Is to be introduced by a wealthy New York
Congressman, who, according to the officer
of the Corcoran Art Gallery, Is personally TO
donate 3l, 100000 A relative OF this Con-
gressman has expressed an intention to
give a valuable art collection and large
sum OF money for the purchase OF examples
of Filipino, Mexican, Cuban and Porto
Rican pottery, weapons, needlework, &c.
The Board of Trustees of the Corooran
Art Gallery has informally decided not to
accept the art collection left to the gallery
by Mrs Harriet Lane Johnston, who died
at Narragansett Pier last week. Mrs.
Johnston's will stipulated that the collection
should he housed In new building. To
bviid this would cost, IL Ia estimated, 800 900,
and the value OF the collection Is said to be
only about half that amount. Therefore the
Board Of Trustees is opposed to accepting
the bequest. Among the artists repre-
sented in Mrs. Johnston's collection are Sir
Joshua Reynolds. Sir Thomas Lawrence,
George Romney. Sir William Beechy. Frans
Bourbus the younger, Jansen, John Hopp-
ner, Bernandine and Correggio. There are
in the collection a number of portraits and
busts OF President Buchanan, and letters

Buchanan and Mrs. Johnston from the

DELAY on NEW CROTON DAM,
Can't he Finished I'm October. lDO4-Exact
Cost Six and One-half Millions.

The Aqueduct Commissioners, In report
they have prepared for Mayor Low show
ing the work still to be done on the new
Croton Dam. admit that 1t s impossible to
say when the aqueduct will be finished.
They say that owing to the changes sug-
gested in the original plans by the expert
engineers who were appointed to examine
the construction of the dam, because OF
the discovery OF the insecure foundation
Of the core wall at the south end and owing
to the delays caused by the labor difficult
ties and the coal strike, the dam cannot be
completed by Oct. /, 1904, the time fixed
in the contract II is impossible to fix any
date for the final completion Of the dam,
until a sound foundation is reached in the
excavations now being made.
In another report accompanying that
Engineer w. r. Hill (since resigned), de-
scribing the necessity for removing the
core wall and embankment and substitut-
ing for it a masonry structure. II If stated:
In order to secure stable and impervions
foundation it has been necessary 70 eHcavate
the 6 c6re msGs Wa snce asn oh @ '
cavation has been In progress, ana proper
foundation has not yet been reached. II has
been found however by diSs,hsg sgordsr tesr pts ply
depth Of about fifty feet below the base or
the core wall but the depth to proper foun-
dation is not vet determined. This add.
tional depth will increase the quantities OF
excavation and masonry. rs well as delay
the completion of the work, but II is impos-
sible at this time TO determine the extent.
The base OF the dam wdens about foot IN
each additional foot of depth thus making
1t necessary TO excarate to greater Wldtn
than was at first anticipated BY reason or
this condition there is danger of underminn
n portion of the adjacent Old Croton AqueI
duct. To overcome this contingency it Will
be necessary to excavate along the founda-
ton of the aqueduct and build supporting
retaining wall to prevent it from sliding mt"
the excavation The rock under the adioin-
ing gate-house is considerably broken up or
shattered, and has many open seams. ana
while II might be sufficiently stable for firm
foundation, still 1t is not impervious to water.
Therefore, In order to prevent water from
escaping from the reservoir under the gate
house II may be necessary to excavate Ior
and build n wall along its upstream side
The extent Of this wall can only be deter
mined by further excavation. However. u
may be necessary, in case of adverse devel-
Opments TO remove and rebuild the gate
house, which is only constructed to half its
finished height
Mr.. Hill estimates that the increased cost
of carrying out the additional work neces-
sary on both the Croton Dam and the
Jerome Park reservoir will be at least
SO, 700, 900, of which 80 ais 600 will be required
for the new work on the Croton Dam.

He Is Accused Now OF Hiring Men TO
Murder His Former COachman.

SEABRIGHT, n. j., July l2.-David Lamar
Of New York, who got into tussle with
James Mcmahon, his former coachm an .
on July /, came here late last even
ing and gave bail on four different charges
After the tussle the ooachman was arrested
and gave bonds in $500 to await the action
of the Monmouth co unity Grand Jury.
He hen had a warrant issued for Lamar 8
arrest on counter charge. Since the
issuing of the warrant circumstances have
occasioned the drawing of three other
warrants. The second one. procured by
Mrs. James Mcmahon, charges Mr.. Lamar
with driving her from his place with a
crowbar.
The other two warrants allege til @ en-
ployment of men to commit murder The
last one accuses Lamar of being an accom-
| plice in an atrocious assault with attempt
| 10 kill.
| The giving of bail at this place occurred

: last Friday, when two men were held in

ceedings We're being conducted in Charles

an opportunity to arrest Mr.. Lamar. He

OPPOSED TO CANAL TREATY.
Member OF Colombian Congress Gives His
Views an Washington.

WARRINGTON, July IL 2-Sefor Pedeo
Velez. a member of the Colombian Congress,
arrived in Washington yesterday and will
leave tomorrow for New York, whence
he will sail on Tuesday for Colon. He
was In conference last night and to-day
with DR.. Thomas Herran, the Colombian
Charge d'Affaires. concerning the Panama
Canal treaty, and much interest has been
aroused over their discussion, on account
Of the possible effect 1t may have upon
the treaty's chance. Sefior Velez came
to Washington to lay before DR.. Herran
the objections OF himself and others to
the treaty, with a view to securing DR..
Herrans arguments in favor Of the measure.
II DR.. Herran succeeds In offsetting the
point made against the treaty the chances
for the ratification OF it may be greatly inn
proved when Senior Velez gets back to
Bogota.
Senior velez said that while he was re-
garded as an opponent Of the treaty he had
been careful not to prejudice the case:
His countrymen in general were opposed
to the agreement with the United States,
he said because they thought this Govern
ment had not been generous enough in the
terms offered, and the question OF trans
fer OF sovereignty also caused mucn ulssau-
isfaction. The Colombian Government, he
said, now received $3.50 900 annually from
the Panama Railroad, and only this amount
was offered by the treaty. while the
uncompleted canal, which would revert TO
the Colombian Government II the French
company fails to fulfill its contract, was
worth as it stands more than the $40 900 900
offered by the United States for the canal.
right of way, sovereignty and everything
else. He expressed the belief that the treaty
would not be passed upon at the present
special session of the Colombian Congress-
which will come to an end on July 20, and
that any decision before the end of August
was highly impro bable.
Senior Corea, the Nicaraguan Minister.
who is back in Washington from visit to
his own country, denied the report recently
circulated in New York that the Nicaraguan
Legation here would be closed for the
reason that as there was no likelihood OF the
United States undertaking to build Mica
raguan canal the maintenance OF mission
in this country was a useless expense Tor
nation as poor as Nicaragua. Sehor Corea
said that he had heard that this report was
credited to Senior Sanchez, the Nicaraguan
Minister OF Foreign Relations, but he was
confident that Senior Sanchez gave no such
information on his recent visit to this coun-
try. Senior Sanchez. he said, did not come
here TO discuss the matter Of Nicaraguan
canal treaty with Secretary Hay.

London. Dec. 19.-The Austrian Govern

has effected a corner in radium. and as
result 1t is now quoted at a7,0oo0oo a

Until few days ago 1t was quoted at

BY an order OF the Austrian Govern
ment, the further expectation Of refuse
from the uranium oxide works at

With radium costing $7. 900 900 q pound

many scientists will be compelled to cease
experimenting with 1t, for obvious rea-
