A special to the Chicago Post from
Washington says, a closely guarded
secret of the State Department, has
just transpired. 1t appears that two
years ago when the United States was
in need of gold, Gar Alexander III
offered to make a personal loan to the
United States of $50, 00O,0 900 or more,
at merely a nominal rate of interest,
without other security than President
Cleyeland's personal note. The mat
ter was discussed in the cabinet at
great length, but it was decided that
the President had no authority to is
sue bonds until further action of Con-
gress and he was therefore obliged to
obliged to decline the friendly tender.
This leads to a suggestion that when
the present arrangement for maintains
the gold reserve expires the govern
ment may turn to Russia for gold
as Car Nicholas is known to be quite
as ardent an admirer Of the United
States as his father was.

Davemport's Enlarged Government Build
ing.

government
ing.
The plans for the enlargement of
Davenport's government building
have been agreed upon. The exterior
appearance of the building will be
considerably improved by the changes
that are planned. AS is generally
known, the change includes the rails
ing of the building to an all-over 9
story structure. In planning this
change exteriorally, the building has
been considerably EN- bellished by the
addition of gable at the rear OF the
side elevations, both north and south.
Two gables are also inserted on the
west side, and afford additional
lighting facilities for the attic. On
the interior of the building, the plans
for the first floor have been changed
only to the extent of allowing a sep
arate room to the registered letter
and money order departments. The
second floor plans, however, provide
for eight Office rooms instead of the
five shown in the old plans. and a
nice square hall lighted by skylight
instead of the narrow hall running
across the building from north to
south. as formerly. Four of the
rooms are en- suite. two stand by
themselves, and two in the
southwest corner of the build
ing are intended for Observer Walz
and his assistant. and are connected
and provided with a handy stairway
leading to the roof. The additional
space also allows opportunity for i'm
provement OF the toilet facilities and
other conveniences, and none has
been allowed to go to waste. The
scheme for the reconstruction of the
building calls for the removing of all
the wooden timbers except those in
the room, and replacing them with
fire proof material. The roof will be
slated, but the appropriation will
hardly allow of its being reconstruct
ed with fire proof supports. A good
deal of the stone already laid will
have to be torn out to allow for the
changes in the plans. The plumb
| ing and some of the other sub-con-
tracts will also be enlarged. How
ever, the additional $25, 900 which has
been appropriated will permit of the
completion of the building under the
plans without waiting for any more
legislation.
