Secretary Langley of the Smithsonian
Institution stated to a Star reporter this
afternoon that the account published In a
New York newspaper today to the effect
that his aeroplane is completed was not
authorized by him and he had no knowl-
edge of the same until II was called to his
attention by the reporter. Secretary Lang
ley does not anticipate that the expert
ments he has been conducting will be COM
pleted In a week or a month, and. he
added, 1t may be many years before his
machine will hy. He is not prepared at
the present time to take the public into
his confidence so far as the aeroplane 10
concerned. but will do 20 when the inven-
ton 10 perfected.

"ADMIRADLE CABLE SERVICE"
The Superiority of the AssOciat ted
Press Again Shown.

MONTREAL, December 1.-THE admir-
able cable service furnished by the Associ-
ated Press on the death of Sir John
Thompson at Windsor Castle caused much
favorable comment here. The Herald, re-
ferring to the subject, says editorially:
1.-THE Associated Press, the great organi-
zation which furnishes the Herald with it's
news, supplied service the death of
Sir John Thompson which bore excellent
testimony to its unparalleled facilities for
collecting news. The Canadian people are
under deep obligations to this association,
for it supplied the only complete and salts
fectory report of the sad occurrence. 1t
might have contented itself with mere
formal record of the event. for the vast
bulk of it's business is done with American
newspapers, to whom Sir John Thompson
was but name. but it considered itself
obligated to supply its Canadian members
with service which would be absolutely
satisfactory and it did so. In an incredibly
short space of time after the death at
Windsor bulletin announcing IL reacned
the Herald Office, and an hour later full
report began to come in. The extent and
CostlinesS of this service can only be ap
preciated by those who are In the habit OF
using the cable. The United Press never
had its weakness as a competitor to the
Associated Press SO clearly revealed TO the
Canadian newspapers. The two organiza-
bre ath.'
TORONTO, Ont, December 14.-Natural-
ly, durin. the past few days there has been
but one topic of interest to Canada-the
death of Sir John Thompson. its premier.
The earliest and best news regarding this
event of national Importance has been the
one great aim of the larger Canadian Jour-
nails, and in this struggle those journals
served by the Associated Press far out
stripped their competitors. Their reports
have called forth praise from all quarters,
rot only in Toronto, but in Montreal, st.
John, n. b.; Halifax and from all points
in Canada to which the service extends.
An instance of how the Associated Press
service was appreciated occurred In their
Toronto Office, where at midnight Wedna0-
day night the Toronto World "a United
Press paper applied for and secured the
full and splendid report furnished regard
lished it with full credit to the Associated
Press and to the exclusion Of the meager
and disconnected story furnished by the
rival association.
In speaking regarding this great beat Of
the Associated Press. the Toronto Daily
Empire says editorially: THE Canadian
patrons of the Associated Press have un-
the service rendered in connection with the
death of Sir John Thompson. Not only
were the reports full and graphic. but the
copy was furnished early in the evening,
which Is a great consideration"
The Daily Mail says: THE sorrowful
story of the death Of Sir John Thompson
In Windsor Castle on Wednesday was for
over the wires of the Canadian Pacific Tel
egraph Company. The account Of the sad
affair was very complete in all its details
and was admirably handled"

A NEW PRINTING OFFICE.
A Joint Meeting Of subcommittee ON
the Subject.

The joint meeting of the subcommittee
of the House and Senate committees on
public buildings and grounds was held this
morning to discuss the status OF the bill
for a new public printing Office. The mat
ter was discussed and the various PROPOSE
tions before Congress referred to. but the
committee adjourned without action.
If the selection of a site and reporting Of
a bill depended entirely upon the two COM
mittees an agreement could be reached in
five minutes, but the trouble lies in the
fact that the friends of Gen. Malone are
determined that no other site except the
Malone site shall be selected and this does
not meet with the approval Of either COM
mittee. The House has absolutely refused
also to even consider the Malone site.
Another meeting of the committee will
be held next week, at which the matter
will again be discussed.

THE CITY POST OFFICE
A Letter Asking the Cause of the Decay
in the Work.
Chairman Snycrs Says the Govern
cause the Building is Unfinished.

TT is costing the government over SlO0,-
600 year by reason of the delay in con-
pleting the Washington city post office,
said Chairman Sayers of the House COM
mittee on appropriations to a Star reporter
today land I think the matter should be
locked into"
1t might be observed at this point that
tie contractors have consumed nearly
three years, and have not finished the
srperstructure to he second story yet:
that al this rate it will require nine more
years to finish the superstructure, another
year for the roof and another for the in
terror, making fourteen years in all to put
up this building, and causing the govern
ment a loss of 81 ,4OO, 900, in addition to the
cost of the structure.
THE government is paying s1S5.OOO year
rent for outlying offices in this city," con-
tinued Chairman SayeIs. 'When the COM
mittee on appropriations made provision for
the new city post office they intended to
use portion of 1T for the accommodation
of the offices for which rent is now paid.
We estimate that we can save at least
s1c0.ocO year in rent by using this build
ing. OF course, therefore, every days de-
lay in getting into the building means just
that much more unnecessary expense for
the government"
Letter of Inquiry.
Chairman Sayers today addressed letter
to the Secretary of the Treasury calling
upon him to furnish the appropriation COM
mittee full information concerning the con-
struction Of the city post office. The an
Swer is expected to throw some light upon
the causes of delay in the progress of the
work 1t Is to include a statement of the
terms of the contract and the time of it's
expiration.
Chairman Bankhead Of the committee on
public buildings and grounds is also very
much interested in this subject. Il think
II is very remarkable, to say the least,
that so much time should be consumed in
the construction of this building 1t is an
imposition upon the government that we
should be compelled to continue to pay rent
Tor offices when We have appropriated
money to put UP a building to accommo-
date our Offices
1t is understood that the committee on
appropriations viii give the matter close
attention with the object of Fastening work
upon the building.
