The trial of Thyssen-at Mayence has been postponed till Tuesday.
The railway officials arrested at Essen will be re leased when certain books are examined.
The strike of railway officials at Dortmund appears to have originated in the arrest of the station foramen as the result of a controversy with a French officer. Hitherto there has been no general strike of railwaymes. The trains are running but there are heavy delays, WORKERS PASSIVELY RESISTING."

LUXOR TREASURIA
TOURISTS FLOOKING TO
Luxon, January 22. World wide interest is being evinced at the prospect pfinding the body of Pharach Tutankhamen and price fere archeological data which may possibly revolutionise egyptology in the inner chamber of the tomb in the Valley of Kings recently discovered by Lord Carnarvon. Very valuable antiquities and treasure have already been removed from the outer chamber. including a gold inlaid throne, royal jewelkry, coramics, clothing, forniture and papyri. Crowds of tourists, largely American are flocking, to Egypt where the hotels are already crowded to the limit of their capacity. The shipping companies are giving special, ratos. for accommodation.
The fact that the statues guarding the entrance to the third chamber have been found intact encourages the hops that the mansaleam will likewise be found intact. If the King's body is fonud; as is confidently hoped, this will complete one of the most wonderful dis coveries of all the ages. It is therefore easy to imagine the exoltement, zot to say anxiety, with which the event is awaited. It is not unlikely that King Fond will be presett at the opening of the chamber.]
