WILL SKIRT THE GROUNDS.
Change in the Proposed Highway
Through Catholic University Land.

At the suggestion of the District commas
sioners. Secretary Taft has approved
change in thu proposed highway through
the grounds of the Catholic University. The
Commissioners explained that this change
is recommended under the terms of the
act of March 2. 1898. and is at the request
'of the authorities 'of the Catholic Univer-
sity. who have offered to dedicate the land
necessary to effect the change in the route.
The Commissioners say This change is
considered of benefit to the District. and IS
authorized by the act of June %, 1898, as 1t
amended the act of 1888"
The plan accompanying the Commission
ers' letter shows that it is proposed to To-
cate this highway. which is just west If the
line of the Metropolitan branch and north
of Bunker Hill road. about 100 feet to the
east of the university grounds. Under the
terms of the highway act, the change hav-
ing been approved by the Commissioners Of
the District and the Secretary of War, still
requires to become effective the approval
of the Secretary of the Interior, and the
papers have been dispatched to him for his
consideration

METHODS SEVERELY CRITICISED
Report of Inspectors on the New York
Post Office,

In the report of the inspectors who in
vestigated the conduct of the New York
post office severe criticism of the methods
of Postmaster Cornelius Van Colt was
made 1t is believed by some. and stated
by those in a position to know of the con-
tents of the report, that it recommends the
removal of Van Colt for Acknowledgement
of his charge, if not for more serious err
rors, and the President is now considering
this report with>a view to action thereon!
If it is true that the removal of Postmaster
Van Colt is recommended, it is said to fol-
low that many officials under him will also
have to go, since it is the employees working
under the postmaster who have had as
much, if not more, to do with the alleged
irregularities than the head of the office.
The methods of administration of the
office are severely criticised and reform in
many branches recommended. The report
is of great length and enters into much de-
tail, owing to which it will necessarily be
some time before a conclusion is reached
by the President.

Mr.. John H. Magruder, asking information
as to whether or not grocers have the right
to sell wood alcohol
The corporation counsel in his opinion,
states that although wood alcohol is now
recognized a poison, / agree with the
health officer in his conclusion that the
sale of wood alcohol by i grocer would not
be unlawful. unless the sale was for med
zeal use. The act of Congress approved
June 10, 1878, regulating the practice of
pharmacy, prohibits any person not a reg
istered pharmacist from retailing or dis
pensing poisons for medical use, and this
is the only provision of law applicable to
such sales
With regard to classifying wood alcohol
as an Intoxicating liquor Mr.. Duvall says
that the mere fact that wood alcohol can
be used intoxicant does not bring its
sale within the provisions of the excise law.

Giving Careful Consideration.

Most careful consideration is being given
to the application of the Commercial Gable
Company, made on behalf of Japan, to land
a cable en- the island of Guam to connect
at that point with the American cable.
Last evening the President Secretary Hay
and Secretary Taft had a conference on the
subject. AS heretofore indicated, the ques-
ton of the neutrality of this government
in the Russo-Japanese war is an important
factor in the consideration of the appi-
cation. 1t is not improbable, therefore. that
If the application should be granted some
conditions may be attached to the permits
