These buildings can be altered and reno
waited so as to have number. of large
meeting-rooms, where all of the unions In
the building trades can meet and transact
their business. Other unions can also be
accom- modated. The total amount of
money paid by these unions, now scat

leges in a union headquarters, would make
such an institution self-supporting and
soon repay the outlay of putting in con-

Another subject of interest was con-
sidered by the council. 1t was that of
holding monthly or semi monthly mass

The Nobleman Tells Why He Does Not

Prince A Dolgorouki of Russia, who for
some time past has been flag lieutenant of
the powerful Russian battle-ship Emperor
Nicolas, now at Hongkong, arrived here
yesterday on the BeIgic.
The Prince is en- route to Petersburg
and will not return TO China. He comes
of one Of the most famous families in all
Russia, and along which line of noble
men celebrated in Russian history has
sprung. From the Dolgoroukis came the
first princes of the empire, the Rurks, who
governed Russia. They arose in the
province of liver in the verv early time s.
and ever since have been foremost in the
a1ralrs OF the nation. One of them was
Governor-General of Moscow, another was
once First Secretary of State, and Alex
ander ii got his wife. as will be remem-
bered. from the Dolgoroukis.
Prince Dolgorouk, now here, is an un-
assuming gentleman scarcely more tn an
25 years old. He Is pleas ant talker. and
takes great interest in the affairs of
Russia. He was asked if there was any
danger of q war between Russia and Japan
as mas been lntimated III the dispatches
and otherwise.
"As to that, hardly think there will be
any trouble" said the Prince. who is at
the Palace. "If any was anticipated there
would be something that would look like
preparation. At present there is no
preparation whatever.
"Mr. Chitrowo, the Minister from Rus
sla to Japan. who has his headquarters at
Toxic, is to leave next week on the
steamer, via Snez, for Petersburg to be
present at the coronation of the Gear on
May 18. At the same time Colonel
Wogak, the celebrated military agent of

the GovernorGeneral of Eastern Siberia,
is also at Petersburg.

there won't be anv war. All these gentle

Captain Randall of the tug was on his
way to dock ship, but when he saw the
predicament in which Captain Lane was
placed he at once went to his assistance
and towed the vessel to a safe anchorage
The Harry Morse was so close to the island
when her anchors held that with the turn
OF the tide her stern would have struck
bottom.
The average passage for steamer from
Yokohama to San francisco is about six
teen days. The Harry Morse came over in
tweEty-six days, thus making the smart
est passage in years. The best on record

A speedy band of sprinters was gathered
together in the last event of the day, a
six-furlong sprint. Nothing in the race
lacked support, the play on Derfargiila
and Babe Murphy being particularly
heavy. Levena c was backed down sew

Richard both had friends. Tim Murphy

WEALTH OF THE ASTORS.
They Are Constantly Adding to Their
Realty Holdings in New York


The Astors are adding to their realty
holdings. To-day William Waldorf Astor
purchased an old church building on
Forty-sixth street, between Sixth ana
Seventh avenues. which covers three city
lots. By this purchase the great estate
gobbles the entire block, with the excep.
ton of one lot. AS this block is one of
the several selected for the metropolitan
terminal of the big North River bridge,
which will surely be completed within
six or seven years, the reasons for the pur-
chase are obvious. The Astors-William
Waldorf and John Jacob-are undoubtedly
the largest individual owners of real estate
in Gotham. Like the founder of their
house. they have always regarded
city land as the best and safest
investment. Old John Jacob first be-
came real estate owner in 1885, when
he bought for $25 lot of land on the
Bowery, near Elizabeth street. Twenty
one years later he was the largest holder
OF real estate In town, and his descendants
have ever since kept the lead in this re-
spect. In 1885 he sold the Astor House for
81. William B. Astor had expressed a
desire to own it, whereupon John Jacob
told him>that he would sell it to him for
the amount named. The bargain was con-
cluded on the spot. The greatest care has
always been taken to keep the exact value
OF the Astor estate from becoming public.
| When John Jacob Astor the first died he
was said to be worth 20,000,COO At Will
! liam Is. Astor's death it was reputed that
he was worth $50, ,000,0 600, but this estimate
has been declared too low. few millions
could be added with safety at present, and
every hour increases the valuation.
Ever since 1911 the Astor family has
been putting its spare change into Man
haitian Island real estate. Rents which
accrued were reinvested with particular
view to the location OF the property. John
jacob and William Waldorf have con-
/ tinued to make investments in Harlem
and the new annexed district within a few
years. They keep sharp eye on the
trend of trade and the growth of new
districts. One real estate authority

street 1t included twenty-five acres
Of soil solidly built up. Yet this

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Representative
Aldrich, OF illinois, gives out statement
tonight of Mr.. Reeds strength as COM
pared with that Of other candidates, and
says: II think the time has come to let
the country know something about the
tual standing of Mr.. Reed in this canvass.
His friends have devoted themselves thus
far to electing Reed delegates rather than
to making claims which they cannot SUBJ
stantiate. This table. which 1 submit is
made up from reliable information furnished
by delegates, and in some cases by chair
men of conventions. To be sure, there are
contests in several places where 1t would
be unfair to prejudice the action of the
convention For instance, the entire Mis-
sissippi delegation will be contested, and we
place 1t in the doubtful column. The only
speculation in the list is in the doubtful
column. Newspaper rumors do not figure
in 1t at ALL There is no trouble about get
ting the names of delegates. alternates and
contestants; this is all matter of record
and an open page. The table given out by
McKinley's friends on Monday includes the
unelected delegates from Ohio and Indiana.
AS well might we include the unelected
delegations from Maine and other States
which are for Reed, but this would stamp
such an estimate as fraudulent" The fol-
lowing is Mr.. Aldrich's estimates:
