GRATIFYING ANNOUNCEMENT
Work on the Washington Public Library to
Commence Shortly.
superintendent Green Says 1t Ought
to Be Finished and Fur
nished by 1902.

Mr. Bernard R. Green, superintendent Of
the construction of the Washington Public
Library, which Is to be erected on Mount
Vernon Square with the funds donated by
Mr. Andrew Carnegie. has informed the IL
brary commission that he hopes to be able
to issue advertisements calling for pro-
posals for constructing the building by the
9Th of next month. with the expectation
that work on the structure may be COM
meuced in April. The building, Mr.. Green
says, ought to be under roof by next win
ter and be finished and furnished by the
winter following.
The hill by which Congress set apart
Mount Vernon Square as the site for the
new library was approved the I'd of last
March, and provided that the work of con-
struction should be commenced within one
year and completed within three years
from that date. This work has already
been commenced. the ground having been
cleared and the sewers changed, so that
the requirement of the law relative to be
ginning 1t within one year from March g.
1899 has been obeyed. AS heretofore
stated. MIR. Carnegie has donated the sum
of $3.50 900 with which to construct and
furnish the building.
Unavoidable Delay.
In a letter to District Commissioner Ross,
the president of the library commission. Mr.
Green states that he has been steadily en-
gagged with the architects on the prepara-
ton of the specifications and the necessary
plans for the complete construction of the
building and that he had hoped to he ready
for receiving proposals for its construction
by the first of this month. The accomplish
mcnt of this, however. was unavoidably
delayed by the failure of the engineer who
was intr1,sted with the design of the heat
ing and mechanical apparatus TO have his

its principles and an economically ac-

QUESTION OF PUNISHMENTS,
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The State De
partment SO far has heard nothing from
Mr.. Conger respecting the "impasse" re-
ported to have been reached by the for
eign ministers yesterday at Pekin.
Without taking issue with Mr.. Conger
respecting this matter of punishments. the
State Department has earnestly advised
him not to insist upon impossible condi-
tions in the negotiations.
An interesting problem is suggested by
the possibility, which to-day is almost u
probability, that the ministers represent
ing the Powers at Pekin cannot reach an
agreement. Very much may depend upon
Japan, and even some of the lesser Pow
ers represented at Pellin by ministers.
The impression seems to be that if ma
jority of the ministers, or perhaps even
one of the representatives of a great
Power, withholds assent to the agreement
the whole undertaking fails and there
must be either fresh negotiations directly
between the home governments or the
Powers must proceed to deal with the
Chinese situation singly or in groups. the
latter contingency having been provided
for in the German-Britisn agreement
