sKYscRAPERs IN DANGER.
Their Steel Framework. Says a Chicago Man.
Is Rapidly COrOdins.

Chicago, March lS.-"The steel
framework in many Of the big build
ings in the business district of Chicago
is corroding, making them very danger
GUS. 1t is only question of a few
years when those buildings will fall to
the ground"
This statement was made by General
William S.Smith, at the S5th annual
dinner Of the Chicago real estate board.
He added "that the steel framework OF
some OF the skyscrapers is in the condi.
tion stated is nothing short OF public
outrage.
The speaker explained that his state
ments were based on personal observa-
tions and investigations.
THE steel framework imbedded in
concrete will last 1000 years, " he said, +,
"but the steel framework in many of
the big buildings is left free TO the ac-
tion of the air and gases which circu-
late through the tile and space about
the steel. The owners of these struc-
lures have the steel painted with oil.
This Gil will withstand the corroding
process about three years. Then begins
the eorroding OF the steel and within
few years your skyscraper will fall"
The speaker said that the elevated
road structures would not Withstand
the corrosion. He asserted that within
10 years they would be dangerous and
within 20 years out of service. The
corrosion of one-fifth of the thickness of
the steel framework of the structure,
he said, would render them incapable
OF bearing their own weight.

BOSTON CELEBRATES.
To Commemorate Evacuation Of the City by
British Troops.

Boston, March 19.-The l26th ami
yersary Of the evacuation of Boston by
the British was celebrated in South
Boston by the unveiling of monument
erected on the breastworks of the Colo
nial army on Dorchester heights. This
monument was erected by the state of
Massachusetts,, as a memorial to the
valor of the New England militia and
the military genius of Washington. A
military parade preceded the ceremony,
and following it Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge delivered an eloquent historical
oration.
Rear Admiral Schley rode in the pro-
cession with Mayor Collins. The mon
ument, which is of white granite, bears
the following inscription, written by
President Eliot, of Harvard
"On these heights, during the night
of March A, 1875, the American troops
besieging Boston, built two redoubts,
which made the harbor and town un-
tenable by the British feet and garri-
son. On March II the British fleet,
carrying $1,000 effective men and 900
refugees, dropped down to Nantucket
Roads, and thenceforth Boston was free.
A strong British force had been ex-
PEELED from one of the United Ameri-
can colonies"

FOR SHIP SUBSIDY
SENATE FINALLY DISPOSES OF
THE MEASURE
The Final Vote was AZ to 81 In Favor Of the
Measure An Amendment Limiting the
Expenditures to $4,000, 900 a Year was
tOst--FOrsisn Built Ships Shall Not Par.
tlclpats In the Benefits.

Washington, March 19.-After pro-
longed debate, the senate has passed
the ship subsidy bill, the final vote
upon the measure being ~ to 81.
Four Republicans voted against the
measure and one Democrat for it.
Some amendments to the bill we're
adopted, but they were all agreeable to
those in charge of the measure, the
friends Of the bill voting down all
other amendments. With the excep-
tion Of amendments offered by Allison
and accepted by Frye, limiting the time
OF the operation of contracts made un-
der the provisions of the bill to July |,
1920, and providing that the amount
OF the expenditure under the mail sub
sidy paragraph shall not at any time
exceed IS, 200, 900 annually, none of
the amendments agreed to materially
affected the bill as it was reported from
the commerce committee.
The vote upon the amendments be-
gan at 8 O'Clock, and such food of
them was offered that final vote upon
the bill, as amended, was not reached
until just before ololock. Amend.
ments offered by Vest, providing for
free ships" and for the application of
the provisions of the antitrust law to
the shipping industry, were rejected,
as was the amendment proposed by
Patterson, providing that no Chinese
person should be member of the crew
OF subsidized vessel. Pettus offered
an amendment providing that the total
expenditure under the bill should not
exceed So 1000, 900 10 any year. 1t was
adopted in committee of the whole,
but later in the senate was rejected by
decisive vote
The senate agreed to an amendment
offered by Spooner providing that con-
gress should have power to amend or
repeal the act, without impairing any
contract made under its authority
Hanna offered and the senate adopted
three amendments applying directly to
the acquisition by J. P. Morgan and
his associates of the Leyland line of
British ships. They provide that no
foreign built ship shall participate in
the proposed subsidy, that nothing in
the act shall be construed to prevent
American citizens or corporations from
holding or operating foreign ships in
the ocean carrying trade, and that no
foreign built ship of any line thus ac-
quired by American citizens shall be
admitted hereafter to American reg
istry.

