Grinding Out Its Work.

The Constitutional Convention Slowly
Grinding Out Its Work.
OLYMPIA, W. T., July I5.-The report
af the Judiciary com mittee was not made
in the constitutional convention today as
expected. II is understood, however, that
1t will recommend three or
five judges on the supreme bench
and eighteen district judges of probate.
Among the propositions introduced was
one that no armed body of men shall be
brought into the state for any purpose
whatever. This is aimed at the detective
and police agencies. A long discussion
took place over the resolution of Satur-
day asking for information in regard to
the tide land question. 1t
was finally defeated, which indicates a
feeling in favor of selling tide lands.
The judiciary committee reported
in favor of submitting at
the same time separate proposition
for amendments 10 the constitution. The
committee on legislation has almost
completed their report. 1t is
decidedly adverse to the minority
representation scheme and recon meuds
that the house be twice the size of the
senate. The latter to contain fifty mem.
bers.

arate from tne.White House.

commissioner OF public buildings and
grounds, in his annual report to the chief
of engineers, recommends that an office
building he erected for the use of the

tory nov stands. The latter,
he says, might well be
built on the ground east of the white
house and between it and the treasury
building. IL is believed that the time
has come when the chief magistrate of
the country should no longer be Obliged
to have his private residence and
office unde- the same roof. The sugges-
tion is made that the conservatory u
be erected might be connected
with the white house by picture
gallery opening out of the east room and
containing portraits of all the presidents
of the United States and of the ladies
who have assisted them in the social
duties devolving upon presidents. These
ideas are submitted with the hope that
congress will take the initiative. 1t IA

Notwithstanding many adverse circum-
stances, this little country Is progressing
wonderfully, under the leadership of Mr..
Tricoupis, the present prime minister.
The building of railways of narrow
gauge is going on with feverish activity,

foreign capitalists by guaranteeing a
minimum rate of interest on the invest
msnt. This adds, of course, additional
burdens to the budget, but the country

development of its resources. Greece il
as yet an uneIplored country, apc many
foreign capitalists made large fortunes
in the last fifteen years by iudicious in
vestments. The first railway in Greece,
bet seen Athens and Piraus, six miles
long, va. built by an English company.
They sold it eventually to French com
psny with 100 per cent. profit, and the
la.ter, after working II for few years.

company, which ia the present owner. Its
