The San Francisco call., 1897-02-25
Letter from C0nSuLGSNeyuI Lee.

Baltimore and New York short time ago,
and almost without exception they agreed
that the San Francisco building design
excelled any of the 'others. They pro-
nounced it a SPLENDID design. 1 feel sure
that the San Franciscans will approve OF
the building after it is erected. As for the
interior arrangement, shall have a talk
with Judge McKenna when he comes to
Washington to take his place in the new
Cabinet. shall consult him especially
about the arrangement of courtrooms, as
have asked Judge Morrow and Postmas-
ter McCoppin."
"Will you give to the press photographs
ofthe modified building?"
"No more pictures will be given out. for
the notifications in the design will not be
great enough to make much change in the
general appearance of the structure The
supervising architects Office has been
rushed with work, but we now hope 10
proceed little faster, as we have secured
an additional appropriation OF $210, 900,
which will enable us to employ more men.
1t is my wish to push ahead the work on
the San Francisco. Portland and Denver
buildings as rapidly as possible, but l
don't think it probable that the excava.
tions for the foundation of the San Fran
cisco building can be commenced before
midsummer of the present year"
hJudge Mcguire said to THE CALL cor
respondent tonight: AZ am satisfied that
the Treasury Department has been for
long time determined not to commence

solved before actual construction could
commence. I'VE must determine the
weight that can be supported by the
foundation before we can decide what
sort of building to erect" said
Mr.. Aiken. Several days ago THE
CALL correspondent was informed by
Treasury Department official that
those engineering problems had been set
tied and work would soon commence. But
when a representative of THE CALL inter-
viewed the supervising architect to- day
he was informed that work could not pro-
ceed until the tests of the Seventh and
Mission streets foundation were COM
pleted.
But did the board of engineers not
complete its labors and make its report
nearly two years ago2' asked the corre-
spondent, and Mr.. Aiken replied:
"They made general report to the ef-
feet that the site was all right as whole.
but that certain parts of it was not firm
enough and piling would be necessary.
Ihey did not make a detailed report.
however. 1t is necessary for our draughts-
men to have before the m the most careful
computations before the plans of public
building could be determined on. We must
know the weight that can be supported by
each part of the lot"
"But why didn't the engineers finish
this examination and make the computa-
tions two years ago2'
Because the appropriation of $4,000
made for that purpose was exhausted be-
fore they could complete the work. The
Comptroller of the Treasury has now
The San Francisco call., 1897-02-25

given US his opinion, however, that the
engineers may defray their expenses out
of the general appropriation made for the
San Francisco building. We expect that
the examination of the lot will be resumed
Immediately"
"Will new borings be madeT'
II don't know that they will be neces-
sary," said Mr.. Aiken, 'but some OF the
tests already commenced will be com
pleted."
"Will engineers be sent from Washing
ton to San Francisco TO make the exami-
nation?'
mo, think not" said the supervising o
architect, 'for there are now War Depart
ment engineers in California who will
probably be called upon to do the work"
"Will there be any change in the design
of the building other than diminishing
the height of the towers" asked THE CALL
correspondent.
Not many changes. The lower part of
the building will be ornamented and en-
belished little more. The towers will
not be diminished to one half of their
plain part of the towers will be de-
creased eighteen or twenty feet, but
the ensemb bic of the building will
remain the same as printed in The

many criticisms of the building have been
made in California. and especially
by the San Francisco newspapers,
but the the design meets with the
approval of architects. l submitted ten

