Absolutely none" he replied. '.About
two years ago some man brought to the
department drawings Of the building after
such change had been made, but they
were not even considered officially. There
Is no present prospect that the general

HAVANA'S CLEANLINESS.
Capt. Philip Enthusiastic Over the
Cuban Capital.

Capt. j. Van Ness Philip, assistant chief
of the insular bureau of the War Depart
ment, has returned to this city from a
short visit to Havana. He escorted Miss
Roosevelt, the Presidents daughter, and
Mrs. Beale Of this city to the Cuban CAPT.
tai. Mrs. Beale has also returned to this
city. Miss Roosevelt remained behind to
spend the Easter holidays with Mrs. Wood.
Capt. Philip is most enthusiastic about
the beauty and improvement of Havana,
and says 1t is the cleanest city that he ever
saw and he has travelled considerably. AL
though he did not like to make an inyidious
distinction, it was a fact, he said, that
Washington city did not compare at all
favorably with Havana in the matter Of
cleanliness. The system at the Cuban CAPT.
tai for keeping the streets clean is nearly
perfection, a large force Of white wings
being constantly employed in removing
debris of every character from the street,
almost as soon as it has accumulated.

TWIRLS HIS KEY RING.
A Habit of Senator Hoar When Inter
ested in the Proceedings.

Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts has a
habit that now and then becomes especial
ly prominent when he is attending to the
proceedings of the Senate, and is unusually
interested in what is being said At such
times he frequently takes, his bunch of
KEYS from his pocket and twirls the key
ring on his finger. There are nearly a
dozen KEYS on this ring, all small and
bright. During the course Of some absorb
ing incident in the Senate this ring will
make several trips from the senator's pock-
ct to be twirled in an unobtrusive way,
then to be laid aside in retirement.

In regard to the Commissioners fixing

at 20 per cent. so as to provide for any

cent to the city, and 80 per cent of the land
on 18th street for mile of it's length i'm

About year or more ago a bill was in
troduced in the Senate, which met the ap-
proVal of the Senate District committee and
the Commissioners, which proposed to ap-
propriate S33, 100 to secure the right of Way
through the first three pieces Of land on
14th street extended next adjacent to the
city, covering a distance of 1875 running
feet. No physical improvement was pro-
posed and the government got the benefit
of no donations. Since then the plan to

Ii per cent not dedicating is in trust or

that Congress appropriate in its discretion
to start the Improvement of the street and