work at very high price in preference
to yellow pine, which, it is claimed,
rots very quickly.
In order to secure complete and au-
thoritative test, the association urges
Senator Foster to introduce bill ap-
propriating a sufficient sum of money
to conduct the work in a thorough man
ner at some point in the Pacific North
west, where exhaustive tests may be
made under government supervision.
Senator Foster states that while a
number of very important timber tests
have been conducted from time to time
by both the war and navy departments,
these reports are contained in volumes
that are not accessible to the general
public. He is in favor of condensed
report drawn from authorized govern
ment tests and under government su-
pervision which will serve to show not
only the merits of fir, but of American
woods generally, and such reports to be
available for distribution or sale, as is
the case with other government docu-
ments of like nature. As a rule, the
consumer is not well posted with refer
ence to the lasting qualities of Amer
ican woods, particularly so with refer
ence to the relative strength and dura-
bility of one class as compared with
another.

with buyer at the South st. Joseph

BATTLE OF Aqua DULcE.
Eight Hundred Men on Both Sides Reported
to Have Been Killed.

Colon, Colombia, March 1.-THE
following report was obtained from the
government troops, which arrived here
yesterday from Bocas del Toro:
Upon finding the revolutionary attack
upon Aqua Dulce, February 2S, to be
irresistible, owing to the enemy's SUI
perior numbers, their artillery and
their supplies Of ammunition, General
Castro tried to retreat to David and
Chiriqui, which towns we're known to
be hard pressed by the revolutionists
under Quintero and Perez. This is a
long and tiresome march of over 200
miles. Shortly after leaving Horcon-
itos small body of government troops
was met. These men reported that
Colonel Luque had been killed in battle
and that the revolntionists we're in pos
session of David. General Castro,
therefore, decided to try to effect the
difficult march across the mountains to
Bocas de Toro. The march occupied IL
days, during the last five of which
bananas we're the only obtainable food.
Drinking water was plentiful
General Castro's soldiers report that
800 men were killed on Doth sides dur
ing the fighting at Aqua Dulce. The
revolutionists lost $50 and the govern
ment forces 250 men. 1t is also said
that the Indian chief, Lorenzo, and his
half-caste Indians participated in the
attacks and killed many of the govern
ment soldiers with machetes. The
rifle fire curing the Aqua Dulce battle
was deadly and persistent. The din
of the rifles was so great that the can
non fire could not be heard. The
slaughter and massacre at this battle
are described as something awful.
The government is confident that the
revolutionists are still unable to take
either Colon or Panama. Reinforce
ments will doubtless arrive here from
the interior.
Colonel Uribe, cousin of General
Tribe Tribe, was killed in the battle of
Aqua Dulce.

PHILIPPINE COMMERCE.
Imports and Exports Of the Islands Are Both
Showing Marked Increases.

Showing Marked Increases.
Washington, March l9.-The insular
division of the war department has
prepared for publication an extract
from its regular monthly bulletin of
the commerce of the Philippines, COM
pairing the eight months ended August
81, 1901, and 1900.
1t is shown that the total value of
merchandise imported during the eight
months ended August 81, 1901, was
$685. ,596, against $14, $50 ,457 for the
same period of 1900; and the total
value of merchandise exported during
the eight months ended August 8, 1901,
was SIG, 1886, ,405, against SIS ,928, ,Ol5 for
the same period of 1900.
The imports show an increase of So
per cent during the period of 1901 as
compared with the same period of 1900.
In the exports there was a per cent
increase in favor Of 1901. The imports
from the United States, exclusive of
gold and silver, during the eight
months of 1901, was $2,47O, ,O5O, being
an increase of 64 per cent over the
same period of the preceding year,
while the export figures show 81 $780,
6S7, or slight increase in favor of
1901.
The import figures show a gain of
nearly 81 900, 900 on foodstuffs and in
manufactured articles of nearly "a, ,0OO,-
600 for the eight months of 1901. Agri.
cultural exports for the period men,
toned show slight increase during
1901, the showing for this period being
sl4,539, 1887, of which amount 1885,
566 is accredited to hemp, the leading
article of export. The export figures of
81 ,709, ,l69 in manufactured articles for
the period of 1901 nearly doubled
those of 1900, while products of the
mines and forests show a decided in
crease over 1900.

