REFORM SPELLING
State Chronicle.

State Chronicle.
The adyocstes of reform In spell
ling haye generally been so ultra
and revolutionary that they have not
received popular support. The fol-
lowing demands are so moderate and
sensible that we lay them before the
public as likely to be granted at no
distant day:
"English spelling Is the worst IN
the world. Millions of dollars are
wasted each year i'll the writing and
printing Of your letters. The educ,-
tion of our children is retarded and
the progress of our people is hamper
ed by our cumbrous, illogical, mis-
leading ortbography. Tue scholar
ship of the world is almost a unit in
demanding a change. Tue Aneri>
can Pathological Association has rec
ommended the following rules for
new spellings. and q resolution has
been introduced in Congress, in
-tructiog the PAblic Printer to con-
form to them in all printing for the
government:
l. Drop UE at the end Of words
like dialogue, catalogue. etc., where
the preceding vowel ls short. Thus
spelling demagog. epilog. synsRog
etc.
2. Drop final 10 such words S.
definite infinite, fsvorite, etc where
the preceding vowel is short. Thus
spall opposit, preterit, hypocrit, etc
3. Drop fnal TIE in words IKE
qusrtette, coquette, cigarette, etc
Thus spell cigsret, roset, epaulet, We
dit, gazet, etc.
4. Drop fnsl ME- in words ike
programme Thus spell program

Pacific passenger coming east collided at
Blue Water, 107 miles west of Albu-

Fireman Haggey and Conductor Moran
were killed. The fireman of the special
had his leg cut off. No serious Injuries
to the passengers are yet reported. Both
engines were demolished. A special
bearing officials of the road went to the
scene of the accident this morning. A
strong feeling is expressed here, as it is
believed the accident is the result of Grim

Fireman Waverly died of his injuries
tonight, making in all five deaths While
the passengers were badly shaken up,
none were seriously injured.

Special TO the REcoRp-uN1or.

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 22.-The field trials
were concluded this afternoon on the
same grounds used yesterday. The
weather was warm in the middle of the
day, and working in the dry sage brush
made it difficult for the dogs to display
their seeming powers. The work done
was, however, Of very high class. r.
L. Nandervoert, one of the judges, and
who is one Of the most experienced field
trial men in the Union, declares that,
making allowance for the heat and dry
ness, the work done by the dogs this
week compares favorably with the best
he ever witnessed among the crack dogs
in the East. Your correspondent last
night named the probable winners of the
all-age stake as Lady Trippo first, Sally
was the result of to-day's heats.
The first heat was between Higg's setter
Lady Trippo and Huber's pointer Sallie
Brass, both being handled by Allender,
their trainer. 1t was holly contested
but Sallie seemed to have left her nose at
home on this occasion, for Lady Trippo
won handily. This gave the latter first
money. Then Post u Harper's setter
Pelham and Brassford's pointer Nick
w. were put down, and the pointer won.
Nick W. then had to contest against
Sallie Brass for second money, and Sallie
beat him.
Watson's pointer Black Joe and Nick
w. concluded the trials by running off
for third place. Three heats in success
sion for Nick w. against fresh dogs, and
on hot day. was too much for him, and
Joe won.
Birds were plentiful to-day and the
cover where the dogs were worked was
excellent.
Tonight many of the visitors leave for
their homes, while others will remain
over to do some quail shooting tomorrow
over their fine dogs.
The meeting has been a most enioya-
bic one and the future of the club is
bright. Fourteen new members have
been added and the list now embraces
most of the prominent sportsmen in the
State.
At meeting of the Field Trials Club
tonight proposition was received from
! the citizens of bakersfield to add $3.50
next year to the purses and was accepted
with thanks. The citizens will also trap
1900 quails and place them upon grounds
near the city on which the trials NAV be
run, in order to avoid the long journey of
eighteen miles to the grounds, as is now
necessary in order to find birds in suffi-
Gent numbers. This and the extra purse
money will have boom effect on next
years trials.

a Hotel-Keeper Badly Beaten About
the Head and Body.
MERGED, Jan. 22.-This evening Bar
ney Grogan, a hotel-keeper, was badly
beaten about the head and body by Bob
McFarlane. Both were drunk in Gro
gan's hotel, when the latter refused to
drink with McFarlane, who immedi-
ately knocked the otel-keeper down and
jumped on him. Grogan's face presented
horrible sight. A physician put six
teen stitches in the face and says one eye
is destroyed. The assault was unpro-
voked. McFarlane is the same man who
created some disturbance in court at the
Olsen trial last spring, going on the wit
ness-stand with pistol sticking out of
back pocket, and threatened to whip
another witness on the stand. He was
arrested and his bond fixed at $500, and is
now in Jail.

