THE HARRISON MONUMENT.
Trouble in It's Approval and Location
in Indianapolis.

James Knox Taylor, supervising architect
Of the treasury, has been directed to go 10
indianapolis, Ind, September 5 to meet
Rankin & Kellogg OF Philadelphia, archi-
tects of the federal building in that city for
the purpose of trying to arrange an agree
ment with the Benjamin Harrison monu-
ment commission as to the location of n
statue to Gen. Harrison in front of The
new public building at India napolis.
There is all kinds of trouble about the To-
cation of the monument, which is being
erected by the Harrison Monument Asso-
citation, of which Vice President Farba nks
is chairman. Permission was granted the
commission to erect the monument in front
of the federal building if there was no OBJ
lection on the part of Rankin & Kellogg
Secretary Shaw agreed to approve any de-
sign for the monument that was approved
by Vice President Fairbanks, Senator Bev-
eridge and Representative Overstreet
Charles H. Niehaus submitted a design
which was selected by Mr.. Fairbanks. 1t
has not had the approval of Senator Bev-
eridge and Representa- tive OVerstreet. Con-
Sequcnuy Secretary Shaw withholds. his
approval. and will do so until Beveridge
and Overstreet agree. On top of this is
the fac. that Rankin & Kellogg assert that
the base of the Niehaus design is so large
that it will mar the architectural beauty
OF the new federal building. Another COM
plication is that GermanAmerican of In
dianapolis have protested because the COM
mission did not give consideration to a de-
sign submitted by Rudolph Schwartz a To-
cal artist of some renoWn who has done
creditable work

Mr.. Wallace will never say that the prob

Gen. Hatnes called attention to the fact
that the old commission in its report stated
that it would require two years in orier
to put the isthmus and the work on the
canal in shape 10 begin actively the work
of excavation.
But year and quarter of that time

satisfied that when the two years are up
we will begin the work Of excavation in
an effective way"

AN EXCEPTION MADE.
In Case of C. M. Leitch at Wilmington,
Delaware

President Roosevelt has rendered an opin-
Ion making an exception in the case of c.
M. Leitch, the deputy collector of internal
revenue at Wilmington, Del about whose
oftice-holding there has been a great Juror
In little Delaware. Besides being a deputy
collector, Leitch is president of the city
council of Wilmington, which pays him a
salary of several hundred a year. Leitch
holds the balance of power in the council
between the democrats and republicans. Be
ing a republican, his party benefits by his
vote. When the protest against his c0ntinu-
alton in both places was made to the COM
missioner of internal revenue, it was prac-
tically certain that Leitch would have to
give up one place or the other but the
matter was taken up with the President
by Senator Alice and Representative Bur
ton of Delaware, with the result that the
President has made exception in this
case. The resignation of Leitch from the
city council, it is claimed, would have re-
suited in a fierce deadlock between the two
parties and the holding up of the business
of the city. The Presidents attitude is
against federal office-holders actively par
ticipating in politics, as Letch is doing.

DOMINICAN CUSTOMS.
Statement From Col. Cotton, Controller
and General Receiver.

statement has been received from Col
George r. Cotton, controller and general
receiver of Dominican customs under the
modus vivendi, in regard to the customs
collection for the month of June the third
month under the present system, which
shows that the amount collected was s193,-
951.93. OF that amount. after paying all
expenses of collection, s96, $3.50 was de-
posted to the benefit of the trust fund to
await the action of the Senate on the
existing treaty, and So, 710.33 was placed
to the credit of the Dominican govern
ment. This statement is regarded as very
favorable. the amount collected exceeding
the amount collected in the preceding
month of May by about $57 900

the conference is wrecked That can be re-
garded as certain If the conference threat
ems at the last moment to go to pieces the
Japanese hint vaguely at an attempt at
rescue by President Roosevelt They offer
no explanation they furnish no specifica-
tons.
Where how and in what way they do
not say. Perhaps tomorrow or Sunday an
emissary might be sent to Oyster Bay to
sound the President. Perhaps if they per-
sonally believe in yielding one of the main
points and their government is still obdur-
ate they will ask President Roosevelt to IN
tercede to bring pressure to bear at Tokyo.
The President might be asked simultane-
ously to urge both the Russian and Japa-
nese emperors in the name of humanity to
make mutual concessions But old hands
at diplomacy say the situation created
would be so delicate as to preclude the pos
sibility of President Roosevelt stepping into
the breach.

! NEW ORLEANS. August 1S.-An analy-
| sis of the report for the preceding twenty
| four hours shows that thirty-two of the
| seventy-four new cases of yellow fever ap
peared in the heart of the originally in
fected quarters. The explanation given
by the inspectors is that after their own
houses are disinfected and the mosquitoes
killed some of the Italians go around and
pay visits to sick friends. become infected
themselves and carry the fever home with
them.
The situation above Canal street contin-
ues to improve. In that section obedience
to the federal regulations is more general.
and the results plain. While the report
showed five only three new
squares are infected.
The unexpected decline In the death rate
is giving such feeling of satisfaction here
that people are beginning to believe that
the possibilities of the visitations have
been overdrawn. The doctors, however,
say that the low death rate is due to the
fact that practically the whole community
has been educated up to the necessity of
calling a doctor the moment the tempera-
ture develops.
An Effective Campaign.
One of the results of the campaign is
likely to be an insistent demand hereafter
that all doctors and all citizens shall pledge
themselves to make known the appearance
of the first suspicious case.
So successful have the authorities been
In removing foci in the upper section of the
city that the belief is general that if the
first cases here had been promptly reported
they could have been handled, the Infection
stamped out and New Orleans spared a
quarantine of long duration.
Bon Ami and Arduine plantation, in Ter
rabonne parish, are both practically free of
fever now, but close watch is to be kept
for secondary infection. At Patterson
while the total cases have reached fifty
five the death rate has been insignificant
that the early alarm has passed. Alexan-
dria has still only one case.
Board of Health Helpless.
The board of health at Lake Charles
finds itself helpless to make headway
against the state of public opinion in the
town. The health authorities desire to put
on a moderate quarantine, but the munic-
ipal officials, and the citizens generally have
ranged themselves the other side and all
efforts to open the doors to freight from
New Orleans have been unsuccessful thus
far.
President Souchon has asked the railways
to some trains TO infected points In
order to furnish supplies to the people Dr.
White has indo:sed the recommendation
both as a means of relief to people in
stricken communities and sanitary
measure.
In order to force general compliance with
the mosquito ordinance Inspector Whitaker
has notified his officers to put all violators
in cells. The inspector is vested with large
powers, and it Is believed that this order
will have a widespread effect. A number
of Italians in comfortable circumstances
have already been lodged In jail under tho
order.
