REBUILDING A CITY.
National Capital Rapidly Taking on
 New Aspect.

Washington Special.
 The past ten years has witnessed a spirit of progression in the beautitying process of the national capital that has had no precedent in any period of thrice ten years of local history. This tendency is not confined to any one section of the city nor 1t is confined to the efforts of Congress. as some insist. The very handsomest kind of private business houses are rapidly supplanting the char actcristic two-story brick houses. dating all the way from the period contempora- neous with President Washington to the time of the Civil War. which seemed per- sistently to defy the spirit of progress that marked the undertaking process of other cities. Large. handsome six and seven-story business houses are being erected at all the prominent corners. Within four years two of the finest hotels have been opened. Within that period, too, the congressional library has been thrown open to the public; the great Carnegie library building Is in progress of erection and architects are preparing plans to restore the venerable White House to something better than it's pre- sent character of monument to the memory of d decadcnt architecture. The plans contemplate the establishment of the historic dwelling of the presidents to beauty it possessed at the time President Madison and Dolly Madison occupied it. It is unnecessary to state that these embellishments will he observable mainly
 in the interior arrangements. But the most decided step forward will be noticed when the new union station Is completed, which Congress is about to authorize. This structure is intended to prove the finest union depot in the world, and probably the largest. The cost Is to be something like $5. 800 600 or sG.O00.OOO and
 it is calculated that 1t can be completed in time for the next Presidential inaugu- ration. in 1905
 Thus the old landmarks which so long made Washington the most unique and one of the most antique of American cities are gradually being wiped out. The city is becoming much more of business center than 1t was even up to decade past, Congress Is thoroughly aroused to the importance of the progress sive tendencies of the times, and con templates series of improvements that are almost revolutionary in the archl
