Handsome New Quarters of n Pro.

The Canadian Pacific Railway has open

The rooms are finished in rich mahogany

There are pictures OF the Lakes in the

The Canadian Pacific is making strong
bids for public favor as the new highway
between the Occident and the Orient, car
rying freight and passengers from points
on the Canadian Atlantic coast to the
China and Japan. The equipment of the
Canadian Pacific is unexcelled and it owns

The siberian RAILWAY,

Berlin dispatch to the London Telegraph.)
report on the Siberian Railway, just
published, shows that, despite unfavorab!e
climatic and geographical conditions the
construction OF the line makes better prog
ress than has ever been attained on any
other large railway In Russia. 1t must, of
course be remembered that the construc-
tion was begun simultaneously in several
places. The following is the record for
various sections Of the line during the last
year: Central Siberian section, 3S7 kilo-
metres; Irkutsk- Baikal section, 6s kilome-
tres; Trans -Baikal section, 1877 kilometres;
Ussuri Chinese Eastern line, lis kilome-
tres, and Western section, 33S kilometres,
or total of nearly eleven hundred kiIo-
metres. Only fifth of the entire line re-
mains to be completed. The total length
of all the bridges is no less than twenty
six kilometres. The bridge over the
Yenissei is not exceeded in length by any
other in the world. Its cost is computed
at 22S0. 900 rubles.
The Trans Baikal line. OH account of the
extensive stone and earth works, and the
necessity of clearing forests, entailed con-
siderable expense. At present the second
stretch of the Central Siberian line is
worked, while from Nertchinsk to Street
insk, and again from Irkutsk to Lake
Baikal from Nikolskoje, on the Ussuri
line, to the Chinese frontier, and from the
Cana to Viatka, traffic is only opened tenn
porarily for the present. The winter har-
Dor at Blagoveschinsk has been completed.
1t is reported from the Ussuri line that
numbers Of mechanics and hundreds of tel
egraphers. bookkeepers, clerks and artisans
are needed there. The laying of the Man
churia line absorbs most OF the men fit
for this work.

AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Cancellation OF BrishtwOd Avenu
Water Assersmcntn.

Cancellation Of Brishtwod Avenue
Water Assessmcnts.
hearing was today granted by the
District Commissioners to Malcolm HUFF
ty, attorney for Michael White, who de-
sires cancellation of certain reassess-
ments made against property along Bright
wood Avenue for water main. The
property of White is located in what is
known as Wright and Dole's subdivision.
and includes lots 80, 101, 102. 103, 104,
against which the reassessments were
made.
The original assessment against the
property was made in 1894, but was quash-
ed through the decision of the Supreme
Court OF the District in the Burgdorf case.
Last year the District reassessed the
property claiming the right to do SO under
the provisions Of the act of July 8, 1888,
which authorized them to reassess prop
erty in the District for the purpose of COL
lecting water main taxes.
The conference today was in many re-
spects an important one. Whatever action
the Commissioners take in the matter wi l
be of prime Importance to all property
owners along Brightwood Avenue, from
Florida to Whitney Avenues, distance of
about mile as II will establish prece-
dent under which they may or may not
have to pay reassessments for the water
main.
1t appears that the water main was not
laid by the District government, but was
purchased by the District from the Jud-
son Pneumatic Railroad Company in Sep
tember, 1893. The railroad company laid
the main in 1891 in connection with an
experiment which was made at that time.
1t is claimed by Attorney Hufty that the
District has no authority to make either an
assessment or reassessment against the
Brightwood Avenue property owners on
account of the main, because the law PRO
vides that assessments should be made
within thirty days after the laying OF the
main. whereas in the case in question 1t
was not made until March l, 1894, two years
after the laying of the main.
1t is asserted that the property owners
obtain an advantage from the main in the
use of water, and the Commissioners
maintain that they are not overstepping
their authority in making the reassess-
Of 1898, requiring that reassessments be
made. 1t is understood that the Commits
sioners have referred the matter to their
attorney. No decision will be reached by
them, in that event. until after they have
been legally advised by that officer on the
matter.

