next congress. but the vacancy at the
head of the judiciary committee caused
by the death of Senator Hoar will be
filled by the designation of Senator Or
vile II. Platt, of Connecticut. Mr..
Platt has for many years been the rank
ing member next to the chairman on
this committee, and his preeminent
qualifications for the chairmanship is
recognized by everyone. He is one Of
the solid. conservative and able states
men whose record is absolutely clear and
of the highest grade. He is not Que Of

Mr.. Platt is known internationally as
the author of the PLAT amendment
which has been incorporated in the or
ganic law of the republic of Cuba and
which virtually gives the United States
a protectorate over the island. 1t per-
mits the United States to prevent Cuba
from swamping herself in debt, and pre-
vents her forming an alliance with any

senator has been chairman of the com
mittee on Cuban relations. but as most
of the important legislation concerning
the relations between this country and
Cuba has been accomplished, the posi-
ton of chairman of the committee on
the judiciary will be more commensurate
with his ability and experience.

a prima donna, who sings at the Metro

BIG FLOATING FAIR.
WESTERN TOWN is GOING AFTER
THE ORIENTAL TRADE.
Seattle, Wash, Proposes to Show the
Asiatics What We Have to Sell

Seattle. Wash-This place comes to
the front with a twentieth century
development of the exposition idea
bearing on the oriental trade that
everyone has heard SO much about in
the last few years. Instead of waiting
for people to come 10 a fair the Sea-
tie people. or, rather the Northwestern
Commercial company of Seattle, pro-
poses 10 send the fair t. the people
exclusively TO people who have money

have been started out this month, in
stalled ON the steamship Victoria, but
the o-Japanese war upset the
scheme and the sailing date of the
floating fair as been postponed to
November 15 1905.
The idea is to offer American com
mercial houses an opportunity to send
representatives to establish permanent
agencies and also to make immediate
sales to the countries bordering on the
Pacific ocean, which contain the larger
portion of the worlds population, and
which are in direct water communica-
ton with the United States. The
floating industrial exhibition will visit
the cities of Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki

Parker, Judge Van Wyck and Judge

Parker resigned to accept the demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency
and run against Mr.. Roosevelt. Judge
Herrick resigned to become candidate
for governor of New York against the
republican candidate, Lieut. Gov. Hig-

Mr. Roosevelt will have further op-
portunity probably of placing men on

members Of the district court up to the

THE COMMITTEE
ON PLAYGROUND
MAKES ITS FINAL REPORT TO
THE EXECUTIVE BOARD
OF THE COM.
IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE
Site Chosen-Needs of Grounds Its
Uses and Benefts-A Good
Thing For Children.

The following is the report of the
committee on play grounds made to
the executive board Of the Civic In
provement League May 10, 1904.
Mr.. President: Your committee on
playground submits the following re-
port:
After some inspection of available
space for public Fairgrounds your
committee decided that the best site
lay between twenty second and TWEEN
ty third streets, half square south
of Main. AS indicated in a previous
report the committee desired to have
any playground that might be secur-
ed, controlled by public school Off
cials. AT the invitation of the COM
mittee the school board visited the
proposed grounds, decided they were
well adapted to the purpose in view,
and purchased them.
1t might be thought that the work
of this committee was then complet-
ed but there remains the work of
! planning for the use of these grounds.
The committee has been asked to help
in this.
To obtain the benefit that should
come from a public play ground it
should, of course, be open during the
vacation months. There must be
some provisions made for the differ
ent games that are to be played for
competent supervision of the grounds
when in use, and for regulations as
to securing the use Of them. These
are the subjects that are next to en-
gage the committed attention.
| Hoping to benefit by the experience
of others who have worked in this
same line the committee has haC
some correspondence with authorities
in cities where such work has beer
done. Thinking it might be Of inter
est to know Of some attempts IL

tee includes in this report quotation
