a glorious burst of mu sic from tiie organ and choir, the bride, radiant and happy, entered the church, leaning on the arm of her dis tinguished father. No happier or fairer bride ever approached the wed ding altar than Miss Hanna. The bridal party proceeded to the chance] in the following order: Following the four little (lower maid ens, came the bridesmaids. Miss El eanor Patterson and Miss Adelaide Hamilton, both of Chicago: Miss Laura McGinley and Miss Virginia .Johnston, of Pittsburg; Miss Mary Hopkins, of Washington. I). C: Miss Frances Lewis, of Portland. Ore., and Miss Lucia M cCurdy, Miss Claire Hanna ami Miss Florence Cobb of Cleveland. Followed by the maid of honor Miss McCurdy, unattended, Ruth on her father's arm. followed by President Roosevelt and Mrs. Hanna. The ushers brought up the rear. Dur ing the ceremony the president and Miss Alice Roosevelt occupied the foremost pew. The bride wore the conventional wedding gown, built of the soft shim mering folds of white peau de sois. A cluster of orange blossoms was fas tened at the left side on the waist line, and the veil was made of a splendid piece of point lace, extend ing almost to the train. The bridal party were met at the chancel steps by the groom ami his best man. his brother. Rutherford McCormick. The bride and groom were met at the chancel steps by Bis hop Leonard and Mr. Billings, of the well known school at Groton, Mass. Mr. Billings read the charge. Bishop Leonard afterward officiating at the marriage ceremony proper to the al tar rail. The ceremony over, President Roosevelt and several distinguished guests, signed the marriage certifi cate. The wedding breakfast occurred at 2 o'clock at Glenmare. the beautiful suburban home of Senator Hanna. Seated with the newly wedded couple were the bridesmaids, Senator and Mrs. Hanna. Ambassador and Mrs. McCormick. President Roosevelt and Miss Alice. Other tables were set upon the lawn and covers were laid for 150.

As she alleged, a new and immature hoy was running the ele vator. At the second floor the elevator stopped, a passenger got out and she followed him. When she was hall way out the elevator started up like a shot, throwing her out and under the cage. She fell to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of fifty-two feet and sustained many injuries. She sued Judge Burke for $10,254. OASTORIA. Bern the ftl Kind You Hava Always Bought GOOD ROADS IN GENERAL Coniiuercial Club Dis cusses County's iVeeds nrunNOT of mm labor Committee of Five Will Confer With State Board of Audit and Control Relative to New Law. Road matters in general and the employment of convict labor as provid ed for in an act passed by the last legislature were questions of import ance members of the Commercial OS**? discussed at a meeting at the city hall last night. In the matter of em ploying convict labor Senator Reser author of the lull was invited to ad dress tin- club and stated that he had at various times during the session of the last legislature talked witli mem bers of the state boar of audit and control relative to the bill passed, which provides that. "Ail convicts confined in the state penitentiary at Walla Walla may be employed under authority of the state board of control, under charge of the superintendent of the penitentiary or such other p. rsons ia the employ of the state as th" state hoard of con trol shall direct, in the crushing or preparation of rock or other materials for roads or streets. Such labor shail be performed at such place or places in this state as the said state hoard of control shall direct. The board of control shall also have power and authority to purchase! out of the revolving fund of the state penitentiary ali necessary materials, tools and implements, and to do all things necessary to carry out the spirit and intent of tiie act. "It. shall also have authority to .-oil and dispose of such crushed rock or other matt-rials for roads and streets in such manner and for such price as it shall he deemed most advantag eous for tiie state All moneys de rived from tiie sale of such crushed rock or other road materials shall be pah! into the revolving fund of the state penitentiary." In employing convict labor in the crushing and preparing of rock for road or other purposes Senator Reser said his plan advocated before the state board would be to purchase a suitable rock quarry elevated suffi ciently that the finished product could be easily loaded into wagons or cars. Establish a stockade and suitable quarters for convicts and install a modern rock crushing plant capable of crushing a large amount of rock daily. In constructing county roads anywhere within a reasonable dis tance, such as ir. to 30 miles from the quarry a monster traction engine cap able of hauling 40 to 50 tons could transport the crushed rock from the quarry to any point desired. He fav ored wagons carrying small capacity in preference to those of larger in that the cost of distributing the rock would be greatly reduced by the use f smaller wagons. In modern rock road construction the senator said that the usual man ner employed was to excavate the road in the center to a width of seven to eight feet and fill in with crushed rock. This could be used as a winter road while fall and spring roads of dirt could be constructed on either side. The traction engine could make one trip a day easily, doing a distance of 30 miles. Three men would be all that would he required to handle it and a train of wagons, in this mannei lie thought that crushed rock could l)e furnished any county very cheaply and anyway cheaper than free laboj would be able to furnish