BOARD OF DIRECTORS PROTESTS.
Strong Objections to Locating City
Jail Nenr the Librnry.

strong objections TO Locating city
Jail Near the Library.
The members of the public library board
are vigorously opposed to the proposition that
is now pending before the city council look
ing toward the construction of a city jail
and engine house on the corner Of Eigh-
teenth and Harvey streets and Immediately
adjoining the library building. President
Reed contemplated calling a special meeting
of the board to act on the matter. but it was
finally decided to transmit to the council a
remonstrance which has been signed by each
member of the board.
In speaking of the objections Of the board,
one of the members said, "The public
library, like a school building, is an educa-
tional institution. The greater number of the
book borrowers are women and children, and
it would be a serious detriment to the library
to compel them to pass the Jail In order to
get to the building. Aside from this, the
proposition to locate the patrol wagons and
fire apparatus in the rear adjoining the
library building is also Objectionable. The
people who work in the library are students
who require at least moderate quiet in which
to work. The stamping Of horses, ringing Of
patrol and fire calls and the continual con-
fusion when a call was answered would con-
st!tute a needless interruption. Since there
are any number of places at which a jail
may BIO located there is no reason why the
city should injure its own property by put
ting a Jail for a term of five or ten years

Erect ~ Monument TO Those Who

Erect ~ Onunncnt to Those WHO
Aided In the Struggle for Liberty.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-President Crespo
OF Venezuela has taken another step toward
the conspicuous honoring OF American citi-
zens by issuing a decree directing the erec-
ton Of a bronze column in honor Of the citi-
zens OF the United States who aided vene-
zuela In the first struggle for independence.
The decree has Just been received at the
Venezuelan legation here. Venezuela has
honored this government heretofore by erect
ing a statue of Washington and projecting
another statue to President Monroe COM
memorative Of the Monroe doctrine, so that
the erection of this bronze column is a
further evidence Of the friendly feeling ex-
listing.
The decree states that the column Is a
memorial to the following citizens of the
United States: Captain Donahue, Lieutenant
Billop and Privates James Gardner, Charles
Johnson, Gustavus Bugrud, Paul T. George,
Daniel Kemper, Miles T. Hall, John Ferris
and Sub-Lteutenant Francis Farquharson.
The decree further recites the Interesting
services OF these men, who joined Miranda
in an expedition leaving New York IL 1906
for the avowed purpose of freeing Venezuela
from the Spanish rule. The party was cap
tured at Puerto Cabello and the Americans
were shot by Spanish soldiers outside the
castle Of San Felipe. Miranda escaped and
subsequently took part in signing the declar-
atlon OF venezuelan independence.
Crespo recites the valor of the American
party and says their names will be enrolled
in the list of illustrious patriots who Sc
cured the Independence Of South America
from foreign rule.
The column Is to be erected at Puerto Ca
bello, at the point where the Americans were
captured. The front of the column will bear
the coat-of-arms Of the United States along
side that of Venezuela, while the sides bear
the names of the American party and an ex-
preston Of national gratitude signed by
President Crespo. The unwilling Of the col
umn Is to be made on July 4, the national
holiday Of the United States, and is to be
made notable by a demonstration lasting
three days throughout Venezuela. On the
first day President Crespo and his cabinet
will head a procession at Caracas, bearing
wreaths and flowers to be placed on the
monument Of Washington. The bronze col
umn will be unveiled on the same day, with
elaborate exercises. 1t is decreed that during
the three days Of ceremonies and fetes all
official utterances and acts shall include men,
ton of these citizens who aided Venezuela.
The minister of public works is in charge of
the erection of the column and the national
ceremonies.

DECIDES ON A BANKRUPTCY BILL.
Applicable to All Persons Owing
Over 5000.

