RECEIVING frs MATERIAL.
Capital Traction Company Making
a.. Ready for Its Conduits.

a. Ready for Its Conduits.
The three-masted schooner G. r. Flint is
lying at a wharf iRt Georgetown, between
32d street and qPotemac avenue, unloading
a cargo OF 12,06o lengths of the material
which Will be used to make the conduit to
be laid between the tracks Of the Pennsyl-
vania avenue and 18th street lines of the
Capital Traction a,ailroad.
These lengths are being unloaded and
placed in piles about five feet high. It is
calculated that If the entire number of
lengths necessary for the system were
placed together. closely possible, they
would cover considerably more than one
acre of land, and be Ave feet high.
These lengths are the same as those
Used by the Potomac Electric Light Com
pany in the construction of its under
ground conduits. They are about ten feet
long, and have an interior coating Of
iron, riveted together. The whole is COW
cred with liberal application Of tar.
This style of material Is said to be much
cheaper than terra Gotta for conduits,
equally as durable. and with a cost of
considerably less than one-half for put
ting in place.
The lengths are shipped from the fac
tory in New York, and several more
schooner loads are expected shortly
According to official measurements, 1t
will take $4,000 lengths to introduce the
underground electric system on the two
lines. With these arriving in such quanti-
ties, It Is likely that no time will be lost
in starting the work.

Prince of WnIes' Happy Home Lire.
From the London Figaro.


One of the kindest and most considerable
of hosts is the Prince Of Wales. Both his
royal highness and the princess allow their
guests to be happy in their own way and
leave those whom they invite to partake of
their hospitality entirely according to their
own inclinations. At Marlborough House
there is. of course, a certain amount OF
ceremony observed, but when at their Nor
folk home the princess is altogether infor-
NAL. Rarely a day passes by without her
royal highness visiting the stables and
making call On her ponies, laden with
apples. carrots and sugar, for their benefit
and every morning regularly she may be
seen in big white apron, feeding her dogs
from basket hanging from her arm
Within doors the scene is one of supreme
cosiness. The furniture is most luxurious
and the house a perfect bower of flowers,
Tor the princess wills 1t SO. The conserya-
tories are always ransacked during the
prince and princess stay. There is a post
Office in the house, where stamps and mon
ey orders may be had and kilograms sent
Both the prince and princess are simpk
adored round about their Norfolk homo
and deservedly, for they never fail o
study the comfort and well being of those
who serve them. or to make their peoples
troubles their own.

Brave Scandinavia.

The promptness with which the Norwe-

little experience in such ice as he will meet,
however, and should be capable of making
the best of his chances of reaching the
scene where the airship is reported TO have

the Andree scheme must hesitate to accent

that they Will be more successful in push

From the Seattle Times.

If the annexation treaty in its present
shape is neglected. IL may cause US to lose
prestige In the eyes of the world, and thus
embarrass US in adhering to the policy Of
maintaining our prestige in the islands
The world might not unnat orally say that
what We reject We SHOULD not keep others
from having. Yet there is no doubt that
the overwhelming sentiment of the United
States is against the acquisition of Hawaii
by one of our European or Oriental rivals,
for that would mean a Pacific Gibraltar
within five days easy steaming from San
Francisco. There is every reason to be-
lieve that Europe now would be disposed
to acquiesce in that annexation which it
has long regarded as the manifest destiny
Of Hawaii. What II might do should we
decline to annex the islands is another
matter.