New York, May s.-The stock market
opened with the dealings in large volumes
and with a great deal orPressure for both
accounts apparent in the dealing. Declines
of over one point were common throughout
the market, and in some instances this
loss was substantially extended.

deals showed a decline Of three points
from Saturdays closing price. but part Of
this loss was quickly recovered and the
declines In the Changers. Pacific stocks
and other standard issues extended to
about one point. Losses of two points
and over were common in the Industrial
quarter.
The market opened without any particu-
lar news Of importance, and the morning s
weakness seemed to be chiefly due to the
shock to speculative sentiment furnished
by the heavy decrease In the banks sur
plus reserves. shown in their statement of
Saturday. The London market for Ameri-
can stocks was shown at slight advances
over the local closing level Of Saturday,
but an uneasy tone was reported there ow-
ing to fears of complications in South
Africa. Manhattan Railway, Sugar, and
Consolidated Gas were exceptions to the
general tendency of the market and were
in comparatively good demand. The trad
ing after the opening continued very fe-
verish and the tone Of the market varied

FOURTH IMMUuES
AGAIN DELAYED
Not Likely to Leave Cuba for
a Month Yet.
The Transport Logan Needed for
Other Service.
Washington In a BOdy-A
Public Welcome.

The Homecoming of the Fourth Immune
Regiment. now performing garrison duty
at Manzanillo. Cuba, has again been delay
ed. Especial interest is manifested IN the
District in the departure of this regiment
for the United States. owing to the fact
that two companies in the organization
were recruited In the District of Colum-
bia.
1t was announced at the War Depart
ment several days ago that the regiment
would be relieved at Manzanillo by the
Tenth United States Cavalry, and that it
would proceed within the next two weeks
for New York on board the transport Lo-
gan, thence to Camp Meade to be mus
tered out of the service.
1t was said at the Quartermaster De-
partment this morning that the Logan,
which is now at Manzanillo, where she
carried a detachment of the Tenth Cavalry.
will return to Galveston to transport the
remainder of that regiment to Cuba before
returning with the Fourth Immunes. The
department says that there is no other
Fourth Immunes, and that it will be neces-
sary for 1t to remain at Manzanillo until
the Tenth has been landed there in its
entirety. The Logan is now on its way to
Galveston from Cuba and as soon as che
arrives at the latter port she will take
the Tenth on board with all possible ex-
pedition in order that the homecoming of
the Fourth may be hastened.
1t is possible that the Fourth will not
arrive in New York for at least month
yet. According to the present plans of
the department the regiment will be sent
to Camp Meade to be muster
ed out.
The two companies from the District will
return to Washington in body. after be-
ing mustered out. Arrangements will be
made to give them a public welcome The
regiment is under the command OF Colonel
Petit, who is a major in the regular army

The Empress Elixabeth's Garden.
fI,,

When the late Empress Elizabeth was
staying at Nauheim the Empress Fred
erick, on visit to her, gave her vivid
description Of her garden at Friedrichshof.
near Cronberg, which had been laid out
according to her own ideas. 1t is longer
than 1t is broad. and is enclosed by high
wall, in which there is scrupulous niche
and fountain, like these we see in the Old
World gardens Of Central Italy. On either
side Of the garden an immense pergola runs
from the house to the wall. lofty and
light and overgrown entirely with roses
Malmaison, Marechal Neil, Noisette, and
others. The garden is laid out in terraces
and with the exception of a
broad middle avenue and a lawn
before the house, is planted with
rose trees of all kinds and all colors. The
Empress Frederick gave the Empress
photographs of this garden, which she
sent to the Emperor, asking him whether
he did not think the idea charming, and
whether he had any objection to her having
a similar garden laid out at Lainz. She
never had definite answer to that letter.
and now the Emperor has given orders
that the garden at Lainz Is to be laid out
exactly like that of Friedrichshof without
delay, as the realization of perhaps the
last wish the Empress ever expressed.
By next spring the gardens Of Lainx will
be as the Empress would have wished to
see them.