STRIKE IS BROKEN.
Trouble Between Freight Handlers and Rail.
roads Brought to an End.

roads Brought to an End.
Boston, March l5.-Through the
united efforts of representatives of the
great mercantile bodies of the city,
seconded by the chief executive of the
city, in conference with the recognized
leaders of organized labor, the great
strike of freight handlers and kindred
trades represented in the Allied Freight
Transportation Council vas broken to-
night. Fully 10000 men, who have
been idle for four days. will go to work.
The settlement is the result OF an ex-
pressed determination of Governor
Crane and those representing the
merchants Of Boston to bring all posi-
BILE pressure to bear upon the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road Company to adopt the rules in
force upon the Boston & Maine Rail-
road forbidding freight handlers to un-
load teams except at their own option
and risk.
All of the old men for whom places
can be found will be taken back by the
railroads, but, owing to the suddenness
with which the strike was ended and
the large number Of new men who have
been installed, it is likely that many of
the old employees will find no vacancies
ready for them at present. Eventually,
it is believed, they all will regain their
old positions. Teamsters and long
shoremen will find an unprecedented
demand for their services, and traffic of
all kinds, which has been virtually at
a standstill for the past three or four
days, will be resumed with a rush,

TESTS NOT SATISFACTORY.
Pacific Coast Lumbermsn Do Not Agree With
tilbbs Report.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Foster has been notified by the Pacific
Coast Lumber Manufacturers Associa-
tion that the tests of fir conducted on a
very extensive scale at the Puget Sound
navy yard during the past summer are
not satisfactory. Secretary Victor II.
Beckman states that at meeting Of
the association held at Tacoma, Febru-
airy Is, the report of Naval Constructor
Hibbs at the Puget Sound navy yard on
the timber tests, particularly in Doug
las fir, was taken up. The association
directed the secretary to notify Senator
Foster that the report was not satisfac-
tory and did not do entire justice TO fir.
Experience, it is stated, has proved
that Mr.. Hibbs' statements with refer
ence to the lasting qualities of fir are
misleading. The association calls at
tention to railroad timbers on the
Northern Pacific railway which have
been in use IA years and show little or
no signs of rot. Also that it is well
known fact that consumers OF lumber
purchase fir for porches and outdoor

Lyddite a Boomerang.

London, March 1S.--The extraordin-
ary effect of lyddite has been revealed
by the statement that during the recent
experiments with the hulk of the old
battleship Belle Isle, shells containing
that explosive refracted fragments upon
the attacking vessel 400 yards distant.
Other fragments dropped close to gun
boat 1000 yards abeam of the line of
fire. The deduction drawn is that
when lyddite is used there is danger
for friendly vessel at least 1000
yards away. The Outlook compares
lyddite with boomerang and points
out that to be Of any service 1t must be
dropped right on board a hostile vessel
as, "if the projectile does not hit the
right place, it will fly back and slay
the SLAYER"

death of one girl employe, while at
least seven other persons we're seriously
injured. The cause Of the explosion
is not known. The front of the two

pletely out, and the plant gutted by fire
which followed the explosion. The
company manufactures railroad torpe-
does. The pecuniary loss will not ex-
ceed 10000. About three weeks ago
an explosion similar TO the one of today
occurred at the torpedo factory.

FIGHT AN OLD ONE.
Charges Against Ambassador Powell Clayton
Originated Months Ago.

Washington, March 1.-THE charges
against Ambassador Powell Clayton,
submitted to the state department,
were forwarded to him in order that he
may make reply if he cares to do so.
1t appears that the fight upon the am
bassador has been in progress for sew
eral months, and he is aware of all
that has been done by his opponents up
to this point. Now the question is for
the first time raised formally as to the
propriety of an ambassador or minister
engaging in business, or having 'finan-
cial interests in the country to which
he is accredited. 1t is believed that
there is no specific law upon the sub
ject, and it is suggested that the deter
mining point in this case will lie in
the character of Mr.. Clayton's invest
ments and to the extent which they
might seem to tend to influence his am
bassadorial actions.

Mexican Official, Not interested.

City>of Mexico, March 17.-Ambas-
sador Clayton is now out of the city,
and his reply to the charges against
him in connection with the Mealy case
cannot be had. The Mexican Herald
says that the charge that General Clay
ten is interested in Mexican mines is
simply puerile, and can only have been
introduced to throw doubt in the eyes
of the public who may fail to see the
absolute lack of connection betMeen the
fact in question and the act Of which
Mr.. Mealy complains. 1t is not trne,
the paper continues, that Mexican Off
cials are interested in these mines with
General CLAYTON.
