WILL DELAY OPENING
IAKONA PARK SCHOOL
Building Inspector Recommends Ac.
ceptance of Conditional Bid.

The opening OF the Takoma Park pub
lie school will probably be delayed until
October Is in order TO allow the ron
tractors to complete the second story
addition, which has just been contracted
for. Bids were opened a week ago. and
the contract awerded to Burgess &
Parsons for S19,47S. The bid of this
firm included a provision that the open
ing Of the school term be delayed until
the roo: and subhoors were in place.
Otherwise the contractors would in
crease their price by $1,000
In recommending that the smaller bid
with its condition, be accepted, Building
Inspector Ashford says
In the event that this slight loss of
time is not suffered In the fall, ii would
be necessary to start this work in
March or April, in order to finish be-
fore the opening OF the school term in
1904. so it would appear that about a
month would be lost in the fall. and
about three months If deferred until
spring"
The Commissioners have referred the
matter TO the Board of Education fer
its consideration and report.

weather. Captain Barr slowly forced Re
lance forward with a view TO giving
Shamrock her backwind. As the yachts
approached each other on the opposite
tacks. there was great excitement on the
feet. as it could not be told for GER
tain whether Reliance could cross Sham
rocks bow
The Shamrock. however, finding she
could not cross Reliance. was compelled
to give way. as the American was on
starboard tack, and held the right of
way.
Captain Barr. finding some difficulty
in getting by Shamrock in order to back
wind her, began to pinch his boat close
into the eye of the wind. Gradually he
worked out to weather. and then giving
her a hard full, drove her out ahead Of
Shamrock. so that his backwind caused
the headsails of the challenger 10
shiver.
Captain Wringe finding he was being
backwinded, sought to bluff Captain Barr
by tacking ship under his stern. Captain
Barr threw Reliance over, as Wringa
had hoped, and as the American cama
GbOuNB bAN StAblliaA spun On MS nttA
again, leaving Reliance on the port tack.
while he himself stood away to star
board. Captain Barr disdainfuIly ignored
Wringe's last move. and held along ON
his port board. Wringe, finding that he
could not get Barr to tack ship again,
came about to port himself and stood
along after the American.
It was then that the Reliance seemed
TO take on added speed. and with
spray flying from beneath her bows she
tore along. eating farther to windward
and pointing higher than the challenger
1t seemed that. barring a fluke, Reliance
would gain the time allowance against
her by the time she reached the outer
mark. The Englishman was sailing
game race and Wringe was sailing
Shamrock for all she was worth
The wind had held true and strong
at nine knots so far and there was
a general delight over the prospects
of race being made before the time
limit. Today was certainly a fair test
of the relative merits Of the boats and
shippers.

RUSSIAN PURPOSES
FRANKLY OUTLINED
Spheres of Indirect Possession Are
Being Created.

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The Times -
Russian correspondents quote an arti-
Gle in the Moscow viedomosti'' which
declares that Vice Admiral Alexieff' s
appointment to the viceroyalty of the
Far East is immensely important. The
'Yiedomosu" says:
Spheres OF Russian Indirect possess
sion are being created. and every delay
in taking the steps necessary for their
development must be fraught with the
most injurious consequences. II is pre-
eisely on the strength of this indirect
possession that our ability lastingly to
acquire territories formally belonging to
US under treaty or at the present mo-
ment under our guardianship or super
vision really rests.

have been provided with a new instru-
ment. and no delay OF vacillation in

COLOMBIAN CONGRESS
ALONE RESPONSIBLE
President Marroquin's ADJ
dress Regarding Canal.
TWO HORNS OF THE DILEMMA
Legislature Now Preparing Measure
Placing Responsibility for Treaty
Upon Executive.

Dispatches received from Bogota give
extracts from an address delivered by
President Marroquin before presenting
the Panama treaty to the Colombian
congress. He is credited with saying:
My government is confronted with
this dilemma: Either our sovereignty
must suffer detriment and we must re-
nounce certain pecuniary advantages 20
which, in the opinion OF many, we have
right. or We must vigorously maintain
our sovereignty and claim in a peremp~
tory manner the pecuniary indemnity to
which we consider ourselves entitled.
I'm the first case. by eonsenting TO tho
diminishing Of our authority and not
aspiring to an important indemnity. q
the canal should be opened through the
Panama isthTrus the Just desire of the
inhabitants OF that department and OF
all COlombians and also the government
would be satisfied. but the government
would be exposing itself to having the
charge brought against il later that it
did not duly defend our sovereignty and
that It sacrificed the interest OF the
nation
he OlneI alternative.
In the second case, should the canal
not be opened through Panama. the gov
ernment will be reproached for not hav-
ing allowed Colombia to obtain that ad-
vantage which is considered an essential
condition OF our aggrandizement
Il have already expressed my desire
that the interoceanic canal be opened
through our territory. I think that even
at the cost OF some sacrifice, we ought
not to place obstacles in the way of so
grand an enterprise, both because il will
be a gigantic material improvement TO
our country. and because once the canal
is opened by the North Americans We
shall strengthen and widen our relations
with them, which will result in an i'm
measurable gain TO our industry. COM
merce and wealth. Happily for me, tho
immense responsibility which must
weigh upon him who decides this ques-
tion must be assumed by Congress,
whose duty it is definitely TO approve OF
disapprove the agreement proposed by
the North American Government.
Shifting the Responsibility.
The dispatch concludes with the state-
ment that a great celebration was hell
in Bogota when the refusal OF the senate
to approve the treaty was announced
President Marroquin's concluding
statement. in which he places all =e-
srousibHity for the measure upon the
congress, is interesting in the light OF
recent developments. The congress is
preparing a new measure which will
place the responsibility for the canal
on President MarrOQuin- II is rumOTed
hat politicians are doing this because
the President is old and cannot remain
In Office much longer Consequently the
members of congress feel that he can
bear the blame for unpopular legisla-
ton better than other members Of the
party in power.

SHAMROCK III TO BE
