District of Columbia has been agitated for
number of years, and it was only last
year that acts were passed providing for
the work. These acts are presumed TO
have preserved the equities between the
United States and the District on the one
hand. and the railroads on the other.
The changes directed in the present
bill are mainly the evacuation of the
Mall. and the building of a large union
station north of Massachusetts Avenue. Ii
Is considered that the evacuation of the
Mall is worth to the United States the
million and a half asked for it. and the
Baltimore and Potomac spends nearly
-FOUR million dollars additional
Cost of Work.
The cost of the work done by the Bal
timore and Ohio. according to the present
bill, does not greatly exceed that directed
by existing legislation, and if the south
ern connection is left out, it is less than
that. On the other hand, the railroad
company does not seek this change. and
claims that it will be at a considerable
disadvantage in handling its freight bust
ness, and also at a considerable increased
expense in handling the passenger bust
ness due to the extra terminal charges
THE District of Columbia pays for
these changes a sum which should not
exceed two million dollars. and which will
probably be considerably less.
The Commissioners are of the opinion
that it is for the best interests of the
District that this bill should become a
law"

and paving, 100000; cost of real estate
property due to change of grade. 5000 900.
Question of Damages.
"The last item is. OF course, very uncer-
tain, as it is very difficult to estimate
accurately what damages will be given
by the courts. In addition TO the above,
existing legislation requires an expendi-
ture in South Washington. estimated in
previous reports as $4,000; for grading
and paving and for damages to property,
$4,000 total. $4,000.
This is $50 coo less than what is esti-
mated in this section under existing legis-
lation, as work in connection with the
main tracks leading into the Mall will not
be necessary.
The total cost of the changes is esti-
mated as follows: Work done by rail-
road companies, S13 ,073, 103; work done by
the District, with damages TO the proper
ty, S1,IlU,000; making a total of S14, 3d.

This would be apportioned as follows:
Railroad companies, Sl0,073 1903; United
States and District OF Columbia. 81 40 900
tof which the District pays s1.e35, OOo).
While the figures presented by the
railroad companies are liberal, it is con-
sidered that they will spend at least the
amounts named as the estimate is 81 000,-
900 for union station and foundations.
and it is probable that the actual cost
will exceed this

GIFT TO ART MUSEUM.
Rubens' "Holy Family" Given to the
Metropolitan.

NEW YORK, April is. - The Rubens
Holy Family for which $4,000 was paid
at the recent sale of paintings Of the
late F. o. Matthiessen, who had paid more
than $50 600 for 1t abroad, was presented
today to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
by James Henry Smith.
Mr. Smith bought the picture of George
p. Blow, of Chicago, who purchased it at
the Matthiessen sale and intended to take
it West with him and place it In mu-
scum out there. Through much persua-
sion and the intercession of the mem
hers of the Matthiessen family Mr.. Blow
consented finally to relinquish the picture
to Mr.. Smith for the price he paid for it.
for the purpose for which Mr.. Smith de-
sired it--that Of giving 1t to the museum.
The negotiations. which were conducted
through Thomas E. Kirby, OF the Ameri-
can Art Galleries, were concluded today.

in the way of closed streets granted the
railroads, 1t is difficult to make a dis
tinction between that allowed the Balti-
more and Ohio and that allowed the Bal
timore and Potomac, as they will occupy
so much of it in common.
In general it may be said that the
Baltimore and Ohio receives less public
land in the way of streets closed under
the present bill than it does under ex-
listing legislation, while the Baltimore
and Potomac receives considerably more,
leaving out the vacating of the Mall,
which is separately considered.
THE total amount of streets closed Is
somewhat greater under the bill than I'M
der existing legislation. This increased
occupation is. however, mostly in the way
of further closing of streets already
closed and as in all cases the abutting
property on the closed streets will have
TO be bought by the railroad, and as free
communication is to be maintained there
Will be little damage to the public ard
the expenses of keeping up the streets
will be saved
Equities Maintained.
Many of the streets to be vacated liz
the companies, are, on the contrary, quite
important. being long lengths of streets,
such as First street northeast, and the
right of way of the Baltimore and Ohio
between Delaware Avenue and Winthrop
Heights. It is therefore considered that
as far as land is concerned the equities
have been maintained

CADETS FINE GUNNERY.
Remarkable Records Made at Annapolis
From Moving Tug.

