days, which I believe is unavoidable, but freight
trains are in full operation This traffic involves

The President and Southern Republican.

In conversation at Oyster Ray with
Chairman Cecil Lyon, of the repuhlican
state committee of Texas. President
Roosevelt said some very severe things
about certain type of republican fact
ionists-the type which exerts itself only
TO obtain recognition as the leadingYart-
ION, to monopolize patronage and yet
delegates to conventions. and is nayar
known by effective work on election dav
The President expressed himself as al
together dissatisfied and impatient with

IL was learned that the President told
Chairman BabcOck, OF the repubEcan
congressional campaign committee when
Mr.. Babcock was at Oyster Bay n fevv
days ago. that he was profoundly disenn-
tented with the Virginia republican or

Plans For The New Bridge Over The Potomac
Al Washington.

Col Charles j. Allan, of the Corps of
Engineers. has been instructed by Col
sanger, the acting Secretary of War, to
oeSln work at once preparing plans and
specifications for the highway bridge
which is to be built across the Potomac
as a partial substitute for the Lono

tracks Tor electric cars, and will have n
wide roadway for vehicles. On either
side OF the bridge will be walks eight feet
wide and the space between the walks
will be forty feet. The bridge will con
sist of eleven spans. each of which will
be ZIG feet long. Ii will have a reyoIy-
in- draw span 800 feet long. The side
walks are TO be OF granolithic paving
material and the roadways will be of
asphalt supported on steel bucket plates
Electric motors will operate the draw.
The cars will be operated by under
ground wire at the Washington end of
the bridge and on the bridge and at the
Virginia end overhead trolleys will be
used. Earth approaches will be used
across Potomac Park, at the end with
the exception OF a steel girder, which will
cross portion of the tidal reservoir.
space OF 100 feet feet is to be left between
the south end of this embankment and
the sea wall for a walk and driveway.
The board has suggested that the earth
embankments across Potomac Park can

Dlnbury. Conn., May "a disastrous ire to-
night wiped out the entire business portion OF
the town OF Milford. and did at least
100000 damage Almost without exception the
buildings composing the business portion OF the
town are wooden structures. and flying sparks
and the rapidly spreading flames soon gave the
town the appearance Of roaring furnace
Young's Hotel was the first building TO
cumb to the flames. and the wind. which was
changing, quickly spread destruction in all di~
rectiOns At 10 o'clock it was impossible to
reach New-Nfilford by telephone. II was
learned however. that the principal buildings
burned were YOung's Hotel the New-Engiand
House, the New-AIilfOrd House and the New
Milford Savings Bank The railroad station and
the National Bank Building were seriously
threatened.
At midnight the fire was still burning, but
owing TO the fact that all communicate with
the town was cut of. II was impossible TO learn
further details.
