The heart Of the business district
witnessed terrible struggles all day
yesterday. >~st<&E.. !
Guests at the Palmer house were re.
galed with fierce riot at their door
and at all points the angry conflict
went forward, the first skirmish of the
Transfers strike, which is destined to
be the worst labor struggle in the his
tory of Chicago. '-.' s':&."
Chicago now faces new peril-that
of having to- walk. Owing to the
strike of all coal teamsters, the trac-
ton companies are unable to secure
coal to operate their plants. At the
utmost there is but three days supply
of coal and then the cars must stop
In addition, the strike leaders are
bending every effort to spread the
strike to all the smaller concerns.
This, if successful, will shut off the
food supplies of the residents.
Early yesterday the federal govern
ment stepped into the strife and is
sued an injunction against the strikers
interfering with traffic.
Orders have been issued by COM
manders of regiments of state troops to
their men to hold themselves in readi-
ness for Immediate call.
Express companies are bringing in
from western points all their old, tried
''pony riders" and mounted men with
rifles on their wagons.
Mayor Dunno who has been in con-
ference with Governor Deneen at
Springfield, fastened home last night
and reiterated his statement that he
would preserve order to protect life
and property at all costs.
All the department stores have mott
fed their patrons that no deliveries
will be attempted for some time.
The great aim of the strike leaders
now is to embroil the railway unions.
Extraordinary efforts are being put
forth to this end, in which event other
cities will begin to feel the strike.

i Anew, system,

A new system OF accounting in the
several state Offices, which it is be-
lieved will reduce to the minimum
mistakes and discrcp ancies in the dis
oursement OF state funds, has just been
put into effect in accordance with a
law passed by the recent legislature.
Under the new system, the head of
each department is required TO prepare
an abstraction triplicate, showing each
item Of Expenditure, the person to
whom 1t is payable, the amount aud
the fund. One copy of the abstract 10
sent TO the state auditor, one to the
state treasurer, and the third is kept
by the head of the department.
The state auditor, under the new
system, will issue his warrant covering
the entire abstract, aud the treasurer
issues his check for each separate item.
This is practically the same system as
is provided in the law relieving the
state board Of control Of the care of
the. state university and normal
schools.

Office But no Salary.

Although the bill creating state
FIRE marshal passed the Legislature,
some question whether provision has
been made for the payment of the
,narshars salary and expenses for the
first year.
The law says that a tax is to be
levied to meet such expenses of one
fourth of one per cent on all fire insur-
ance premiums payable ''on or before
the first of April in each year" Ac-
cordingly, there will be no income
from the new tax till next April 1t is
an open question whether any other
the old laws, can be used to pay the
new state fire marshal.

On the other hand, from all points of

method, are the best means of utiliz-
ing the milk, and to the advantage of

4Y CORNERSTONE TODAY

The second day Of the session of the
Presbyterian Synod Of Virginia proved
Ito be of much interest. A large assembly
lof delegates gathered : at the three ses-
! sions, and many important questions
were raised and discussed, during the
day. Eloquent sermons, were preached,
especially the one on home missions by
DR.. Morris. DR.. Morris is a. man OF
charming personality, Of deep earnestness
ana of a wide and4vared experience in
his especial field. He preached again
at night, and it was In this second SER
mon that he most deeply touched his
hearers with his pathetic appeal for aid
in mission work and his pitiful repre-
sonthtions of the dire need for the. teach
ing of the gospel in which SO many mil
lions of heathens stand.
The day might be regarded as one OF
mission talk. The cause was most power
fully represented by DR.. S. L. Morris.
z of the home field, and by Rev. J.. o..
Reavls, of the foreign field. These two
men, in their eloquent appeals, ranged
through all the gamut OF world suffer-
ing and woe as depicted in fields yet un-
redeemed by the teachings of the Christ,
and not once failed to touch upon all
the chords of human sympathy for their
devoted desires. No one could have heard
then, and gone unmoved, for the pathos
of the pagan's elementary needs as pic-
tured by them, his utter lack of Chris
tian faith and the consequent misery and
suffering that ensues on his ignorance
were so graphically told that the hardest
heart must have been touched.
To Missions Entirely.
The night services In the Grace Street
Church were devoted to the subject of
missions entirely, and as It was one Of
the chief points Of discussion In the
morning assemblage, It might be said to
have been the chief point in the whole
days programme. No side was left un-
touched. The speakers dwelt upon 1t
from all viewpoints. But 1t was not
money they asked: IT was the united
prayer Of the whole church, and this
was made the especial subject OF appeal.
And 1t was not the prayers of the pas
tors and delegates that was made the
particular point OF plcading;it It was OF the
