a. NEW NAVAL ARCH.
NEW Works. DEWEY MEMORIAL TO
eE REPRODUCED IN STONE.

II Will he Placed In Battery Park AZ
q Water Gateway to the Nation and
a Memorial to the Gallant Deeds, Of
Our Jack Tars. #=2 's*ss-.
Widespread satisfaction has been the
result Of the announcement that the ia
nous naval arch in Madison square,
New York, is to be perpetuated. But it
will not be erected on it's original site
and will be a memorial to the heroic
deeds of the navy as whole rather than
q monument to the hero of Manila Bay.
The arch Is to be built in Battery
park, New York, and it is planned even
tually to connect the arch with landing
place at the waters edge by an avenue
which shall be f1anked by the statues of
naval heroes. This will serve as a mag
nificent water gate to the city and to. the
entire country.
OF course it must be remembered that
such a monument cannot be built In a
day, nor even a year. The public is ever
q creature OF impulse, and unless the
men in charge Of the affair are full of
energy and enthusiasm the work is
bound to lag. Even at the best It takes
many month to collect enough funds to
warrant the beginning of a notable pub
lie memorial, as witness the length of
time 1t took to begin work on the Grant
tomb even after it's erection was all plan.

In this case assurances have been Civ
en- by wealthy residents OF New YORK
to the naval memorial committee, now in
charge Of the work of bringing about the
construction Of the arch, that they will
not permit the plan to fail. 1t is under
stood that J. Pierpont Morgan is leader
in the movement. Admiral Dewey has
given his approval to the change in the
character of the structure from Dew
ey" to naval" arch. The site has been
selected. and Mayor Van Wyck has
pledged the earnest cooperation of bis

Its site is near enough to the waters
edge to permit special approach to be
built hereafter if this is thought desir-
able. 1t is Also so near the existing land
ing now being constructed at pier that
it will be possible to lay out a broad road
leading from that landing directly to the
arch. II the Ericsson statue should be
moved to point beside that road and in
time other statues added, the path would
be appropriately accentuated.'
Mr.. Benz jamin thinks the arch will not
cost more than $5Q0,OOO- Mayor Van
Wyck thinks it ought to cost 81 .0O0.O0O
and that the government should make al
appropriation for half this amount. In
consulting architects and sculptors it has
been decided, and very properly, to give
the preference to the men who without
remuneration devoted their time and la
bor to the temporary structure in Madi
son square. The arch will be counter
part of the Dewey arch, except that a
colonnade will not he constructed unless a
large amount of money is raised.
According to the naval men who have
taken hold of the plan. the money will be
raised either by popular subscription
from the city of New York, from the
state of New York or from the United
States government. Mr.. Benjamin says:

THE "PIGTAiL" IN CHINA.
Certain Sects Believe 1t Is Essentia
to Salvation.

Certain Sects Believe 1t Is Essential
to Salvation.
Every one knvws how sacred a cue or
his cue is almost as bad as to lose life
itself. Should a Chinaman return to
China without his cue he would become
an object of scorn and derision.
Dress, like other things, undergoes it's
change in China. but the style Of the
pigtail has remained the same for centu-
ries and is handed down from parent to
child without fear of change.
For many years prior to 1914 the ma
tive emperors of the Chinese dynasty
compelled their subjects to wear long
hair over the whole head and to twist it
into tuft or coil. The first emperor Of
the Mantchoo dynasty, who ascended the
throne in 1914, determined to make the
consul Of Manchuria the token of the
submission of the Chinese of the entire
country to his authority.
Shortly after his accession to the
throne he ordered his subjects to shave
all the hair from their heads except on
the crown and to allow the hair on that
particular part to grow long and dress
it according to the traditional custom of
MduCuuIll
This proclamation was received with
universal disapproval. except in Man
churia. But it had to be obeyed. Final
ly the custom prevailed throughout the
length and breadth of China, and the
style then adopted as duty is worn now
by choice. $50 much long communion

As a reward for punctuality and obe-
dience those who were first to conform
with the new capillary rule were award

has the pigtail come to be held that GER

saved without the aid of the pigtail.
They believe that after death Confucius
will lift them by their pigtails into the
regions of celestial bliss. Consequently

COLOMBIAN WAR TO END.
SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN
DIR. SILVA AND GENERAL
URIBE-URIBE.

General Uribe-Uribe, leader OF the Colombian
insurgents has agreed to end the revolution
that has been going for the last year and g.
half. and peace probably will be officially pro-
claimed within the next few weeks General
Uribe-Uribe Is living in this city at the Hoffman
Arms Madison ave. and Fifty-ninth-st He
came here several months ago from Venezuela,
where he took refuge after being defeated in
desperate encounter with the Colombian Govern
ment troops Several efforts have been made to
organize expeditions here to 60 to the RELIEF OF
the scattered bands Of insurgents. but without
success.
General Uribe-Uribe still working hard TO
secure arms and reinforcements when DR.. Carlos
Martinez Silva, Minister Of Foreign Anairs OF
Colombia and Don Tomas Herran, two OF the
most prominent men in the republic, came to
this country to negotiate with the United States
for the construction of the Panama Canal. 1t Is
known that mutual friends brought DR.. Silva
and the revolutionary leader together, and ne
gotiatons for peace at once were begun. The
first proposals submitted by General Tribe
Uribe were not accepted, but il is said on the
most trustworthy authority that General Tribe
Tribe has agreed to stop the rebellion II the
government will agree to Hberate the political
prisoners and abolish the war tax, which wealthy
men in the Liberal party have been compelled
to pay
These proposals were submitted to Dr. Silva
only a few days ago and met with instant ap-
proval. They We're cabled to Bogota and an off,
cial acceptance is expected any moment 1t may
be said, although General Urbe-Uribe was not
aware OF 1t at the time his proposals were
drawn up, that nearly all of the political prison
ers about 700 in number have already been set
free.
General Tribe TRIBES peace manifesto is
ready, and it Will be taken to Colombia by one
OF his aids soon DR.. Silva Is authorized
to accept the generals proposals.
