 Our belief in the possibility of the success of Mr. Bryan has been growing every day since the ad- iournment of the Kansas City con- vention; in that assemb!age eViden- ces of a united party were plain and manifest; the great popularity of the Nebraskan lowered above all other features com bined, and the slight and well unders stood reference to the money question brushed away the last remnant of 6iscord, and at the same time sustained the right of the majority to commit the party to any course of action that they chose.

M E M ORAL BRIDGE
Report of Board of Engineers on the
Plans Submitted.
INDORSED BY SECRETARY OF WAR
Suggestion That Two Designs Be
Merged Into One
E S 7 | Nj A 7 Z S OF cos T

The proposition for the construction of
bridge over the Potomac river from this
city to the Arlington estate, las memorial
to American patriotism, received decided
impetus today when the Secretary of War
submitted to both houses of Congress n
copy of the report of the board of en-
gineers and architects appointed by him to
select a suitable design for the structure.
The board was composed of Lieut.. Col
Charles ]. Allen, Maj. Thomas W. Sy-
mons and Capt. David Dub. Gaillard, all
of the corps of engineers. L. S. A; Mr..
Stanford White of New York and Mr.. Jas.
G. Hill of this city. the last two named
being architects of acknowledged standing
in their profession. Four distinguished
bridge engineers submitted designs for the
proposed bridge, and it was the duty of the
board to consider these designs and deter
mine their order of merit.
The designs We're the work of Messrs
George S. Morrison. Lcffert l.. Buck Will
lam II. Burr and William H. Hutton all
Os New York city. These gentlemen were
especially invited by the Secretary of War
to compete for the honor of designing the
proposed memorial bridge.
Mr.. Morrison is one of the most promt-
nent bridge engineers in this country He
has designed and built some of the largest
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-04-09

built across the East river between Brook
Ign and New York.
Mr. Hutton is a skillful and accomplished
bridge engineer, who has had an extended
experience in construction. He was chief
engineer of the Washington bridge over the
Harlem river, a steel arch structure and
one of the largest and finest of its kind in
the world.
Mr.. Burr is~a bridge engineer of recog
nized authority, and is the author of stand
ard works on bridge construction and the
strength of materials. He was formerly
professor of civil engineering in the RenS-
selaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y.
and afterward chief engineer of the Phoe-
nix Bridge Company, which has constructed
many important railway and highway
bridges. He is now professor of civil en-
cheering, Columbia College, New York,
and is also member of the isthmian canal
commission.
Buck was assisted by Mr.. w. H. Brett
haupt, consulting engineer and Carrere &
Hastings. and Walker & Morris, archi-
tects; Mr.. Burr by Mr. Edward P. Casey,
architect; Mr.. Morrison, by Mr.. William
Emerson, architect, and Mr.. w. F. Smith,
engineer.
Report of the Board.
The report of the board of engineers and
architects is an elaborate document. 1t
gives a brief history of the movement,
which began in 1856, for the construction of
Guiding all the legislation and plans to that
end. This review includes brief descrip-
ton of the plans submitted by Col. Haines
in 1856. by Major Symons shortly after
ward and by Major c. f. l.. b. Davis in
1892 and shows that they all failed of legis-
tive enactment.
With two exceptions, the designs consid-
cred, prior to 1897, were for ordinary traffic
bridges that is, bridges not OF memorial
character, the suoerstructures of all the
bridges considered, however, to be of iron
or steel, the proposed widths of roadways
to range from "A to 40 feet and the widths
proposed for sidewalks, each, ranging from
s to 10 feet.
The cost of material and labor upon
which the estimates Were then based the
board says, can hardly be satisfactorily
compared with the high prices of today for
most building material. or with the cost of
labor of today. The demands for bridge
capacity of the large and growing city of
Washington of today greater than
would have been those of ten to fifteen
years ago.

Decision as to Order of Merit,
The report details the steps taken by the
board to secure designs and describes each
OF the seven designs received. To quote
from the report:
decision as to the order of merit of
designs presented by the distinguished en-
gineer competitors, assisted by distinguished
architects necessarily required much con-

The requirements of the specifications

The low price of Mr.. Norison's estimates
is evidently largely due to- the skeleton
steel construction for the approaches the
absence of massive towers and decorative
features and the use of limestone in the
arches. The fact that Mr. Burr's estimates
are lower than the others of similar char
acter is mainly accounted for by the use
of the Mean system, supplemented by
structural steel spandrel work. and the
greater length of the earthen embankment
on the Arlington approach.
Mr.. Hutton's estimates are readily &C
counted for by the materials proposed and
the decorative features used
The high amount of Mr. Bucks estimates
Is evidently largely due to the amount and
character of the decorative work and the
fact that granite masonry is SO largely
proposed.
A complete comparison of the unit prices
Tor materials in pace adopted by the vari-
Gus competitors is very difficult to make on
account of the differences in the materials
and grades of the same required by the
various designs and the different methods
of estimating employed. e. g., materials
like sand-beton, cork brick paving. etc. are
found in but one estimate. Again, three
dl1erent grades of concrete, four distinct
grades or the same general class of ma
sorry, etc, are frequently met with in the
same estimate. Some of the estimates in
ciude the cost of false works in the price
for the arches. The cost of engineering
and superintendent is included in the items
In some of the estimates whereas in 9TH
ers such items are given separately.
A tabulation and general comparison Of
these prices with each other and with those
employed in this office has been made and
no important differences have been noted.
1t goes without saying that each of the
estimates, based upon the competitors own
method of estimating is accepted as cor
rect, the analysis of the same by the board
being only for the purpose of making COM
parsons.
Mr.. Rurr's Plan First.
After full consideration of the various
plans for the proposed bridge and ap-
proaches, including the architectural fea-
tures ornamentation and cost, the board
places the comparative merits Of the de-
signs as follows:

son.
And recommends that the sums pertaining

De paid to the respective competitors.
While 1t would be desirable, in the alb
stract, to exclude street cars from bridge
to be erected as a memorial, the board rec
ognizes the advantage and probable neces-
sity to the locality, of a provision for such

Weather conditions and general forecast
The center of the disturbance which has
occupied the southwestern state since last
Monday has shifted position to the north
ward. and is central this morning over
southwestern Kansas, its northward ad-
vance being followed by clearing weather
in Texas.
The phenomenally heavy rains in Texas
during Thursday night, Friday and Satur-
day were due to the remarkable and I'M
usual persistence Of this low area over that
section, and to the same cause is due the
prevalence of fine weather over the eastern
part of the country. During this period
unsettled weather has prevailed from the
Rocky mountains to the Pacific coast, with
low temperature and rain or snow in the
middle and northern Rocky mountain
region.
Since Saturday rain has occurred In the
middle, western and northwestern states,
and an area of cloudiness and local rains
have extended over the east gulf states
Kentucky and Tennessee.
During the next thirty-siX hours the
weather conditions over the eastern and
southern districts will be controlled by an
extensive area Of high barometer which
covers the lake regions. The weather will
be partly cloudy and cold for the season
over these districts, with conditions favora-
BILE for frosts in the Atlantic coast states
north of Florida.
Along the middle Atlantic and New Eng
land coast the winds will be fresh to bisk
from the north. On the south Atlantic
coast the winds will be variable