it. City Attorney's Views. City Attorney Blandford was of th* opinion that rock roads as construct ed under present methods are not a success for the simple reason that they ravel. Teams driving on either side of the road in attempting to mount the rock portion would escape or ravel off the edges to such an ex tent that the road would be practically destroyed in time. After six years of clos e study in road making the attorney advanced the opinion that the sprinkling oi roads with crude petroleum such as L employed in California solved the problem. The cost of petroleum laid down in Walla Walla would be $3 a barrel and the first year a total of 300 barrels might be used per mile: the second year 200 barrels and the third year 100 barrels, making a total of 600 barrels on a single mile at cos t of $1800, or $700 less than t he es timated cost of constructing a roel road. Tiie greatest difficulty he said was in estimating the first cost of rock The city pays 75 cents per cubic yard THE EVENING STATESMAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1903. and 10 cents a yard additional for dis tributing. Massachusetts with con vict labor he said, distributed rock on the highways for S cents a cubic yard, and he estimated that the cost to Walia Walla county by the use of convict labor would not exceed 20 cents. It is not the intention of the new law to compete with free labor, he said, but to carry on the business of crushing rock the same as bricK and sack making to furnish employment for tha convicts His interpre'ation of the law makes it possible for tne state board to send any number of convicts from the peni tentiary to any part of the state to work in quarries. Was Timely Move. Ex-Governor Moore, who has taken great interest in securing good roads throughout the state, said the good roads question vas attracting wide spread attention all over the United States and every progressive state was endeavoring to better itself in this respect. The farmers of the state might devote a little of the time spent in denouncing railroads to im proving their road.-, though tiie nec essity of securing lower freight rates is also very essential at present. The governor advanced the idea that the use of oil upon Walla Walla county roads was impracticable owing to the porous nature of the soil which would soon absorb the oil and leave the roads in pretty much their origi nal condition. He thought that to build a mil" of rock road as an experi ment would solve the problem for all time- to come. If a large number of unemployed convicts now in the pen itentiary were put to work on county roads it would be a humane act to the prisoners as well as result in fine roadways in the course of a few years. He moved that President Turner appoint a committe of five to confer with tin- stale board of audit and con trol on its next visit to Walla Walla. incoroorate Club. inasmuch as the present by-laws of the c lub do not seem to cover the objects and scope of the- club, the question of incorporating and issuing stock was suggested by Attorney Blandford. He stated that all Com mercial clubs fulfilling the object they were intended for are incorporated. TRACKS ARE CLEAR. The O. R. N. succeeded yesterday in clearing its tracks sufficiently to allow trains to pass the wreck at Latourell Falls, says the Oregonian. The Spokane train reached Portland yesterday morning a few hours late and all the other trains were as near ly on time as possible. Trains arc now passing the point without incon venience. The locomotive and baggage car. which left the track at the scene of the accident, have been allowed to remain there. A wrecking crew from Portland is at tiie spot endeavoring to replace the cars on the track, but this is sh w work. The locomotive tipped over and is lying on its side. Until the engine is righted it will be difficult for offi cials to estimate the extent of tin damage done to rolling stock. It is assorted at the headquarters of the road, however, that the loss will he very light. The delay to the Spokane express is held to be the most serious inconvenience.

NATURAL GAS ROD OPPOSITE ASTORIA On the Washington Side —It May Mean Great Things for That Part of State. Astoria, Ore. —An important dis covery of petroleum gas has been made at Deep River, opposite Astoria on tiie north side of the Columbia, that is likely to cause a revolution in conditions on the lower Columbia. Sometime since Mr. John Nelson, who owns several hundred acres of land near the mouth of Deep River, found the water constantly bubbling up from the bed of (las Creek at low tid j He finally tested it and found it burned iike illuminating gas. The i lie piped it to his residence 1000 feet away, and it furnished both light and fuel. An (dl expert, Mr. S. H. Patter son, who for many years bored oil wells in Kansas and Indiana, came and pronounced it hydro-carbon or petro leum gas of high grade and said the entire Deep River basin was underlaid with petroleum. Then a sample of the gas was sent to Prof. B. D. Campbell, the famous chemist of Ann Arbor uni versity. He pronounced it hydro-car bon gas of high grade. His analysis shows 91.98 per cent of methane or hydrocarbon and 1.72 per cent of car bon dioxide, with :'>.:5S per cent, of ni- I irogen and 2.88 per cent of hydrogen. These certificates have settled beyond question the existence of petroleum gas in the Deep River basin, which j has certainly the appearance of a great j oil region. Deep River itself is a] singular feature of that region. As its name indicates, it is very deep. It is 130 feet, in depth at iow tide and is most likely a volcanic fissure.

