New Schedules Announced by
Railroad Men in Chicago.
American Lines Combine to Force
the Canadian Pacific to Terms
No Sign Of Abatement in the
COntest-Reduced Schedules From
Many Difficulties in Adjusting Con-
Aicting Interests Of the Roads In
volved-Eastern Lines Undoubt-
edly Will Soon Make Reductions.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-Intelhgenc,
CHICAGO, Feb. &.@Thirty-sIx dollars
will be clipped from the passenger rate of
all lines between Chicago and Seattle and
other North Pacific coast points tomorrow.
and hereafter will be $3.50. Up to today
the authorized charge has been s67 80 on
the same class OF transportation. on un-
limited transportation it has been as high
as $3.50.
No higher charge will be put into effect
until the warfare between the American
lines and the Canadian Pacific is settled.
The prospects fer yet lower charges are
exceedingly bright. as the American lines
are determined 10 make the fight bitter.
and the Canadian Pacific shows no signs
of weakness. The rate OF $3.50 will be
applied through Omaha. Kansas City and
through st. Paul.
The Canadian Pacific rate from all ter
ritory east Of Buffalo is sac. The rate
agreed upon by the Western lines. there
fore. leaves the Grand Trunk. which will
work with them. margin OF $50 for traf
tic between Buffalo and east thereof to
Chicago.
The Western lines are still in session in
this city. having many details of the war
fare yet to settle. The Chicago Great
!. " e D. fer instance. insists upon apply
ing fiat rates from all points on its line
between Kansas City and ST. Paul, arguing
that it cannot meet the Canadian Pacific
competition if it sells tickets on the re-
bate plan. The Union Pacific. realizing
that considerable business from Western
Iowa will move 10 ST. Paul IL fat rates
through tha. city are applied. and IL the
rebate plan is in vogue through Omaha,
combats the proposition.
It is now only a question OF time when
all the Eastern lines will join with the
Western roads in fighting the Canadian
Pacific. With the Grand Trunk working
with the Western lines and applying low
rates from New York and the East,
the other Eastern lines viii secure no busi-
ness unless they place themselves upon the
same basis. Already there is a sign that
some OF them are breaking away from the
understanding that they are to make TO
reductions. for the Western passenger men
are getting offers Of assistance from indi-
vldual lines. This means simply that each
Eastern line suspects every other. and
general cooperation with the Western
roads IS but a question of few days.

Pnre Water and New Boilers.

The corrosive power of pure water on
new or unscaled boilers was we'll illus
trated in the city Of Glasgow when
new water supply was introduced from
Loeb Katrine, one of the purest waters
in the world which are available for
city consumption. The former supply
had been poor and calcareous, and ole
boilers were much coated with limo
scale. To the dismay of the users those
who had put in new boilers or new
tubes found them rapidly corroding,
while the old scaled and coated boilers
remained as before. Those, too, who
had removed every possible trace of old
incrustaticn from their old boilers by
mechanical or chemical means, intend
ing thus to get as they expected, the
full benefit of pure water, were also
badly troubled by corrosion, and even
the old boilers as the scale was gradual
ly removed BY the unvaryingly soft ana
pure water from the lake were more or
less corrudel when no means were taken
to prevent iJ.

some Examples of the Glaring Inconsist-
encies of Its Alphabet.

AS our alphabet now stands--eyen
after 5000 years of perfecting-it is
string of singularly ambiguous signs
and affords an unequaled opportunity
for tornentors, just as man who can
not express himself clearly can be
plagued with sophisticated questions
The confusion of English sound and let
tiers is well illustrated by spelling cof-
fee without one correct letter-kauphy
which spelling is nearer the original
than the one in use, for IA pamphlet was
printed in Oxford in 1859 on "The Ma
ture of the Drink Kauphi or Coffee"
The artistically bad photography Of
many of our funny writers is made pos
sible by the glaring Inconsistencies OF
our alphabet But some instances OF nat
urally funny bad spelling are perhaps
equal to any artificial ones. Here is
note that was sent to a doctor:
Cer-Yole oblige me uf yole kun un CO me
hcv Bad how'd am Hill an hev lost my Hap
Ply Tight.
The following received by school
master, was likely to be misunderstood:
Sur-As you are a man of nologe | intend to
ter my SON in your skull.

