LONDON. Sept. 17 (Special to Th Bee )
The country Is becoming worked up over
the question as to whether the Prince of
Wales thell have hie formel Investiture at
Cardiff or Carnarvon In Wales. Each of
those places claims to have a prior and
sole . right to whatever glory and honor
may attach to the ceremony. Letters have
been . pouring Into King George and his
cabinet ministers pleading for the places
named. It is hinted that the king has been
advised to have a double Investiture, one
for each place. That will probable be the
may In which the dispute will be settled.
Klac Is Close.
Many London tredesmen are grumbling
about King George's economical habits.
They say he is an excellent man, but In no
way to be compared with his father as a
spender. King Edward believed that money
was made only to be spent. His son, the
reigning monarch, believes that money, like
everything else, should be used when necessary-
A London tobacconist, speaking of
Kirg George, said: "Oh, why, hang his
majesty!. He smokes a pipe when not In
company, while his father, bless his mem
ory, smoked a dosen cigars In a day."
. Worry Asset Strike.
English shipping men aad merchants are
much worried over the prospect of a strike
of the seamen. They are talking about
taking steps toward heading It off if pos
sible. It Is well known that recently at
Copenhagen the seamen's unlocs of Europe
decided to proclaim an international strike
at a date to be kept secret to all except
the leaders, unless In every country the

of a conciliation board for the considers.

agreement Is arrived at with the owners,
the strike will begin In about two months

A strange story comes from the St, An

earmarks of truth. It is said that a skill

Irregular arose until the at tent km of one
of the regular doctora was called to the
fact that Maj. Faiconl was supposed to be
In Switzerland. The major was not 'un
known to some of the staff, and It
was remarkable that if be waa being
impersonated the substitute bore an extraordinary-likeness
to the original.
The doctora, determined to get at the
bottom of the mystery, sent an official to
call at the major's residence. The door
waa opened by the major's housekeeper.
Emilia Boal, and no sooner had the hospital
official eern her than he felt convinced
that this was the person who had been
In disguise of a physician at the hospital.
He Inquired for Major Faiconl, and. being
Informed that the major was not home. re.
turned to the hospital and assured the dl
rector that aiajor l-aiconl waa a woman
In disguise. When he next called at the
hospital "Major Faiconl" was questioned
so closely that secrecy was no longer pos
sible. Investigation showed that the
woman, who certainly bears a remarkable !
likeness to the real major, had during hia
absence lost her reason and Imagined her
self to be her master, and by means of the
uniforms succeeded In deluding ethers.
rsther persistent reports that Emperor
William has seriously considered the propo
sition that he should delegate a number
of hia dutiea to the crown prince. Al
though he Is not sick, the emperor is far
from being a well man. Never at any time
a stalwart In health, William has lived at
high pressure from the day he'aacended
the throne. He haa been one of the busi
est monarchs since the days of Napoleon.
His life has been a tremendous and use
ful one. He has never hsd what may be
timtd a strong constitution, and It Is
only by an extreme sober regime that he
has been able to support tba physical and
mental fatigue of his office. He haa had
breakdowns during the last few months.
and his physicians, although they do not
consider him In lmmedlste danger, have
advised his absentation from work that can
be fulfilled by his son.
There are numerous public petty dut'es
that may be safely impressed on the prinoe
end the emperor relieved to that extent.
The change will not be made until the

The real originator of the idea of raising

was King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who was
actuated by political reasons. In Bulgaria

changes have not yet been approved by the

the kingly dignity, while others take the
Balkan view that the title ahould be won

these objections. King Ferdinand Intends