Some remarkable target practice with
a six-pounder briggs gun by cadets of
the first class at the Naval Academy has
been reported to the Navy Department.
The distances were 100 and 300 yards
and the shots were fired from the tug
Standish while she was going at about
eight knots. The target. sixteen by TWEEN
ty feet was made of wire netting. and no
shot was counted hit unless it knocked
hole in the target.
Each cadet was given ninety seconds
firing time. In that brief period Cadet J.
II. Blackburn got in thirteen shots and
made thirteen hits. Cadet F. V. Hall
made fifteen hits out OF sixteen shots.
The best record in rapidity of fire was
made by Cadet f. c. Martin. who fired
twenty one times, making thirteen hits.
The records o. the other cadets were:
II. ID. Wallace. twelve shots and seven
hits; C. SINNERS. jr.. seventeen shots and
eleven hits, and W. G. Diman. twenty

He said that he saw no reason to keep
out the yellow Chinese and admit the
black, white, and spotted races from
Asia and Africa and the islands OF the
sea. He favored an amendment allowing
the admission of Chinese agricultural la
borers and house servants, who. he said,
would not compete with any classes in

LIBERTY'S Light TO
SHINE ONCE AGAIN
Rays to Greet Incoming Trav-

War Department Arranges for Current
to Be Supplied From Bedloe's
Island Plant.

The light on the Statue of Liberty in
New York Harbor. which has been dim,
through the action of Congress is once
again to shed its beams across the sea
and greet the weary mariner as he nears
Americas shores.
Although it had been decided that from
the standpoint of the navigator this light
was not an actual necessity. from the
purely sentimental view il has appealed
to many who have looked for its radiant
glow when approaching the shores of
home, sweet home" from a trip of large
or even small length abroad, and there
will be general rejoicing when it becomes
known that its rays are once more to
greet the weary traveller.
The Secretary of War has determined
that the electric plant at Bedlce's Island
is sufficient to supply current to light the
lamp in "Liberty's' hand, and has di-
rected that 1t be used for this purpose.
He directed Adjutant General Coribn to
send the following letter to Major Cen
eral Brooke yesterday:
The following memorandum of the Sec
rotary of War is furnished for your in
formation and guidance:
After personal conference with the
Secretary Of the Treasury, and with the
approval of the President. the electrical
apparatus which was turned over to the
War Department with the Statue of Lib
erty at Bedloe's Island, in New York Har-
Dor, will be retained and employed in
furnishing light to the military post. in
GLIDING the light upon the statue, until
further orders. You will direct the gen.
eral commanding the Department of the
East accordingly. ELIHU ROOT

The members Of the Board OF Trade

az application was received from a dealer
in coal and grain in the state Of Illinois,
asking for q membership Some OF the
members OF the board were al q loss to
account for his wanting TO become mem

NEEDS A LARGER MILL
Mr. watson Could sell DOuble the
Amount of Flour He an Grind.

The new Nevling elevator was yester-
day unloading thirty cars of wheat for
Mr. Watson, OF the Watson mills. The
Watson mill has assumed such proper
t;cns that its own elevator was too small
and the big Nevling elevator is proving a
great convenience TO the mill.
Some Of the men at the elevator yester-
day said that Mr.. Watson was doing a
big business. He had thirty cars OF
wheat in the yards yesterday and forty
two last Saturday They said he had
recently sold $1,000 barrels OF -four and
had bought $4,000 bushels of wheat.
which is now being delivered. The wheat
was secured here. or rather in the coun-
try west of this city and in Oklahoma.
and is all bought subject to Wichita in
spection.
The business of the Watson mill has
grown at such a rate as to surprise Mr.
Watson. He expected to Go business when
n built his mill here, but he had no idea
that he could sell double the amount of
-four his mill could grind 1t Is the in
tcntion of Mr. Watson to double the ca
pacity Of MS mill before another harvest
and the work will be commenced just az
soon as there is a reasonable assurance
that another crop Of wheat will be raised
next year. The product of the Watson
mil is in demand. and all over the coun-
try Kansas hard wheat -four is constantly
growing in favor
