NEW ANACOSTIA BRIDGE.
Remodeled Structure May Be Built
Without a Draw.

Work on the reconstruction of the Ana
costa Bridge across the Eastern branch
will be commenced within a short time,
and If the proposition meets with the APP
prevail of the government officials the
bridge will be reconstructed without a
draw" Information to this effect Is con-
tanned in a report submitted to the Com
missioners today by Captain Jay ]. Nor
row, assistant to the Engineer Commits
siOner.
Captain Morrow calls the attention of the
Commissioners to the fact that the amount
available this year for the reconstruction
of the bridge Is 100000. and that the total
cost of the structure shall not exceed $780,
600. In accordance with Captain Nor
to the Secretary of War asking If the lat
ter official will approve of the following
described bridge:
"A structure consisting Of several steel
arches of equal span (between 100 and 300
feet long) approximately on the site Of
the present bridge.
TT is proposed to carry the floor of the
bridge at about twenty-eight feet above
low-tide level, which would permit OF the
arches being sprung from the piers at
about ten feet above low tide. and would
allow of from twenty-one to twenty-three
or twenty-four feet clearance at the crown.
1t Is estimated. that clearance OF twenty
feet will permit the passage OF all local
craft with some such adaptation as
hinged stack in the case of the largest
tugs); and 1t is believed that the small
amount and character of the traffic, looking
well into the future, would indicate that
this clearance is sufficient, and that the
type without draw span Is most to be de-
sired"
The Commissioners also ask the Secre-
tary Of War If he will approve plans drawn
for the bridge giving a maximum clearance
of twenty-one feet above low water, and
minimum spans of 100 feet 1t is pointed
out that the great advantage of such
structure lies in the fact that it will elm
mate the unwieldy and unsghtly draw,
which often acts as hindrance to traffic.

CANADIAN INDUCEMENTS.
Dominion Methods May Be Called to
Attention of British Government

1t is probable that the attention of the
British government will be directed to a
movement conducted officially by the Cana
dian government to induce emigration from
the United States to the Northwest terri
tory There can be no objection to such eff
forts on the part Of private emigration
agencies, but when. as In this case, the gov
eminent itself seeks to attract citizens Of
other countries. the matter is one which
calls for official remonstrance. AS an
nounced in The Star some time ago, the do
minion department of the interior, through
of its assistant secretaries, has been
sending broadcast throughout the north
western state circular letters, principally
addressed to clergymen. professional men
and persons of influence, describing in glow
ing terms the splendid resources of the
Canadian northwest, and inviting immi
grants by the offer of 100 acres of land for
each. free schools and sound laws. Espe-
cially Is attention invited to the excellent
church facilities.

or an arrest being made In the case The
police have photographs of the room and
contents which may be used in the event

ALLOTMENT MADE.
Per Diem Employees Of District to Re-
ceive Proportion of Leave.

Ce1Ve proportion of Leave.
Messrs. VIM. F. Meyers and c. T. Shoe
maker, who compose the committee on
proportionment of the 800 DAYS leave of
absence among the per diem employees Of
tho District government, today submitted
their report relative to the number Of days
allotted this year to each employe on the
eligible list.
According to the report 147 employees are
to be granted leaves of absence this year
as opposed to 1877 last year, The greatest
number of days allotted to any one en-
pioye this year Is seven, while last year the
maximum number of DAYS allotted to any
one man was nine The cause Of this de-
crease IN maximum numoer: of days Is due
to the increase in the number of employees
entried TO share in the total of 1900 days
granted several years ago by Congress.
Inc report shows that 118 per diem en-
ployeS will each receive seven days leave
of absence this summer twelve men will
be allowed three days each andt nineteen
men will be permitted to cease from their
aanors ana stu draw pay for one day each.
l ne method or apportionment Is dts follows:
Seven days to every per diem employee who
mas served one year more prior to July
l. 1904 In the District service; three days
10 those VINO nave served more than six
months. put less than one year, prior TO
July 1. 1904. and one day to those who have
served less than Six MONTHS Ht -
The number of days allotted to the per
diem employees is annually decreasing in
proportion as the list of eligibles increases.
Among the employees at the District build
Ing there is considerable facetious specula-
ton as to just when the leave will run out
entirely under the proportionment system.
Some OF the employees compare the question
to the old problem in numbers: How long
VIII 1t take frog to jump off log If he
Jumps half way off at each iump?"
1t has been suggested that Capt. Morrow
whose successful competition with rapid
calculating machine some time ago brought
him considerable reputation as mathema-
lem and submit the answer to those in
terested.

Criticism of a Governor.

VIII any governor Of Florida ever
be subjected TO the kind of criticism
that is now being Ieveled at Mime
sota's chief executive?
This is the way the ST. Paul Globe
shoots its satire at its governor:
''POor old Van SAINT. Despite the
fact that he has been a nuisance and,
as far as his official position goes, a
curse to the state, despite the awful
humiliation to Minnesota of having
such an object in the governors chair
there is a movement Of pity for him
"a he shows his fuddled face, bewild-
cred with the wiles Of his tormentOrs
and unable TO distinguish jest from
earnest. There are a lot of bad boys
among these republicans; but they
ought to remember that:it is a poor
dog indeed for which you can find no
better use than to tie2a tin can to his
tail and send him off amid the mex
tinguishable laughter of the hard
hearted crowd"