This important discovery will make a great stir. It is understood that President .Mellen will extend his line to this point from South Bend and al so from Kaiama.

The oil or gas either, can be piped 2000 miles and can sup ply Seattle. Tacoma, Portland and Astoria with the fuel for factories. Location of these oil wells at the mouth of the Columbia will give it control of the oil market and will make a great revolution on the lower Columbia, it is believed that it will have a magical effect on Astoria, bringing the I'nion Pacific down to that port.

The board of education of School District No. 1 has confessed that it has issued illegal warrants to the amount of $63,729.69 by calling a spe cial election for June 30th for the pur pose of validating said legal indebted, ness and authorizing the issuance of bonds in lieu thereof. This is a com plete vindication of the position taken j by the Statesman .n its contention that the Washington school was illeg ally built and that the directors were exceeding their authority in attempt ing to pay for the site of a high school building and to erect a building there on by the issuance of warrants with out a voi of the people. If the p.-ople shall vote for the vali dation of the outstanding warrant in debtedness it will not be an indorse ment of the board's course In going ahead, with the construction of the high school without a vote of the peo ple. The board had no right to pur chase the sit- for the building with out authority from two-thirds of the voters expressed at a special election, and they will have no right to issue warrants for the completion of the high school without express authority from the peoph The validation of il legal indebtedness incurred in the building of the Washington school and in other way- will not give the board any authority to issue more il legal warrants, trusting to the peo ple to validate them also some time in the future. The bonding of old warrant indebt edness doe.- not take it out of the on and a half per cent constitutional limit. This point was decided by the supreme court of the state in the case of Hunt vs. Fawcett et al, 36 Pacific, 818. The $25,000 bond issue of 1891 was authorized to refund outstanding war rant indebtedness and the bond Issue of 1898 was issued for the same pur pose; therefore the total of $55,000 must be taken into account as coming under the one and a half per cent limit. The $63,000 issue which the board now asks authority to float will also come under this constitutional limit, and we -hall then have a total of $115,000. One and, a half per cent of the as sessed valuation of the property in School District No. 1 is a little less that; $60,000. Making due allowance for all assets, the indebtedness of the district will be far above the limit beyond which the hoard is forbidden to go without a vote of the people. It would be well, therefore, for the directors while they are about it to include in their call for a special elec tion authority to issue bonds for the building of the high school. Otherwise they will not escape from the legal complications that have threatened them. As the First National Bank seems to be very much concerned in the out come of the high school question, and as it has induced some of its patrons to agree to take specified amounts et the warrants to be issued if they should be declared illegal by the Silver Bracelets Secret Lockets Hat Pins, etc. at court p. it might be well for the board to make an appeal to the bank to withdraw its contention made in Judge Hanford's court that the five-mi!! school tax was illegally assessed and that it is therefore null and void, it this contention be upheld it would seriously affect the validity of the warrants to be issued and would cause the directors serious embarrassment. Other taxpayers might follow the example of the bank in refusing to pay a cent of school tax and. if the courts should decide in their favor, the district would be left in a most deplorable financial condition. The board should lay the ease before Sen ator Ankeny as president of the bank and endeavor to induce him to waive the question of the legality of the school tax even if It does cost him a few hundred dollars. His patriotic impulses should lead him to make this sacrifice for the sake of upholding the public school system of his home city. Tiie maintenance of our public schools is even more important than the retention of the rural delivery routes, but they cannot survive if all taxpayers follow the example of Mr. Ankeny's hank in refusing to pay their share of the five-mill school tax. The directors should call upon Mr. Ank eny and present the case to him in all its aspects, and the Statesman is con fident that he will agree to withdraw his bank's suit to enjoin the county treasurer from collecting any taxes on its stock. Till: NORTH NO BETTER Altogether too little regard is paid by many persons in the South for the life of the negroes. One can hardly pick up a newspaper these days but there is an account of a hanging, burning or shooting of a negro crim inal. It is disregard of law to inflict punishment without first giving the courts an opportunity to pass upon the case. Union. What the Union .