WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Baron Fava, the
italian ambassador. was among Secretary
olneys callers today at the State depart
ment, to the surprise of some of the officials
who supposed that the ambassador had sailed
for Europe last week. AS a matter of fact,
while he has secured leave of absence from
his government with permission to return to
Italy with the remains OF his son, he has
been prevented from ayalling himself of the
privilege by an unexpected press of busl-

from New York and taken mp his quarters
for the time at the Metropolitan club.

among them being the ministers of Spain,
Russia, Japan, Venezuela. Chill and the

Mayor Medills Idea in the
Premises.
START At LEAST THIS YEAR.
The Reservoir Too That is
All Interesting.
Various Paving Extensions
Under Discussion.

True to his ante-election pledges
Mayor Medill is taking hold Of pub
lie improvements in q manner that
will insure as much work accom-
p,ished the present season as it is
possible to undertake within the
means at the city's disposal. Today
he has been out on the bluffs looking
for reservoir sites. That Is one Of
the enterprises that he had in mind
in his former administration, and
last evening in conversation on the
most pressing improvements Of the
times he said. If do not propose to
lose sight Of the levee, or permit it
to be sidetracked. 1 have always
realized the necessity of doing some
thing there. and we must include it
in our calculations for this
year. In other words we
must make a good substantial
start. to say the least" Mr.. Medill's
idea is to pave First avenue this sea.
son and perhaps more. and then
complete the Improvement early
next year. The mayors disposition
is not to allow the work to be shirked,
nor does he under estimate its i'm
portance, but he feels that the i'm.
provements should be distributed as
far as possible, when there is 80
much in demand. THE ARGUS,
while approving of the idea of put
ting in First avenue, believes that
the limit ought to be stretched
enough to include one block of levee
paving. say from the west line of
Seventeenth to the east line OF Eigh-
teenth. This would serve as an en-
tering wedge. and would be q gres {
thing for the city even then. Anoth-
er year the other two blocks could be
put 10; but then only one block
would have a wonderful effect in
transforming the entire appearance
OF the levee. However, the begin.
ming, no matter how small, should
include one class of property holders
as well as another.
Improvements Every whore,
There is much to be done in tie
way Of public improvements this
year. The reservoir is q splendid
idea, but this need not interfere with
the levee. although The ARGUS is
much inclined to think the sudden
enthusiasm Of one or two aldermen
Tor it is not SO much in consequence
OF love of the reservoir as a scape
goat for them to ride away from the
ievee on. However, there is, as said,
opportunity for both. Let us have
both. There are various street i'm
provements in the way of paving
under consideration, too, and alto,
gether the council proposes to Law
out seasons work that will revive
an old time spirit Of industry, pride
and good feeling within the CITY.
