RUN TRAINS BY PHONE
Burlington Railroad Is Ready to Sub
stitute Hello Machine for the
TELEGRAPH Instrument.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-As rapidly as the
change can be brought about the man.
agement of the Burlington has decided
to substitute the telephone for the tel
egraph in dispatching and operating
both passenger and freight trains. This
announcement vas made yesterday aft
er comprehensive trials of the tele-
phone had been made on various por-
lions of the company's lines for sew
eral years.
The management stated that these
trials had proven eminently satisfac-
tory n that under the system in
vogue there had not been recorded a
mission and receipt of train orders. In
the opinion OF Burlington officials this
removes the main objection hitherto
made to the use of the telephone for
train operation. the objection Of liza
hility to mistake in transmission of or
ders.
Tests Along Lines.
The main tests ave been made on
the engine division between Savanna
and Galesburg. a distance of 100 miles,
where freight traffic is exceedingly
heavy, passenger traffic light and
where the telephone has been used ex-
clusively for o two years. For a
like period the telephone has been in
exclusive use between Chicago and
-NNA " VI lll1lly Tx
where both passenger and freight traf-
fic is very dense.
Between Hannibal and st. Louis, a
distance of about 120 miles, where both
freight and passenger traffic is heavy,
the telephone has beer used for some
time as an auxiliary to the telegraph
wires, the former being used in the
operation of the block system and the
latter in dispatching the trains.
In Exclusive Use.
On the line between Alliance and
Billings, n distance Of AZ miles, the
telephone has been in exclusive use for
about three years. Between Chicago
n Burlington all he connections
have been made which are necessary to
an exclusive use OF the telephone,
whilst west of there division head
quarters have been connected up with
Burlington.
The advantages of the telephone as
stated by the management are that it
greatly enlarges the choice of men for
the operating service. Thousands of
good men can talk i~ntelligently over
the phone, where comparatively few
can use the Morse code; it lessons the
possibility of a strike and in the event
of a strike makes it much easier to
fill the positions. Complete records of
all orders, are, of course, kept. From
the amount of telephone installations
being made on railway systems there
is little doubt that the example of the
Burlington will IN the be followed by
all lines.

GATHER IN BOSTON.
E%piscopalians Triennal General Con-
vcntion October S to 20.

v%cntion October S to &c.
Boston, Sept. 27.-A plumber OF bish-
ops from abroad who will participate
actively in the proceedings in the tri-
ennial general convention Of the Epis-
copal church in this city October 5 to
26, have arrived in the United States.
The greater number, however, will at
tend the national convention of the
brotherhood of st. Andrew in Phila-
delphia later this month before coming
to Boston.
Among the important topic of bust
ness to be considered by the house Of
deputies is the report of the commits
sion. appointed three years ago to con-
slider changing the legal name of the
church, Protestant Episcopal" and to
ask the opinion of the dloceses. The
commission in a report made public
last spring decided against changing at
this time. The agita-i for a more
explicit and s%trictcr canon on the pro-
hibition of marriage of divorced per-
sons except for one cause will also be
discussed at length and the advisable
ity of grouping the dioceses of the
country into provinces. with a primate
or senior bishop at the head of each
province will also be considered. 1t is
proposed to have a board of review
where appeals from the diocesan
courts may be heard The question Of
meeting the situation in the insular
possessions, and other issues, will also
be taken up.

SAY DARWIN WAS R
His Entire Theory of the Origin OF
Species is Brought Under
Attack bv Scientists.

