INTEREST IN MEMORIAL.
Managers of Mckinley Arch Receive
Numerous Inquiries.

Numerous Inquiries.
Inquiries being received at the headquar-
ters of the William Mckinley National Me-
mortal Arch Association from persons in
various sections indicate that considerable
interest has been aroused in the project
throughout the country. The appeal sent
out three weeks ago has thus borne fruit,
and besides the sentimental contributions
there have also been number Of substan-
tial ones received by the treasurer, Secre-
tary Gage. The latter will not be made
public until after the committee which is
to canvass the District begins active op-
erations. The organization of the latter
body has been further advanced by the ap-
pointment of Charles H. Davis as chairman
of the subcommittee on Sons of Veterans.
He will select his associates. Conferences
are being steadily held by chairmen of the
subconmittees and Chairman Parker and
Secretary Weller of the general committee
regarding systematic methods to be fol-
lowed in soliciting subscriptions with
view to uniformity and the prevention or
confusion 1t has been suggested that each
member of each subcommittee shall pre-
pare list OF those persons he believes ne
could call upon for contributions with the
best probabilitie of success, and that when
such lists are completed all shall be COM
pared in order that duplication of names,
If such is discovered, may be prevented.
Another suggestion is to have each sub
committee divide the names in their re-
spective territory in alphabetical order and
let one member call on the AS and BIS, for
instance and so on through the letter list.
Other plans have been spoken of, but in
any event this consideration on the part OF
the committeeman indicates the appreQia
tfon they feel for their responsibilities and
is earnest of their intention to meet
them to the best of their abilities.

The watch for the fugitive Leonid

unproductive as that of a year ago. To-
night several of the scientists of that in
st.tution will gather at the observatory
and continue the search of the heavens,
but without any pronounced faith that the
meteors will appear. Prof. A: N. Skinner
talked of the subject last night as fol-
lows:
'The fact that the Leonids did not ap-
pear last year or two years ago gives rise
to belief that they | ay never again be
witnessed from the earth. The basis for
the calculations regarding the shower of
each thirtythree years was SO uncertain
that nobody can tell what has become of
the comets or when, if ever, they will ap-
pear again. Because of this we will make
no special efforts to watch for them. WHAT
has become Of them is very big question:
and one upon which have no theory. The
orbit of the Leonfds may have swerved
slightly, throwing the comets entirely out Of
our plane"
