Recommendation.

Building Superintendent Wilson Makes
accommodation.
Washington, July 20.-Colonel J.
NJ. Wilson, superintendent of govern
ment buildings and grounds, has re-
peatedly recommended the erection OF
a special office building for the chief
executive Of the nation. but congress
has taken no action on them. His an
nual report just submitted, says:
81 earnestly recommend that an ap-
preparation of $3.50, 900 be made for the
erection. within the executive mansion
grounds and directly opposite the treas
ury building, of granite structure for
the office of the chief executive of the
nation. This structure could be con-
nected by wide corridor with large
conservatory fitted up as winter gar
den, with tropical plants and foun-
tain, statues of eminent Americans;
the conservatories could open into a
picture gallery connected by two wide
walls, with the east room, and the i'm
provements could serve a double pur-
pose of relieving the mansion of the
terrible crush incident TO the evening
receptions.
II earnestly hope that action may
be taken at the approaching session of
congress toward erecting a suitable
office building for the president of the
United States.

A FERRY-BOAT SUNK.
Fourteen orehandlers Drowned st
Cleveland.


Cleveland.
Cleveland, o., July 20.--Seversl
lives were lost in an accident which oc-
Cured about 1880 tonight on an old
river-bed near the ore docks Of the
Cleveland q Pittsburg Railroad Com
pany. The ore handlers had just quit
work foi the day, and were waiting
their turn to cross the branch Of the
river on the t-bottom ferry boat
which they had provided for this pur-
pose. When it was about half way
over, the frail craft was swsmped by
the wash from passing stearaer, and
it began to sink. The first report of
the accident placed the number of dead
at twenty-five. but that proved to have
been an exaggeration. Fourteen
bodies have been taken from the water.
William Bueloy, well-known press
man. went to the river to see the ex-
citement, fell off an abutment near
the Detroit boat landing and was
drowned.
The river is being dragged for more
bodies. There were many pathetic
scenes about the morgue while rela-
tives Of the dead men were identifying
them. 1t is believed at II o'clock all
the bodies have been recovered, though
it is possible one or two victims may
be added to the list. Twelve of the
fourteen victims leave families who
were dependent upon them.