Applicable to All Persons Owing
Over 5000.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The senate COM
mittee on judiciary today decided upon a
favorable report upon the voluntary bank
ruptcy bill.
The bill will be reported to the senate on
Monday, the 18th inst. AS agreed upon by
the committee. it provides that any debtor
owing 5000 or more may make a voluntary
assignment before any competent authority,
Of all his property, except that exempt under
the law. for the benefit of his creditors
equally. He is required to file a full list Of
all his property exempt or uneXempt and of
his creditors. 1t allows preferences only to
debts due to the United States. to any state
or territory to servants or laborers, for serv-
Ice performed within one year, and to liens
or membranes on homesteads to the ex-
tent of 81 900. The debtor is allowed to file
a petition in the United States district court
four months after making his assignment
asking to be discharged from his debts,
which the court is authorized to grant after
due proceedings for the protection of credit
ors and the observance of the law.
Especial provision is made to the effect
that this discharge shall not include any debt
which may have been created In consequence
of a defalcation as a public officer, or as
guardian or trustee, or while acting in any
fduciary character. The law is to remain in
force for two years only. The district courts
are made bankruptcy courts for the purpose
of carrying the law into effect.
Senator George will have charge Of the bill
in the senate, and he said today that he
would make an effort to. secure consideration
and action upon it during the present SEES
SION. He said also that congress would not
adjourn until the senate should have an OPP
portunity to show its disposition toward the
bill. He thinks that it will pass the senate
IL a vote can be secured. There was a sharp
effort in the committee to have the bill
amended so as to provide for forcing debtors
into bankruptcy in certain contingencies, but
it failed, and 1t is presumed that the at
tempt will be renewed when the bill is taken

FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS
Bill Carries Ten Million Dollars as Re-
ported to the House,
CONTRACTS AUTHORIZED FOR MUCH MORE

About the Same ms the Current
one-Missouri River Gets n
Good Allowance.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The river and
farbor bill of the Fifty-fourth congress.
over which there has been more specula-
ton and anxiety among members than any
other bill, was completed by the committee
on rivers and harbors and reported to the
house by Chairman Hooker today. The
total amount appropriated by the bill is
in round numbers $40, 600, 900, and provision
is made for continuing works already under
way, contracts to be made by the secretary
Of war for works which will cost $1,000
900. for which appropriations will be made
in the future. This Is not a material change
from the river and harbor appropriations
of the last congress. The Fifty
second congress authorized about $751;
900, 900 of expenditure and con-
tracts for $31, $50, 900. The Fifty-third
congress bill carried $25, 1876, 295 appropria-
ton and contracts for about $13, 600, 900.
Members of the committee OF both parties
unite in the verdict that the contract sys-
TEN Is the most economical and satisfactory,
1t saving, according to the secretary of war,
from 25 to 33 per cent of the cost of works,
and in some cases more. On Monday next
the bill will probably be called up in the
house.
There are also provisions for contract
works to the amount of about $4,000, OOO.
Among the appropriations are the follow
ing: In Georgia contracts for $1,093 900 are
to be made for Savannah harbor and for
completing the steamboat channel between
that harbor and Beaufort, s. G. The con-
tractor for Brunswick is to be paid $4,000
for a twenty-three foot depth and $4,000 for
a twenty-four-foot depth, which will be OBJ
tanned. The contracts for $1,641,OOO for
Cumberland sound are to be made and be-
sides an item of 5000. 900 for Dar.en. A re-
port Is to be made on the means and cost OF

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Pacific ca
BILE project was once more the subject of
discussion by the house committee on COM
merce today. Mr.. Bennett of New York
presented a substitute bill embodying several
amendments which had been suggested by
members on former discussions. 1t was the
sense of the committee that instead of the
subsidy of $3.50, 900 asked by the Pacific
Cable company, the New York corporation.
the government should not help 1t in a
greater sum than 800, 900 a year for twenty
years. if any agreement was made, and that
government business should be done free
for all time.
Mr.. Benefits bill fixed rates for private
business at $1.25 a word for China and
Japan and 35 cents for the Hawaiian islands,
and press rates at one-fourth Of these fig
ures. The company has abandoned its in
tention to try to secure a mid-ocean station
