Site for the Palace of Peace.

In connection with the recent legislation
in the chamber of the Netherlands, provld-
ing the necessary ground for the palace of
Peace" the money for which institution
was contributed by Andrew Carnegie, some
of the details have reached here, showing
the keen interest of the Netherlands govern
ment. The government was anxious to Sc
lect tract belonging to private individuals,
but the chamber preferred two lots for
which the consent of the municipality Of
The Hague was required. The municipal
ity. however, refused it's consent on esthetic
grounds. and the idea also did not greatly
appeal to the committee of the Carnegie
Institution. AS result of the committees
negotiations society at The Hague agreed
to make over for 100000 twelve acres in
the ''Zorgvliet Park which has been in
existence for centuries. The Netherlands
government took the position that Mr.. Car
negie has always intended that the neces-
sary ground should be provided by the gov
eminent. Otherwise, according to its view
the difficulties involved In the execution OF
the project would have been considerably
increased.

TO COLONIZE TEXAS.
Proposed immigration of a Thousand
Japanese Farmers,

japanese colonization IS contemplated in
Texas by a very wealthy japanese agricul-
turist. who recently visited the United
States, and. recognizing the advantages Of
fered for farming in the state of Texas. is
about to collect 1000 farmers to cultivate
an area of $500 acres in paddy fields This
information has Just reached the Depart
ment of State in report from United
States Consul Fisher at Tamsui Formosa
The Japanese agent in Texas reported that
farming was the only enterprise that can
be profitably undertaken in America by
the Japanese. He stated that Japanese
could save more money in this country
than those who are employed in Hawaii be-
cause he could supply the larger part of his
daily diet. such as vegetables and rice. from
his own productions. whereas in Hawaii
all of the rice and other articles of his
diet are imported from Japan thereby in
creasing their price very much The land
which he intends to cultivate was until "A
fe wyears ago used for grazing. and the soil
is very rich. The Japanese intends to in
vest $4,000 100000 during the first
year in the purchase of land and other ex-
penses, and he estimates that at the end OF
four years a profit of $l.000000 Will lie
realized.

Charges of theft and vagrancy We're pre-
fcrred against William Brassaw, twenty
eight years Old who was arrested yester-
day afternoon by Sergt. Wilson and Po-
lceman Kleindinst and locked up at the

man and told him of the soldiers conduct.
Il gave him a quarter he said, "and L
saw him stop three others and get money.
He has now gone in store. and l think
he is going to buy a pocketbook to put
his money in
Brassaw's conduct seemed suspicious. and
the policeman followed him to q place
where he saw him examining a pocket
book, pair of cuff buttons and magnl-
flying glass.
Il don't know why I took them he
said when placed under arrest.

Little Milk Consumed in Southern
Cities

The results of an investigation of the milk
supply of southern cities are given in re-
port issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture which declares that the two evils of
the industry in that section are the keeping
of cows in small Enclosures inside the city
limits and the delivery of warm milk to
consumers The report says that compare
lively little milk is consumed in most south
ern cities. the amount per capita being not
quite one-half pint in Richmond and the
average southern city, while at Pensacola
the average is as low as one-fifth of pint.
and i'm Mobile less than one-tenth pint. The
reports on tuberculin tests in a considerable
number of southern cities showed an I'M
usually low percentage of infected cows.

NEW FERRY HOUSE.
Work Progressing Rapidly on It
Here

The improvements at the Norfolk and
Washington line ferry wharf are progress
ing rapidly and before the middle of next
month the new ferry house will be COM
pleted and ready for use. The new build
ing is now under roof and yesterday the
workmen started the putting of the
metal sheathing that will form the outside
of the structure. The ferry house proper
is in the center of the new structure and
big drivewayS are on each side the one to
the south leading out to the ferry boats and
The dredging and filling for the new ferry
slip has been completed and tomorrow
morning two ple-driving machines will go
to work driving the piling that Will form
the slip in which the ferry steamers will
lie while loading teams and passengers.
Work has progressed more slowly at the
Alexandra end, and, though machine has
been at work there for over a week many
of the piles in the old broken-down slip
are still standing. At the Alexandria ter
minal 1t is proposed to build entirely
new pier and slip, to change the location
of the ferry house SO that passengers COM
ing from the boats will not come in con-
tact with teams and to make other changes
that will greatly improve the plant. AS
yet no time can be set for the resumption
of ferry service. 1t is estimated that in
establishing the ferry route the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company VIII
expend over half million of dollars.
