Many of the large residences contem-
plated are for Eastern men who have just

One item OF building which viii appeal
more TO the families OF the city viii be
that pertaining to the erection of schools
a, the last election several propositions
we're voted on, and one in particular was
for additional school rooms. authorizing
the board of education to spend $2s.o00. 1t
also gave them permission to purchase

$4,000 was voted on to be sod. Besides
authorizing the board to expend SIS 90
the law allows the board t. spend $25, 90.
Undoubtedly the new board will take the
matter Immediately in hand and not far
from $4,000 alone VIII be spent for school
purposes. When this IS done it places the

Street improvements.
Not the least noteworthy OF the improve
ments that are Fastening Seattle from the
chrysal.s of town life into the fuller exist
ence OF cosmopolitan city are the street
improvements effected during the present
year, amounting, according TO the engi-
neer's estimates, to $2sS.isl.1 Il.
In order to appreciate this improvement
fully. one has only to take retrospective
glance TO three years ago. when First ard
Second avenues were furrowed with innu-
merable ridges and Pike street from First
avenue TO Ninth avenue was no better than
a suburban summer road. Then one needs
u take a present view of the streets
through the business center of the city
from Jackson 10 Pike, and compare it with
three years ago.
The present year has been a remarkable
one for the construction OF sewers, the most
nlIahle of which are as follows.

AMERICAN MONUMENT
TO MARQUIS LAFAYETTE.
Fund WIN Be Raised for Monument
to Be Placed at the Paris
Exposition.

WASHINGTON. Sept. ga. H. Revell,
vlce-president OF the Lafayette Memorial
Association, has addressed letter to
President Mckinley regarding the raising
Of funds for a monument to Lafayette at
Paris. Revell's letter says:
"on behalf of the Lafayette memorial
commission. recently formed by the COM
missioner general to the Paris exposition
we have the honor to advise you that II Is
proposed to s,gnalize and make conspicu-
Gus the participation of the United States

same to be unveiled and dedicated July 4,

"It is proposed that the school officials
Of the United States be requested to rec
ognize October 10 as Lafayette day In
the schools and colleges public and par
ochial, of the land, when portion of the
day may be devoted to exercises appropri-
ate to the occasion; of the story Of our
struggle for liberty told anew to our chill
dren. and they may on that day con-
tribute their help and mite in memorial
of the knight of liberty and the first de-
fender Of America, 1t Is our wish that
you will, upon consideration of this sub
ject, give it such approval as you may
deem proper

BUILDING OF THE PANAMA
CANAL is MOST FEASIBLE.
r. G. Ward. Railroad Engineer says IL
Has Many Advantages over the MIC
aragua oute-Construction Plans


NEW YORK. Sept. PR, G. Ward. VINO
was for a long time engineer ana ROAD
master OF the Panama railroad and VINO
is greatly interested in the success OF the
Panama canal, arrived in this city on the
steamer Finance from Colon yesterday.
He discussed the interoeeanic eahSl AZ
length at his home here.
Mr.. Wards interest in the canal, he
saws. is only the result OF his having care
fully studied the different routes by living
on the isthmus. He is connected with no
company. All his sympathies are with the
Panama company, however, and that
route he thinks must eventually be ac-
cepted.
Mr.. Wards idea Is that any canal might
be built in ten years time, giving rough
guess. at a cost OF $lOO,OOO,OOO Such cost
would allow the share holders good
profit and the canal. he says must surely
be a success.
The engineer prefers the Panama route
as against the Nicaragua route because
OF the natural advantages of the former,
1.-THE Panama canal" said Mr.. Ward,
sis about IS miles long and has natural
accessible deep water ports at both ends
II built with the lock system 1t will have
rock foundation on which the locks may
be constructed. while the maximum level
of the canal can be cut down to less than
100 feet. Should funds be obtainaole to
warrant the outlay, the canal in fact can
be cut to the sea level On the other
hand, the Nicaragua canal, which Is lSO
miles long, has neither the natural nor ac-
cessible ports at either end, and must OF
nesessity be built on the lock system with
maximum level exceeding a hundred
feet. 1t is without rock foundation for
most of its locks and for some of Its enor-
nous dams, upon the stability of which
the feasibility of construction Is largely
conditioned
MY familiarity with the topography oil
the isthmus of Panama leads me to call
attention to the possibility, in my judg-
ment, of the entire practicability OF cut
ting a sea level canal across the 1sthmus
of Panama. having only one lock, and
that lock for the purpose of regulating
the difference in the rise and fall of the
tides between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. In my judgment the practice
biuty of cutting such canal across ,A'
Isthmus of Panama is one of its chief ad
vantages. 1t will, of course, cost more
but it will be worth immeasurably more
than a lock system canal and will be sub
| iect to fewer liabilities.
"In any event l believe 1t Is to the In
terest of the American people and the
duty of the American government to in
vestigate in most thorough, careful ant
Intelligent manner the advantages ant
disadvantages of the Panama and Nicar
aqua canal routes, and am entirely will
ling to stand the consequences of any

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND APPROVES
THE ADMINISTRATION PLAN
Catholic Church in New Possessions WIN
Conform to American Conditions
VIII be Separate from the State.

CHICAGO. Sept. n.-Archbishop Ireland
has given the first definite information re-
garding the policy Of the Roman Catholic
church In Cuba. Porto Rico and the Phil
lppines.
II includes approval OF the administra-
tlon plan Of leaving the church question
out OF peace discussions and announces
that the church in the Islands will con-
form to the new conditions.
He says:
when the dominion OF the United
States is fully established the church will
come under the same laws that viii gov
ern the country. and be separate from the
state the same as II Is in America"
Whether the ecclesiastical Jurisdiction
OF Cardinal Gibbons shall be extended to
cover AZ least a part OF Americas new
possessions is. according to Archbishop
ireland. stlll a matter for the holy father
10 decide. and at present no American
prelate knows what will be done. The
archbishop declared that the present per-
sonnel Of the clergy in the islands would
be undisturbec. He has been attending
the opening exercises Of Notre Dame uni
versity and learned upon his arrival In
Chicago that talk OF an ecelesiastic COM
mission had been published.
There viii be no such commission from
America to investigate the church in
Porto Rico or the Philippines" he said.
ANY statement that there will be Is
false and unfair TO the clergy in our new
possessions The Spanish priests will not
be required to retire for the reason that
they. better than anyone else, know what
Is needed under the new conditions ana
can bring about a change much more
easily than any commission that might
be appointed.
'The clergy in the Islands is made up
OF men OF intelligence and tact. They
will attend to their own work and do 1t
well. None OF our priests or bishops can
speak the language OF the people, and
would be at loss 10 do as much as the
men now at the head OF the church.
You may say that the priests OF Cuba.
Porto Rico and the Philippines will be in
accord with American Ideas and pro-
gression. and they viii be left TO bring
about the necessary change in their own
way. and it will be the best way"

The process OF reform so ardently cher

denness OF the coup is said TO be due to
the desire OF the dowager empress to pre-
vent the mission OF Marquis Ito from

man recently came to Peklng with the
object OF trying to bring about an alliance
offensive and defensive, between Japan
and China.
A dispatch 20 the Globe from Hons

appears that the Chinese thereby con-
cluded an agreement with St. Petersburg
by which China eeded Port Arthur and
