Method of Construction Outlined by the
Bureau of Highways.
SACRAMENTO, CALL, Aug 3.-The City
Board of Trustees having applied to the
Bureau of Highways for specifications of a
model roadway, the following was SUBJ
mitted:
The roadway must be at first well
graded, so as to admit of perfect drainage.
Then it should be rolled with an eighteen
or twenty ton steam roller. After this
comes six-inch layer of broken rock, fine
enough to pass through TWO or two and a
hall inch ring. On top of that is a two
inch layer ofrock, screened to pass through
two-inch ring; then two-inch layer of
rock, the pieces of which should not ex-
coed one-half or three-quarters of an inch
in any of their dimensions.
Each layer should be thoroughly rolled
and watered when put down. The top
layer should be rolled and watered more
than the rest. This two-inch layer after it
is rolled and watered is driven into the
lower layer, so that it loses an inch in
thickness. No roller lighter than eighteen
or twenty tons should be used. and it
should be reversible 50 that it may be
operated backward as we'll as forward. A
tirst-class roller will cost $4,000

Mr.. Whitney and the Presi-
dency.

Mr.. VIM. c. Whitney, formerly
Secretary of the Navy, says he is
not a candidate for the Presiden-
cy, but proposes to take an active
part in the selection of the next
Democratic nominee. 1t is quite
probable, however, that he will
not refuse to lead the Democracy
if he receives call from the par
ty through the national conven-
ton next year. There are already
indications that the nomination of
Mr.. Whitney will be urged, be-
cause thousands of Democrats re-
gard him as the strongest man
they could nominate, and one who
by his powers of organization and
personal popularity with the fac
tions in New York would encou.
rage Democrats in all sections OF
the country and cause them to
put forth their best efforts. When
questioned as to the reports re-
garding the movement looking to
the denomination of President
Cleveland Mr.. Whitney remarked
that aside from the propriety and
feasibility of third term the Pre-
sident was stronger today with his
party than he ever was, but did
not believe that anything short OF
an unanimous call would induce
him to again be a candidate. II
is doubtful, however, if Mr.. Cleve'
land even then would permit hi
name to 60 before the nationa
convention, because recently Sc
veral of his personal friends have
stated that he wishes to retire
from public life at the end of hi
present term and at the prope
time will state in a letter or in
terview that he will not accept {
nomination under any circumstan
ces.-States.

not to leave had a good effect as a

noise in the green foliage that
