PHONETIC SPELLING FAVORED
Principal of 81. Andrews University
Likes New idea and Announces
Gift from Carnegie.

ST ANDREWS, Scotland, Oct i2.-At
the opening Of the winter season of St.
Andrews university today the principal,
DR. James Donaldson, showed himself 10
be an ardent supporter of spelling reform.
DR. Donaldson said that he cordially ia
vored phonetic spelling, as children and
illiterates could learn through a phonetic
alphabet in quarter or a third of the
time required under the present system
and as millions OF children were learning
to read phonetic spelling II would save
millions of hours OF wasted labor and
irritating veNation. 1t would also help
greatly in governing the colonies and de-
pendences, as Il was OF the utmost inn
portance that every citizen Of the British
empire, whatever his native tongue, should
learn English The greatest obstacle to
learning English would be removed when
the words were spelled phonetically.
DIR. Donaldson, at the conclusion OF his
address, announced that Andrew Carnegie
had donated $4,000 to build an addition to
the library Of the university.

SWITCHMEN WILL NOT STRIKE
Grand Master MOrrissey of Trainmen
Discusses Report of Prob
able WaIkout.

CLEVELAND, oct. 1c.-P. H. Morrlssey.
grand master of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, in discussing today pub
lished reports from Chicago that n strike
of switchmen from the Pacific coast to
Buffalo, n. Y, was contemplated, said
In my opinion this talked of strike is
very improbable. The Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen represents a large majority
of the switchmen in Chicago st. Louis
Kansas City and other large switching
centers and these men will not recognize
a strike call from the SwitChmen's union.
The switChmen affiliated with the train
mems brotherhood know that they have
capable organization and viii attend TO
their affairs IN the same deliberate, busi-
nesslike way they have always done Tho
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen Includes
I'm its membership 10000 switchmen. / be-
lieVe the Switchmen's union has but one
fourth of that number.
Switchmen are entitled To more pay per
hour and shorter working days and / be-
leve they will get them. The Brotherhood
OF Railroad TTainmen has had this propo-
sition for more pay and shorter hours for
the switehmen under consideration for
some time, and IL is going through the
usual methodical channels.

InVestiRatiOn.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 12.--Uuly a brirt
session OF the hearing of the government
custer suit against the Terminal Railroad
association was held today and adiourn-
mcnt was taken until 10 a. IN. tomorrow TO
give counsel for the Terminal association
opportunity to prepare statement relJ-
tive 10 the early history Of the companies
that were eventually merged into the
Terminal association.
NJ. n. Watts. counsel for the terminal
agreed to fur;.sh the information to save
the time that would otherwise be consumed
in developing it through the testimony of
witnesses
The government directed its energies to-
day into an inquiry concerning the regula-
tion Of freight rates IN the Illinois coal
fields by the St. Louis Coal Traffic bureau.
Tho most important testimony was given
by John Fitzgerald, manager of the St.
Louis terminals Of the Louisville 4 Nash
Ville who admitted that the coal traffic
bureau ordered the rate cut from % cents
to Is cents ton in May, 1895 and in June
of the same year ordered the restoration
of the original rate. He testified that
rates were discussed at the meetings of the
bureau, and any changes made by the diff
ferent roads announced there.
w. c. Stith, manager of the Iron Noun
tain and Missouri Pacific systems, testified
tnat the Iron Mountain road had given the
Big Muddy Coal company rate of 80
cents from the Carterville, ILL.,, district to
st. Louis, and that it had been met by the
Illinois Central.
Earlier in the hearing William f. Burr
OF the CarterVille Coal company, testified
that the Iron Mountain made rate to the
Big Muddy company that nearly put him
out of business. When the knowledge of
this rate came to the attention of the other
roads, he said. the Iron Mountain was
called before the coal traffic bureau and
forced to restore the rate.
Henry Miller. vice president and general
manager of the Wabash and vice president
of the Missouri and Illinois Bridge and
terminal company, was questioned con-
cerning the details of the purchase of the
Alton, ILL.,, bridge. He said he thought
the transaction took place two years ago.
but he did not know the price paid and has
had nothing to do with the management
He knew that eleven proprietary lines
owned equal parts of the stock.
William Grey. general freight agent Of
the Burlington for the Missouri district
said he had no knowledge of the sale of
the Alton bridge or the freight tariffs on
coal. He said the Burlington freight
tariffs are published in Chicago but none
here.

CLASH AMONG SECRETARIES
Cabinet Omcers Unable TO Agree on
Regulations for Enforcing
Pure Food Lrw.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-Differences that
may prove serious have developed in re-
speot to the adoption of the pure food
regulations The commission, consisting of
Dr. w. II. Wiley of the Agricultural de-
partment, Dr. S. n. ID. North of tho De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor and
James J.. Gerry OF the Treasury depart
ment. formulated the proposed regulations
under which the pure food and drug act
is to be administered.
They reached a unanimous conclusion re-
Gently. after many weeks Of investigation,
discussion and consideration. AS finally
agreed upon by tho commission, the regu-
lations were in the nature Of a compromise
on many points. The commission submitted
the regulations to Secretaries Wilson. Shaw
and Metcalf by whom. before they become
effective, they have to be approved. 1t is
known that some of the regulations do not
meet the entire approval of all of the sec
retaries and it probably will be necessary
to modify them before a unanimous agree
ment is reached.
Under the regulations as they stand now
it would not be legal. for instance. to
label any brand of wine manufactured in
this country as champagne, although it
might be as pure as any wine ever manu-
factured. No American-made cheese could
bear the name Neufchatel although # is
claimed by American makers that that is
a distinctive name of a cheese made in
many places of the world. American-made
champagne would be called American wine,
champagne type, or champagne blend. The
cheese might he called cheese. Neufchatel
style.
Mr. Gerry went today TO Martinsburg.
w. Va, where he will meet Secretary Shaw
and submit the regulations to him. They
have not been approved yet by either Sec
retary Wilson or Secretary Metcalf, al
though both of these officials have exam-
ined them. 1t is not unlikely that the three
secretaries may have a meeting i'm the
near future to determine what action they
will take
