WORK ADVANCING.
Digging the Foundation for the
Public Library Building.

Rapid progress is being made in the con-
struction of the foundation for the new
building for the Public Library, which is
to be erected on Mount Vernon Square
The massive walls of three and four feet
thickness of brick work have practically
been completed on the south side and on
the wings, while the deep excavation in the
central portion to provide room for the
coal vaults and heating apparatus Is near
ing completion. The great area of the
site, 200 by about 100 feet, presents busy
scene these days, as the workmen are
swarming over it, and the carts bringing
material and hauling the earth away are
constantly on the go. A great derrick lifts
the iron buckets containing the earth to
the level of the ground and thence to the
waiting wagons
1t is expected by Mr.. Bernard r. Green.
who has charge of the construction that
he will be able in the course of a few days
to invite bids for the erection Of the super
structure. Up to the present time the only
contract that has been awarded has been
for the foundations. 1t being impossible to
accept the bids made on the other portions
of the work, as they were in excess of the
money that is available for the erection of
the building Mr.. Green has been engaged
in modifying the specifications and he has
finally got them down to such terms that
he is hopeful of being able to make con-
tracts and proceed at once with the work
of construction

SOME ELECTION FIGURES
CLOsENESs OF THE COMING FIGHT
FOR MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE.
Interesting Table Showing the Vote
in Congregational Districts Dur
ing the Last Contest.

An idea Of the cloSeness OF the coming
fight for Congress can be obtained by scru-
tinizing the figures Of the last election,
which returned the present Congress. An
alysis of the election figures will show why
the republican managers are lying awake
O. nights scheming to save the House in
the fall elections.
There are twenty congressional districts
in which the plurality of the winner in
1898 was less than 600 votes: this in a total
vote of 10000 to 5000. There are seven
districts in which the plurality Of the sue
cessful candidate was less than 200 votes.
In some cases the victor was a republican,
in others democrat. AS a general propo-
sition the republicans had more close dis
tricts than the democrats.
In addition to the foregoing there are six
other districts in which the pluralitieS were
between 600 and 1,OO0 Furthermore. there
are seven other districts where the plural
tiles were less than 1000 out of a total
vote of $4,000 to 10000, which is considered
sailing pretty close to the wind.
1t appears from further examination OF
the official returns that the greatest num-
Der of the closest districts lie in states
where the bitterest fights are expected to
rage this fall. This shows that there is
necessity for handling these districts with
care, as lying in the debatable ground they
are fair prey to the party which makes the
StioHSeSt eAoiu " capture lieHi ohio' IL
diana. Kentucky, Illinois, New Jersey, Ne
braska, California and New York furnish
the cases where the contest for the House
was closest two years ago, and 1t is
certain that both parties will make their
supremest efforts in these states this year.
Below are given some of the close dis
tricts. showing the vote in 1888. with the
plurality of the winner. 1t will be observed
that in many cases there were sufficient op-
posing votes to have overcome his plural
ity, if they could have been united against
him. This only adds to the uncertainty, for
no one can tell what those scattering votes
of two years ago will do this time, and
where they are the balance of power be-
tween the regular democratic and republi-
can candidates they are a distinct menace
To both.

PROPOSALS REJECTED.
Offers of Land for Engine House
Were Too High.

The District Commissioners today decided
to reject all proposals recently received by
them for the sale of site for the chemical
engine house to be erected In Brookland.
Congress at its recent session appropriated
the sum of $4,000 for the site, house and
furniture, and after examining the pro-
posals the Commissioners determined that
they could not afford to purchase any site
at the price fixed by the bidders. Each bid
der has been informed of the rejection of
the bids, the Commissioners requesting
them to notify them by Saturday next
whether 1t will be possible for them to offer
their land at a lower figure than was named
in the proposals.
The Commissioners desire It to be under
stood that 1t is absolutely necessary for
them to obtain site at a figure lower than
any named by bidders, and that unless
more advantageous offers are made to them
they will be compelled to secure a site
through private negotiations. or postpone
the erection of the engine house until Com
gress has provided them with additional
funds. st IN
