spcct 10 the Municipal Building

terday that he was heartily in favor of the
plan to build up the south size of Pennsyl-
yania Avenue with public buildings He

on the subject in stating that he believed
the south side Of the great thoroughfare
from the Capitol to the Treasury should be
purchased by the Government and used for
such buildings as il may seem fit for the
Government to build in the future.
lie stated that the south side of the Ave-
nue. was as good site as can possibly be
secured for municipal building, but he
favors the building of the structure on Ju-
dietary Square because the Government
Low owns that property and il would save
the expense of purchasing new site There
is only one Government building on the
Avenue. at present. the Postoffice. but it
is expected that others will be erected.

THE MYSTERY OF MR.. MACRUM.
His Reasons for Leaving Pretoria
StilI tnIearned.

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-Charles z. Ma
erum, former United States Consul to Pre-
toria South African Republic. is on the
American liner st. Paul. which is due here
today From the time Mr. Macrum left
South Africa, after his myteriOus and re-
peated requests for release from the con-
sulate until the present no light has been
thrown on the reason for his precipitate
retirement. He has persistenuy refused to
give information TO enqurers who have
approached him at Port Said. Paris. and
other places along his route homeward.
and rumOrs that he comes a diplomatic
representative Of the TTansyaai Govern
ment or that he left Pretoria for personal
reasons are merely surmises
Mr.. Macrum Was appointed by President
Mckinley, at the request of Representative
Tayler of Ohio. With the outbreak Of hos
tilities in the Transvaal he was notified
by the United States Government. az the
request of Great Britain that he had been
empowered to take charge of British inter-
ests during the war. Mr.. MacTum agreed
to undertake the task, but soon informed
the State Department that President Kru-
ger would permit him to act only as an
III representing dItdL DtlldlH.
Then came his remarkable message stat
ing that il was important" for him to
leave Pretoria and asking that he be re-
leased from duty. The State Department
ii is said, replied that il was important"
for him TO stay where he was Mr.. Ma
crum then cabfed that IL was extremely
important that he leave Pretoria and re-
turn TO the United States
This fixing of the place to which he must
go in case he left Pretoria merely made
matters more mysterious. The State Dc
partment reiterated it's opinion. however.
that IL was extremely important that
he should remain in South Africa.
In his third attempt at release Mr..
Nacrum expressed Eis regret at giving ~
Government Office. but stated that his
reasons were very urgent indeed and ne
then volunteered little help TO the State
department by suggesting the name Of
person who could fiji his place until his
successor arrived. The Washington au-
thCrijies then sent the necessary permis-
sion to Mr. Macrum TO leave for home

A MONUMENT TO STARK.
House Plans To Honor the Memory of
That General.

The House Committee on the Library
has presented a favorable report on the
bill for the erection of an equestrian stat
lie of Major Gen. John Stark in the city
of Manchester, y. H. The committee re-
ports as follows:
Major Gen. John Stark was one of the
most distinguished officers of the Revolu-
tionary Army. He enlisted at the first
outbreak and served almost continuously
throughout the eight years Of war. AS a
recruiting officer and organizer of troops
he was most successful and on the field
of battle he was cool and recklessly brave.
Historians give him high rank in the
worlds list of military commanders. He
was in command of the left wing of the
American line at the battle of Bunker
Hill, and was in almost all of the battles
which were fought in New England during
the war He organized the First New
Hampshire Regiment, and afterward or
ganiZed several other regiments. He took
part in the attack on Three Rivers; was
in command of the right wing of the ad-
vance guard at the battle of Trenton; was
at the battle of Princeton. and was in COM
mand of the American Army at the battle
of Bennington.
For his brilliant services at the battle
of Bennington he was presented the
thanks of Congress. He was engaged in
several other minor battles and held i'm
portant commands until the close of the
war. In 1856 he received the rank of ma
jor general by brevet in pursuance of the
act of Congress passed September 80 1888
I'm view of General Stark distinguish
ed services TO his country, your committee
think it but fit and proper that a statue
should be erected to Ms memory in the
city in which he spent so many years of
his life. and in which he died; therefore
your committee respectfully recommend
that the bill do pass
