The Minneapolis Journal opposed
the Anderson bill fodr years ago
and since, but urged the passage Of
the Jacobson bill this winter by
which the railroads would have
psid 800, 900 a year more taxes.
This is the bill that was defeated
~ one vote in the senate, and
Senator Buchanan contributed, or
at least deliv cred, that vote in op.
position to the bill. In referring
to the Anderson and Jacobson
bills, the Minneapolis Journal says:

Just returned from Manila, has
been talking too much. He has
repeatedly told Of the trouble be-
tween Dewey and Diedrich at
at Manila, and emphasized the
warlike message the American
admiral sent to the German officer.
1t is part Of history that the Ger.
man ships ignored, in an un.
pleasant manner, Dewey's regula-
irons regarding the blockade Of
Manila bay. A decidedly sharp
demand was sent BY Dewey that
the German officer obey the regu-
lations or prepare for war. The
regulations were thereafter obeyed.
But it is,hardly the proper thing
for American officers to he con-
tinually repeating the call down
that Dewey gave the German.

NEED OF STREET SIGNS.
Question Raised by the Citizens of
lexington.

At a recent meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the North Capitol and lexington
Citizens Association, Mr. A Q. Tins'ey.
the secretary of the association, was in
structed to call the attention Of the Dis
trict Commissioners to the urgent neces-
sity of having signs, designating the names
of streets, placed at the intersections of
thoroughfares in that section Mr. Ting
ley did so, stating that strangers are UNI
able to discover where they are when they
pass east of Lincoln avenue, and he cited
number of instances where the names OF
the streets are not posted, asking that the
Commissioners give the matter early atten-
ton.
According to reports made to the Com
missioners by the superintendent OF lamps
and the electrical engineer, the matter OF
designating streets in lexington has been
under Amusement for some time. but under
the present system of incandescent lighting
no practicable sign and holder have been
found which is suitable. The Commission
ers were informed that, owing to the con-
ditions which existed about a year ago, and
to the protest of certain citizens in the sec
ton. who claimed that the discontinuance
or the public fncandescent lamps would so
increase the cost to the lighting company
of supplying the few lights used for private
purposes the company would be unable to
furnish lights at all. the question of plac-
ing gas lamps in lexington was dropped.
But 1t appears from the reports made to
the Commissioners that the conditions have
since changed materially, the continuance
of the private lighting by electricity no
longer depending upon the maintenance of
the public incandescent lamps. The plac-
ing of streets signs on the gas lamps is the
best method of designating the streets, so
the Commissioners are informed and 1t is
stated that the signs for gas lamps In Eek
fngton were bought about a year ago and
are now on hand in the property yard of
the District, awaiting the erection of the
lamps
IT Is also stated that it is proposed to
erect about 112 of these gas iamps in FOX
lamps.

LECTURE ON JAPAN,
Description of Habits and Customs of
the PeonIe.

the People.
Prof. Alexander Graham Bell delivered a
lecture or Japan before the National Geo
graphic Society at the Congregational
Church last evening. Prof. Bell visited
Japan last fall and spent two months there
The lecture was illustrated with views TAX
en- by him during his trip. Yokohama, To-
kio, Nikko and other places were interest
ingly described
Prof. Bell commented especially upon the
absence of animal life in Japan. There
were, he said, no horses nor cows, and the
only sheep that he saw were in the ZOO
logical gardens, where they were looked
upon as great curiosites. The absence of
almost every kind of animal had peculiar
result upon the agricultural country and
the character of food found In Japan.
There were no fields of hay, nor were the
many grains raised in other countries
found, except in small quantities, the ma
tlVes SubsiSting almost entirely upon rice,
shrimps, and sliced raw fish. Milk, butter,
mon articles of the table found in most
lands were absent from the tray upon
which the Japanese meals were served.
He commended many customs he found
in Japan. He thought their permanent
census system, by which the population la
given each year, is worthy to be copied by
this country, as is also the plan Of the
National University of Japan. Any young
man who can pass the entrance examina-
ton can secure a loan sufficient to carry
him through the university. He referred
to the trees planted by Gen. and Mrs.
Grant in Nagasak Park, in 1870, and said
the one planted by Gen. Grant had dried

THE NEW STAR BUILDING.
Plaster Model Exhibition in Bus
mess Office Window

A plaster OF paris model of the new
building to be occupied by The Evening
Star at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue
and 18th street has been placed on view in
the display window of the temporary busi-
less office of the paper, No. 1903 Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Beautifully worked out in
all the details of the architectural splendor
to be ultimately observed in The Stars new
nome, the model Is one of rare interest and
attractiveness. Since it was placed in posi-
ton yesterday the immaculate white min
iature building has been viewed by thou
sands. Not pedestrian but stops to gaze
for a moment at least upon the work. The
model, In its forecast of the building, which
Will soon be erected, has been the subject
of universal admiration, none but flatterng
comments being heard.
The work on the model was done by z.
Garet, the sculptor, of 1920 G street north
west from the drawings of William ].
Marsh and Walter G.. Peter associate
architects. 1t IS complete so far as the ex-
terror view of the new building is concerned,
with the exception that the bronze ratings
and ornaments to mark the finished build
ing do not appear in the model. An excel
lent idea of The Stars building is con-
veyed. however, the sculptor having been
faithful to the plans in every line of his
work. The many points of strength and
beauty of construction in the building are
feet In heighth and is in width and length
in proportion. The plaster modelling, Of
brilliant whiteness. is mounted upon
slab of marble and rests upon pedestal
draped in dull green. The entire window
is fitted in plush of the same color, and
the effect is decidedly attractive.
The style of architecture selected for the
new building and shown to such advantage
in the model has been the subject of the
highest praise. All who have seen the
model agree that the building will not alone
be one of the handsomest in this city of
grand governmental structures, but will
surpass in nearly every respect any build
ing of a private corporation south of New
York.
The building will be the finest and most
complete of its size that can be devised by
the brainest architects and authorities on
modern construction America boasts. AS
the model illustrates, the style of archi-
lecture Is of the French renaissance school,
In some of the forms Of this class the ten
characterization, but in this instance such
details have been kept In proper subordina-
ton and are employed only where they will
enrich and free the masses of the walls
from a monotonous effect of unrelieved
spaces. The white model was rightly
chosen, for the building will be constructed
largely f carefully selected marble.
The model will remain on exhibition for
some time, and will be q source of interest
to all Washington. This has already been
demonstrated by those who have crowded
the space about the window during this
morning and yesterday afternoon. There Is
every evidence of the keen apprecia ton felt
by the people in The Stars enterprise.

Brings Suit for Divorce,

Mrs. Annie V. H. Gibson, who had her
husband arrested a few days ago upon the
charge of infidelity, has followed that action
with suit for divorce. Mrs Gibson is rep
resented by Attorneys Douglass & Doug

states that her husband, Charles A Gibson,
has an income from his salary at the House
OF Representatives and from other sources
amounting to at least s., 200 a year. She
states that she was married to the re-
sEondent in Portsmouth, Va, in 1878. In
her petition she alleges infidelity on his
part. Mrs. Gibson sued for divorce from,
her husband about year ago. it is stated.
but the suit failed.
