Brander Matthews whose "Vignettes
of Manhattan" are so popular, is profess

university; and, sad to relate, he is the
only professor in that institution who
has taken determined stand against

and we trust that Mr.. Matthews will
reconsider his action.

as she has so often done in her stories
of colonial life and of the French and
Indian troubles.

New YORK, March 21.-The steamer
Strabo, Capt. Jardine, which arrived
here yesterday from Rio Janeiro, lost
one of her crew from yellow fever dur
ing the voyage to this port.
While in port at Rio Janeiro, two of

TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.

VIII Change the Date of Inauguration Day
and Extend the Present Executives Term
Two Months.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
yesterday authorized a favorable re-
port on the amendment to the consti-
tuition of the United States, introduced
by Senator Hoar, changing the time of
the year for the expiration of the terms
of the president, vice-president, sena-
tors and representatives in congress
from March 4 to the last Wednesday in
April.
The change is made to take effect in
1901, and if the amendment should be
accepted by congress, and be ratified
by a sufficient number of the states, it
would have the effect of extending
the terms of President Mckinley and
Vice-President Hobart almost two
months. The object of the amend
ment is to avoid the harsh weather
which sometimes interferes with the
Inauguration ceremonies when held on
the 4th of March.

sion was devoted to the discussion of the post

Grafton of the post Office appropriation bill,

OMAHA, Neb., March 31.-Plans for
state buildings at the Transmississippi
exposition are coming in rapidly. The
department of publicity has just
reached the architects drawings of the
Minnesota building, the Montana
building, the Arkansas building, the
Denver building and the Missouri
building. The plans for the proposed
Iowa building met the hearty APP
proval of exposition authorities.
The Illinois building is nearly COM
pleted, with the exception of an addi-
tional wing made necessary for the ac-
commodation of the fine art exhibit
which Illinois will bring to the EXPOSE
ton.
The Wisconsin building is well under
way and is one of the most complete
state buildings on the grounds.
The Nebraska building is practicHly
completed.
The plans for the Denver or Colorado
buildings have been accepted and
the contract will be let in day or
two.
Plans for the Georgia Pine palace
have been submitted. 1t will be con-
structed wholly of pine donated by the
people of Georgia. 1t is handsome
structure.
The Minnesota building will be con-
structed on similar lines, of unhewn
Minnesota logs. The design of the.
architects is most pleasing.
Plans for the Oregon building are
now being drawn, and will be sub
mitted next week. Members of the
state commissions of other states send
assurances that plans for their state
buildings will be forthcoming within
short time. 1t is highly probable:
that the states of New York
and New Jersey will construct hand
some buildings at the Transmississippi
exposition. Thirty-five states have,
to date, decided to participate in the eX-
position. In 80 of these commissions
have been appointed and reports from
agents in the field are to the effect that
at least live more states Will be organ
lied within the next ten days. The
wintec weather having been more
favorable, construction work is fast adj
vancing and is progressing in the main
court, the bluff track and the midway,
with great rapidity.
The great government building, SOC
feet long, and the pinnacle of whose
dome is nearly 200 feet high, is nearly
done. The management finds it nee
essary to build several anneXes to ac-
commodate the extraordinary demand
for exhibit space.
