From the beginning of the Christian era
to the present time, the hope has been com

older and wiser a period would eventually
be reached so abundant in moral and Chris

differences between nations would be &C
complished by arbitration, and further APP

tition to the executive board of the Mine

of the Wyoming operators to take similar

of a number of striking miners at Nanti-

SENATOR cARMACK RETURNS.
Says His Trip With Bryan Was a Sue
cess

Senator Carmack Of Tennessee arrived in
Washington today from his trip to Boston
and Maine, where he spoke in conjunction
with Col. William Jennings Bryan In OPEN
ing the democratic congressional campaign
Mr.. Car1nack declares the trip to have been
a success In every way. THE reception We
received, both In Boston and In Maine. was
magnificent" he remarked to a Star re-
porter this afternoon. lat Boston the meet
ing was held in an immense tent, but even
that was far from sufficient to accommo-
date the crowd which attended. At Rock
land, Me-, the meeting was held at o'clock
in the morning. but notwithstanding the
early hour there was an immense crowd In
attendance, and the enthusiasm was at high
pitch"
Col Bryan Is now IN Connecticut cortin-
uing his addresses. Mr.. Carmack says that
all of the topics touched on-trusts, i'm
perialism and the tariff-were well received
by the people Mr.. Carmack expects to 20
to his home In Tennessee shortly, or as he
puts it, as soon as his work here in eonnec-
ton with the preparation OF the campaign
literature had ceased. which he said would
doubtless be IN a Short time.
Chairman Griggsss of the democratic con-
gressional committee will go to New York
tomorrow on compaign matters. Mr.. Grfggs
expects to be absent from headquarters for
several days.

SPACE ON SIDEWALKS.
Matter Of Avoiding Opportunity to
Display Goods.

For some time past there has been dissen-
sion among the business people along the
north side OF Louisiana avenue between 9th
and 9TH streets as to the amount of
space that should be occupied on the wide
sidewalk for the display of auction goods
etc. 1t is said good deal of i'll feeling has
been engendered and the matter has been
brought before the Police Court on several
occasions. Today it was brought officially
to the attention of the District Commission
ers. A hearing was granted at IL o'clock
to the merchants who desire to use the
sidewalk space for display purposes and
those who oppose the alleged encreachment
on public space.
Charles w. Darr appeared as attorney for
a number of the auctioneers on the avenue
who have submitted a petition asking that
they be allowed to occupy a space of ten
feet in the center of the sidewalk in front
of their premises. Mr.. Darr said the side
walk was fifty feet wide. The proposed
scheme would allow sidewalk twenty feet
in width next to the curb another walk OF
twenty feet next to the buildings, with ten
feet between for the display of goods 1t
was asked that this be allowed on account
OF the peculiar conditions existing on Loui-
siana avenue, which. it was argued, are
different from those prevailing elsewhere,
with the exception of the vicinity of Center
Market, where the commission merchants
are allowed sidewalk space. Mr.. Darr said
sidewalk space was essential to the bus
mess engaged in by his clients and that to
deprive them OF it would be to virtually
drive them out of business. Mr.. Darr de-
clared that only five people out of about
thirty-five engaged i'm business on the block
objected to the occupation Of the ten-foot
space
Morris Rosenberg appeared in behalf of
the r. P. Andrews Company and asked that
the firm be allowed to keep its cellar doors
open throughout the day. Recently he said
the firm had been called into court for al
lowing the doors to remain open few min
utes after some goods had been deposited
below.
w. c. Clephane appeared for the Emery
estate. which owns considerable property
on Louisiana avenue He argued in favor
of granting the request of the auctioneers.
l. Q. H. Award appeared for those who
oppose the occupancy of the sidewalk space.
He referred to the goods displayed as mere
'Junk' and said the unsightly Instructions
should no longer be allowed.

THE MANILA ARMY POST.
Excellent Progress Being Made Ac-
cording to Reports.

Reports have reached the War Depart
ment that excellent progress is making on
the Manila post. Congress appropriated
100000 early In the year and 800 acres of
land on the Pasig river has been acquired
for the post. The tract is about three
miles long and one mile wide. Roads have
been graded and macadamized from the
river to the new buildings. and work on
the latter is being pushed rapidly. The
lumber for these quarters is sent from the
Columbia river and Puget sound
1t costs about SIS thousand. and about
$40 a thousand more for transportation, but
the total cost Is cheaper than it can be pur-
chased for In Manila
There was appropriated in the army bill
d.1O9.VUO for other posts in the Philippines
and Gen. Chaffee VIII make reports and
recommendations to Secretary Root as to
their location. 1t is understood that quite
large post is to be erected at uoilo. which
is to be the headquarters of the southern
islands.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Estimates for Improvements Submit
ted by the Commission.

The Mississippi river commission having
in charge the works Of improvement of the
river from the mouth Of the Ohio to the
head of the passes. has submitted Its an
nual report to the chief of engineers. The
estimates for the fiscal year 1904 are as
follows: Continuing work under the COM
mission. $2.O0o.o0O: protection of banks at
Charlottesville. $50. 600; harbor at Memphis,
Tenn. $4,000; harbor at Greenville, Miss,
SO. 900; preservation of works at Delta
Point. La. 5000: harbor at Natchez,
Miss. and Vidalia. La, 500. 900; rectifica-
ton of Red and Atchafalaya rivers, La,
$50 900: harbor at New Orleans La, $780,
600.
On the first of the present fiscal year
balance Of s.. 5S9 .264 was available for i'm
prGvements Of the river. A statement is
made showing that since the organization
of the commission in 1879 until the present
time the total amount appropriated for
that portion of the Mississippi river I'M
der the commission has been $43, 572, 693
The report speaks Of the success of the
dredging fleet and recommends an increase
in the number and capacity, by which the
present standard depth 8 feet and $50 feet
wide at low water can be increased to ad-
vantage. The report further states that
owing to the failure of any appropria-
tions since 1900 work has been restricted to
such repairs of existing work as were pos
Sible with the balances on hand
The report shows that the improvements
heretofore made are generally in a good
condition, but in places damage has &C.
CURED by reason of lack Of funds to carry
out existing projects. Speaking particular
ly of the levees, the report says:
The cubic yardage of the levees lost by
caVing during the past year has been about
three-quarters of l per cent of the amount
already in place. The average amount an
nually lost for the past six years during
which time records have been kept, is not
in excess of two-thirds of / per cent 1t Is
probable that in the near future this rate
of loss will be temporarily increased, owing
to the proximity of caving banks in many
localities. In several cases the question OF
a new location Is complicated by the ex-
istence of old river lakes or other obstruc-
ttons in the immediate rear of the levee
line"
1t is shown that in the construction of
levees along the Mississippi river during
the past year the United States has built
33l ,6I9 cubic yards and the states by which
the river flows /, 473, 1872 cubic yards.
In connection with the surveys of the
river the report says: "Releyeling parts of
the line along the lower river has shown
discrepancies which indicate geological
disturbance along the shore of the Gulf Of
Mexico. The interesting question thus
raised makes it highly important that the
line below the older formations on the
river bank which give relative assurance
OF the stability of the earth's surface
should be rerun at proper intervals"