st. Louis, Sept. 4.-Great interest has
been aroused in the International Con-
gress of Arts and Science b. the theory
advanced by Professor Hugo de Vries,
professor Of botany in the University of
Amsterdam, Holland, who, combating in
the open Darwin's theory Of the origin OF
species, advanced a theory of his own in
diametrical opposition to all ideas of for
mer and present biologists and phylogen-
lists. Professor de Vries asserts that no
two of the same species of animal, from
the lowest stages to man, are alike in any
important particular. Through heredity
he claims that the distinguishing feature
or element Of an individual is not trans
mitted to the offspring of that Individual,
which in the theory of Darwin represents
the main principle, and who claims that
by heredity. passing from generation to
generation. the peculiarlties of the primo
genitor finally result in a new species.
Professor de Nries denies this and Of
fered proof before the scientists that an
entire new species may be developed with
in one or two generations. The deeply
scientific points advanced by Professor
de Vries has aroused the defenders of
Darwin!sm by biologists to immediate in
terest and precipitated general discussion
among the scientists in attendance upon
the congress.
Skyscrapers Are Doomed.
Skyscraping buildings are doomed, &C
cording to the prophecy of Professor Louis
Wuarin of the University of Geneva, who
delivered an address OH THE Future City"
in the urban community sectional meeting
at today's session Of the International
Congress of Arts and Science. Professor
Wuarin maintained shat the individual
should be subservient to the community,
and declared that from a sanitary consid-
GRAFTON high buildings were detrimental to
public health and would, therefore,, ulti-
mately disappear from the topography Of
the future city. He asserted that although
property value would be curtailed the in
crease in the value of property on the out
skirts OF cities would compensate for other
restrictions.

of Berlin spoke on The Relation of the

This is now a subject of extended re-
search and observation among cosmical
scientists.

INJUNCTION REFUSED.
New York Supreme Court Declines to
Interfere With Racing at the

New York, Sept. 26-Supreme Court JUS
tice MacLean refused an application for
an injunction to restrain the Brooklyn
Jockey club from; running races at Grave
send track, on the ground that there was
nothing in the papers to show that a
crime is about to be committed, and on a
statement that. in his. opinion. the court
had no power to grant such an Injunction.
The ruling was made after the court had
examined the affidavit and other papers
in the application made to it by two law
yers, who asserted that gambling and pool
selling was permitted by the jockey club
at Gravesend, and that as such gambling
would be permitted until the close of tho
meeting October 3, they believed the court
could issue an Injunction against the club.

F~airhaven, Mass. Sept. 2i.-0liss *. I.
Harris. private secretary to Henry H..
Rogers of The Standard Oil company, said
to be the highest paid person in that posi-
ton in the world, has arrived here and her
coming is taken as an indication that a
protracted illness of the millionaire is ex-
pected. The steam yacht Kanawha, which
left New York, is expected 10 return with
Mr.. Rogers family physician. Everything
indicates that Mr.. Rogers condition is
more critical than has been given out.
AT the present time there are no guests
at the Rogers mansion, an almost unprece-
dented thing. Even Miss Harrison is
stopping at a hotel.

Knoxville, Tenn. Sept. 27.-Running
ton a roadbed in a supposedly high con-
!dition of maintenance. n having
about them every safeguard known to
a modern railroad. two trains on the
Southern railway carrying heavy lists
tof passengers came together in Il fright
'ful head-on collision near Hodges.
Tenn, sending 60 persons to death and
dnjuring 800. several of whom will prob
labiy die.
This appalling loss of life and MAIN
'fng of the living resulted apparently
from the disregarding of orders given
fto the W trains to meet at a station
which for n long time had been their
,regular meeting point, This action on
the part of the engineer of the west
bound train is made more ineXplicable
by the fact that the accident happened
in broad daylight, and according to the
best information obtainable he had the
order in a little fraIne in front of him
as his monster of iron and steel rushed
by the station and a mile and a half
further on came apo an ~eastbound
passenger train. The possibility exists
that the Inflated engineer may nave

10 HOLD SPECIAL MEETINe.
Fire Commissioners to Consider Mo

Fire Commissioners to Consider Nov
ing Of No. rs Engine House
The fire commissioners will hold a
special meeting next Tuesday evening
for the purpose of acting on the NOV
ing of the Artizan street engine house.
1T is thought that BY this time an ar
rangement will be made with the rail-
road company. The house is to be
turned so that the entrance will be on
the junction Of st. John and Artizan
streets instead Of on African street.
When the house is turned the railroad
company will have all the room they
need to enlarge their cut. The fire
commissioners are endeavoring to get
the railroad company to turn the house
for them and also provide temporary
quarters for the men and apparatus
while the work is being done.