TROUBLE OVER A MINE.
Colonel Dan Burns Confined in a Mex

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 22.-Two rival
claimants to a mine, which is supposed
to be the tabled Potosi with its hidden
treasures, are confined in the same room
in the Belem Prison. Both claimants are
Presidents of mining companies. One is
in possession of the mining company and
the other is fighting for it. Their names
are Colonel Daniel NJ. Burns, the Califor-
MIA politician, and Colonel George Green
of the Mexican army. This was caused
by the appearance of another claimant,
Mark Birmingham, also of California.
These three are participants in dispute
regarding the great and productive sill
yer mines of Candelaria, near San Di-
emas, State of Sinaloa. These mines have
had and still have the record of being
great undergraduates, and the silver
mineral in sight is said to be fabulous.
Mr.. Burns is in possession of the prop
erty, with his associates, and has been
working the mines regularly, with good

Pittsburg Post.''
PITTsBURG (Pa.), Jan. 22.-The jury in
the famous criminal libel suit of Senator
Quay against the Pittsburg Post Publish
ing Company-A1bert Barr, President,
and James Mills, editor-brought in a
verdict this evening of guilty in the man
ner and form as indicted. Judge Horter,
in his charge to the jury, said if the pub
LEGATION was made without negligence.
then the jury must acQuit. The jury
must be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt
that the publication was made negligently
and maliciously; otherwise, the verdict
must be for defendant.
Continuing, he said: ''It is the duty OF
the commonwealth to prove malice, if
the words used are necessarily of char
acter to blacken the reputation, and the
charge is false. The law DreSumes
malice. In this case, there is no evidence
or allegation of any special meaning, and,
therefore, the meaning is to be gathered
from the whole article on the subject, and
after obtaining all the light possible.''
At 6 o'clock the jury came in and asked
for additional instructions. The points
on which they desired information was
whether the jury would be justified in
bringing in a verdict of guilty, if they
found no malice, but negligence; also, if
defendants should be found guilty as a
corporation or individuals. The Judge
said when negligence was found, the law
presumed malice, and if it was malicious
or negligence it was the duty Of the
jurors to convict those defendants who
were responsible for the publication.
The jury, after half an hour, returned
with verdict as above.
The Post will tomorrow comment
editorially, saying a Republican court.
a Republican prosecuting attorney and a
Republican jury have convicted Demo-
cratic journal of libel on leader of the
Republican party. The Post will also
denounce the methods of the Republican
District Attorney, both in Beaver County
and in this trial in securing a jury

SHOT IN THE LEG.
A Searcher for Treasure Seriously
Wounded.

GRASS VALLEY, Jan. 22.-The house of
David Jones, near town, has been visited
nightly for several weeks by parties in
search of treasure supposed to be hidden
in the basement. A spring-gun was set,
and last night an old resident named Vim
cent Stguel was shot. The wound is in
the leg, and is very severe one. tearing
the flesh to the bone, just below the knee.
There has been an idea prevalent for
some time that the old inhabitants of the
Jones house had died and left money
buried in the cellar.
The man shot last night had friends
with him, who carried him away, but the
blood stains enabled the officers to find
the man, who has been arrested on a
charge Of burglary.

Democrats Laredo special says: A raid
upon Iona Prieto, the ranch where
Cara was located the first part of the
week, failed. He had been there, but the
only trace found OF him was an old
camp fire. There is no doubt Cara has
spies who keep him constantly informed
of the whereabouts Of the troops. 1t be-
gins to look as if they would never effect
his capture while acting under the pres
ent plan of operations against him. They
probably will prevent him connecting
his forces on American soil. but further
than this they will be unable to accom-
plish anything. From parties who have
communication with GarZa's family, it is
learned that as long as the cold weather
continues no open movement by the

The Matter to be Submitted to the
Chilean Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-No dispatches
were received to-day at either the State or
Navy Department in regard to the condi-
ton of affairs in Chile.
AT meeting of the Cabinet to-day the
Chilean question was discussed. tits i'm
possible at this writing to obtain any Off
cial information on this subject, but it is
generally understood the Cabinet practi-
cally decided to submit the matter to
Congress early next week in order that
Congress, as well as the country at large,
might know the exact status of the con
troversy. While such q course would not
in itself indicate the termination Of diplo-
matte negotiations for the settlement of
the matter in dispute, it would give the
public, through Congress, the opportu-
nifty to determine which country is re-
sponsible for the present unsettled state
Of affairs.
ALLEGED FORECAST OF THE MESSAGE.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The last 1fafE and
Express Washington special gives an
alleged forecast of the Presidents Chile
message, asserting the latter will be an
issue of veracity with Malta, who came
to his office prejudiced against the
United States. The allegations of the
Cnlean Minister VIII be dlSproved by a
tremendous mass of testimony, showing
that the offensive language In the affair
was all on Matta's side, and that the
massacre OF October 10th was not "a
drunken row."
CHILE WANTS MORE TIME.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %. = The Star
has this: According to the best informa-
ton the foundation for the change in
opinion which rumor experienced from
war TO peace, is that Chile suggested to
this country that about six weeks more
time should be allowed her within which
to determine whether or not she make
an apology. No promise of reparation is
made, but it is broadly asserted that
Chile will do what she thinks is right.
