On of ttue distinguished feature o
the Yale bicentennial celebration wd
be the first public appearance of the
Japanese erndents says a diSpatgt
from Kew Haven, Conn.
Bankers, merchants.- shipbuilders or
preachers In their native land, thex
have been aOYale plain students This
la to bp their debut as- members of the
tmiversity. There are an, even two
dozen at Yale, more than at any Amer
ican5 nnl-Kersity. Committees have been
ftppointed'and arrangements made for
a huge Japanese float' to be a part of
the torchlight procession of Monday
flight. Beside it will march tfie Jap
anese students, garbed In pink caps
and gowns. Each will wear a huge yel
low chrysanthemum.
Transparencies will be painted by
Nariyoshi Nishiike, a prominent Kioto
banker, who has studied art in Japan
and proposes to use It In honor of the
bicentennial. Uncle Sam wiU ha nor.
trayed shaking hands with a cov Jan.
anese. A national flag will be a red
rising sun on a white, ground, and real
Japanese lanterns wiil make the illu
mination complete. The Japanese
guests or honor be Marquis Ito,
ex-premier of Japan; Kazuo Hatoya
ma, now lecturing at Yale on the
"Japanese Qivll Code," and Professor
JXafcashlma of Tokyo universitv.
Yale has offered a derrp f t.t. t
to Marquis ito, and one of his four at
tendants was here the other day con
ferring with the university authorities
concerning his visit.
Mr. Hatoyama will also receive the
oegree of LL. D. Kl Kuhara and Pro
cessor H. Murack. who werfe Invito
to the celebration, both from Tokyo
university, will not be present. One of
the unique characters among the Jap
anese colony at .Yale this year is a
Buddhist priest who has come here to
represent his sect In the study of eth
ics. He is Yamazaki, a graduate of
flip University of Keiogiji Ku, in
northern Japan. He Is the first Tin.
flhist priest to visit an American uni
versity.
' Of the Japs at Yale three are ilvint
ty students, two law students, one a
mecncai student and the remainder In
the graduate school. Mr. Yamazaki Is
monjg the latter list.
WHY ENGLAND IS BEATEN.
G Better Railway Rate.
Some of the reasons why American
pianuracturera beat us In our own mar
kets, says the London Extaress. xpVa
very clearly pointed out by Mr. Sheriff
tawrence, al , speaking at a meeting
ef the Newport chamber of commerce
caiiea recently to consider the best
means of furt tiering the trade of the
.veisn port.

uia.K.ert couda aenver was $iy. He add
ed that the $10.50 included $5- for ocean
jreight; but that when they had per
fected their present arrangement the
price would be lower still. Mr. Schwab
also said that at the Pittsburir steel
-works and elsewhere they paid their
men aouDie the wages the same class
of men got in England, hut the cost of
producing was only one-third of what
it was in .England.
' The cheap cost of transport in Amer
ica, greatly contributed to It3 grow
ing manufacturing supremacy. Iron
pre was carried 156 miles for 53 cents
per gross ton, or one-third of a cent
per ton pertile. .q?his rate was very
profitable olrthe railways, as the cost
or haulage was only . 30 cents, includ
ing Interest on capital. It was note
worthy that the cost of carriage from
Pittsburg to New York 450 miles
I was less than from Liverpool to Bir
imingham, one-fourth of the distance.
In America cheapness of production
in staple Industries was greatly aided
by knowing the prime cost of trans-
port. English railways followed no
principle of prime cost and regard was
way paia to wnat the tramc would

J SOFT COAL COMBINE.
For Operating In Chesapeake
and Onto District.
A combination among some of the
large soft coal operators in the New
river district "or the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, savs a Cincinnati dis
patch, is being formed with the view
ef competing with the Pocahontas Coal
and Coke company, which was Incor
porated in Trenton, N. J with a cap-
xi&i or $4u,oou,uuo.
1 The combination, It Is Bald, Is headed
by the MeKee Coal and Coke company
bf West Virginia, larsre miners of coal
and owners of land In the New river
dstrict. The annual output of this
company alone is estimated at some
thing over 1,000,000 tons. The com
pany O-wns some 25,000 acres of coal
land and bas under its control some
40,000 acres more; which is considered
jzoore than one-half of ail the available
coal land along "the Chesapeake, and
Ohio railroad. . ,-Hv '
