FOR HEATING PURPOSES.
Boilers May Be Placed Under the Side
walks

According TO a ruling just made by the
District Commissioners boilers for heating
purposes may be placed under sidewalks.
The matter came up on the application of
II. A. Willard to place boilers for heating
purposes in the vault under the sidewalk on
18th street in front of a proposed building
now being constructed between E and +
streets. The new building regulations which
went into effect March 1, 1902, provided
that no boilers should be placed beneath
sidewalks. There was no exception made.
Commissioner Ross recommended that as
the boiler intended was low-presSure one,
to be used only for heating purposes, and
would cause neither danger nor annoyance.
and could not interfere with the conve-
nience. comfort or safety of any pedestrian
passing over the sidewalk. the regulation
be amended.
Capt Newcomer, acting Engineer Com
missioner. protested against such changed in
the new regula tions. Today, however, Com
missioner Macfarland announced that after
further consideration he agreed that para
graph 4. section 123, of the new building
regulations should be amended by insert
ing a provision excepting steam boilers for
heating purposes carrying less than ten
pounds of steam. This being the wish of
the majority of the board, Capt. Newcom-
er's objection wos overruled and the
new amendment ordered.

General Booth, who is in Berlin, in which

AS the day progressed the crowds around
Buckingham palace augmented, and the
cautious wording of the early bulletin was

This was regarded as being somewhat
more favorable and the good impression
which it created was enhanced by the ar
rival at the palace shortly afterward of
the Duke and Duchess of Aosta, who came
from Dorchester House to lunch with the
royal family. The observers deduced there
from that unless the kings condition was
fairly satisfactory the queen would not
have entertained the visitors for she has
been unremitting in nursing her husband,
and has hitherto been constantly at his

veterans who were to take part in the cor

troops this morning. The ragged, sun
burned troopers were much affected when
they received the news of the kings dan

A final effort was made today to have the
naval review carried out in some fashion,
since it was considered deplorable that so
many warships, home and foreign. should
disperse without any official inspection; but
the government leader in the house of COM

impossible. The admiralty has announced
that all entertainments planned for the
officers and crews of the ships off Spithead
have been Cancelled.
Admiral Sir Chas Hotham, in command
of the British fleet off Spithead, received