Many eccentric devices Of literature
| depend on the peculiar arrangement OF
letters. Some of these have fine sound
ing names.and are recognized as famous
| recreations of the learned. The palm

backward and forward, is one OF the
most difficult of all feats of letter jug

Recipes which tho Sender Says Arc TX
oeiiont and Not Found In Books.
Here is 2 recipe for turkey and chick
en- stuMng which the sender says is very
different in its results from those given
in the oookbooks:
Crumble OF crate the inside Of stale
LOAF on more Of bakers bread, either a
rouad loaf OF milk bread. Add pepper
and salt, the grated rind of o lemon and
TO a loaf half the juice; to 2 loaves, all
of it; little grated nutmeg, handful
each Of finely cut parsley leaves aud fine
white celery leaves, thyme, sweet mar
joram and summer savory, using the
leaves in preference to the ground, aud
twice the quantity Of thyme as of the
marjoram or sayory. Mix al together
dry and fill the crops, putting all the
remainder Into the bodies Of the fowl
AS the filling is being done add small
pieces Of good butter, which, together
with the proper basting, will give the
dressing sufficient moisture.
This dressing is also excellent for
roast leg of pork when you do not want
to simulate duck or goose with it.
1.-THE recipe for the good old English
stuning for ducks or geese, a" the sender
adds, II never see in cur cookbooks and
do not find it used upon my neighbors
tables. People spoil these birds with
soft bread and muss. :"
This is the old recipe for stufling for
geese, ducks or a leg of pork:
Take equal parts of parboiled potatoes
cut into inch square cubes and onions
cut up. Strain dry, add pepper. and salt
and sage leaves crushed up. Prepare
enough of the mixture to fill the pork
or birds with it and to lay some OF it
under them in the roasting pan. Keep
this extra filling under the birds. Dish
it separately and serve it at the table
with the rest.-New York Sun.

RACE TO The YUKON.
Two Railways Have Men mt Work on the
Lines.

ottawa. Ont, ian. IA railroad
building race, involving the expenditure
of $16OOO,000, has been commenced by
two wealthy corporations, each OF
which desires to own the first railroad
into the Yukon country. Each road will
be about 400 miles long running from
Pyramid harbor, near the head Of Lynn
canal, to points on Lewis river, below
Five Finger rapids. The companies
back OF the railroad projects are the
London Exploration company and the
Yukon compeny, organized last summer
by Andrew r. Burieish, the principal
stockholds-7 Of which are Philadelphia
and New Tcr'. men.
Both corpora IONS have engineers and
surveyors at wcr'. between Pyramid
harbor and the Lewis river. The prof.
ectors Of both roads figure on an az
erage cost Of over 100000 mile, requir-
Ing an outlay OF over $3.C0O, eco for each
road. The equipment for each viii cost
about 81, 100000 more. Both companies
have secured rights OF way from the
Canadian government and are nov
working to secure from congress nee
essary rights Of way through eighty
miles Of American territory.

The Matter Was Under Consider
alton at the Spanish Cabinet
Meeting Monday Night.
SPANISH PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
They Were Instructed to Contend for
the Integrity of Spanish Sover-
eighty in the Philippines.
They Are to Make Strong Stand Re-
garding the Cuban Debt and the Philip
pine Loan of 1895, II Luzon is Ceded
to the United States.

MADRID, Sept 2T.-The cabinet Mon
day evening had under discussion
Capt Gen. Blanco's dispatch concern
ing the American claims in connection
with the evacuation of Cuba.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, states that the Spanish
peace commissioners have been in
structed to contend strongly for the
integrity of Spanish sovereignty in
the Philippines, on the ground
that the protocol between Spain
and the United States was signed
before Manila capitulated. And
also to make firm stand regard
ing the Cuban debt and the Philippine
loan of 1896, if Luzon is ceded to Amer
lea. Should the United States prove
less exacting than is expected, the
commissioners have, however, to make
all possible concessions, until po-
