AS STORIES HIGH.
New York Plans Record Break
ing Sky Scraper.
1t Will Rise $50 Feet Above the
Curb.
TO COST $4,000, 900.
To Be Used for City Hall and
Railway Terminals.
Would Save 100000 a Year
in Rents.

New York, July 3.-Plans for a
gigantic city office building and termi-
nal for railways and bridges were pre-
sented to the board of estimates today
by Bridge Commissioner Lindenthai
The building is to be 45 stories high and
its ultimate cost $50 200, ,0O0 The plans
look to the immediate appropriation OF
50. 100000
The building rises $50 feet above the
curb line. An enormous campanile, to
be devoted to office use, is the most
striking feature of the plans. The
building is to be erected in Chambers
street, in front of City Hall park, and
on the site of the present bridge ter
minal. The campanile is designed by
Henry Hornhostel, who prepared the
plan to form the inner corner group OF
the municipal buildings. 1t stands in
Center street, opposite the present hall
OF records, on the site of the Stats
Zeituns building, and extending from
Chambers street to Duane street.
From the base line to the thirty-fifth
story it rises as a straight granite shaft
l2O feet square. From this point, which
is relieved by four turrets a the corners
1t is extended upward in the form of
a pyramid to the roof
The plans are to be carried out by
the city al an ultimate expense of ap-
proxlnately $50,000,000, in order that the
various city departments, courts, and
officials may be properly housed, and
that the bridge terminal and rapid tran
sit terminal facilities may be of the
best.
The plans look to the immediate ap-
preparation of So, ,925, S25 for the great city
department building and the railroad
station. OF this amount 81 $40 600 is the
estimated cost of the land to be ac-
quired and $4,445, ,S25 is the estimated
cost of the buildings.
The tower, three floors and basement
of the east section of these buildings
are to be used exclusively as terminal
stations for the subway, surface, end
elevated railroads and the Brooklyn
traffic. Above the station floors are five
office floors, with $4,000. square feet in
each, or about 180, 900 square feet alto
gether.
At 81 a square foot the rentals for
$50, 900 square feet would equal $500, ,0OC
saved from the rent roll of the city.
1t is proposed the campanile be built
at first only to the roof level of the hall
of records and provided with a tempor-
airy roof. Later. when more office space
should be required, the campanile can
be built up to the full height of $50
feet. In that way 100000 square feet
can be added TO the $50. 600 square feet
below it.

DEPENDS ON THE CAR.
He Alone Will Decide About the
Jewish Petition.

ST Petersburg, July 3.-President
RoOsevelt's decision to forward TO the
Russian government the petition in be-
half of the Russian Jews is not pub
lished here. hTe foreign officials have
made the following statement:
1.-The czar alone can decide whether
the petition will be received, but Alex
ander III would never have received
such a petition. The petition from the
Guild hall meeting, called by the lord
mayor of London in 1891, was returned
through the foreign office, as being IN
convenient. The foreign office hopes the
Americans will not invite such a slight.
They would resent an anu-lynch1ng pc
tition. The foreign office has no special
interest in the question, except desire
that international relations remain un-
harmed since the matter is purely do
mestic and belongs to another minis
teriaI department"
In an article which in official circles
is declared to be inspired, the Novoe
United States government that Russia
should grant American Jews free access
to Russian territory
The Novoe Vremya declares that if
all American citizens were admitted
to Russia 1T would not be long before
thousands of Jews who have left Rus
sia for various reasons would refiock
to Russia in the guise of American
citizens. just as they are doing in
Roumania Bulgaria and Turkey. If
Russia acceded to the United States
wish she could not refuse to grant sim.
liar privileges in the case of other
countries and would soon undergo q
perfect invasion of foreign Jews"
The Novoe Vremya also refers to the
United States restricting immigration,
and concludes:
while Russia in no way assumes
the right of criticizing the internal
measures of the United States, on the
other hand she will not tolerate the least
interference in her private affairs on
the part of Americans"

MISLEADING.
The Porte Is Accused of Prac-

In Denying to Europe the Con-
centration of Troops.

Sofia, July "a semi official state
ment was issued today as follows.
Contrary to the denials of the porte,
the concentration continues on the Bull
garian frontier of strong detachments
OF Turkish infantry, cavalry and artil-
lery. The endeavors of Turkey to deny
these authenticated facts while stimuli
taneously reinforcing the detachments
which cannot be necessary in fighting
revolutionists, tends to show that Tur-
key is Intentionally eoncealing the true
objects of these military measures and
is misleading Europe by circulating
false reports regarding Bulgaria and her
intentions.

New Method Discovered for Extermi-

Boston. Mass, July s.-The Brookline
board of health. which is systematically
extermira ting mosquitoes by means of
kerosene oil, is now about to take UP a
suggestion calling attention to a new
process for lessening the evil by means
OF musical sounds. The discoverer of
the new process says:

pltcation has been effected by raising
to great number of vibrations per
second the particular note to which the
mosquito is most sensitively attuned.

instrument causes every mosquito near
to plunge headlong to the instrument

RUMOR Of CHANGES.
Russian Minister Of War, Gen. Kuro-
patk1n, to Become Governor
of the Caucasus.

Paris, Sept. 30.-Omcial advices from
st. Petersburg indicate that Gen. SAX
haroff, the chief of state, will soon sue
coed Gen. Kuropatkin as minister Of
war. The latter shared with M. White,
the president of the council of ministers
and former minister of finance, the dis
favor growing out of the Manchurian
complications. The change is consid-
cred significant of modification of the
Russian military policy in the far east
and along the Russian frontier in Eu-
rope, being contemporaneous with re-
duction Of the military department at
Kieff, commanding the Austrian from
tier.
It was announced from St. Petersburg
Monday night that it was rumored in
high military circles there that Gen.
Kuropatkin would be appointed gov
ernor OF the Caucasus, and that he was
to be replaced as war minister by Gen.

company, charging them with partici-
patton In the postal frauds, was upheld

Judge Thomas in the United States dis
trict court in Brooklyn. briggs was
charged with receiving money while q
congressman for furthering the inter-
ests OF the Automatic Cashier company,
and Miller was accused of paying money
to corrupt a congressman. Demurrer
was interposed In behalf OF Mr. briggs
on the ground that the facts set forth in
the indictment were insufficient to con-
stitute crime, that the case as alleged
was barred by the statute of limitations,
and that the sections under which the in
dictment was found were unconstitu-
tiOnal. Judge Thomas holds that the al
legged crime was committed while
briggs was a congressman, and that so
far as the statute of limitations was
concerned, the alleged payments were
all made within three years before the
indictment was found.
