POST OFFICE TOWER.
Stonework to BE Resumed Soon on
the Big Building.


the Big Building.
For perhaps a month past the only work
men employed on the new city post office
building have been iron workers, engaged
in the dangerous task Of placing and bolt
ing and riveting the frame work for the
roof Of that structure. The stone and
brick construction of the building proper
was finished some time ago, and the small
flag that floats from the top Of the round
tower at the northeast corner Of the big
pile is witness to that fact.
Next week, however, If weather condi-
lions continue favorable it IS the expecta-
ton to begin again the stone work and
push the work on the tower. A cargo of
stone from the quarries las arrived and is
now being unloaded, containing enough
material for two stories of the tower. 1t
would have been possible to have begun
this work sooner had not the barges been
held between the capes and the mouth of
the Potomac by the recent freeze. The
stone is being delivered in the post office
grounds today, and the brick and stone
masons will be at work again in short
time,

FOR THE PUBLIC USE.
The Commissioners Plan to Put Cot
tages the Market Reservation.

In the estimates of the Commissioners
during the next fiscal year there was an
item of 5000 for improving the reserva-
ton in front Of the Center Market. The
subcommittee on appropriations, however,
did not look with favor upon the estimate.
and 1t was stricken out.
1t was developed today that the Commits
sioners had a great scheme in mind fsr
the. appropriation. They would erect in
this reservation two public houses. of neat
architectural beauty, one for women and
the other for men. Each house would vbe
divided into two apartments, one being for
the general public, to be used gratis while
the other was to be for the use of those
who did not object to paying a small fee.
In these houses were to be bath rooms,
parcel rooms, waiting parlors and other
conyenienceS. The fees received for the
use of the pay rooms were to support the
institution, together with the returns from
privileges for selling newspapers or re-
freshments.
This mbrning Major Powell, who is the
father of the idea, had the architect who
is preparing the plans before him, giving
final instructions to details. The plans,
while not quite completed, show two cot
tages, fronting on Pennsylvania avenue, OF
considerable architectural beauty. They
are similar in design, to be built of brlcle
and stone, with tall, slanting roofs, or,a-
mented with red tile, The Commissioners
will make an effort to get the approprla-
ton allowed for they believe these cot
tages Will fill lcng-felt want. They be-
lteve there is no place in the city where
they could be more advantageously placed
than on this reservation, which is central,
and right in the heart of the business sec
ton,

AS MONROE UNDERSTOOD 1T.
Lord Salisbury Says He Thus Support,
the Great Doctrine.

Lord Salisbury says he Thus supports
the Great Doctrine.
The banquet of the non-conformist union
lists at the Hotel Metropole in London last
night was the occasion for an address by
the Marquis of Salisbury, prime minister
and secretary Of state for foreign affairs.
In the course of his remarks he said. with
reference to Venezuela:
IT have been held up as the denouncer
of the Monroe doctrine. AS a matter Of
fact, although the Monroe doctrine is no
part of international law, my dispatch to
Mr.. Olney. the Secretary of.State of the
United States, supported it as a rule of
policy in the strongest and most distinct
terms.
"But when stated in that dispatch, and
reiterate now, that as q rule Of policy We
are the entire advocates of the Monroe
doctrine. we mean the Monroe doctrine as
President Monroe understood 1t (cheers).
In that sense you will not find any more
convinced supporters than We are"
