Chicago, Sept. 18 Members of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday reopened . the old Peavey
elevator dispute between the various
lawyers representing the parties to
the suit relative to a supposed agree
ment for a continuance.
The dispute ended abruptly after
President A. B. Stlckuey of the Chi
cago Oreat . Western Railroad de
clared that he most vigorously pro
tested against any further delay in
the hearing. President Stickney la
one of the petitioners for the re
opening of the case, which involves
the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
the Peavey Elevator 1 Company and
the Trans-Mississippi Elevator Com
pany. One of the chief allegations
in the case is that the railroad com
pany granted rebates to the Peavey
Elevator Company and gave it a mo
nopoly of the grain along the line.
Besides the Chicago Great Western
Railroad the petitioners are the Chi
cago, Burlington & Qulncy and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
roads. The rebating is said to have
been done at Omaha and Kansas
City.
LAW IS AGAINST NEW SPELLING
Statute of Congress Fixes Webster's
Dictionary as Standard.
Washington, Sept. 18. It was an
awful jolt on the President's spelling
reform order ( when some reckless
lawyer of Washington dug up an old
statute of Congress fixing Webster's
dictionary as the standard and au
thority for spelling in all public doc
uments. Webster lived before the
day of Carnegie and followed the
good old orthodox method of spell
ing. Doubtless Congress overstepped
its constitutional' authority when 1
undertook to fix a standard. The
question Is, What will the Superin
tendent of Public Printing do? Will
he obey the law of Congress or yield
to the Instructions ot the President?

GRAND DUKES PANIC-STRICKEN
BY SCDDEN DEATH OF
TREPOFF.
Fear of Assassination Is Everywhere;
New Attempts of Terrorists, Who
Cluiin They Killed Trepoff.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 18. The
Grand Dukes are in a panic. The
death of General Trepoff, which is
now generally believed to have been
due to poison, has put the entire
royal family In such a state of alarm
that the members of it are literally
falling over each other getting out
of this city. The Grand Dukes left
at midnight last night for the west
and more are preparing to go. Meet
of them will se .tie down in Paris for
a time at least.
Nor is the panic confined by any
means to the royal family. Dozens
of the reactionary clique in the pal
ace at Peteroff are packing up for
trips abroad. They are evidently pre
pared for a long exile, as they are
putting their estates In the hands of
permanent agents and are sending
their valuables ahead of them.
The feeling of terror was added
to when revolutionists tried in War
saw to assassinate General Dorsze
iwski, president of the courtmartial
board. There was but one shot fired,
but the bullet struck the general in
the thigh. His wound is serious
but not necessarily fatal. The would
be assassin escaped.
Trepoff was recognized as the
strong man of Russia and even his
enemies respected his courage and
iron will. Now that he is gone there,
eeems to be no one in the empire to
fill his plaee. There is a consequent
feeling of helplessness on the part
of the court clique.
The Terrorists are declaring that
they will be ready in a few days
to start a new series of assassinations
and that some ot the most prominent
men ot the empire will be among the
first victims. They are boasting,
too, ot the way in which Trepoff was
disposed of. They ridicule the
statement of the attending physicians
that the General died a natural
death.
London, Sept. 18. On receipt of
telegram to the effect that 200 Jews

therefore likely to condemn them in
order to justify the massacre. The
committee of British Jews today is
sued a strong appeal to civilized na
tions "to prevent such a crime
against civilization."

body was found this morning with
the burned limb by his side.
