FINAL HEARING.
Railroad Commissioners Heard Parties in Supe.
 rior Court Room.

The final hearing before the board of railroad commissioners on the proposed railroad Improvements was held to- day in the superior court room; unless something unforeseen turns up which will demand another session.
 The parties heard to-day were Charles Lang, Daniel Cronin and John T. Casey. All these claim their prop erty, which is situated on and about the vicinity of Simons street and Wash ington avenue, will be grievously af- fected by the prospected Improvements, Casey's especially. He has been made an offer by the company for his prop erty and his presence at the hearing to- day, represented by Attorney Kennedy, showed hoIw it has been received. lie claims that by closing Simons street his property will be cut off and his business seriously effected thereby.
 Attorney Kennedy asked if there had been any evidence showing that it was necessary to close up SmOns street, and Attorney SpOck, counsel for the railroad company, said that on four different occasions the required evi- dence was given. Attorney Kennedy held that the only person who testified. to that effect was MT 1ngersOl, chief engineer for the railroad and that was not sufficient. It required the evidence of tax payers and property owncrs to show that public necessity demanded the street be closed. Casey thereupoI repeated what he has already stated and the hearing was closed. It now rests with the commissioners to say whether or not the projected improve ments are a public necessity and that the land effected by them shall be coll demned. If they decide in the affirm ative and that they will do so is taken for granted. the matter goes to the su- perior court which appoints commls- sion to appraise all land the value ot which is disputed by the railroad con- pany.

ANXIETY NOW EXPRESSED
 FOR GENERAL LINEVITCH.
Both Armies Racing Northward Within Twenty Miles of Each Other Should the Japanese Prove More Speedy Linevitch May Meet the Fate Intended for kuropatkin- Russian Army Said to be Divided.

St Petersburg, March 20, 20 p. m. Anxiety regarding the fate of Gen. eral Linevitch's forces continues, the main danger to them being the Japan ese columns which are hurrying northward along the great trade route twenty miles west of and parallel with the line of retreat. The heads of these columns were officially re- ported to be passing Fakoman, thirty miles northwest of Tie pass, on Fri day. Their appearance doubtless has, tened the Russian retirement which may now have become literally q race northward, as once the Russians are headed it would be easy for the Jap anese by short cut to throw them selves across the line of retreat. Af- ter leaving Kaiyuan General Line witch is believed to have divided his army. the main portion clinging to the railroad and the other falling back along the Mandarin road which runs to Kirin, it being impossible to leave the latter open to the Japanese lest they then be able to creep up on the left flank. At the same time it is re- cogniZed that separation of forces is always attended with the danger of giving the enemy an opportunity to concentrate and fight the army in detail. Some military men here be- lieve that Linevitch will try to hold the line from Kirin to Changoun. 12O miles north of Tie pass. The First corps, composed of steady troops from St Petersburg and formerly commanded by General Moyendorff. Is covering the retreat which the war office declares is proceeding in an or derly fashion.
 Complete details of the losses at the battle of Mukden are not yet available at the war office, but the reports thus far received indicate that 12O,0OO men were killed, wound cd or made prisoners. and that about eighty field guns were captured. AL most every siege gun, it is affirmed, was removed.

US Founder an Englishman-Con- gress Hesitated to Accept the Gift Of Inestimable Value to
 World of Science.

Recently in the Smithsonian Institu- tion at Washington was performed the ceremony of sealing the tomb of the founder of the institution, the English man James Smithson.
 This institution, which has such a high place in the scientific world, which our nation points to with greatest pride, was given us by foreigner, James Smithson, son of the duke of Northum- berland. Smithson was himself scien- tist of note; early in life showed interest in this field of human effort, and all his life was "an associate of the leading men of science, and devoted himself to re- search" Though belonging to the great house of Northumberland and, through his mother, a Percy, related to kings, yet It is thought he was in full sympathy with our republican form of government; perhaps because of the greater needs of new land for such gift as he had in his minds eye, he gave to America the great legacy.
 In these words was the gift bestowed: q bequeath the whole of my property to the United States of America to found at Washington an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men,"
 And how did the United States accept the rich offering? Itis almost incredible to believe that her attitude for some time was not only ungrateful' but also ungracious. There was much hesita- tion about stopping to take a foreigners gift, there was great opposition in con- gress to its acceptance. Statesmen de- ceared it beneath the dignity of the Unit ed States to receive presents. said the donor was in this manner striving after immortality for his name. But the proud citizens were finally prevailed up- on to look at the matter in the light of Its value to the country, the name of John Quincy Adams prominent among those enthusiastically laboring to bring about this attitude.
 At last public opinion granted we might accept, and a representative was sent over to England to obtain the money. He entered suit in the courts of chancery; received the money and

Malpedo ran into q saloon. snatched q club from behind the bar. and knocked the officer down. Decker regained his feet and used his baton on MaIpedo. The latter rushed upon him again from behind and dealt him a terrific blow that sent the police man to his knees.
 Two men seized the officers club and prevented him from using it. Fearing for his life. Decker drew his revoIver as Malpedo came toward him again with the club uplifted. Malpetio fell at the first shot.
 Hundreds of dweIlers in Little Italy ran from the tenements and sev- eral women threw themselves upon MalpedO who lay wounded in the street. When patrol wagon with re- serves arrived more than 1.UU persons. men. women and children were strug- gling in the street

 At 2:3o this afternoon thirty bodies had been taken from the burn ing building. None of these had been identified. The list of injured will bo more than fifty.
 An officer of the Grover factory ex- pressed his opinion that one hundred persons would be found to have been lost
 Mayor Keith made the following statement to the Associated Press rep-i resentative: From the figures at hand there were four hundred at work in the factory when the explo- sion took place. l understand that two hundred have reported at the fire stations in person. Just how many were killed l am unable to determine until the ruins have been raked over. l would not be surprised if the num- Der reached one hundred.

 But not yet was there the right feel- ing toward the projected institution. There ensued eight long years of wrang- ling as to the best disposal of the sum. Schools of every grade, from nation al university to an agricultural school. ! normal school. and a school for the blind, were proposed. A library, bot anical garden, an observatory. chemi- cal laboratory, Q popular publishing house, a lecture lyceum. an art museum, any and all of these and many more were proposed and advocated by this volun- tary congress of many men of many minds"
 It was in 1S46 the Smithsonian Insti- tuition was formally established by act of congress. and the following year that building was begun. The ornate struc- ture which bears the name of Smithson- ian Institution stands in a conspicuous position in the Mall" which extends from the capitol to the Washington monument. Additions have been made to the original building, and visitors to the city of Washington carry away pleasant memories of the quiet group of buildings among the trees of the Mall. filled with wonders of nature and art. and tn, trophies ofscientific discovery"
 The plan of organization adopted was that proposed by Prof Joseph Henry. the man who gave to the world the electro magnetic telegraph. The chief features of Prof. Henry's plan were. to quote his own words. to assist men of science in making original researches, to publish them in . series of volumes, and to give a copy to every irst-class library on the face of the earth
 The publications of the Smithsonian Institution by now are very numerous. and are authoritative.
