 Not Been In Favor of the Innovation
 New Style in Effect About Three
 Months.
 Washington, Dec. 18. President Roosevelt will withdraw his simpliaied spelling order to the public printer and hereafter all documents from the executive departments will again be printed in the old fashioned style.
 Representative Landis of the joint congressional committee on spelling had conference with the president to-day who said that he did not wish to have spelling overshadow matters of great importance and expressed a willingness to revoke his order for the new spelling in case the house of rep resentatives should go on record as opposed to the system. Accordingly late this afternoon MT Landis intro duced the following resolution in the house:
 Resolved That it Is the sense of the house of representatives that here after in printing records, documents or other publications authorized by law ordered by congress or either branch thereof, or emanating from the execu- tive departments their branches or bureaus, and independent offices of the government, the government printing office should observe and adhere to the standard of orthography prescribed in generally accepted dictionaries of the English language"
 The measure was passed without a dissenting vote, although MT. Gillette of Massachusetts, who made a fight for simpified spelling before the house committee on appropriations and has been regarded as the champi5n of the presidents attitude, explained that he did not wish to give the impression that he had changed his mind. Mir Gillette said that he saw that the housa was overwhelmingly against the innovation and consequently he bowed  ta it's will.
 The system of reform spelling was put into effect by the president during the recess of congress and all public documents supplied to the executive departments have been printed in the simplified way. These documents have been pouring in on congress ever since the opening day, much to the dissatis- faction of a large majority of the members of the house.
 As a result the government printing office was using two forms of spelling in public printing, the old method for congress and the reform method in the executive documents. This caused con- fusion and comment unfavorable to the reform and finally was made an is- sue between the legislative and exec tive departments, the judicial depart ment having previously frowned upon the presidents order. The committee on printing in its favorable repart on the Landis resolution stated that the committee had been governed by the following considerations:

SPEED TRIAL A SUCCESS.
BATTL ESHIP KANSAS MAIN TAINS REQUIRED IS KNOTS

Official Screw Standardization Test in
 Five Runs Averages IS.123 Knots
 More Screw Revolutions Than Other
 Ships of Same CIass--New Ship One
 of Five in 16,OOO Ton Class--Twenty-
 four Hour Endurance Trial Begins
 Teddy.
 Rockland, Me, Dec. 13.-The battle ship Kansas, from the yards of the New York Shipbuilding company at Camden, N. J., more than fulfilled her contract speed requirements in her off, cial screw standardization trial to-day over the Owls Head measured mile course. Her highest speed was 1S,S knots an hour. After being sent over the course fourteen times the naval trial board ascertained that 1905 rev olutions of her screws per minute were necessary to attain the contract speed of eighteen knots an hour. In five of the runs to-day the Kansas averaged 1S.123 knots an hour, and at one time made dash at the rate of 1906 knots, This latter figure, however, was reduc- ed to 1SS by the tidal corrections.
 The number of revolutions-120.5-to a minute for the eighteen knots is the highest of the four battleships of this class which have been tried. The Lou isiana's screws had to revolve at 11S.4, the Vermont at HAS and the Minnesota at t14.5. The Connecticut has not yet been tried All five of these ships are 16,00Ot tons vessels and 16,500-horsepow- CT, and contract speed of eighteen knots an hour The difference in the screw revolutions, according to the na- val experts, is due to the pitch of the propeller shafts and the surface area of the propeller blades.
 The Kansas will start tomorrow on her four-hour run down the coast at top speed and after dropping several of the naval assistants at Boston light ship will immediately commence her third test, the twenty-four-hou endur- ance run, which will bring her well down to the Delaware Capes.