-ays is true, but it should not confine its censure for dis regard of the law to the people of the South. The only reason there are not more negro lynchings in the North is because there are comparatively few negroes. In Kansas and Colorado negroes have been burned at the stake, and horrible lynchings of. negro mur derers or ravishers have occurred in other Northern states. At Belleville. Illinois, last Saturday. W. T. Wyatt. a negro school teacher, was burned by a frenzied mob for shooting and mortally wounding County School Su perintendent Charle s Hertel. Wyatt had been arrested and taken to jail. What occurred afterwards was thus told in the dispatches: "Two hours later a mob stormed the jail, secured the negro and despite the appeals of the mayor and other offi cials he was hanged. Hertel was re moved to tiie hospital, where the phy sician probed for the bullet, but he state there is no hope for his recovery. A young man named Fielder was in the office when the shooting occurred. He grappled with Wyatt. but the negr 0 beat him off with the butt of his re volver, inflicting a severe wound. Be fore he was hanged Wyatt asserted the shooting was the result of a polit ical grudge. "Tiie mem hanged Wyatt to a tele phone pole iti the public square. Even while his body was in the throes of strangulation, members of the mob began building a fire at the foot of the pole. The flames flared up and licked at the feet of the victim, but this did not satisfy the mob. and an other ami larger fire was started. When it had been burning briskly the negro, still half alive, was cut down and after being covered with coal oil he was thrust into the fire. Moans of pain were heard from the half dead victim of the mob. and these served to further infuriate his torturers. They fell upon him with clubs and knives and cut and beat the burning body almost to pieces, and not until every sign of life had departed did the y desist and permit the flames to devour the body. As the fire lighted up the scene the members of the mob stood around the fire hurling fagots into the flames and denouncing the negro for the shooting.'' And yet we talk of Russian cruelty to the Jews. RISING ABOVE PARTY. When the democratic mayor of Dwight. 111., said ir introducing Pres ident Roosevelt to a local audience the other day that he regarded the president as the ideal American citi zen and intended to supoprt him for the presidency next year. Mr. Roose velt was much pleased. In responding to this enthusiastic introduction, however, the president committed himself to an endorsement of nonpartisanship, which was rather an amenity than his sincere convic tion. "Perhaps I prize your kind words especially. Mr. Mayor." he said, "coming from one who i s not of my Martin Jewelry Co. THE EVENING STATESMAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1903. party. But the whole thing is. my friends, that if we are all good Ameri cans that is enough platform for all of us to stand on.' Now it is safe to say that only In the case of democrats who purpose to vote the republican ticket Is Mr, Roosevelt thus partial to the idea ol a man abandoning bis partj Should he hear of a republican who has made up his mind to vote the democratic ticket next year, the president's scorn and indignation would be v«?rj much in evidence. For Mr. Roosevelt is es sentially and temperamentally a par tisan. One cannot conceive of his supporting a democrat against a re pub lican. or as condoning the act on the part of any othc member of his party. In his warm appreciation of the sup port of the democratic- mayor ot Dwight. however, the president amus ingly illustrates the wordly wisdom of the old saying to the effect that it makes a lot Of difference whoso ox is gored. It's a case of "Come one. come all!" with the strenuous Mr. Roosevelt, in the event of alleged dem ocrats desiring to vote for him foi president. But what a shout of rage would issue from his stentorian lungs should a republican pref r to vote the democratic ticket! That would be terrible —and the president would doubtless openly express his contempt for turncoats, diplomatic as he was in concealing this contempt in the east of the mayor of Dwight who intends to vote for him next year. Gamblers and macquereux are plac ed under the ban at midnight tonight. It remains to be seen whether or not any attention will be paid to the new laws in Walla Walla or whether there will simply be a vacation until after the city election. It is rumored that gambling will be resumed in certain pseudo-residences near Main street in a short time. LINCOLN AND BEBC HER. Outlook. We may lie very sure thai neither Mr. Beecher nor Mr. Lincoln would, if they could, impose universal suffrage in the southern states today. Mr. Lincoln would not. because tie did not believe in universal suffrage. Mr. Beecher would not. because he did not believe in imposing his own beliefs on a community which did not accept them. In 1563, though tiie war was not ended, Mr. Lincoln would have trusted the people in the southern states to deal justly with the nice problem. In 1865, when the war was at an c nd. Mr. Beecher would have trusted the people of the southern states to deal justly with the race problem. In 1885, when experiment had shown the evil results of placing southern states under negro domina tion. Mr. Beecher would have trust ed the southern states to deal justly with the race problem. It is certain that in 1903, when the southern state.-" have shown their desire for the edu cation and the welfare of the col ared people by the money which they have paid in taxes for a public school system providing alike for negroes and for whites, by selling them thou sands of aokane and the Palouse country ...10:00 am Xo. 43 Leaves for Portland and Spokane via Wallula 10:15 p Xo. 44 Arrives from Port- I land and Spokane via Wallula 2:55 a in Xo. 41 Leaves for Pendle ton (except Sunday) 10:00 a j Xo. 42 Arrives from Pen dleton (except Sun day) 9:15 p a j Xo. 55 Arrives from Dayton 6:00 p aa j Xo. 56 Leaves for Dayton.. 7:30 a m I Xo. 45 Leaves for Wallula. 3:00 p m Xo. 46 Arrives from Wallu la 6:30 p m STEAMER LINES. j San Francisco-Portland route. i Steamer sails from Portland S p. m. every 5 days.

