London, May 18.-Richard Croker Is

fairs at present, finding ample pleasure
and prorit in the British turf Those who
saw him at the Gatwick and Newmarket
races this week, describe him as thor

year-old bay gelding Harrow, purchased
for f1, 900 in 1900, has, within a fortnight

backed by the American contingent on
both occasions at substantial odds. Har-

triumph for American training, which has
worked a miraculous improvement in the

MIR. HAYS MEMORANDUM.
He Indicates the Views of Senators
to PauncefOte.

Washington, May 1s.-The papers just
received at the British foreign Office in
reference to an isthmian canal treaty are
those forwarded by Lord Pauncefote
about ten days ago. In authoritative
quarters it is stated that these consist
mainly of a memorandum in which Mr..
Hay indicates on what lines a treaty
should be drawn in order to meet the
views of the United States senators with
whom he has conferred This concurs
with the London view that the papers
cover the draft of the proposals for a
treaty rather than treaty itself, as the
written memorandum is regarded as
chiefly tentative With this paper before
them, the British officials can readily
perceive within what lines it will be nee
essary to frame a treaty in order to Sc
cure it's ratification by the Senate.

FATHER OF THE SKYSCRApER.
Designer of the Modern steel Struc-
turc--The Batter's End sun
Unknown.

Where land is so valuable that every
square inch represents a dollar or
more, business blocks must go into
the air instead of spreading over the
ground. BY the old methods of build.
ing it would be hard to carry a struc-
ture higher than five or six stories
unless the walls were made as thick
as fortress. So a man with an imag-
ination struck out new method, en-
bodying in steel an idea that is
working revolution in the business
centers of cities.
Like other wonderful developments
of recent years, the sky-scraper has
become so common that to some it
may seem commonplace, says the
Youths Companion. Yet George n.
Fuller, the designer of it, was only 40
years old when he died in Chicago the
other day. Indeed, it is only few
years since the improvement in ele-
vators made it possible to rent Offices
ten or more stories above the street;
and almost simultaneous was the de.
cline in the price of structural steel
W punt NHlCH tuuDltu bullNtls
everywhere to gain the advantages of
fered by the steel-frame construction
| Chief of these is the fact that a sky
/ scraper may be carried to almost any
altitude, like the St. Paul building ii
| New York, which is 26 stories high, ant
| rises more than 800 feet above the
street level. Such building yields al
enormous rental. There are no mass
| i've walls to reduce the rental space
Tenants willingly pay high rates foI
the light and airy offices. The struc
ture shelters as many persons as {
whole township, and it provides facil
tiles and conyeniences few towns coult
afford.
Whether the steel skeletons will nj
timately corrode and crumbe. tim
will tell. At present we know the sky
scrapers are practically fire-proof an,
seem beyond the power of any recog
nized agency of destruction. If it shal
prove that the designer of them di
not build for the twenty-frst century
it must at least be admitted that h
served his own generation well.

Some time ago three yeomanry scouts

they were elated at the proposal, and
all three gave De Wet their word of
honor to deliver the missive into Gen.
Rundle's own hands. They received
it, large envelope, well sealed, and
with all the outward appearance of con-
tanning some important document.
Possibly they may have thought it
