EXPO'T MERCHANTS

At the outset the lecturer ex- plained that he had obtained his information by observing the different pageants and then asking questions about them. He pointed out how the ceremonies of different parts of China differed considerably, the North having processions which one did not find in the South. Even

KARLIER TELEGRAMS

NEW. SULTAN OF TURKEY.

Constantinopla, Nov. 20.

Abdul Medjid, azed fifty-four and son of Sultan Abdul Aziz and cousin of the deposed Sultan, was elected by 148.out of 162 votes cast in the Assembly, which numbers 800 members.

The new Caliph is highly educated and a most inferested patron of Music and Painting.

The Amir of Afghanistan received two votes.

Rafet Pasha flew into a towring rage when he heard the news of the Sultan's disappearance. Ha soundly rated the Police Authorities as he expected he would be disgraced.

The Sultan's departure from the Palace passed unnoticed for two hours.

THE LAUSANNE CONFERENCE.

London, Nor, 20.

The complete allied agrement on the eve of past Conferences. so often announced only to be fasified by subsequent events, has given rise to a disposition to look rather askance at the repetition of this assurance in respect to the gatherier at Lausaune.

Nevertheless the absolute necessity of settling the Near East question on a firm basis affords justification for the belief that there are sounder grounds for accepting the familiar declaration on the present occasion. The papers impress upon the Allies the unity, particularly in requiring the paramount importance of maintenance of Allied control at the danger point in Constan- tinople until peace is ratified.

SENATOR NEWBERRY RESIGNS.

Washington, Nov. 20.

Senator Truman Handy Newberry, Senator for Michigan for the term 1910-1925, whose election Mr. Henry Ford contested, last year, on the ground that he had bought vetes--but who neverthe- less was authorised by the Senate to take his seat-has resigned.

Senator Newberry states he has resigned because of the defeat of his Republican colleague at the recent Election. He de- clares this makes it futile for him to continge in the public service. as he would be continually hampered by partiean political persecution.
