MANAGEMENT OF THE ARCHITECTS OFFICE.
AND THE MOTIVES OF THOSE WHO MAKE THEM.
The architect of the Capitol, Mr.. Clark, ex-
planned to STAR reporter last night how utter
ly absurd was the statement that the dome of
the Capitol was in danger of destruction from
the rusting of the iron frame work that supports

of the iron, where the plates are Joined together
but that it is no more than what will be noticed
In the joints of an iron vessel after cruise and
amounts to simply nothing. 1t is impossible,
he says, to get paint to stick to iron it does
to WOOD and the cold of winter and heat OF
summer will contract and expand the iron
enough for the pressure on the edges at the
Joints TO rub the paint off and cause the rust.
There IS little space left at the joints to allow
for expansion and contraction. In the summer
the heat of the sun expands the iron 10
press the edges close together, and the pressure
breaks the paint off. Then in the winter when
the joints are widest Open the dampneSS gets tat
the iron and causes Il little rust to form. The
damage done is very insignificant, and in no
way affects the stability OF the structure 1t is
a thing that can / be prevented, but is rendered
insignificant by the renewal of the paint. The

says Is in good condition. but the inside needs

The Great Falls manufacturing company of

As far back as 1853 the company managed to
get verdict of S15o.OOO against the govern

would be required to supply the projected
aqueduct That verdict was set aside by the
government. Next a board of commissioners
made several awards. each upon n separate

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, May 21.-There is no doubt that the
ministry is turning this unusually long Whit
suntide holiday to the best account i'm max ing
every effort to have definite decisions Ia present
when parliament meets Lord Rose5ery's visit
10 Berlin Is OF course of the highest importance
especially because of its unofficial character.
Ii VIII be remembered that Lord Rosebery :
relations with Mr.. Gladstone are of the most
intimate and personal kind. 1t used to be said
lors. Perhaps now he may be the agent of Eu-
ropeau peace.
TIE SCATTERED CABINET.
Lord harrington is in the north of Ireland
opening political club. Sir Charles Dixie is in
Dublin, comforting with Earl Spencer. Mr..
Errlngton Is there also, trying to carry out the
governments scheme TO play of the Catholics
against the nationalSts by securing a loyal
archbishop. Mr.. Chamberlain il i'm Paris. 1t
would be strange If the ministry did not find
grounds for decisive action. Many matters of
information are to be brought back from
all these sources. Mr.. Gladstone only rests. He
is almost ill at Hawarden.
THE NEXT PARLIAMENT
The members of parliament are busy every
where examining the local political situation
with view TO finding secure seats at the ne Nt
election. halt the present parliament will not
offer themselves again. hence the greatest curl
oSity is beginning TO be felt on all sides a. To the
character of the new house. The above fact
also explains why il has lately been so difficult
TO estimate the votes in this parliament, the
members knowing they have nothing TO risk i'm
voting as they pleased. The coming year prom
lses TO be the most interesting in England OF
any in recent times.

Why Consul Mackey Shot an Editor.

The State department has received a report
from MIR. Osborn, minister to Brazil, in regard
TO the arrest and imprisonment of Beckford
Mackey, US. consul at Rio Grande de Seul, the
son OF Mr.. 7. j. Mackey, of this city. Consul
Mackey has also written an account of his i'm
pTisonment TO friends in this city. Mr.. Mackey
says he had been assailed in a newspaper there
by man named Amorim in a most insulting
manner. On April ii he was confronted by
Amori i'm with an uplifted stick. Mackey struck
Amorim, who then drew a pistol, but before he
him slightly. Mackey then surrendered himself
10 the police. Subsequently Amorim, at the
head of u band of rufiians attempted to capture
Mackey from the police, but Mackey was de-
Tended by the German consul and a number of
citizens. His action is justified by all the for
elgn consuls there, and many leading citizens
have rendered him aid. His trial will take
place next week.
