Some campaion Expenses.

For printing and stationery alone it
is calculated that each of the national
campaign committees Will spend half a
million dollars. Of the scores of mil
lions of documents sent ont, a great
many are franiled. but to distribute
the residue requires huge outlay
for postage. Extremely expensive also
is made by each party early in Sep
TENDER, and again about a fortnight
before election day, says Harper'S
Weekly. OF course, no such canvass
is needed in any of the former slave
States. except Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia, and, possibly Ken
lucky 1t would be equally superfiuous
in Pennsylvania or Vermont No other
item of expenditure is comparable with
the sum paid for campaign speeches.
II is expected that, when the cam
paign is fully under way, no fewer
than 5000 political orators viii be
placed upon the stump by each of the
national committees. AS at least five
times as many "spelIbinders" will be
by the State committees,
the aggregate number of cxhorters
will not fall much short of 10000.
Some of the speakers receive $3.50 q
week, together with their expenses,
while others will accept no money for
their services, but allow their actual
disbursements TO be made good

JAPANESE
DEFINE OBJECT
OF THE WAR.
Marshal Yamasata Instruets Marshal
oyama as to Treatment of
Foreign Officers.

TOXIC. Sept. 20.-Owing to the fric-
ton between the military authorities
and field attaches and correspondents.
Field Marshal Yamagata, chief of the
general staff, to-day telegraphed to
Field Marshal Oyama, commander-in-
chief of the Japanese forces in the
field as follows:
The imperial declaration of war as
proclaimed to the people is univer-
sally recognized as being based on the
broad principles of justice. 1t makes
no distinction of race. religion or ma
tional manners or customs. The sole
object of the war is to insure the
safety of this empire, guarantee the
peace of the Orient, spread the bless
ings of civilization and promote the
general interests of all.nations. 1t is.
therefore, hoped that these principles
will also find expression in the treat
ment of foreign officers and CORE
spondents attached TO our armies, and
that, SO long as the rule of military
secrecy is not infringed. a frank and
candid consideration be extended TO
them. so that the spirit of sincerity
which anmates this empire be fully
demonstrated to the whole world

a Racket on the Hin.

Monday morning about 1880 O'Clock
". S. Sample, the Humane officer, was
suddenly brought to his feet from
sound sleep, by q phone message from
member of the society. All atten-
ton, he was informed of racket pre-
cipitated on the hill above the First
ward by means of a drunken husband,
aud as result of which the wife had
fed from home, leaving a T-nlonths-
old babe uucared for and needing his
official attention. He did not consider
the case as one within his jurisdiction,
and so deferred until morning Upon
calling he found that q racket had in
deed occurred, but that the Wife had
returned 70 her maternal duties, and
therefore returned without taking any
action. 1t is the order of the Society
rot to interfere with family relations,
disorganized, except for the
protection Of children maltreated or
for, and not to take pos
session of them even then without the
consent; or at the request of one or,
both parents IN this case the racket

"THE IROQUOIS'
MURMURED THE AUDIENCE AS
CURTAIN CAUGHT AT FIRST
PERFORMANCE.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Sept. 20.-The first
curtain to be dropped in the Hyde &
Behman Music Hall, the renovated
Iroquois Theatre, caught on the seen
cry last night. 1t was only scenic
curtain. but it hung suspended in the
same place that the fatal asbestos cur
tain of the Iroquois caught, and the
audience murmured The Iroquois!
That nlurmuI' brought confusion to
an already embarras sed chorus, which
danced off the stage. The curtain was
raised. two men Went out TO steady II
and it dropped in place. but the effect
was felt for an hour. Under otherwise
suspicious circumstances the new the
atre was opened. The seating capacity
of 1927 was taxed and many We're

ANOTHER NNouNcEMENT
Concerning Judge Parker and His
Speeches.

ESOPUS. Sept. 2O.-Judsc Parker
has made no changes in his personal
plans concerning participation in the
campaign. 1t is announced that he has
not arranged to spend any definite
number of days each week in New
York, as has been reported. but that
the Judge will go to New York only
when it will be more convenient to
meet his political managers there than
it would be for them to come to Rose
mount. No time. however, has been
set for such trips. The announcement
was also made that the judge will not
go on a speechmalling tour, but that
he viii make all his speeches from

Utilizing the Spec.

It must be borne in mind III criti-
cisinS this design that the effort was
TO utilize all of the available and eS-
trenely valuable rental space on this
irregular lot without emphasizing or
eXacSerating these Irregularities, and
to avoid the disastrous effects which
have been produced on similar lots
upon which high buildings have been
constructed in the past. The object is
TO so handle the building as TO repre-
sent a great circular tower. symmetri-
cal as viewed from every point, rein
forced by strong buttresses, which
carried up the vertical line! reinforc-
ing. but not taking away from. its Cir
cular form.
The large clock tower which it is
proposed to extend from the corner of
Eighth avenue and Fifty-eighth street
up through it's entire height occupies
the remaining irregular portion of the
lot not occupied by the great circular
building.
This at first blush might appear
freaEish and impracticable, but il is
the exact and honest expression of
the shape of the lot, as seen by refer
ring to the plan. 1t is handled boldly
as an accident. and On account of its
great size-forty feet squares avail
able on every floor throughout its
height for renting purposes. and
crowns the whole design with an enor-
nous four-faced clock, which should
be seen from the Bronx. Staten Island, |
New Jersey and Jamaica.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 2O.-The Ameri-
can has received from Messrs. j.
Stewart Barney and Henry Otis Chap
man architects, of New York city.
photographs and description OF the
proposed unique forty-fve story build
ing designed for the New York Ameri-
can and Journal, at the request OF MT.
William r. Hearst, the publisher. The
proposed structure, if built, Will be sit
uated on Broadway, Fifty-eighth street,
the Circle and Eighth avenue, and will
be a wonder of modern building de-
signing and construction
Forty-fve stories tall and 555 feet
high-the height of the Washington
Monument in Washington = this
unique building is to be erected
around a great wrought iron column
twelve feet in diameter, from which
the supports of the rest of the build
ing VIII radiate.
An Engineering Feat.
According to the statement of the
architects the problem presents great
difficulties. and can only be understood
by referring to the plan in connection
with the four photographs shown IN
the accompanying picture. These diff
culties were as follows:
The great height of the building
viz. $50 feet; the small base from
which it was to rise. and. above ali,
the great irregularity in the shape of
the lot.
The first consideration was, there
fore. to so design the whole as to rem
der it practicable to build and stable
when completed. The building, as has
been stated, is to lie erected around
great wrought iron column twelve feet
in diameter. the interior of which is to
be used as shaft for large express
elevator running to the top of the
building, and from tho outside OF
which radiate the great wind bra ces
which extend to and tie in all OF the
corners OF the building. Around this
core and reinforcing it is a double
staircase similar II cC--Strizction to
the celebrated double staircase in the
Chateau Chambord. The scheme con
forty-Gve stories ii is neces-
sary 70 maize ample provision for ele-
vators, staircase. !sc!ler tiues, etc, and
obtain as much available rental space |
on each floor as possible.
