ALWAYS FAVORED 1T,

senators Frye and Lodge Advocate
the Avenue for Public Buildings.
Il have always been in favor Of placing
our public buildings along the south side
or Pennsylvania avenue" said Senator
Frye, president pro TEN. of the Senate, to-
day. Il would not only favor having Con-
gress acquire the land on the south side of
the avenue for this purpose, but would
include In the prospective sites for public
buildings all that portion of the avenue
near the Capitol which is occupied by small
buildings, say everything on the north side
between AZ street and the Capitol
Il have always thought that much dam
age had been done to the city of Washington
by the massing of buildings between the
man and Pennsylvania avenue" said Sena-
tor Lodge today. There should be only
public buildings and parks from the avenue
to the mall. l have always believed in
that policy. Whether ii is possible to secure
this change now, in view of the valuable
real estate in the form of buildings in this
section, do not know. l am utterly op-
posed to placing any more public buildings
on government reservations. This project
for utilizing the sites on the south side of
the avenue for public buildings should have
been begun long ago."

BUFFALO, N. Y, February Oscar F.
Williams. former United States consul at
Manila, delivered an address here last
evening on the Philippine question. In
summing up he said that there had been a
great deal OF misunderstanding Oh both
sides, but declared that 1t was not fear OF
the American government that prevented
Aguinaldo from surrendering. As an ed
ucated man. he said, the rebel leader knew
enough Of history to be, assured that he
need never expect death at the hands OF
the Americans after surrsndering.
But. he said, Aguinaldo was in fear of
death. shouid he surrender, from his own
people. He had promised them that he
would secure for them full and unlimited
freedom and Independence. and should he
surrender to the American forces he would
undoubtedly receive q creese in the back
from some fanatical native who would be-
lieve that Aguinaldo had allowed himself
to be bought by the Americans.

Adrices From SterkstrOom Say They

Come From Two Directions.
LONDON, February IA dispatch from
Sterkstroom, dated this morning. announces
that the Beers are attacking General Cat
acre from two directions, Firing was then
proceeding between the outposts. de-
iayed Sterksroom dispatch, dated Monday,
February 8, says that a body of troops left
the camp February 3, and that important
developments were expected.
1t is quite probable that this explains
Lord Roberts departure, and that the COM
mander-in-chief wishes either to be present
at or supervise the long-intended move
ment by Gen. Gatacre to join forces with
Gen. Kelly-kenny, and thence strongly re-
inforce Gen. French, completing the latter's
work at Colesberg and establishing without
fear Of serious opposition the advanced po-
sition for the main movement. This, of
course. Is greatly supposition, and 1t can
be confidently said that the departure of
Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener for the
front does not indicate that the main ad-
vance has begun The commanders will
probably be back in Cape Town within a
short time 1t is pointed out that the term
going TO the front must not be interpreted
into the idea that a great movement upon
Pretoria, by way of Bloemfontein, has seri-
ously commenced. 1t will be a month, or
perhaps much longer. before this can be
brought about. In the meanwhile. the pre-
huinary steps are likely to enliven the
campaign with sharp fighting. and news
from Sterkstroorn, Thebus and Colesberg is

ONCE Increased.
Joint resolution was reported from the
committee on printing to the United States
Senate today providing for increasing the
limit Of cost of the new government print
ing office. and was promptly passed. This
increase of cost Is to meet the increased

of making the south end Of the power house
extension Of the same height as the main
building.
The joint resolution increases the limit of
cost by 1923 eco, the original limit of cost
being 50 coo 600. About half of the fncreas-
ed cost of the building provided for is for
the increased cost of material, the other
half of the additional amount being for in

the people Of this commonwealth for a free
