ARCHITECTS SUPPORT BUILDERS.


There was fair attendance yesterday
at the annual meeting OF the Washington
state chapter of the American Institute
Of Architects, at which II was decided that
the chapter would support the local build
ing contractors In their contest with the
iaborers.
This action was taken on a communica-
ton received from the Seattle Builders
and Traders Exchange. asking support
in the present contest over the question
OF wages. The chapter unanimously
agreed to indorse the action of the ex-
change In refusing TO comply with the
demands OF the iaborers. as they seemed
to involve a general strike. tying up work
on buildings now under construction and
In general, as the architects believe, sus-
pending the work of skilled mechanics
for tho exclusive benefit Of ordinary day
labor
The new building ordinance proposed
for passage by the city council came up
for discussion. which resulted in the adop-
ton OF a resolution asking the council 10
refer the ordinance to committee so
that the architects and others interested
might have an opportunity 10 be heard In
the matter.
The election of officers for the chapter
resulted as follows: President. William Y.
Boone Seattle: first vice president. George
w Billiard, Tacoma. second vice rresi.
dent, James stephen, Seattle: secretary
Charles W. Saunders Seattle: treasurer
George ". f.awton. Seattle.
After the completion of business the
members Of the chapter adjourned 10 the
Butler griiroom. where luncheon was
served.

TO BE NO GENERAL STRIKE.


The trouble which has been pending for
some time between certain building con-
tractors In the city and their employees
was discussed last night at a meeting OF
the executive committee of the Building
Trades Council held in the Western Cen
trail Labor Union hall Contrary 10 the
not ordered. but the demands OF the
worl1nen now out win be pressed against
the particular contractors who refuse to
sign the scale for laborers' wages pre-
sented bv the Trades Council.
The Builders Exchange stated its posi-
ton in the most forcible terms several
days ago. refusing to accede to the de-
the occasion for the meeting last night.
1t was feared for time that the ultima
tum would precipitate a general strike all
over the city affecting all branches OF the
builders trade. but cool heads dominated
the meeting and the decision of the coun-
ell affects only certain buildings.
sAt a time like the present. when work
Is being rushed on so many buildings. the
consequences of general strike would
have been most disastrous. both as to the
number of men thrown out OF work. the
damage to the buildings and the conse-
quent loss to contractors.
1t Is stated by members Of the Trades
Council that the strike ordered Will prob

A comparison Of che reports Of Harcor-
master VIC. Jensen for September. 1899.
and September, 1900. shows an increase
of over % per cent. in Seattie's exports
and imports. The gain 10 number and
tonnage of ships arriving in and depart
ing from the harbor is not so large. but
it, too. shows a great advance.
The September imports of Seattle. ac-
cording to the monthly statement or
Harbormaster. Jensen, were 81 600 6o2. and
the exports s2.757.522. making the total
business OF the harbor A.3Ss.124. These
figures cover the cargoes of all deep
water ships plying between Seattle and
ports in other customs districts or In for
eign countries.
The export and import totals are far
above the shipping business of September.
1899. when the imports were only S77s.sss,
the exports only sf.4s.3S7 and the total
business only s221o.s22
The steam and sailing vessels arriving
In the harbor during the month just
closed numbered eighty-tive. with total
tonnage OF 94.7ss. There were sixty-five
arrivals in September. 1899, with a tom
mage OF 57,s7s. -
The increase shown by the record of
departures Il not as great because last
month sixteen more ships arrived than
departed. a condition which promises well
for the October business but greatly de-
creases the September record. Last month
sixty-nlne vessels, tonnage S3,s26. cleared
from Seattle. while year ago the de-
partures numbered hftv-nine. tonnage So

BUILDING PLANS AT YALE.

| $250,000 of Bicentennial Funds Already
Used to Buy Real Estate
Additional details of the Yale bicen-
tennial building scheme show that it
contemplates early removal of the rem
nants of the old brick row and the
opening of an arch in the lower part of
the Durfee dormitory, which, with the
proposed opposite openings on Wall
street, would make vista through
three blocks north aud south.
OF the bicentennial funds already con-
tributed, about s250,000 has already gone
toward the purchase of real estate The
cost of the auditorium and the memo
rial vestibule will be about $500 900 and
Of the dining nall about 5000. 900. There
is now about 100000 in sight for Begin
ming tha buildings.
Next year the work will begin on a
new dornitory to be called the Fayer-
weather, to be placed on the middle of
the three quadrangles. The New York
architects who planned the bicenten-
NAL buildings have given their services
for nothing in outlining the grades and
laying out the campus.
There will soon be sent out to alum
nj prints giving an outline sketch of the
proposed bicentennial buildings, a gen.
eral plan of the block on which they are
to stand. and a cross section of the au-
ditorium and memorial vestibule.

EFFECTIVE DIPLOMACY.

| Some Instances in Sir George Grey's
| Dealings With the New Zealanders.

a man become one simply by education.

common sense, strengthened by obser-
walton and careful training. The career

AS the ruler of New Zealand, problems
in regard to recalcitrant natives contin-
ually arose before him, problems which
| could be settled by no customs of di-
plomacy. Sir George solved them by
good sense.
One Improvement of prime impor-
lance was the development of roads.
This was bitterly opposed by some of
the savage tribes.
Rangihaeta, a Maori chieftain, sull1ed
i'm his Businesses There was rumble
of discomfort and vengeance. Sir
George did not wish him to remain in
condition holding so little happiness,
Moreover, the all-important high roads
must invade even Rangihaeta's terri
tory. Diplomatic overtures were not
wasted; they budded quietly, and then
When the old fellow had begun to
get frail and ill.," said Sir George, II
sent him pretty pony and trap. The
seashore, at his part of New Zealand,
offered splendid stretch Of firm sand,
one of the finest drives in the world
Delighted With his carriage, he would
use it; only breadth of rough land in
tervened between his dwelling and the
beach. He could not drive across it, so
what does he do but turn out his men
to make a roadway.
There was merriment in Maoriland
at the idea that Ranglhaeta, hitherto
sternly opposed to our roads, should
himself be constructing one. That was
as / hoped and he made no more diff
culties for us. How could he? There
he was, almost every afternoon, driving
on the sands in all the pride of peacock
feathers"
Sir Georges tact was always in evil
dence. AS young man he had noticed
the respect which savages pay to
strength and agility.
II was somewhere on the coast with
several of my officers and a number Of
Maori chiefs" he said afterward, and
there was a debate as to running, I
ventured the statement that / could,
beat the Maoris at a distance
contest They selected their best man,
a young chief, and | fancy it took me
more than half mile to get away
from him"
Sir George Grey learned to feel a true
affection for this wild race. Just before
he died he sent a message to the prime
of New Zealand, "Give the
people of New Zealand my love- it
ran, and may God have you in his
keeping"
And last of all, just as the night of |
this world was closing about him. he |
exclaimed in Maori, the language of the |
island people: Its all light" As he |
spoke, none of those who watched |
about his bed understood the strange
words, but they remembered |
hem and afterWard they learned their |
great significance.--Youth Companion. |
