Paving Madison STREET.

There are rev people IN seattle VINO
do not believe Madison street should
be paved. It II the main artery Of
travel from the Sound to Lake WASH
ington. and its use ~ . public thor
oughfars has become 30 general that
there should be no further delay In
putting 1t in good shape. During the
winter season It is used by vehicles as
common highway. even more fire.
quently than at any other period Of
the year, and It is in winter that the
roadbed ID found to be in the worst
condition.
The team trafic from the business
district to the hill top and the coun-
try beyond has increased year after
year. but the streets up which such
traffic must pass have undergone little
improvement in recent times, Custom
has led travel to Madison street, one
reason being that the grades are easier
than those Of most OF the other streets,
and another that the vestiges Of plank
ing laid ten years ago, even in the pres
emit woeful state Of repair, make haul
ing easier than upon other mirery thor
oughfares.
With such travel and q certainty
that 1t will increase It Ii not surpris-
ing that there IL an urgent demand for
some sort OF street improvement that
will meet the needs Of the hour. Prop
erty-owners along Madison street are
agreed that It should be paved ana
that It cannot be done too soon. There
are some differences Of opinion ~ to
what kind Of material should be used,
but II would seem that this ought to be
q matter easy of settlement when once
Il is taken UP in earnest
A COMMITTEES OF the council has re-
Gently gone over the entire length Of
street and has arrived at the conclu-
sion that sandstone can be used to ad-
vantage on the sleeper inclines, ma
cadem on the levels through the more
populous district and planking for the
eastern end of the street where the set

is suggestion which should be follow
ed out unless something better can be
advanced.
The prevailing idea IL that the i'm
provement to be made should be Of
permanent nature. The time has gone
by when makeshifts can be made use
of. Wooden planking was well enough
in its day, but the city and the travel
have grown beyond that temporary ex-
pedient. The work must be substantial
ly done. so that In the now well-settled
sections constant renovation will be un-
necessary. The best material should be
used in order that the street may sue
cessfully bear the heavy traffic of the
present and that which will go over 1t
for many years to come. The best ma
terra, should be selected, and there
should be no very protracted delay in
making a choice. The improvement is
imperatively demanded and should be
made.

The Union League, Roosevelt Rough

guished gentleman from Maine II rous-
ing reception when he stepped from
the Jermyn corridor.
The Rough Riders formed on Wash
ington avenue, between Linden and
Spruce streets, while the Union Lea
guers met at the Central Republican
headquarters. Promptly at 7.30 o'clock
these two companies formed into line

at the entrance of the urmory was
placed large transparency bearing

Congressman Littletield spoke for
nearly two hours. His style is
one peculiar to himself. He has
voice of great depth and
and volume, and without a seeming
effort and in apparently ordinary con-
versational tones made himself dis
tinctly understood even out in the cor

Great LiquidatiOns in Steel Stocks
Caused by a Shutdown.
Further Reports of OverprOductiOn
Make sharp Breaks in Tennessee
Coal and IrOn-Ah the Industrial
shares Affected by the Declines.
London Market Reported Heavy.

NEW YORK, April 17.-The Stock Mar
ket opened active and exceedingly feverish.
The announcement Of the closing down Of
the mills Of the American Steel and Wire
Company was naturally disconcerting 10
the holders Of that and the other steel
industrials. and enormous liquidation was
evident in these stocks upon the opening
Of business. American Steel and Wire
and Federal Steel were the most actively
dealt in and there were also large trans
actions in all Of the other stocks Of this
general class. Tennessee Coal and Iron
also broke very sharply. with further re-
ports regarding the over-production of iron
attending its course. The railway lie
opened lower in sympathy with the break
in the industria! stocks. but there were
no evidences OF eXtensicve liquidation in
that quarter Of the market. Chesapeake
and Ohio. Pennsylvania, and Missouri Pa
cihc were the most active features there.
Upon the reopening Of the London mar
ket, slight and irregular changes we're
shown in American stocks. The tone OF
that quarter of the market was reported,
however, as heavy, owing to selling or
ders from this side The remainder OF the
London market was steady. After the op-
euing dealings the market developed a
much frmer tone and in some cases it re-
covered the whole Of the united losses.
