RESIDENCE rs ROBBED.
Home of Charles c. Brown is Entered
by Burglars.

Another burglary has been added to
the list of similar crimes committed in
the city; and on Wednesday afternoon
some unknown person or persons en-
tered the residence of Charles G. r0wn
ON Chicago street and rummaged the
house from collar to garrett in search Of
valuables. The robbery was commit
ted between 3 ana o'clock and at the
time there was no one in the house.
Mrs. Brown was visiting at the home of
a neighbor and the servant girl had
gone over on the north side for visit
to some friends.
The burglars gained an entrance to
the house by opening the rear door
with skeleton key. They were only
in the house few moments. but they
were evidently acquainted with the lay
of the land and made thorough
search in comparatively short time.
Mrs. Brown returned few minutes
later and found the house turned
topsy turvy and bureau drawers with
their contents emptied upon the floor.
The men were evidently looking for
either jewels or money and left many
other things untouched.
They managed to secure, as ar as
can be astertained, a number of pieces
of valuable jewelry belonging to Mr..
and Mrs. Brown and several pieces OF
small value belonging to the servants.
The case was at once reported to the
police, and as they think that the
burglary was the work of local talent
they have high hopes of locating and
arresting the offenders This burglary
is directly in line with long series of
petty robberies which have been COM
mitted in Kenosha during the past few
weeks and confirms the statement that
an organized gang is working in Keno
sha to such an extent that it is not
safe for citizens to leave their homes
even in broad daylight.

Behind the memorial hall will be
built two smaller rooms for the use of
the librarian and assistants. The
scheme of the architect also plans for
such improvement of the park as will
make it fit place for the placing of
such building. The curb around the
park is to be completed and the entire
park laid out with broad walks leading
from the library in every direction.
The architect says that such classic
building demands formal design for
the grounds about it. The pavements
are to be made of pebbles imbedded in
cement and all will lead to the main
entrance Another feature of the park
decoration will be the erection of
band stand in harmony with the main
features of the library building. This
smaller building will be placed about
three hundred feet from the main
building and the design will be made
by Mr.. Bnrnham.
According to Mr.. Simmons contract
with Mr.. Burnham the library is to be
ready for dedication by Sept. LIST.

ments. He moved that the House
suspend the rules and adopt his report.
By such motion he prevented any
motion to concur, as no amendments
are allowed to a motion TO suspend the
rules. 1t was the only chance of get
ting the bill out of the rivers and har
bors committee, where it would be left
as dead as a door nail unless this mo-
ton were adopted, and the friends of
the bill accepted it as the only chance
left to get the bill out of the hands of a
committee bent on killing it if neces
sary in order to kill the Nicaragua
canal bill. The motion was agreed to
and the bill was sent to conference.
Speaker Reed then made another
move in making UP the conference
committee which showed that he was
ready to ignore all presidents to carry
out his purpose of defeating the canal
amendment. Representative Cooper
of Wisconsin, is an earnest friend of
the canal and the senior member of the
committee on rivers and harbors. Ac-
cording to the precedent Mr.. Cooper
should have been promoted to chair
man of the committee, when Chairman
Hooker resigned, two months ago, to
accept place on the bench IN New
York. But Mr.. Reed did not want Mr..
Cooper at the head of this important
committee, because he is not subser-

The rundown tor Cooper in the con
test for chairman did not, however,
Justify the Speaker in again ignoring
him in making up the conference COM
mittee for the House. Mr.. Cooper, as
the senior member of the committee
and the second to the chairman, was
entitled by all presidents to a place on
the conference committee. but he is in
favor of building the Nicaragua canal,
not simply Investigating, and Speaker
Reed again ignored him and appointed
as House conferees Chairman Burton
and Representative Reeves of Illinois,
who is opposed to the Senate amend
ment appropriating $115, 00O, 600 for
the canal, as is Mr.. Brown as we'll as
Mr.. Catchings of Mississippi, Demo
cratic member of the committee.
Speaker Reed can depend upon these
three men to stand by the House bill
and resist the Senate amendments.
They have, however, three very de-
termined men from the Senate to ran
against. These are Senators Frye,
Elkins and White, all said to be deter
mined to secure some recognition for
the bill. The cOnferees held two
meetings today, but did not settle any
of the disputed points. They will take
up the canal amendment tomorrow.

