NEWS OF THE ALEXANDER.

She Was Sighted the Day After Mate

Belated news of the naval collier Alex
ander was received at the Navy Depart
ment this morning through a telegram for
warded by the commandant of the New
York navy yard from Captain Johanson,
master OF the bark Record, which has just
arrived at Darien. Ga, from the West In

Master Johanson says that he sighted the
Alexander in latitude q degrees and Z
minutes and longitude II degrees and sc
minutes on the 18th instant, with a broken
shaft. heading north with staysails set
and that the captain of the vessel asked to
report. 1t appears from this report that
the Alexander was practically in the same
locality as she was when left by Mate
Adamson on the evening of tie 10th In
slant a few hours after the accident.
Four naval vessels are now in search OF
the Alexander and navigators of those wa
tiers have been requested to keep a sharp
lookout for the drifting vessel. Outside
of the accident to her machinery she is In
good condition, and being we'll proyisioned
her captain and crew OF thirty men will
undoubtedly be able to resist the elements
for some time. 1t Is expected that she will
be picked up either by a passing steamer
or by one of the searching vessels.

BIDS WERE TOO LARGE
ExcEEDED. APPROPRIATION FOB
FILTRATION PLANT.
Congress VIII Probably Be Asked to
Come to the Rescue Of
the District.

Tho two bids for-the entire construction
OF the proposed filtration plant Of thu Dis
trict OF Columbia, submitted yesterday to
Lieut.. Col. A. H. Miller. Corps OF Engi-
neers, A. 8. A.. In charge OF the Washing
ton squeduct are not within the appropria-
ton for the work, and, as q result, Wash
ington viii not have a new system of filtra-
ton as soon as was originally expected.
and Il Ia thought that Congress viii Be
asked to come to the rescue.
The appropriation for the filtration plant
Is 81 .358.17S The bids for the entire work
were from Harmer & Quinn Construction
Company and the D. ]. Mcr9ici1ol Company,
both OF Philadelphia. and were far in excess
Of the. approrrlat ton, being $l961, 183,. and
$2,1S0,710, respectively.
In accounting for the size of the bids.
Colonel Miller stated this morning that
since the Estimates for the work were made
prices for materials used in the construction
to % per cent
upon the bids to General Gillespie. chief Of
engineers OF the army. to whom all such
matters are referred for his consideration.
In View Of the fact that the price Of ma
stood that Colonel Miller, in his report to
the War Department. has recommended
that Congress be asked TO appropriate addi-
tional funds for the proposed plant.
Despite this. state OF affairs, Col. Miller
is extremely hopeful. and in reply to an in
quiry said he thought that his expectations
relative to the plant would be ultimately
realized. Under the provisions Of the spec

REMEMBERING LOTS.
Suggests the Introduction Of a Bill 1t
the Present Session Of !.
Congress. .

The committee appointed by the District
Commissioners to formulate a plan for re-
numbering and describing lots Of land IN
the District outside the city Of Washington
has submitted its report to the authorities
and has suggested the Introduction OF, q
bill on, the subject at the present session
OF Congress. The committee consisted OF
A. B. Duvall, corporation counsel; Henry
B. LOCKER, the District surveyor; w. r.
Richards, assistant engineer in .charge OF
street extensions, and g. T. Kalbfus, arst
assistant assessor. The proposed bill re-
ported. by the coinmattee carries an appro-
prfation Of $4,000 for the work involved.
It is considered sufficient to provide five
sets of taxation and assessment plat books
fer the county, each Of which sets Will
have to be kept up to date In each Office TO
which It Is assigned.
It Is suggested that a set should be in the
special assessment division Of the assessors
Office, one In the Office Of the computing
assistant assessors, one in the surveyors
office, and finally one additional complete
set In the surveyors office, which shall be
brought up to given date and then kept
inviolate as the standard of the new system
Of description The bill proposed by the
committee is an amendment to the act OF
March 3, 1899, IAN act to distinctively des-
fgnate parcels of land Ia the District Of CO.
lumDla IOr purposes OF assessment anu tdA-
alton" The new system Of county desig-
nation will be accomplished through the fol-
lowing provision in the bill:
THAT the Commissioners of the District
Of Columbia are hSreby authorised and d.
rected to give numbers to all the county
blocks in said District, formed by the plans
Of the highway extension now on record In
the office of the surveyor Of said District,
and to place said block numbers upon the
said records Of the highway extension:
Provided, That when any such block Is
composed Of two or more contiguous blocks
Of existing subdivisions, with duplicate lot
numbers, the fractional blocks may be
further distinguished by prefixing appro-
pirate initials of compass points to the new
block number, until such time as the dupli-
cations Of lot numbers cease, when the pre-
fix shall be dropped"
The other sections of the bill provide for
the preparation Of the plat books suggested
by the committee. Surveyor LOCKER adds
to the report Of the committee that he
hopes that some time soon the principle
proposed and the large plat books may be
made applicable to the city as well as to the
county.
