UNION STATION PLANS.
Drawings and Slab Of White Granite on
View at the Capitol

A set of drawings giving a comprehensive
idea of the union station, including
views of the front elevation, the entrance
to the ticket lobby, etc, has been placed on
file in the rooms of the House committee
on the District of Columbia, and is attract
ing much attention from the members in
terested in District legislation. With the
plans has been submitted sample of the
white granite with which the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company proposes to erect the
magnificent new terminal building. The
block of granite has been placed upon the
big committee table and the opinion has
been freely expressed that If the general
run of the stone comes up to the standard
of the sample the effect will be all that can
be desired and will give the structure the
monumental character contemplated by the
terminal legislation. The plans and the
block of granite were submitted to the
committee by Mr.. Pierce Anderson, repre-
senting the firm of d. II. Burnham & Co.
of Chicago, the architects. The stone is
known as Bethel white granite and Is fur
nished by a Wall street firm in New York
The sample in the District committee room
is almost pure white, being flecked here
and there with crystals that have the ap-
pearance and something of the glitter Of
silver.
A big panoramic drawing of the union
station and the plaza and approaches has
been hung in one of the windows in the
committee room. 1t is on transparent pa
per and the effect is decidedly interesting.

THE ALBANY GOES TO CoREA.
Negotiations for Opening the Port of
Wiiu.

A cablegram received at the Navy De-
partment today from Rear Admiral Evans,
commanding the Asiatic station announced
the sailing today of the protected cruiser
Albany from Yokohama Japan, for Che
mulpo, the port of Seoul the Corean capita, ,
where United States Minister Allen Is pro-
ceeding to further the request of the United
States for the opening to the worlds COM
merce of the Corean port of Wiju, on the
Yalu river.
1t appears from the records of the Navy
Department that Wiju was selected by the
United States as a prospective port instead
of Yongampho because, lying forty miles
above the latter port, which is at the mouth
of the Yalu river, the country within that
limit will be likewise opened to traffic and
neutralized, substantial gain in the extent
of the market afforded.
The United States naval officers at first
fixed upon Tatungko as the second Man
churian port after Moukden to be opened In
stead of Antung, but it appears that Japan
had previously made the same demand and
had secured its allowance in it's treaty with
China, so that a request from the United
States was unnecessary and Antung was
amined the reach of Yalu river in which
it's position strategically and from trade
point of view would be vastly improved
were the port Of Wiju, on the opposite side
Of the river, neutraliZed by being made a
free port, and that is the object of
Minister Aliens visit.

LORD KITCHENER INJURED.
Met With Serious Accident While Rid
inp in India

SIMLA. India, November 16-Lord kltch-
ener commander-in-chief of the British
forces in India has met with a serious ac-
cident while riding home alone from
country house near hear.
AS he was passing through tunnel his
horse became frightened and collided with
the walled side. One of Lord kitchener's
legs was broken in two places. Some time
afterward coolies passing through the tun-
mel found the commanderin in-chief lying
there helpless and brought him to Simla.
He Is now reported to be doing well.
Although accustomed to the tunnel, Lord
Kitcheners horse was frightened by sud
denly coming upon native. The animal
swerved and jammed its rider against a
beam in the side wall. His leg was twisted
and both bones snapped above the ankle.
Upon discovering the identity of the in
1ured man the coolies bolted and left him
lying on the ground, where he suffered
greatly for half an hour. The broken bones
have been set. and, after having passed a
good night, the general is in a cheerful
mood.
1t appears that Lord Kitchener had in
formed the members of his staff that he
was not going out for a ride, but later
changed his plans. Hence he was alone
when the accident occurred.
