THE CUOJCE OF AN ARCHITECT.


S-.oe Of the citizens who were chiefly instrn-
n,enta, in procuring the necessary legislation for
the construction Of new Hall Of Records are
considerably disturbed by the discussion which
the designation of Mr. j. Il. Thomas as archi-
tect has occasioled. The general principle that
a competition should precede the adoption of
design for an important public building Is sounu'
we think. but rather more seems to have Deeh
made out Of the memorandum OF the New-hork
CHAPTER Of the American Institute of Architects
than those who sent II to the Sinking Fund Com
missioners intended. They did not mean II as
a rebuke. nor as reflection upon the proles-
sonal standing Of Mr. Thomas. both OF winch
interpretations 1t has been made 10 Dear
Among those who have taken most interest ana
been most useful in this affair the opinion pre-
walls tina. the circumstances are eXceptionai.
The one great argument in favor of the Hail OF
Records project has been that the present Regis
ters office continually exposes It's invaluaDlc
contents to destruction, and that they ought to

est possiblc mcment For this reason care was
taken in preparing the bill which the Legslat-
IRE passed to remove the obstacles which usual
" interfere with rapid work in the execution
of public improvements. II Is now feared that
II the choice of an architect were rescinded ana
n competition held the consequent delay. I'M
fortunate in itself. might lead 10 various com
plIcatlons and possibly to the abandonment OF
the whole undertaking. 1t is not strange thai
such apprchcnsons should exist Tor numerous
attempts to replace the Registers Once nave
failed in the past after making almost as m"ch
progress as this latest movement.
1t Is represented also that Mr.. Thomas has
claim against the city which it Is proper TO sat
isfy In this way His design for the municipal
building which 1t proposed 70 erect in City
Hall Park several years ago was formally pro-
rounced the best Of all those submitted. and
there is some reason TO suppose that the terms
Of the competition gave him valid contract on
which he might have collected large sum OF
money from the city after the Legislature had
forbidden the use Of the park. 1t is possible TO
push this argument too far, for the waving OF
one claim 'oes not establish another; but there
Is little danger, in the present case, In conceding
Mr. Thomas's moral right to consideration espe
cially in view of the fact that his excellent repu-
tation has recently been confirmed In compet-
ton with a large number of his professional
brethren There is much force In the argument
that the protest, if 1t can be called a protest.
ought TO have been made earlier. and that 1t Is
wiser, on the whole. to forego the remote chance
of obtaining better building than Mr. Thomas
will put UP. for the sake Of avoiding the delay
which a competition would now cause and the
fatal complications to which 1t might possibly
lead

PEACE, BUT THERE rs NO PEACE.

The great Powers seem TO be having no bet
Ter success in restoring peace than they had In
nreyenting war between Greece and Turkey. IN
rcsnopsc TO their offer Of mediation Greece has
,rrced to stop fighting and to place her inter
sis unrcservedly in their bends. But turkey
nouts the offer True, they have not command
I'd her to cease hostilites They have merely
.eoucsted or perhaps urged her to do so. They
.cscrye p-remptory commands for smaller and
less guilty States. such as Greece. But turkey
does not comply with their request. nor yiel'
to their urging. She is still sending troops to
The front. and pressing forward on the road t'
Athens. Any hour may bring news that Edhem
Pacha has taken DomokO. as he has alread!
taken Larssa and Pharsaos. and that the rem
nant of the Greeks have been forced back TO OLD
Thermopye Naturally the Greeks, too have
resumed fighting. They are blockadng the
Gulf Of Salonica and bombardng Prevesa again,
and. If report be true, have occupied two or
three places in Epirus. So we have the spec
tacle OF the two belgerents continuing des'il-
tory warfare In the face Of the Concerts proc
lamatiOn Of an armlstice
The most interesting feature Of this situation
is this, that Turkey is now defying the will
Of the Powers The grievance Of the Powers
against Greece has been that she went to war
when they commanded her not to do so. Thus.
they say, she made herself an outlaw, and she
must be punished for IT, Well, we need not
again discuss the question whether Greece or
Turkey was the real aggre ssor. What is certain
now Is that Greece listens TO the Powers when
they call for an armistice, and Turkey does not.
VIII they reckon that Turkey thereby outlaws
herself and that she must be punished for It:
Or is there saving grace in the fact that Turkey
merely ignores q request while Greece disobeyed
a command? Or is there one rule, an easy and
a lenient one for Turkey. and another. hard
and severe one for Greece?
Interesting also is II to observe the more or
less official suggestions put forth in Russia that
Turkey may be allowed to retain Thessaly as
her spolls Of war, and thus practically to force
the Greek boundary back TO where 1t was before
the Treaty of Berlin. From the Russian point
Of view that would be quite the proper thing.
For Russia can never forgive Greece for resist
ing the triumphant Slav march through the Bal
kans and she cannot overlook the fact that as
all Turkey is to be hers one day the more Tur
then. But what has become Of the valiant dec
laralOn. so freely made a few weeks ago. that.
no matter what might happen, 1t was inconceiv-
able that Turkey should ever be permitted to
enlarge her territory In Europe at the expense
Of a Christian Power?

