TWENTY.nOUR MAINS.
Fast Service to Be Put in Between
Chicago and New York.

Chicago, May 30-The LIST Of June will
witness the first great step toward faster
time between New YorlS and the Pa
cific coast There is a well founded re-
port that there has been an agreement
between the Pennsylvania and New York
Central officials for the fast trains to
go into effect at once and that the tine
to be made between New York and Chi
cago is to be twenty hours
This schedule is generally looked upon
as a compromise which relieves the stu
alton of the possibility of pressing the
speed to undue limits. The matter has
progressed to the point where there has
been meeting Of the New York Centrals
passenger heads called for the purpose of
arranging the time schedules between
New York and Chicago. Similar action
will be taken by the Pennsylvania. This
meeting viii be held the present week and
the settlement of this detail will be fol-
lowed quickly by the announcement of
the train. This is q shortening of the
time between New York and Chicago by
four hours below the fastest trains now
running and almost six to eight hours be-
low the ordinary trains.
Following the determination of the Chi
eago & Northwestern to put on a fast
train from Chicago to Denver by June ].
the action of the eastern lines is regarded
as having a direct bearing on the plans
for quicker time to the Pacific coast.

understood that he would occupy the
entire afternoon. but he concluded soon
after the agreement had been made. Sen
ator Quay later referred to such an ar

THE REV. DR.. MAGNIEN
CRITICALLY ILL
Death Of Eminent Baltimore Priest Be
lieved to Be Near.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-THE Very Rev.
DIT. A. L. Magnien. president emeritus OF
St Mary's Seminary. who has been seri-
ously III since last June with kidney and
heart disease. Is in a most critical con-
dition. and it is feared his end is very
near.
Dr Magnien was so near death last
Monday night that the last rites Of the
church were administered by his old
friend. the Rev DR.. Paulinus T. Dissez.
Dr. Charles ODonovan. the attending
physician, and Or. Isaac z. Atkinson,
the consulting physician, are both of
the opirion that DR.. Magnien cannot live
many hours.
In spite Of his very critical condition
DR.. Macnlon's mind is as clear as ever.
and he realizes his condition. Yesterday
Cardinal Gibbons spent some time at
his bedside, and some Of DR.. Magnien' s
friends paid what they fear will be a
last visit TO him
DIT. Magnien has not been in good
health for the past three years. He went
TO France for the benefit OF his health
and for time it was hoped that he had
been permanently cured. but early last
summer his condition became alarming.
He was removed 20 St JOseph's Hospital
and he gradually grew worse, so that he
was then anointed for death.
Then there came a change. Gradually
his condition became stronger until he
was able to go out driving He went to
Atlantic City for a few days, but soon
returned 20 St. Mary's, where he felt
so much at home. Since then his condi-
tion has become gradually weaker. and
when Ngr. Falconio, the new apostolic
delegate to this country, was given a re
ception at ST. Mary's last November,
DIT. Nagnien could not be present be
cause OF his illness.
Dr. Maguien Is one Jf the ablest and
best known priests IN America. For
TWENTY-FIVE years he was at the head OF
;he old Seminary OF St. Sulpice, and
much of it's present prosperity Is due TO
his remarkable executive ability. He
has been the friend and adviser Of Cardi-
nal Gibbons for many years. and his emf
nence had the highest regard for his
learning and piety. They we're frequently
together and Dr. Magnien used to ac-
company the cardinal on many OF his
trips.

MORE MONEY NECESSARY
FOR MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Report to Be Made to Con-
greSS Committees.

Col. John Biddle. the Engineer Com
terday afternoon with Mr.. stewardson.
Of the firm OF Cope & stewardson. OF
Philadelphia. who we're given the award
In the competition for plans for the pro-
posed municipal building. The views Of
the architect were obtained with refer
ence to the next practicable step to be
taken.
He stated 10 Colonel Biddle that the
site Of the proposed building is too small
for the structure desired. and that the
amount Of money available is far too
small for the proper exterior Of a build
ing so large and important as this will
be, Mr. Stewardson advised II an effort
was to be made either to enlarge the
site or to secure more money for the
structure now is the time to do It be-
fore any attempt Is made to carry out
the construction plans on the basis OF
the appropriation already made
Mr.. Stewardson afterwards called upon
J. Knox Taylor, supervising architect Of
the Treasury, and made a similar state
ment 10 him.
After these conferences with thearchi-
tect the commission in charge Of the
erection OF the building were more than
ever impressed with the idea that the mat
ter should be presented to the commit
tees OF Congress in the form Of a report
OF the facts as they now stand. There
was To meeting Of the commission yes
terda,. but several OF its members com
municated with one another by telephone
and the conclusion stated was arrived
at II is understood the commission will
authorize Mr.. Taylor. its professional
adviser. to draw up a report 70 be sub
mitted at an early date to the House
and Senate Committees on Buildings
and Grounds, with a view 10 such action
as may seem best from the standpoint
OF Congress.
The District Commissioners are OF the
opinion that a larger site for the build
ing should be provided, and that al least
$1,000 600 should be added to the appro-
priation for the building. II both can
not be obtained. then they believe the
latter appropriation should be made 70
construct the building on the site already
purchased.
