MODERN NEW YORK.
Gold Works Wonders in Many Places
In Gotham.

A man with an enterprise of only mod
est proportions, say, involving the ex-
penditure of 100000. excites very little
attention in New York these days. A
week ago a distinguished Catholic clergy
man came from Toronto with plan to
erect a Cathedral that would excel st.
Sophia in magnifcence and overtop the
tall dome of St Peters, The aura of this
splendid dream made New Workers blink
a little, but they took this project as a
matter of course
Now once more is the newest and big
gest" thing in the world planned for New
York, says a correspondent of the Pitts
burg Dispatch. This time 1t is hotel.
1t is to occupy the historic site once &C.
cupied by the old Brunswick which, by
the way was In its time the biggest and
grandest and finest and everything that
had ever happened.
Rubbing his eyes and trying for a mo-
ment to catch up with the swift march
of events, the average New York man
discovers that the New York he knew
yesterday is a dead and buried city, as
obsolete as Hercuaneum. If he on Tues
day turned in the doorway which on Mon
day had opened to him its hospitablo
arms, he stumbles on the ruins of de-
molition preparatory to a new monster of
enterprise. Retreating, he falls into a
SuDtefrdnedn inferno OF pipes, wires and
debris, out of which he Is very likely
blown sky high into the rafters of anoth-
er new skyscraper of whose very exist
ence he has never heard.
From this eminence he looks down upon
a city wrapped In devastating cloud of
soft coal smoke and gasps, rs this New
York; 1t is not-at least IL is not the
New York of New Workers.. Where only
the day before yesterday stood an ancient
city, the metropolis of complacency,
pleasing and pleased with itself. is now
sprawling an endless. lnchoate mass. At
every corner something Is being torn
down to make room for something else,
which is to be the biggest thing on earth.
Half dozen hotels are under way In
Manhattan and dozen or more theaters,
every one of which is to make a new
record for size and splendor. What is
the end to be? Already the Waldorf-As-
toria is a mere roadhouse. the Metropoli-
tan opera house roost for owls. Del
monicos and Sherry's are coffee stands.
All belong to the dingy past of day be-
fore yesterday, and New York lives in
the atmosphere of day after tomorrow.

spectfully urged on the attention OF con-
gress:
l. The establishment of gold standard
in the Islands and of banking corpora
lions empowered to issue circulating bank
notes under proper safeguards.
g. The reduction of at least 70 per cent
of the Dingley rate of duty upon goods
imported into the United States from the
Philippines.
z. An amendment of the Philippine act
50 that lands may be sold or to be held
by individuals or corporations from the
public domain shall be increased to 2b,oO0
acres, or In the alternative so that the
government shall be given the power to
lease for sixty years upon competitive
bidding tracts from the public land, ag-
gregating in any individual or corporation
not more than 10000. II says this legisa-
ton Is necessary to the development OF
the islands, and as the government owns
Co. 900 900 out of 70,000,O0O acres in the
archipelago, there is no danger of concen-
tration of ownership in individuals or cor
poratons.
4. That the Philippines act may be
amended by repeating the Limitation
which forbid an individual or corpora
ton from holding an interest In more
than one mining claim.
5. That all bonds issued by the in
sular government under the authority of
the Philippine act shall be free from
state, county and municipal taxation in
the United States.
G. That an amendment be made to the
Chinese exclusion act giving power to
the government by law to admit a fixed
and limited number of Cinnamon into the
Philippine islands who are certified to be
skilled laborers, on the bond of the en-
ployer that for every Chinese skilled la
borer employed he will employ a Filipino
apprentice. and that he Will return the
Chinese skilled laborer thus introduced
within five years after his admission to
the country. and that he shall pay a
head tax of not exceeding $50 for each
Chinaman so admitted to the insular gov
eminent to meet the expenses OF the en-
forcement of these restrictions. The COM
mission thinks unlimited admission of
Chinese would be unwise.

LIMANToUR is ELIGIBLE.
Was Born and Reared in the City Of
Mexicc-French Origin.

Mexico City, January 4.zEl Diaro (of-
ficiaD which is the mouthpiece of the
federal government publishes a long ar
ticle completely disproving the allegations
made by a newspaper hostile to Finance
Minister Limantour, which sought to
create the impression that he was born
outside of Mexico, and therefore was
not eligible to become the president of
the republic Minister Limantour was
born In this city. the 26th of December,
1854, and is therefore As years of age.
His parents were French, but residents
here, and he, therefore, stands exactly
on the same footing as various presi-
dents of the republic, one or more.
whose parents were of foreign birth. The
article demolshes the story that Minister
Limantour is not eligible to the presi-
dency. There Is also the fact to be
borne in mind that had he been eligible
to the chief magstracy, he could not con-
additionally have been minister of fin
ance, and all his official acts would have
been void and null.

was the Carlyle of poetry. and he could
only hope that two-thirds of what he
wrote might be forgotten. Carlyle tried
to debase English as mucn as he could
possibly do; yet his lives of Schiller and
Sterling were written IN as pure and
beautiful English as could be found But
Frederick the Great was a calamity TO
English literature. In the same way Rob-
ert Browning wrote those delightful
pieces Christmas Eve" Easter" and
Men and Women" but now he ever
persuaded himself to write THE Red
Cotton Nightcap Country was mystery.
His poetry would be enjoyed for genera
lions to come-but in volumes of ex-
tracts. not by those who attempted to
read the volume of his works.