FyTERNIyATION ~ CUBA.

The latest phase of the Cuban question. which
+, believed to be occupying the serious at'en
ton of the Washington Government. Is affirm
utable directly to the extraordinary plan OF
campaign adopted by General Weyler. All
inhabitants Of TIE Island were ordered 10
abandon their homes to turn over their cat
tie to the Spanish Army, and 10 repair az
once to the fortified towns held by Span
ish garrisons. If they did not do so, they
were to be regarded as rebels. That meant
that about 100000 people were 10 he crowded

His soldiers are free to rob, outrage and Kill
them wherever they find them. That Is why So
much is heard Of tn, killing Of ''pacificos.' A

regarded as a rebel in arms. Nor Is the lot OF
the minority, some 100000, who obeyed the
order, much, If any, better They are crowded
into the unsanitary towns, without means of

as the commissariat is unable to provide even
for the wants Of the army they are left to beg
or to starve. or both. It Is choice between

people.
In any case such state Of affairs would de

REVENUE FROM WOOL AND WOOLLENS.

REVENUE FROM WOOL AND WOOLLENS.
In considering what revenue the Senate Tariff
bill would yield, anticlpatory imports are COM
monty regarded as affecting the first year only.
But in wool and some other articles the per-
turbation Of markets throughout the world,
caused by unprecedented American demand for
some months. followed by entire cessation OF
that demand, Is likely TO be so profound that
its effects may be felt for more than one year.
1t would not he surprising If the Australian pro-
duction Of wool should be materially diminished
for some time But after the using Of supplies
now laid In for something like a year 10 come
manufacturers could import clothing and comb
ing wool by paying less duties than were paid
under the McKinl tariff. In 1893. 35,322.611
pounds Of clothing wool averaging IS cents In
cost paid IL cents per pound and 5.14O,629
pounds of combing wool averaging u cents in
cost paid II cents per pound II the Senate bill
should pass. making the duties only and .
cents it seems highly probable that the impOrta-
tons would be considerably larger than they
were In 1893. Indeed the committee would
have thrown away by the reduction part of the
duty obtalnable, unless the importations should
increase to 4S56S0O pounds of clothing and
1854, 600 pounds Of comblDg wool. The pro-
posed cents is now 80 per cent Of the foreign
cost of clothing wool, which averaged 10 cents
In February. and the Mckinley rate was 1893
per cent The proposed cents is also 80 per
cent of the foreign cost Of combing wool which
averaged 1S cents In February. but the McKin-
ley rate was $50 per cent.
As to thirdclass wool entirely different effects
must be expected. With an ad valorem duty
of 80 per cent the mportations in the fiscal year
1893 were 1851 ,2s3 pounds, and the average
cost was then 7.6 cents On such wool now cost
ing less than 10 cents abroad the proposed duty
of cents would average more than 80 per cent,
and on the large quantity imported from China
averaging now about cents In cost, the duty
would be nearly GO per cent. A heavy decrease
in importations would naturally result. Official
returns do not show more than about 100000
pounds of third-class wool costing over 10 cents
which IL imported from France, Germany and
other parts o: Europe. but on such wool the
duty Of cents would be relatively heavier, near
~ 20 per cent, on that part which is least likely
to be employed In clothing manufacture. II
seems altogether probable that mpor'ations OF
carpet wool would be much smaller and the duty
realized much less undcr tho Senate bin than
under that Of the House. Taking all kinds OF
wool together. ii seems probable that the House
bill would result In smaller importations and
In larger revenue than that Of the Senate
As to wOollen goods the Senate bill would
undoubtedly invite somewhat larger importa-
tons In place OF the peculiar and complicated
schedule of the House bill. which was eminent
ly calculated to prevent evasion Of duty by IN
dervsiuatpns. the Senate bill imposes much sim
