OLD HAY MARKET SQUARE,
Clearing 1t Commenced - To Re q,
Market Square for Countrymen.

| Market Square for COuntrymen
| The work of clearing away the fences and
other Instructions on the old hay market
square was begun today and is to be COM
| pleted within the next fifteen days. The
| stable at 11th and B streets and the struct-
ure that used to be used as a restaurant
| for country people who had come into
town on their wagons will be allowed to
stand, but all the rest will be razed to the
ground Building Inspector Brady has
made arrangements with a contractor to
| remove all the old sheds and fences, and
Will be allowed to keep the material in re-
turn for his work, so that the Improvement
Will not cost the District anything
AS soon as the work of clearing away
the old square shall have been completed
the engineer department of the District
government will take the site in hand and
will prepare it with as little delay as pos
sible for its occupancy as a market square
for countrymen who bring their own pro-
duce into town for sale. 1t is thought that
accommodation can be provided for about
100 wagons ranged along side by side with
passageways between the ranks for the
convenience of purchasers.
Maj. Powell said today that the Commits
sioners have not at their disposal funds
sufficient to pave the square as they would
Ike to at first. All that can be done with
what they have is to grade and curb the
property and to pave it with gravel for
the present
The farmers and truckers, for whose ben
eft the new market is to be established
are to be charged nominal rental for
their stands, and the money thus received
by the District Will provide for the improve
ments to be made. In return the truckers
will have the advantage OF a permanent
place of business, each man having his own
stand. SO that they will not be put to the
Inconvenience of leaving their homes at
such unearthly hours as they do now in
order to get a good position near the mar
ket. On the other hand, the community
will be benefited, the present crowding
of truckers wagons along street will be
done away with.

A STATEMENT FROM TAYLOR.
A Letter Written to The Star Before
His Departure for Prison.

"A
His Departure for Prison.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
My case has been so thoroughly pre-
sented to the public, and my friends, by
the press of this city, that there is not
much to say. But desire to reassure my
friends and the public of the following
facts: 1t never was my intention to have
shot or killed my wife, the woman whom I
loved above all things on this earth; and
1 most strenuously repeat that did not
know that my wife was hurt until after
she had informed me of the fact. I fully
intended to kill myself, being so induced
by an uncomfortable feeling within me
which 1 cannot describe, but as to my hav-
ing with premeditation thought of de-
stroying my wife, never. 1 loved her mad
ly. passionately, and 1 still entertain
that strong passion for her that
was my ruin. She was beautiful but weak
1 hope she has forgiven me, as l have for
given her. and that we will meet in
heaven and be happy once more
Through the kind attention and efforts
of my spiritual advisers, 1 have beer con-
Verted, and hope to die as / now hope
am Christian. No one realizes the great
hess OF God more than man who has
been as near death as 1. All hail Gods
glorious name! My first thanks must be
extended to the President for his kindness
and his just opinion in my case. : must
next thank, with qualification, the press
of Washington city, and especially thank
your valuable paper for its courageous as
sistance in my behalf Accept these
thanks. as they are given, humbly and
sincerely. While 1 do not think 1 rad a
fair and just trial, desire to thank Judge
Cole and Mr.. Birney for their recommenda-
tion in my behalf, and to tell them that
bear no malice to them for doing their
duty officers of the government. / also
wish to express my thanks and gratitude
to all my friends, and also the citizens Of
East Washington and their committee, of
whom Mr.. Chapel. was chairman, for the
large amount of earnest wcrk they have
done in my behalf.
Last but not least, / wish to publicly
thank my attorneys. Messrs. Bartlett and
Niles. for the strenuous efforts they have
put forth in my behalf
Il am about to be incarcerated IN the
penitentiary for life, and this is the last
communication that the world will ever
see from me. My only wish is that the
people will be kind to my little daughter
Blanche.

they May Take Place So Far as the
Treasury Department. is' Concerned.
The Treasury Department officials have
decided that they have no right to interfere
with the proposed bull fights at the Atlanta
exposition, and they may take place SO far
as that department is. concerned. The HUI
name Society appealed to Secretary Carlisle
to prohibit the entry of the bulls under
section 10 of the tariff law. which prohibits
the Introduction of immoral or obscene
literature, etc. The protest of the society
was based on the wording of the law, and
declared that, bulls are Immoral instru-
ments' and as such should be refused ad-
mission to this country. The Treasury De-
partment. however. decided today that bulls
are not Immoral Instruments" and hence
cannot be denied admission to the United
States. The question whether the bull
lighters can be kept out under the alien
labor contract law was also decided in the
negative. .,,--

MARTINIQUE IMPORT DUTIES.
Their Reduction is Favored by the
New Island Governor.

Their Reduction is Favored by the
New Island Governor.
Julius G. Tucker, United States consul at
Martinique. has sent to the State Depart
ment report of visit of the newly in
stalled governor of the island, Mr. Noel
Pardon, to himself, and conference he
had with that official with reference to
import duties levied upon, American prod
ucts. Mr.. Tucker says that he pointed out
to Mr.. Pardon the great benefits which
would accrue to the people of the island
from modification of these duties ard
that the governor assured him of desire
to see reduction made. Mr. Tucker thinks
that should the excessive duties now levied
be modified. a largely increased trade with
the United States would most certainly
follow. He adds that he has talked with
many of the principal merchants Of the
island. and they agree that the high duties
row levied have proved failure in that
they have driven the trade to the adjacent
English islands.

The apprehension of serious trouble on

that as the result of the special cabinet
meeting held in Washington last week,
Secretary Herbert abandoned mis- intention
to leave the Florida ecast and the West

dered the Atlanta to remain on the watch
to head off the filibustering expedition

WEATHER FORECASTS.

various Executive Departments to Be
Supplied With Them Daily.
The weather bureau has arranged to
supply the various executive departments
daily with the weather forecasts as soon
as made by the official forecaster. The
plan is to furnish for display on bulletin
boards the weather prediction stamped in
bold type that may be easily read at con-
siderable distance and with much greater
ease than is possible with the weather map
on which the prediction is printed in type
OF ordinary size. The same service is being
given to the branch post Offices and other
public places about the city. The bureau
under its new management is anxious that
the Washington public shall have full bene-
fit of its information, and is endeavoring
to give the most widespread publicity to
the weather forecasts

RICHMOND, Va, July 25.-At a meeting
last night ti,e German-American Associa-
ton here raised a purse for the assistance
of John Dern, the German, who, with his
wife and three children, deserted his farm
in Lunenburg and fled to Richmond for
protection from a gang of outlaws. The
case has aroused the deepest sympathy
here, and Attorney General Scott is in
communication with Judge Organ of
Lunenburg in regard to the case. United
States Deputy Boiling, who went to the
scene of the outrage, has not been heard
from yet. His report is awaited here with
intense interest. From all accounts this is
one of the most unfortunate outrages which
M has happened in Lunenburg for years.
There appears to be gang Of outlaws in
that county who are making things lively
for tie foreign settlers around Wattsboro.