neers detailed for the examination OF the
foundation to make their report to the
Secretary.
Senators White and Perkins, Mr.. Loud
aud myself and other members of the del
esatlon have repeatedly urged the COM
mencement and speedy prosecution of
construction. We were at last met with
the statement that the engineers had ex-
hausted the $4,000 appropriated for the
examination of the lot; that their exami-
nation was not either complete or salts
factory, and that they could not make the
requisite report. We then sought to have
the necessary funds provide ed in the gen.
eral appropriation bill, but before that
was accomplished AID within the last few
days the department has decided to use
for that purpose so much of tie appropri-
alton made two years ago for construction
as may be necessary. l presume the en-
gineers will Immediately proceed to COM
plete their examination and make their
report, but of course the report must be
made to the new Secretary of the Treas.
ury. 1t is true that the departme ent could
not proceed with the construction under
the law until the engineers had made a
full report on the foundation, but the Sec
retary's course in preventing the COM
mencement OF work on other public build
ings throughout the country seems to
indicate a studied purpose to delay all
such work, including the San Francisco
Postoffice
"Twoyear ago Mr.. Carlisle was strongly
disposed to commence the construction of
the San Francisco Postoffice and told me
if l could secure an appropriation of
$4,000 in addition to $135,0OO then OH
hand with the right TO make contracts for
construction payable in future years he
could proceed almost Immediately to
build. That information was telegraphed
to San Francisco. One week later Secre-
tary Carlisle drew from his desk letter
containing clippings from two San Fran
cisco papers in which the site was posi-.
lively declared in one of them 70 be a bog
and In he other a swamp. One heading
read: ITO build on the bog at last Mr..
Carlisle then positively declared that he
would not lake the responsibility of build
ing on the site until it had been exam
med and reported upon by competent en-
gineers, saying that the Chicago Postofiee
experience must not be repeated. The
provision for the examination by armv
engineers was then put in the appropria-
tion bill, and the report has not yet been
made"
Representative Loud said:
u do not know the reason for delay.

CRITICAL SI1 UATIoN At HAVANA

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. PA dis
patch 70 the Herald from Havana via
Key West says:
The situation here is critical. Every
soldier and every camp in Havana knows
of the threatened breaking off of relations
between the United States and Spain, and
they are preparing for it. The work upon
defenses is being pushed with great en-
ergy, and it is rumored every five minutes
of the day that General Lee has received
his passports and that war is declared.
The position of our citizens is most crit
ical. The rumor, whether true or false.
has gone abroad that the American Gov
ernment would not intervene, that Amer
leans can be murdered with perfect i'm
punity so long as the trade interests of the
country are not interfered with. Unless
something firm and decisive and strongly
American is done by our Government in
Washington, Americans are in great dan
ger of their lives.
The murder of Ruiz and the demand for
the release of Scott are the sole topics OF
conversation. The amusement and the
great hilarity which were to be observed
at the palace Tuesday have changed.
Minister de LONE has ca bled the Captain
General that Lee will not be recalled, that
his resignation is not accepted and that ne
may be sustained.
General Lee views the question from a
calm, dispassionate standpoint, and he
authorizes me to express the hope that
the situation created by the murder of
Ruiz and his own determination not to
submit to another similar atrocity should
not be exploited by partisan advocates o

the brothers Grimm and Ulv entered.
Ulv had recatly been refused by the
bride, and he was out for revenge. An
attack was made. The women huddled
together, while the men tried to rally.
The brothers had seized the bridegroom,
and Ulv was about to plunge his dag
ger into his breast. Then terrible
crash was heard, and it seemed as if
10000 demons were ON the outside. The
brothers stood as if transfxed. They
knew it was Asgaardsreien, and they
faltered. The doors flew open, and Ulv
was seized by the throat and dragged
on the outside. Then the people gather
ed in the house heard shrill whiz, as
of something flying through the air,
and then all was quiet, but Ulv was
never seen again. His brother Grimm
was badly hurt, but recovered, and on
Christmas evenings in years thereafter
he told to the children the wedding fes-
tival that was visited by Asgaardsreien.

CHRIST CHILD LEGENDS.

