WORLDS RECORD BROKEN.
Pennsylvania University Athletes
New Broad Jump Mark.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The twenty
fourth annual athletic meeting under the
auspices of the Intercollegiate Amateur
Athletic Association to determine the in
tercollegiate championship at field and
track events began this afternoon on
Manhattan field, where it will be conclud-
ed tomorrow, the trials having taken up
the time to-day.
One worlds record was smashed. This
was on the running broad jump, and A.
c. Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania, who had
acquitted himself cleverly earlier in the
afternoon by winning his high and low
hurdle trials, was the one who did the
trick. On his first jump the Pennsylva-
nian covered % feet 1912 inches, but
eclipsed his own worlds record of "a feet
31a inches on his second attempt, covering
"a feet Az inches. There was some doubt
as to whether his jump was a worlds rec
ord, but Father Bill Curtis dispelled
this by asserting that Newburn's jump of
"a feet ga inches, made at Mullingar. Ire
land. was not accepted by the Irish or
English associations.
Pennsylvania has certainly the best
chance for the honors, and except some
thing happens to disable her representa-
tives the intercollegiate trophy will re-
main in the University of Pennsylvania
for another year. Representatives of
Pennsylvania, Princeton, Harvard, Yale,
Columbia, Cornell, Syracuse and George
town are competing.

A BLUNDcR OF CONGRESS
Dang erouS Location of New Depari.
menf of Justice Building

Washington, Aug. 25.-The new
building of the department of justice
which is to be erected just opposite
the White House will be the only i'm
portant public building in the United
Str5es which is not separated from
other structures by a distance of at
least forty feet. In the last twenty
years congress has authorized the
erection Of 223 public buildings In
al but nine of the bills a provision
was inserted that no other structure
should be within a distance of forty
feet; but in many instances the dis
tance was extended to fifty feet. In
the nine cases where no such prohibi-
ton was inserted it was unnecessary.
owing to the fact that the building
was to occupy a whole square or else
to be on a designated site where no
others could interfere. The depaT1-
ment OF justice building is the sole
exception in the long list.
Congress blundered in the first
place in allowing it to t-e constructed
in square containing other buildings
On one side of it Immediately adjoias
an inf1ammable structure which in
turn adjoins a nest of fire traps.
On the other side, fortunately, is the
Lafayette opera house, which is as
nearly fireproof as anything can be.
The blunder of congress is emphasized
in the plans now under consideration,
which includes an interior court By
allowing for this interior court the
exterior walls will have to be pushed
close up to the buildings adjoining on
each side. There will be a distance of
less than eight feet between the de-
priceless public records, and inflamma-
bic office buildings. In case of a fire
it VIII be absolutely out of the ques-
tion TO take any measures for the pro-
lection Cf the department. 1t will be
impossible to raise ladders or intro
duce hose 10 fight the fire At all
times light and air will be cut off from
two sides of the structure. Practical
builders are urging on the attorney
general the unwisdom of carrying out
the plans, which he is understood to
favor, and he has Leen asked to aban-
don the interior court, so as to leave
room for the protection of the build
ing on the sides. If he persists in the
present plan he has been told that ne
is clearing the way for a catastrophe.

THE PHILIPPINES POLICY
Briefly Announced by fhc President
at Ocean Grove, N. J.

Ocean Grove, n. J., Aug. 25.-Presi-
dent Mckinley in a speech here this
afternoon said: I believe there is
more love for our country and more
people love the flag then ever before.
Wherever the flag is raised it stands
not for despotism and oppression, but
for liberty and opportunity and hu-
manity, and what that flag has done
for us we want it to do fer all the
peoples and for all the lands which by
fortune of war have come within its
jurisdiction.
THAT flag does not mean one thing
in the United States and another in
Porto Rico and the Philippines. There
has been some doubt in some quarters
respecting the policy of the govern
ment in the Philippines 1 see no
harm in stating it in this presence:
Peace first, then with charity for all,
10 establish a government of law and
order, protecting life and property and
occupation for the well being of the
people who will participate in it un-
der the stars and stripes.
