NOTIFICATION TO ARCHITECTS.
Private Work Must Not interiors
With Their Government Duties.

Mr.. il. A. Taylor acting secretary Of the
treasury today signed circular letter that
Is to 20 to eighty-fve superintendent Of
construction Of puoIlc buildings throughout
the country This circular will fatty pro-
hibit these superintehdents, who are archi-
tects. from maintaining offices for private
work IN the architect line, and at the same
time Will make inquiry as to how much out
side work Is Being done. Each superintend-
emit is expected to make q complete reply
A treasury off1cial acquainted with the
case said today that 1t was recently learned
that the superintendent of construction OF
the Baltimore public building had opened
private Office and was soliciting outside
work, even going so far. 1t Is stated. as to
SEND Gut cards and advertising matter. 1t
has been known for years that architects
employed under the treasury have done
considerable outside work. but nothing was
done 10 interfere with this until now.
The prohibition of outside work. when
done IN private Offices will not apply to
men engaged in the Washington office OF
the supervising architect Of the treasury.
1t Is stated today. Several OF these men
have been doing considerable outside work,
but they are known and If 1t is thought at
any tiMe that they are exceeding the
bounds they will be personally notified and
directed to cease
1t Is declared on the most competent au-
thortty that the Treasury Department has

employees after they leave that building I'M
less the employees do so much outside work
as to practically unfit them for days
work for the government. There are
thought to be few cases of this kind. Near
~ all the architects and draughtsmen en-
ployed N the Office of the supervising archi-
tect at times do some private work, and
there is 10 objection to this SO long as it
does nos appear to be excessive and to in
terfere with mans government work.
Consideration Of the order has been pend
ing several days, and there have been so
many rumorS as to cause much agitation
among employees of the office in Washing
ton. AS it is now definitely known that the
order affects only thosa who are maintain
ing private offices and advertising for work.
and those who are doing so much work as
to prevent their government service from
being satisfactory, the employees are not any
longer worried, fnasmuch as few of them
will be touched. Some of them at first re-
sented the whole thing as an attempt to pry
into their private affairs and they were pre-
pairing to make a fight

Nine thousand copies Of the Jefferson
Bible will soon have been printed by the
government printing Office and will be dis
tributed according to the provisions of the

This Bible is formed Of clippings made
by Thomas Jefferson, and has been the
subject of frequent controversy among the
clergy and laity Of the country because OF
the fact that Jefferson, in making his COL
lection of clippings for the revised edition
of the Gospels, eliminted all miracles and
in other ways wrought at variance with the
accepted traditions of the clergy OF all

CHEAP STEAMSHIP RATES.

now bringing immigrants to this country

Of it. Undesirable aliens have been focking
here on the ships offering these low rates

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE czAR
Michael Davitt Makes Interesting In
curry Among Russian Masses.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 13.-Michael
Davitt, who is now in st. Petersburg In
vestigating the labor and industrial con-
diuons of Russia. in an interview today
with the correspondent Of the Associated
Press said:
Aside from the immediate object of my
visit 1 have been greatly interested IN the
attitude of the masses in Russia toward the
war. Their attitude is of greater import
in view Of the stories published abroad to
the effect that the war is unpopular and
that the country is on the verge OF rev.
olution owing to public discomfort.
Il have visited every working quarter OF
st. Petersburg. the extensive Selosmolen-
skoe region. the Narvaskaia district. and
such places as the Potiloff company's 10
connective and steel works employing 1000
men. 1 interviewed the workers outside
of the factories. in the churches, parks and
places of public entertainment, but failed
to find anything except quiet confidence
that Russia is bound to win in the end.
Government Frank.
1.-The government is decidedly frank in
its dissemination of news. Official bulle-
tins are posted everywhere and they are
read attentively by small groups. FIRE.
quently soldiers and sailors are among
them. The news is discussed among the by
ISLANDERS. but always quietly. There is no
trace OF excitement
In fact. the war seems to arouse less
public interest than the news received dur
ing the South African war. One reason
may be the distance Of the actual fighting
from European Russia. Certainly the war
is not affecting the general current of life.
Business everywhere Is progressing as
usual and the people are following their
ordinary routine.
Full Faith in Russia.
1.-The only sentiment is full faith that
Russia ultimately will win. The stories
published abroad that 600 persons were ex-
sentences have been imposed at Moscow
and that sanguinary conflicts have occurred
at Odessa are all. so far as my inquiries
show, pure inventions deliberately set
afoat for the purpose of injuring the Rus
sian loan abroad.
Dowie Quits England Disguised.
LONDON, June 13.-Disgusted with the
inhospitable reception he met with in Lon

termined to leave England. and started this

with his wife and son.

expresses great satisfaction at the sanitary
conditions here and the absence of con-

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS.
Gathering for the Fray Tomorrow
Nesting Of Committee.

Meeting OF Committee.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 13.-The ques-
t,on of whether or not the Illinois delega-
ton to the democratic national convention
will be instructed by the Illinois STATE
democratic convention tomorrow for
William Randolph Hearst depends largely
on the outcome of three-cornered fac
tional fight for the control of the party or
ganization.
The angles to the struggle are made up
of the adherents OF John p. Hopkins, which
means the existing party machine, the ioi-
lowers Of Mayor Harrison and those who
favor William r. Hearst for President OF
the United States. Mr.. Hearst has no In
terest in the fight beyond securing an In
structed delegation. but his chief lieu
tenants are men who were ousted from the
control of the party machine two years
ago. -
They are making a strong battle for
Hearst, but they are striving at the same
time to regain their lost power. The Har-
rfson men are for an Endorsement Of Con-
gresham Williams for President, and that
marks them as against the Hearst faction.
They are personally opposed to Hopkins
and his control Of the state committee, and
against Hearst In that direction.
The Hopkins followers are against Harri-
son for the same reason that he opposes
them.
the state committee meets. Its members
claim the right to select temporary chair
man. and Frank ]. Quinn of Peoria is the
man talked OF at present.
The Hearst faction claims the right OF
the convention to name the chairman and
desires Congressman Rained for the place.
Harrison may combine with Hearst
against Hopkins for the control of the or
ganization of the convention, and If this
be done under able leadership 1t may win.
The struggle for party control has become
so keen that the nomination Of state Off
GERS has become a secondary matter, and
nobody al present is paying much attention
to the seekers for office.
The convention will be called to order at
noon tomorrow.
Quinn for Temporary Chairman.
1t has been definitely decided by the Hop
kins people, who control the state commit
tee, to make Frank ]. Quinn of Peoria tenn
porary chairman of the convention tomor-
row. The state committee declares that 1t
has the right Under the party constitution
to control the temporary organization. The
Hearst people take the stand that the COM
mfttee has only the right to recommend q
chairman to the convention, and that he
shall be accepted or rejected on a roll call
Inc committee. however, has decided to put
Mr. quinn into the chair.
