elusive. as it will be necessary to employ
considerable time IN that month in the prepara-
ton of final report of the affairs OF the ONCE

assumption Of the duties of the Office by my
successor.
1t was first understood that the resignation

prominent democrats, among them Senator
Mitchell. had the desired effect, and the one
months leave with pay was granted.

Strike Of the Serving Men In Many New
York Hotels.
NEW YORK, April 29.-War to the knife has
been declared between the hotel proprietors
and walters. The hotel proprietors have deter
mined also to wage war against the walters,
and are bitter in their denunciation of their
action in striking just at the critical moment
and without warning after assuring them that
they were perfectly satisfied.
On the other hand the striking winters say
that their grievances were such that they could
not further put mp with them.
At q number Of the leading hotels this morn
ing there was much difficulty experienced in
serving their guests, while the latter growled
impatiently at the long delay they were sub
jected to.
The walters at the Buckingham Hotel were
reported to be on strike. Strikes are expected
today at the Continental, the Hotel Savoy, the
restaurant at the Hotel Endicott, the Cosmo-
politan and the downtown restaurants Of
Delmonico.
The international Hotel and Restaurant EN-
ployes' Association today applied to Super
intendent Byrnes for q permit for parade on
Monday, in which 1000 walters are expected
to take part
Concessions have been made to the walters
in the following hotels: The Grosvenor, Fifth
Avenue. San Reno, Nevada, Langham, Logo
root and St Denis.

4 Rrepositiop 10 Consolidsts Largo Property
Interests North Of the CITY.

a RrspositioD 10 Copsolidsts Largo Property
Intsrsses North Of the CITY.
A scheme ID being discussed which. II carried
out will result In the formation Of . great syn
dictate with the object in visw Of improv-
ing An extensive snd important tract OF
suburban land adjoining the borders Of the
city. II ID proposed that the owners Of the
various tracts Of land between Connecticut and
Massachusetts, avenues extended and from the
bounds Of the city to the Klingle and woodley
roads should form . syndicate or combination
Of their interests for the purpose Of making
extensive improvements Of this property and
placing il at once on the market as available
building sites.
MILLIONS TO BE REPRESENTED.
A syndicate Of this character will represent
millions, and it is the idea that millions be
spent in making improvements The policy
to be pur sued is to be a liberal one, and every
thing will be done in the line Of
making roads, building sewers laying side
walks that is usually left to the municipal
authorities. The plan of the projectors Of THIS
enterprise il to go right ahead. and when
an Improvement is needed to carry it out with
out waiting for the slow process Of legislative
and municipal action. No definite conclusion
has as yet been reached by the various property
holders as to whether they will go into such an
uEutrtahlnS- larSo proportion CT TIE prop
erty in the section indicated is held by two or
three interests.
LARaE LAND OWNERS.
The largest owner is perhaps the Sharon estate,
which is represented by Francis G. Newlands
In addition Mr.. Newlands owns individu ally
several large tracts Of land. The Sharon hold
ings are mainly along the line of Connecticut
avenue extended, while Mr. Newlands owns
a good deal Of real estate on the Wood
ley road. He 10 the owner Of the country
place which has been leased by the
President Mr.. John W. Thompson
is probably the next largest owner Of land in
this city, as he holds the controlling inter-
est in the syndicate which several
years ago bought all the land along
Massachusetts avenue extended from
Rock creek to the Tenleytown road.
Woodley Park il owned by Ir. Thomas
E. Waggaman, and, besides, Mr. Waggsman is
interested in other tracts in this locality.
These are the three large interests,
and there are of course number
OF other property owners who hold
title to tracts Of land of varying size Thus
far no very definite steps have been taken
toward carrying out the syndicate
idea 1t has been discussed and any number
of the property owners have been approached,
but the affair has not as yet taken such shape
that it can definitely be said that the scheme
will ever materialize. Some of the large own
ers are said to be in favor Of forming such a
combination. while others, it is said, have not
yet given their assent.

The Crenaation Of Garbage.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The cremation Of garbage, Like many other
things, 10 al right, and is most excellent and
practical IL properly done. II not properly
done it becomes . nuisance to the neighbour
hood and quite a. much Of Q nuisance - il
allowed to ferment in neglected back yards and
alleys
The cremation should take placs with . hot
fire. II, however, there 10 much moisture, - in
the rind Of q watermelon, in the material to
be cremated, 1t 10 we'll TO evaporate IL some
what beforehand, say In the oven, or, - was
recently suggested in TIE SrAl, on top Of the
oven, beyond the fire.
But from the odors at times In the atmos-
phere it Is quite evident that too many persons
in attempting this process are too economical
with their fire. They wait until the fire 10 quite
low, then they dump in . mass Of the leavings
from the table, perhaps containing Is per cent
or more Of water. This smolderS and does not
burn.
The result Il that the odor developed by the
incomplete combustion diffuses itself through
the atmosphere Of the nsighborhood with .
most sicksnipg eject.
So the cremation Of the lesvingy Of the table,
call it garbage or not. = We win, comes under
the head Of good or evil, according to the
method Of combustion.
With too much economy In the IRE and too
much csreiesspess - % method. II becomes .
nuisance, while, II properly done with . good
hot FIRE, it il most beneficial in IL results.

is also endeavoring to get q harbor capable Of
holding all the boats which may come. This
harbor will be located north Of Lincoln
Park, of the pleasantest residence section Of
the town. The yachtsmen Of the town are so
much in earnest in their desire to suitably en-
terrain their visitors who come in their own
boats that it is proposed to publish handsome
weekly paper called Yachting and Boating.
A pnrse is now being made up among the
wealthy yachtsmen here to defray the expenses
Of the publication. It is supposed the
paper will only be published from the
latter part Of May until the latter
part Of October, which will include the entire
yachting season. 1t is not expected that the
paper will pay, but it may be a big boom to the
Yachting interests of Chicago in the seasons
following the worlds fair.
From the present outlook there will be hun
dreds of yachts from the seaboard come up
either the Erie canal or the st. Law

board their owners families and friends. The

as it will have next midsummer, with hundreds