The controversy existing between the Retail Clerks' Protective Associa tion and the Schwabaeher Co.. was settled by a compromise last Monday evening. All the stores in the city agreed to close at t! p. m. with this one exception the firm (dosing its place of business at 8 o'clock. As re quested hy the clerks a committee from the Trades and Labor Council called on the manager and discussed the point at issue. They met with a heartj reception hy the firm and thy 'att.'i finally agreed to a compromise and stated their willingness to sign an agreement to (dose their store at seven o'clock during the months id' June, July und August, and at t> o'clock ile- months following. This compromise was reported to tiie derks ;.t a called meeting Monday evening and the committee recom mended its adoption. After a full and 1 omplete" discussion, the report and recommendation was received and unanimously adopted. A committee of i!e.' clerks was then appointed to •all upon the stores of Messrs. Seil and Shott and that of Mi. Beck aud these gentlemen readily consented to close their stores at. that hour. The clerks wish to express their deepest appreciation to tiie proprietors of the various union stores in the city for their kindness in tiie past in agreeing to the >'clock closing movement. The clerks feel indebted to these business men ami assure them that their action in agreeing to that hour will long lie remembered. Under the xisting circumstances, however, at the urg nt desire of their supporters, 'he Trad, Council, the Clerks' Asso ciation felt 't their duty to abide by the committee's recommendation un til such time as the purchasing public ran if- educated to the shorter-day movent* nt. The secretary of tiie Clerks association was instructed to notify all stores holding union cards of tic compromise and the new hour of losing. While the committee was ;it work, an effort to enrol] smaller' stores as "Union" stores was success ful and. in each case permission to use tie- store card was granted. The Clerks Association will at one* take steps to enroll every female clerk in their ranks and in this manner enlarge their organization, it is the i earnest desire of the association to avoid anything tending to friction ia the future and for that reason an in vitation is extended to ail clerks not already enrolled, to send in their ap plication as soon as possible. The objabel of their union to the general public. Whenever you hear any cigar dealer or merchant in form tiie would-be purchaser of union cigars that the cigar under discus sion is a union product hut that the manufacturer does not care to use the label on the box. you can tell that per son he is talking through his hat. It is plain to see that the spending of jthis large sum in advertising tiie label brings good results to the manufac turer using the label thus advertised. Consequently, there is no manufac turer of union cigar who does not gladly take advantage of our label. We are intending to establish a northwestern branch of the Blue Label league for the purpose of bringing be fore the smoking public our union pro duct." "In referring to the local situation he said: "Let every union man in this city a.-k for union cigars which are made in your own city. Let the local cigar manufacturers put up the best product aud advertise the fact that they are alive. If the union men 'then pan. nize your home cigarmakers a mutual ber .it would thus he oh [tained. The local union cigar manu facturers should make their brands a well known aiming union labor." "In reference to the early struggle of the labor movement in this city Mr. Rammelsberg told his hearers of the birth of the present Tacoma trades council: "We had no trade council." said he. "and one evening three of us. union men. met on the street corner ami sitting down on the curbstone we organized the Tacoma trade council, wiih three members and discussed ways and means and a future meeting place. We then adjourned to the offices of the local papers and gave out an interesting account of the new Tacoma Trade council which would hold its second meeting at Xo. the following week. In that way were we started a,id today we have a represent tative body of several thousand union men." PRAISES LABOR LEADERS. Mr. Menzies' Talk on the Work Ac complished in Walla Walla. Walla Walla was visited for the first time last Saturday by the well known and popular labor leader James Men zies. secretary of the Washington State Federation of Labor. Mr. Menzies was in town but a brief period hut during that time became acquainted with the majority of our local union men. Speaking of the local labor situation Mr. Menzies said: "Your union work ers deserve much praise for the splendid results as seen in the union labor movement in this city today. You are closely united, heartily in sympathy with one another, and the affairs of one organization quickly be come that of all. You seem ever ready to lend a helping hand towards one another and indeed I congratulate you on the noble spirit shown. It is indeed a pleasure to meet with so much deep interest