Beasts and Birds Have Prominent Place
In Christmas Lore.
The story of the hunting of the wren
in the isle of Man every Christmas is
well known. She is known as Our La
dy's hen, Gods chicken, Christs bird,
because she was present at Chrlst's
birth, brought moss and feathers to
cover the Holy Babe and made nest in
his cradle.
In France the cuckoo was believed to
have flown from Christmas log
A Latin poem of the middle ages tells
that the crossbill matches her eggs at
Christmas and her young birds fly off in
their full plumage at Easter.
The Mohammedans have many leg
ends Of lisa, or Jesus. One tells that
when he was years old he and his
companions made birds and beasts of
clay, and lisa proved his superiority by
making his fly and walk as he COM
manded.
In the Tyrol they say the ravens used
to have snow white plumage, but one
day Jesus wanted to drink at stream,
and they splashed and so befouled the
water that he could not, so he said,
"Ungrateful birds, you are proud Of
your snow white feathers, but they
shall become black and remain SO until
the judgment day"
A Russian legend tells that the horse
flesh is considered unclean because when
Christ lay in his manger the horse ate
the hay from under his bed, but the OK
would not and brought back ON his
horns to replace what the horse ate.
The Britons believe that the OK and
the ass talk together between l and IL
o'clock every Christmas eve.
In Germany the cattle kneel in their
stalls at that hour. Another version
says they stand up.
The ass and the COW are sacred be-
cause they breathed upon the Holy Babe
in his stall.
The ass is the most sure footed of ami
mails because he carried the holy faml-
ly to Egypt by night He has had a
cross on his back ever since.
Old women used to sprinkle holy *;a.
Ter on the ass and the cow to drive away
disease.
Bees are said to buzz in their hives
at the exact hour of our Saviour's birth.
In north Germany the version Of the
man in the moon is thus told One
Christmas eve peasant greatly desired
cabbage, but as he had none in his OWL
garden he stole from his neighbor.
Just as he filled his basket the Christ
Child rode by on his white horse and
said, Because thou has stolen on
Christmas eve thou shalt sit in the
moon with thy cabbage basket" Anc

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
A Custom That Comes From the Three
Wise Men Who Followed the Star.

A Custom That Comes From the Three
Wise Men Who Followed the Star.
Of course you need not be told Of the
origin of presenting gifts at this season
of the year The tEree wise men who
followed the star until it remained sta
tionary over the stable in Bethlehem,
and who, entering the howell wherein
We're the COW and the ass, knelt down
before the beautiful Babe in the Manager,
placed before him presents of myrrh,
frankincense and gold. Their example
is the example that you follow today,
1896 years after the Magi made obei-
sance to the Child Jesus, and when you
place presents before the little ones who
are made in the image of the Divine
Babe you are doing what was done by
the eastern kings but remember that to
carry out their example to the full the
babes in the managers, the little ones in
hOvels must not be forgotten.
Most of our Christmas customs come
from the German Kris Kringle is a
legendary myth whose origin is involv-
ed in much doubt. Formerly in the
small villages of Germany the presents
made by all the parents were sent to some
one person, who, in high busl1ins, a
white robe, mask and an enormous
fax wig, and known as Knecht Rupert,
Went from house to house. He was re-
ceiyed by the parents with great rever-
ence, and, calling for the children, pre-
sented the gifts to them according to
the accounts of their conduct received
from the parents 1t appears as highly
probable thai this custom gave rise to
our present innumerable legends about

Today ye are redeemed,
Made heirs with Christ in gloryi
Bring out the silent harps
And tune them all anew,
Then sing till angels stand amazed
A Saviour born to you.

The star had led the way,
To manger filled with glory.

Deaths power hath passed away,
And heaven rings with this glad theme
Man is redeemed today.

Let heaven and earth repeat.
Join seraphim and cherub
In homage at his feet.
Let song of saving grace,
With angels anthem vie,
For unto God the sweetest sound
Is q redeemed ones cry.
Bring roses, sweet rosesi
For unto you Is given
A ransom from the grave,
passport into heaven.
Swing wide, ye pearly gates!
Let anthems have full sway.

How cherries is the wind that sweeps
The hills of Galilee,
Where, murmurless, the Jordan creeps
Down to the deep Dead seal
Ger barren rocks the dead vines trail
And by dead tendrils cling,
And on the hill and in the vale
There is no breath Of spring.
The dying glance of Christ the King
Seems to have staid and stilled
The voice of every living thing
Where Christ the King was killed.
The brooks, the birds that sing with them,
Have long since passed away,
And all about Jerusalem
Tue earth'is dead today.
