IMPROVING WASHINGTON.

The work Of destroying thirty two
dwellia houses in Washington to make
way for the new office building for Sena-
tors of the United States has begun. Tne
square devoted to the new building is
bounded by str Get, Delaware avenue, G
street and first street northeast. One side
of this square faces the Capitol grounds
on the north The Library building, the
House Office building, and.the Senate Of
flee building will take up about half the
space surrounding the Capitol park They
will monopolize all the high ground in
the immediate vincinity of the Capitol.
The west side Of the square First street
west) and the south side (B street south)
will probably remain for generations to
come about as "ratty" a section in ap-
pearauce as any in Washington. There
seems no redemption for this section but
to put fine public buildings on it. and
even with frequent multiplication of the
present extravaganza of Congress this
scheme could hardly be realized in the
next half century. The proximity of
public buildings does not appear to be as
helpful to real estate in Washington as
would be the general expectation. About
half the distance around the park in
which the great Capitol building is locat-
ed will be beautifed by the buildings fin
ished and in contemplation. The Libra
~ is frequently classed as the finest
building in the world, considered either
from an exterior or an interior point of
view. The rest of the surrounding is like
ly to remain indefinitely disgraceful un-
less the government takes more land for
park purposes and tears away the ram
shackle buildings and makes the vacant
lots presentable. Probably it is not worth
a thought to consider any s:ch enterprise
till we get our navy up to the highest
standard. The CONVEX sion of los Of
shabby ''joints' into antxensi'n IT api
tol Park would have keen less cost than
constructing Senate and House offic"
buildings, and would have been mole
pleasing to the eyes Of the owners OF
Washington public buildings and
grounds when they go to behold and in
auguration or to see about that little Fed
eral appointment. A great and good gov
eminent like ours is worth spending
great deal of money on, but there are
economists who think that our generosity
is not always well directed, and that it
has invaded the field Of eXtrayagance.-

THE NEW JURY LAW is
VALID.

An opinion was handed down Wed
ncsday in the Court of Appeals by
Judge Pearce in the case of the State
against Edward McNay, ST., appealed
from the Circuit Court for this coun.
ty.
In this case the Court of Appeals
upholds the validity of the jury act
for this county passed by the last leg
islature, which transfers the drawing
Of the jury lists from the sheriff to
jury commissioners appointed by the
Governor under the provisions of the
act. The opinion upholds the con-
tention of the state that the plea filed
by the defense was bad for duplicity,
but on account of the Importance Of
the matter it discusses the main ques-
ton, all the objections to the validity
of the law being held as bad.
The opinion discusses very fully
the claim that the grand jury which
indicted the appellee for selling liquor
on Sunday did not consist of % law
fully selected members, it being ad-
mitted that one of the number was ex-
cused from duty, it having developed
that he could neither read nor write,
as required by law.
The conclusion is reached that this
provision, so far as it relates to the
continuing personnel of the jury, is
mandatory, and not directory. The
provision that the jury shall be made
up of % persons is, the court holds,
directory, but no decision OF the Court
of Appeals has gone to the length OF
holding that all Of its acts are vitiated
should it at any time be composed OF
less number. To give it this inter-
probation, the court holds, would be
most mischievous.
As to the second objection, that the
legislature had no power to transfer
the duty Of selecting the original
names for the drawing OF the jury
from the sheriff to the jury commits
sioners, large number Of incidents
are cited to show that different state
legislatures have imposed this duty
on various officials.
The final objection was that the
Jury commissioners had not selected
the jurors from the polling and tax
lists, as required by law, but bad Sc
lected them upon the recommendation
of other parties. The court holds
that thore is nothing to show that
these selections were not made entire
ly as required by law. 1t bad been
properly the custom, the opinions
states, for the court to inform itsel'
by inquiry as to the qualifications OF
members, and this could also be done
by the jury commissioners, who sue
ceeded to certain of their functions.

RUSSIAN RETREAT MAY BE
CUT OFF.

General Linevitch reports seeing
japanese cavalry in his front and in
fantry behind it, indicating that his
retreat may be cut off.
The peace party at St. Petersburg
is more confident and regards peace
proposal in the near future as rroba-
BILE.
The retreat of the Russians from
Tie pass was 50 rapid that many
horses and cattle in the transport
train became exhausted and were aban-
doned in the roads, but the pursuing
japanese, according to the Russian
admissions, could not be shaken OFT
and continually harrassed the rear and
tanks.
St Petersburg is highly elated over
the celebrity of the retreat and regards
it as evidence of the excellent morale
of the troops.