in our cause and at. the same time so much conserva tism. You are to be commended for the careful handling of local condi tions and if this spirit continues shall be compelled to look upon Walla Waila labor organizations as among the banner organizations of the siate. I am much interested in the local bakers' union and have for sonic time been following their course. It should be the duty of every union man in the city to turn their attention in this or ganization's direction and if any as sistance be desired to give it with a promptness sufficient to meet the oc casion. "The local clerks' association is to be congratulated for its conservative spirit and the support given to it by organized labor stands as a shining example to labor in general The local trades council strikes me as being composed of excellent mate rial, thoughtful conservative yet deep ly enthusiastic union men. and I trust they may long continue to guide ihe labor movement here. As you are aware, the state federa tion was organized to push labor legis lation and look after labor's interests in general. This being the case each union in your city should at once see the necessity of affiliating with us and thus lending their efforts in this direc tion. The association asks but two cents per nn>nth from each member and in the aggregate this sum enables us to ably represent labor at the legis lative halls. Let me urge you to take action in the union to which you be long, to bring up this question at your n.000. Union made beer at Meath Strad ley's Xo. Main. Porter on draught.

Bears the [T OEY SIXTY DAYS AROI.\D THE WORLD Railroad Man Points Out How the Trip Could Be Gteatly Shortened. London.— Mr. Gerrare, the editor of Bradshaw's Genera] Railroad and Steam Navigation Guide, points out the fact that, although there are 100 routes for anyone who wants to go around the world there is no through service, as the trains and steamers do not connect, with one exception. The ocean route of 25,412 miles from New Zealand via the Cape of Goo] Hope and homeward via Cape Horn was covered by Shaw Savill in an Al bion steamer in about eighty-five days. He points out that the time now actually required to travel by the dif ferent sections of the overland route is less than forty-five days, but as the services of the railroads and steamers do not connect the shortest time recorded for a round-the-world journey is sixty-three days, and that by the long sea i.is,cad of the over land route. But the different sections of the latter are already so well served that it is even now possible to go around the world in sixty days with ease and comfort. Th is would he a certainty if the companies arranged for the transference of passengers and mails at the termini. Two Main Routes. He continues: "There are two main routes, one British and the other foreign. The former is controlled by the Canadian Pacific railroad between Great Brit ain and .Japan or Hongkong, by the Peninsula and Oriental between China or Japan and England. The mere readjustment in the hours and days of sailing to and from Yokohama or Hongkong would constitute a thorough mail service. The record time to or from Hongkong eastward is twenty four days. From Hongkong to Van couver it is sevente* n and one-haif days, and from Vancouver to London eleven days, making a total of six ty-two and om-half days. Therefore, it is possible to maintain a sixty-day service around the world with an am ple margin for contingencies and waits." The editor proceeds u> point out thar. the foreign route which is most likely to compete with the British service is the Transsiberian express service, which connects Vladivostok with the mail steamers for Yokohama by way of Tsaruga. The crossing of the Pacific at high speed will be possible by the enormous steamers of the Great Northern railway, of which two are already afloat. The same company will convey passengers from Tacoma to New York and there the ships of the International Mer cantile Marine company will bring them to and from Europe. British Urged to Act. He urges the companies interested in the British route to hasten the link ing of their connections before a thorough service is established be tween the Atlantic and Chinese ports by the other route, as the first all round through service is likely to be the best known and best patroniz ed. As against any possible argument that no one wants to go around in sixty days, he points out that if such a service exists, people would use it as far a s they cared to go. comparing it with the inner circle of the metrop olitan railway of London. Quite re cently a man in Wei-Hai-Wei posted two letters for London. One which came by way of Siberia arrived in twenty-eight days, the other hy the western route in twenty-nine, yet a trip around the world by way of Wei Hai-Wei can only be accomplished in certain seasons, and with good luck, in eighty days. With a sixty days' through service any place can he reached east or west within a month. Mother—Do you thiol; that young man has matrimonial intentions, my dear? Daughter—l certainly do, mam ma.
