FORT DU POINT BUILDINGS
4 Bill for Their Construction to be
Presented in Congress.
WHY THE MEASURE IS NECESSARY
No Session OF Delaware LegIs-
Iature Until 1901.
MUST APPROVE GOVERNMENTS TITLE

Washington, Jan. 20.-The Secretary
of War and quartermaster- general of
the army have prepared a draft of a
bill to be reported to Congress, regard
ing improvements to Fort du Pont, ir
Delaware, near Delaware City. The
bill properly comes under the provisions
OF section 855, Revised Statutes, which
provides that the Federal government
shall DOT make any improvements on
ground purchased from the State until
the State Legislature has approved the
governments title to said land:
The Sundry Civil bill authorizes the
purchase of 12o acres adjacent to Fort
du Pont, for the purpose of erecting
permanent quarters for the garrison
and other buildings in connection with
the fort.
The present quarters are reported to
the officials as inadequate, and it is
necessary to have more buildings for
the convenience Of tho garrison, and
also to properly protect and preserve
property OF the ordinance department..
There would be no delay In erecting
these buildings If the Delaware Legis-
lature were in session, but as the Leg
islature will not meet until January,
1901, the officials are forced to take
this steI.
Nothing can be done go long as sec.
tion 1856 remains in force until the
Legislature approves the right, except
through Congress. Gen. Ludington
will ask that Congress pass bill for
the erection of these buildings, and he
thinks it will be passed.

Perhaps revolution. Since 1870 France
has had no chance TO increase her terri
tory, in Europe; even she does not now
believe the recovery OF Alsace and Lor-
raine possible, so keeps UP her military
spirit by establishing colonies in Asia
and Africa, which, while yielding no
return make places for an increasing
army Of functionaries. There is not an
English colony but pays more than 1T
costs, but France despises the pecuniary
side SO her debt piles up.

New York, Jan. 22.-Count Boni De
Castellane and Countess De Castellane.
nee Gould, arrived in this country to-
day, on the French Line steamship La
Bretagne, from Havre, France. They
went to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
The count was willing to talk about
the stories of his losses by stock specu-
lation and gambling.
On the De Rodays matter, he said:
"De Rodays. He is a-well what is De
Rodays? DE Rodays is liar. He is a
scoundrel, a-say anything you like
about him. He is-what is such a
person? He is nothing, nonentity.
What should l care for himH oh, he is
a liar"
The Count evidently did not like
the stories that had been printed about
him and his alleged losses. He was
asked If he would challenge De Rodays.
"Challenge," be said with hauteuf.
"Certainly not. I shall not challenge
such man. He is not the kind of man
to accept challenge. No, l shall not
challenge him; but, when / go back,
shall slap his face with stick if he
does not retraot. See, Monster, ! have
prepared statement to send TO him.
The statement which Count De Cas-
| tellane gave out in relation to De
Rodays, editor of the Figaro, whence
comes the stories that Count Castellane
| lost several millions of francs on the
Stock Exchange and in gambling, trans
| lated, demands a retraction from Do
Rodays, and charges that the paper Is
one bought by the highest bidder. =
"I never gambled IN my life," said
Count De Castellane warmly. 81 never
layed cards for money, OF gambled in
any other form. 1 did not lose money
| in speculation. These stories are all
fabiications, and as false as they can
| be. There is no truth in thom at all. I"
| When the question of the relationship
between himself and his wife was
| touched on, Count De Castellane said !.
"Our relations are perfectly harmoni-
ous" Then be smiled at his wife, as
| she stood by his side, and she smiled
at him. There was seeming good feeling
in the smiles.
With regard to their visit here, the
| Count and his wife said that they
intended to remain in New York for 10
days, though their plaas might pos
sibly be changed. Tney are here to see
the relatives and friends of the Count
ess. Count De Castelane said he did
not know il he would go TO Lakeu ood,
where George Gould has his winter
residence. No arrangements had been
made to go there, and the matter had
not been taken up. The Count said
that he did not know whether George
Gould would come to New York City
or not. He said If be did he would
meet him here.

PEACE: MEETING.
Interesting Addresses by Alfred II. Love,
chief Justioe Lore and Others.

Interesting Addresses by Alfred n. Love,
Ghier Justice Lore and Others.
A peace meetipg was held Sunday
afternoon at Friends Westinghouse,
Fourth and West streets, David Ferris
presided and read an essay on
"Woman's Organizations. Addresses
were made by Alfred H. Love Of Phila-
delphia, president Of the Universal
Peace Union, Chief Justice Lore, and
several others.
The WY to secure complete emanci'
patton from war, Mr.. Love said, IS by
prayer, faith in God, devotion and
agitation. Now the world seems to be
in the clouds about the var question.
Tho Peace Congress met at The Hague,
with delegates from almost every nation
of the world, so it looked as if we were
to have promises Of peace. About the
time the delegates of the United States
were at the conference, this country
was engaged, In war tho conditions Of
peace did not exist among US. "How
can these things work together In har-
mouy?" asked Mr.. Love, protesting
one thing at The Hague and engaged in
conflict in the Philippines and Cuba. !"
He then dwelt at length on the various
propositions OF the Peace Congress,
which showed n disposition to ameli-
crate war. He held that war is hor-
rible thing, aud tho way to solve it is
to end it, and the way to end 1T is to
get substitute for Rehabilitation. He
believed that while womapkind is not
called on to do battle, it could WELD u
potent influence toward abolishing wars
aud having nations submit to arbitra-
tion.
II am not accountable for Mckinley,
Hoar, Aguinaldo, or anyone else, said
Mr.. Love. "The whole thing is wrong.
Let us give to Mckinley credit for
doing. perhaps, the best he can under
the circumstances. Let us be charit-
able and not indulge in personalities
The trouble is that the condition Of
war is in our midst. Our children have
been taught it In our schools and our
churches, our statute books give man
| the power to deolare war. We are
building battleships and is it any
| wonder our ohildron are brought up as
| they are? Removs the portraits of war
| rioIs from your homes; girls, take the
limitations CT spears and swords from
your hair"
Chief Justice Lore said he was moi
discouraged at the outlook for universal
peace. The forces Of God move slowly.
but with unerring certainty. The peace
movement generally among all nations
is moving with that ,unerring certainty
that marks Gods forces. He could set
no reason Why nations could not resort
to arbitration to settle disputes. HI

CoSTAD STREET.
The Entire ThorOughtare to be Placed on
the City Map.

City Engineer Bougbman was in
structed by the Street and Sewer Di-
rectors Tuesday to place portions
ofiConrad street, which are not now city
property, on the city map, with a view
to acquiring such portions at some
future time.
The action grew out of the fact that
at the last meeting of the directors they
accepted from the New Castle County
Mutual Insurance 90. the deed for a
tract which was then supposed to be
o portion OF Conrad street between
du Pont and Scott. Since the last
meeting, however, it has developed that
such is not exactly the case and the
directors Tuesday rescinded their
action until it can be asoertained just
what the deed calls for.
Although Conrad street, which is
between Second and Third streets and
parallel with them, begins at Monroe
street and runs west practically to the
city line, there are several blocks which
are not opened, and the instructions
given to the city engineer are to place
those sections on the map to prevent
future building on the line of the
street.
