CoIIeee Spelling GeSfs.

The freshmen and ~sophomores of
Columbia University are in a condition
of humiliation because they have re-
Gently been put through a spelling ex-
animation. the spelling book not being
considered an adjunct of the higher ed
ucation. The results of the examina-
ton are generally humiliating, as they
indicate that the spelling book is not
an adjunct either of the higher or low
er education to the extent 1t should be.
1t is not unlikely that If the spelling
test were applied to the students of all
other colleges the result. would be the
same. 1t might even prove disastrous
to the faculties of the higher and the
teachers of the lower schools. Ignor-
nee of photography is not confined to
scholars and students. 1t is possible
that, if further tests were instituted, a
corresponding ignorance of some of the
other "R. s" might be revealed. If the
present agitation in some quarters
against the three RS and the craze for
c~alisthenics, nature studies and other
things that would make our mothers
blush in their school days shall con-
tinue without restraint it is not unlike
ly hat we shall have a class of alb
normally developed students who can
not write, read. spell, or cipher cor

MorSan'S LafeSf Venture.

Mr.. j. Pterpont Morgan and his as
sociates have bought a controlling in
terest in a large enough steamship line
which owns siXty-fve vessels IN
ployed in the Atlantic. Mediterranean
and West Indian trade, As to the
object of this purchase there are many
conjectures, but no certainty as yet.
There is talk of a consolidation OF At
lantic lines to cut down expenses. The
guess Is made that it is the intention
of the men who control the United
States Steel company to W vessels
which shall transport its products to
European markets at less cost than
they are carried now. But probably
the correct explanation is the desire
of BritoHs to unload their searoing
property on Americans before the
threatened war with Russia and France
comes.

The Chinese REGENCY.

It is a characteristic trick of the EN-
press Dowager of China to nominate a
regency for the purpose of preventing
TIE return of the emperor to power.
Fer vindictiveness is such that if re-
forms must come she would not have
them come through the agency of her
unfortunate nephew, eve were he still
competent to direct the affairs of gov
eminent. She was done with him, as
she thought, in 1898, never intended
that he should reign again, and ar
ranged for the perpetuation of her own
rule by naming a very youthful minor
to the succession. There is no doubt
that, according to the original plan,
the emperor was to have been muir
dered, and his life has been an impen-
etrable mystery ever since. He is said
to have been shattered in mind and
body, but such is the secrecy that sur
rounds him that his very existence is
little better than a speculation. OF his
now a trace.
There is, however, a reformatory in
1uence which must affect the regents,
even though they are the dowager's ap-
pointees. and hat is the might of Rus
STA and the Allies. The most bigoted
hostilities again at this time, and,
furthermore, 1t would appear from all
the available information concerning
the board that 1t is not wholly COM

The most interesting features in this
table are the slight falling off in the
Hawaiian and part Hawaiian popula-
ton. about 3 per cent in the one case
and Z per cent in the other, and the
enormous increase in the japanese,
which amounts to 40 per cent. Though
the whites have gained 26 per cent and
the Chinese 80 per cent. the japanese
have so far outrun them both that their
increase upon the natives loses the i'm

NO CHANGE AT FRISCO.
Prospect Now Is for "a Prolonged
Struggle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 5.-The out
look for an amicable settlement of the
strike has considerably diminished, and
tonight indications are that the contest
will be a protracted one. The effor-s Of
Mayor Phelan to bring abodt an under
standing between the opposing interests
have failed, and he has been reluctantly
compelled to abandon, temporarily at
least, his position as mediator. The eX-
ecutive committee of the city front fed
ation met this morning but transact
no business of Importance pending tSe
receipt Of an expected communication
from the mayor, who was 10 have trans
milted a statement from the Employers
association. This was expected TO be in
the nature of an Iltimatum and to clear
ly define the attitude of the employers,
but was not forthcoming. This evening
the mayor sent word to the federation
that he had conferred with various mer-
chants but that the attorney of the as
sociation was out of town and he was
unable to get the employers together,
the inference being that they stood by
their former st tement and were not dis
posed to treat further with the fedora
ton The mayor considers his service s
at an end, but states that he believes the
negotiations have resulted in ing both
sides better understanding Of their re-
spective demands. He urges that the
concessl lons offered should be accepted,
and Industrial peace be restored.
The labor leaders take Il e position
that the refusal of the employers 10
treat with the unions renders a compro-
mise impossible. They have not announced
their plans for the future, but the be-
lief is general that the strike is to be
widely ex ended. Power to act has been
placed in the hands of the labor coun-
ell, which can, if so disposed cali out
fifty additional unions, which include
nearly 5000 men. Three impor ant or
ganizations. the teamsters, the bake
and electrical workers, have been al
ready ordered to hold themselves in read
ire SIS to quit work at a moments notice
A strike of the bakers would it
is said, shut off the local bread sup

leave their work all build ng would stop
and 5000 carpenters and builders would
be compelled to leave work because of
their inability to get material and sup
plies.
