Library nuilding plans.

District Commissioners Ross and Beach
and Mr.. Theodore w. Noyes, president Of
the board of trustees of the Washington
Public Library, members of the library
commission, met at the District building
today for the purpose of further discuss
ing certain minor changes suggested as to
the interior arrangement Of the library
building, which is to be erected on Mount
Vernon Square with funds donated by Mr..
Andrew Carnegie. 1t is understood that the
plans. as prepared by Messrs. Alderman q
Ross of New York, have been approved by
the commission, far they relate to
the exterior of the building, the general
features of the original plan being, it is
said, preserved. The minor interior changes
suggested to the commission will be made
in the plans at once by the architects, and,
while the commission does not care to eX-
press any opinion as to the date which
proposals for the construction of the build
ing can be invited, yet it is stated that the
act of Congress requiring the work of con-
struction to be commenced within one year
from the date of its passage, March },
1899, will be obeyed

the Hawaiian government will be disputed
The lands in question are recently sur

IMPROVING PEARL HARROR.
Necessary Real Estate May BE Con.
demned for Government Use

Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau oe
equipment, and Gen. Wilson, chief of en-
gneers, have been in consultation respect
ing the improvement of Pearl harbor Ha-
wall, with view to the establishment of a
naval station there, as directed by Con-
greSs An unexpected and serious obstacle
to the execution OF the plans of the two de-
partments has been encountered in the
shape of refractory real estate holders
who, iii the opinion of the officials here
are seeking TO practice eXtortion upon the
government in the matter of the price de-
manded by them for the lands which the
government must have for the naval sta
ton. Having exhausted all other prooar
methods to protect the governments inter
ests in this case, the officials have deter
mined now to proceed to acquire the nee
essary lands through condemnation pro-
ceedings having satisfied themselves that
that can be accomplished through the Ha-
waiian laws as they stand today
The Navy Department has just received
the detailed survey of Pearl harbor made
last year by the Bennington. 1t is far
more complete than anything before under
taken. and one result of study of that
survey has been to satisfy the engineer of
ncers that a good deal of work must be
done In Strengthening the channels connect
ing the harbor with the sea that was not
-oreseen when the project vas laid down.