OF course Germany is friendly and
has been all along. Appearances may
have been against her, but anybody
with any sense could read between the
lines, so to speak, and clearly discern
a surprising love of Uncle Sam behind
all of Germany's demonstrations in the
Philippines. Until recently native
modesty has undoubtedly prevented
her from coming out flatfooted with
any such declaration, but when Uncle
Sam showed his reciprocation Of tend
ernces by sending the finest ship in his
navy way across tbs ocean for Ger
many's sake, who could have done less
than Germany did.

LORD HIGH ExECUTIoNER REED
has his ak raised over the Rivers and
Harbors bill. By a ruling he estab-
lished yesterday he has paved the way
for the defeat Of the canal rider even If
it necessitates killing the whole bill.
The Senate representatives are un-
willing to yield anything On the Near
aqua Canal until the House, by sepa-
rate vote on this amendment, has voted
it down. In that case, and no other,
they have signifed their willingness to
eliminate this item from the Rivers and
Harbors bill. But Speaker Reeds
we'll known hostility to the amend
ment, together with his ruling in the
naval appropriation bill render those
conditions useless and an agreement
exceedingly dubious.

building he has ever designed. The
designer followed closely the sugges-
tons of Mr.. Simmons in regard to the
general form of the building. 1t will
follow the Grecian style of architecture
and will be grand in it's simplicity. 1t
will consist of one story and basement,
built of limestone from the famous
Bedford quarries. The finishing of the
structure will be largely in marble and
bronze. The building will be placed
as near as possible in the center of the
park, facing north and will rest on a
terrace of cut stone 166 feet in length
and 1913 wide and following the general
form of the building. This terrace,
acting as it does as a foundation tor
the building, will stand about five feet
above the surface level.
The building will be in the shape Of
a cross and over the center large
dome will be built, which adds great
beauty to the structure. The editice
proper will be 1872 feet long, II feet in
width and 81 feet high from the base
to the top of the dome. The ground
floor will be basement, extending the
entire length and breadth of the
library room. This room is designed
by Mr.. Simmons as an assembly room
and can be used for gatherings OF clubs
and small assemblages. The seating
capacity of the assembly room will be
about 300 people.
The library floor proper will be
reached by nine broad cut stone steps
leading from the terrace. The entrance
will be through bronze doors into a
vestibule on either side of which ample
space is designed for the placing OF
objects of art, such as statuary. Beside
the vestibule the library proper will
consist of FIVE rooms.
In the center of this will be the me-
mortal hall, which will be one OF the
most beautiful features of the building.
1t will be circular in shape and thirty
feet in diameter. The height to the
spring of the dome will be thirty four
feet. The circular lower cornice of the
dome is carried by eight marble
Ionic columns and their intervening
piers. Above this is to be an orna-
mental dome thirty feet in diameter
and twenty eight feet in length. Be-
tween the dome and the hall is an
ornamental freize affording four large
and four small panels for paintings.
The dome itself will be painted by a
noble master of art to be selected by
Mr.. Burnham. All the interior of the
memorial hall will be of marble. To
the right of the memorial hall will be
the stock room, in which the books
will be kept. The room will be built of
tinted vitriied brick with glass floors
and fitted with three tiers of steel
stacks made to furnish room for from
fifty to sixty thousand books.
The reading room on the left of the
memorial hall like the stock room in
dimensions will be fifty By thirty feet
and will have its windows raised eight
feet above the floor, thus giving the
best source of light required and leav-
ing the broad and simple eXpanse of
wall necessary for a quiet, classic
effect The windows will be high
enough from the floor to leave ample
room for hanging pictures below them.
The ceiling OF the reading room will be
coffered and decorated in rich color.

THE Sagasta Cabinet has resigned.
The crisis is due to the probability felt
by Sagasta that the opposition ex-
pressed by the Cortes ever since the
signing of the treaty, to the cession of
the Philippines would result in the
defeat of that instrument. What will
be the result of the resignation of the
Sagasta Cabinet? If the opposition
manifested toward the ratification was
sufficient to bring about the resigna-
ton of Sagasta's Cabinet, there is good
reason to believe that ratification will
suffer in the hands OF the new Cabinet.
But what Spain can hope to gain by
defeating the treaty passes comprehen-
sion. The United States mas given
ample evidence of the fact that she
expects to remain in possession of the
Philippines so long as the best good OF
all concerned requires. That purpose
Spain can in 70 wise alter. At present
the terms of the treaty, outside of the
cession of the Philippines, are entirely
favorable to Spain. At another time
it is not at all likely that such terms
would be given. The clause providing
Tor the payment to Spain of 500, 600, 600
would not appear in another treaty.
This would probably be her loss if she
insisted upon defeating the peace
treaty in the hope of eliminating the
cession of the Philippines.
