The Carnegie foundation Is to submit the medical colleges of the continent and England to the same rigid Investigation that it did the schools of the United States, Canada and Newfoundland.

He will take a year or more and his investigations will be as thorough as his work In this country. At tho headquarters of the Foundation, No. 676 Fifth avenue, today.

Secretary Bowman said that the purpose of the foreign Investigation would be as it was in this country, sololy in the aid of the advancement of education.

Just what PROVINCIAL SYNOD WILL RETAIN ELECTORAL RIGHT Important Decision as to Election of Bishop of Rupert's Land Reached by Diocesan Synod Indian Missions Discussed at This Morning's Session. This morning the synod of the diocese of Rupert's Land was mainly occupied with a discussion on the Indian missions of the church nnd especially with the matter of the Klkhorn Industrial school, i A committee was appointed consisting of His Grace, Archdeacon Fortin, Ciuinii Murray, Rural Dean Cowley and Chancellor Machray to make full enquiry and report regarding the maintenance of the Industrial school. They submitted the following recommendations The taking over of the Elkhorn Indian Industrial school by the church on the following conditions: 1.

That the date of taking It over be March, 1911. 2. That when the school Is handed over there should not be less than 90 pupils. 3. That the buildings be handed SERIOUS CHARGES LAID BEFORE THE CONTROLLERS Alderman Adams Alleges That Some City Contractors Dc liver Inferior Goods and Charge Original Contract Prices Officials Make Statement That goods alleged to be inferior to specification are being substituted In an Important city contract was brought to light by Alderman Adams this morning.

Tho contract In question is for letter-heads. It was let last month to Henderson Kros. for two years. The amount of money involved In the contract cannot bo stated exactly, as it Is mado out on unit basis, but It is likely to reach some 120,000. Aid.

Adams pointed out to the board of control that In tendering Henderson Bros, had quoted on the very best paper obtainable, whereas they were using an inferior quality. lie said it wus not only unfair dealing to the city, but It was unfair to the other tenderers who hud submitted bona fide figures for the best quality paper. Aid. Adams stated that this was not the first time this had been done. He understood that on previous occasions the same firm had tendered lower than others on tho best quality paper, secured the contract and then supplied an Inferior quality.

Aid. Potter was In favor of Immediately returning all the paper supplied and calling for tenders afresh. The board Instructed City Clerk Brown to look Into the matter Immediately. TRIBUNE It's pretty neur tlmo Col. Roosevelt got in communication with the wireless.

If the F. P. showed even 23 per cent, of the Interest over the Government ownership of terminal elevators that It displays in the Roblln Government policy of public-owned Internal elevators It would he given credit for more sincerity. The greatest enemies of freer trade relations between Canada und other countries are organs like the Free Press and Globe that preach a measure of tariff reduction and support hide-bound protectionist politicians. A man down In New York thinks ho is the rightful heir to the throne of England.

Two or three mon at Selkirk have the same notion. Looks almost ns though the political campaign was going to be carried on like the last civic election. Scarcely meeting of big Interest has been called up to date. If you haven't registered, don't kick when you find that you're disfranchised and In the petticoat class. Canada elects the same premier, election after election.

What's the matter with having a good governor like Earl Grey for ten or twelve years? ii discoveries will be made on examination of the bins and books It Is hard to say. Unfortunately It may be difficult to trace the illegal business back lor any considerable time, but there ure men hero who know a great deal and will have to tell a great deal later on. The outcome of the enquiry wlll pos-sibly result In tho Dominion government taking over the elevators. At present Americana are very largely interested, one of the chief men expressed a contempt for slow-going Canadian methods, but the Canadiiius aro proving themselves not so slow after all. over in good rcpntr, tho laundry and the drainage system having been thoroughly put in order.

The ilrst building was opened In 1888, and two more buildings were erected In 1888. The next four years, 1889-18H2, were dark and trying ones as subscriptions dwindled and the work had to ha curtailed. In Jonusry, 1892, with the conBent (Continued on Pago Two.) Mr. Brown pointed out that he never saw the paper complained of as It waa sent diroct to tho city engineer's office. The mode of procedure is as follows: When any department requires supplies it obtains an order from tlio board of control.

TliJs order has to be signed by the city clerk and Is then handed to the printers, who deliver the goods direct to the department requiring tho same. Onlv In the event of a dispute between the department and the printers does tho city clerk step In, and his decision Is then final. No complaint having come from the city engineer's office, tho Inferiority of tho paper hud never come before Mr. Brown's notice. Another case In which liiferlc work has It is said been done for tho city under a false name, is that of the printing of the ofTlcUil mourning paper.

E. r. Rugg were Instructed to snp-plv engraved letter heads. Insteud of this they supplied printed heads and sent In bills for engraving. These bills are being held up by City Clerk Brown on three grounds.

First, that tho work done Is not as ordered: secondly, that It Is not the work charged for; thirdly, that even If It were the work ordered and charged for, the price would be excessive.
