NEW YORK NEWS LETTER

NEW YORK, December 19.-Prepa-
ratiOns for holiday festivities are at q
standStill today and New Workers are,
with one accord, joining in the celebra-
ton of the formal opening of the new
Williamsburg bridge. Governor Odell
Mayor Lowe and many other disting-
uished men will take part in the ex-
ercises which will wind up this even
ing with great display of fireworks
The bridge is the longest in the world
and has several advantages over the
old Brooklyn bridge than which it
cost several million dollars more.
1t is twenty-five years since the
Brooklyn bridge was opened and it
was then the mechanical wonder of
the world. The newer structure is
larger, and stronger in every way and
will have a traffic capacity at least TO-
times greater than the preserto ,,-IIlo

nominee is rife in this

me hearts of the David b. Hill
. while there are others who
| ::ls that it will be impossible for
w.. Cleveland to refuse the nomination
LII the people insist on his having it de-
spite his recent announcement that
his determination not again to enter
the political field is unalterable. The
only draw back to Judge Parker is
that he is a friend of Mr.. Hill, who is
not on the best of terms with Charles
F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany
Hall; and since Tammany plays such
an important part in the democratic
| elections, OF course, that organization
must be considered. 1t is doubtful if
Tammany will support Parker unless
the demand for his nomina ton comes
| from all over the country. The organi-
| zation'S Indifference toward him can
be traced to the lack Of cordially be-
| tween Messrs. Murphy and Hill.
The executive committee of the New
| York State Association is authority
for the statement that the woman suf-
| frage movemnt is receding in this state
and that the possibility Of the fair seX's
securing the ballot grows less each
wear The committee notes that Wo-
man suffrage only exists where mer
loufnumber women. The press of New
York has always been against the
movement and the editorials published
in the daily and weekly papers have
been supplemented by letters from pri-
lvate individuals protesting agains'
woman suffrage in the state. Many
of these letters have come from Womer
as we'll as from men.

arm mart of the state are planting out
hundreds of English walnut trees. he
declares that the English walnut pro-
duction will in score of years be one
Of the chief industries of the state.
rarseeing farmers OF his section al
ready are preparing for the big de-
mand which they feel assured will be
made for the Washington product, and
are enthusiastic over the outlook
Cant. Hogan says experiments that
have come under his notice estabilSh
that the English walnut grows in any
kind of soil in eastern or western
Washington. The shot clay OF the
upIands of the west side seem to be
splendidly adapted for large crops OF
the nut. The tree has growth about
the same as that of the apple tree,
and begins bearing when five years
old. When the tree is seven or eight
years old it produces from fifty TO
one hundred pounds of nuts. These
sell at wholesale at from 10 to IL cents
a pound. A fully matured tree, &C
cording to State Horticultural A. Van
Holderbeke, who was interviewed this
afternoon relative to the matter, Will
grow from 200 to 800 pounds of nuts.
Both Capt. Hogan and Mr.. Van
Holderbeke this afternoon agreed that
the Washington variety Of nut excelled
those grown in California and other
parts of the United States. The kinds
best adapted to this state, Capt Ho-
gan says, are the Mayet and the Far
Duet both of which are French vari-
cites. Contrary to the general sup
does not originally come from England
as its name implies but that it is a
French nut.
Immune From Pests.
One splendid quality of the trees is
the fact that they appear to be prac-
tically immune from the scourge of
fungus and the attacks of insect pests.
from the rayages of which fruit trees
suffer so greatly in this state. The
trees are cultivated, Capt. Hogan says
the same as the apple tree, with the
exception that it is not trimmed. Mr..
Van H0lderbeke says in Eastern Wash
iugtOn the tree is coming into general
use as 4 windbrake FOR orchards. Here
tofore rows Of cottonwood trees have
been planted on the west side of or
chards for protection. These inpOv
erish the soil without giving any re-
turn beyond the bare protection to the
fruit trees.
Both Hogan and Mr.. Van Holder
Deke agree that the day is not distant
when English Wainuts viii form one
Of the staples of export from this
state, and they believe will Outsell the
California nuts and nuts raised in
other sections of the country. The
demand FOR the nuts has remarkably
increased in the past few years, owing
TO the very general use Of them in
fine candies, cakes and pastries. AS
the production Increases their uses will
widen. Their richness and heating
qualities have produced a great de-
mand for them in Alaska and other
cold countries. Capt. Hogan believes
that Alaska alone Will in time come
10 absorb all of the Washington pro-
duct.
The nut is at present almost I'M
known upon the sound. A few trees
are growing at Puyallup, and there are
one or TWO at SteilacOom. Quite a
few people here, however, have plant
ed out trees this fall, and others will
plant in February.

In estimating the building outlook for
next year, construction experts pre-
dict that on account of the boom just
ending and the high price of materials
building will be on conservative lines
here. 1t is believed that the bulk of
constructional activity will come from
the comparatively cheaper class of
building and that expensive hotels,
office buildings and apartment hotels
and the like will not be extensively
produced. 1t is not likely that there
will be any more thea building next
year, for the city has about enough at
present.

Influential citizens of the borough Of
the Bronx have inaugurated a move
ment to have that borough separated
from the county of New York and to
establish the district beyond the Har
lem river as county in itself
Throughout the borough it is felt that
a district which has grown in a little
more than twelve years from a few
scattered villages to nearly 10000 pop
ulatiOn is certain of continuing this
rapid growth for years to come and for
this reason should cease being a part
Of county and set upon its own re-
sponsibility.

Paris, Feb. 2O.-The Russian foreign
minister, Count Lamsdroff, has COM
municated to the French government
last of the adherences of the Euro
pean powers to the joint note to Tur-
key on the subject of reforms, thus
making the action of the powers unani-
nous. He accordingly directed M.
Zinovief, the Russian ambassador at
pany with Baron Won Calice, the Aus
trian ambassador, to the sultan and
present the joint note. 1t was at first
intended to present the Austrian note
first, but this was reconsidered in or
der to give added force to the joint
personal presentation. It was also de-
sired to secure the full adherence Of
Germany, which was somewhat condi-
tional at first. The unanimous action
finally decided upon includes Ger
many. The note, as finally framed,
strikes out all reference to Macedonia,
as it was considered that the designa-
tion of one part of the country by
name would increase the anti-foreign
agitation, which the powers are seek
ing to check.
The note is generalized so as to
cover all the localities where Chris
tians reside, the only locality specified
being three villages in Northern Tur-
key in which most of the Christians re-
side. The protection of the lives and
the complete safeguarding of the in
terests of the Christians form the chief
features of the note.
In view of the unanimity of the
powers the officials here consider that
the sultan is certain to accept the pro-
posed FefeFmsy but it is not intended
to terminate the question with the
presentation Of the note. It will be
followed speedily by further joint ac-
ton. including sending consuls Of th@
