WAR COLLEGE PLANS
GENERAL MACKENZIE EXPECTS
BUILDING TO BE FINISHED By SIP

Gen. Mackenzie, chief of engineers. re-
ports to the Secretary of War that the
Army War College at Washington bar
racks reservation, for which 100000 was
appropriated. will probably be entirely conf
pleted and ready for occupancy In the late
spring of 1906 Regarding the buildings for
the engineer school and post at the same
reservation for which $1.010.O00 was ap-
proprated, Gen. Mackenzie says:
"Founda tons for the bachelor officers
quarters have been completed, but moth
ing else has been done on the superstruc-
ture because of unusual and abnormal con-
ditions which have arisen, and which throw
some doubt upon the stability of the founda-
ton. 1t is probable that it will not be safe
to complete the erection OF this building
until either James Creek canal is filled up
or an adequate and suitable sea wall is
built along that part Of it near the site or
the bachelor officers quarters
Barracks Entirely Rebuilt.
"The original arrangement of buildings at
Washington barracks made only about 60
per cent of the reservation available for
any purpose. When plans for reconstruc-
ton were adopted they were laid out SO
that ultimately the entire reservation will
be available. The entire completion Of the
plan would involve the elimination Of all
Old buildings. and this would lead 20 the
erection of more new buildings than have
been Included in any estimate Of cost. None
of the old buildings will fit into the new
plan either as to location or design; most OF
them are in an advanced state Of de-
terioration, and could not be counted upon
for much further useful service in any
event. Ultimate economy has therefore de-
manded the adoption of plan Of recon
struction which cannot be finished at the
present time, but which will leave the fu-
ture development of the post free from en-
barrassing conditions which have resulted
from the way in which the old buildings
were located"
Gen. Mackenzie says the storage facili-
ties for the Washington engineer depot have
not improved during the year. The depot
property has been stored in various old
brick and frame buildings, and, for want
of sufficient space in these, a portion Of 1t
has been placed under temporary shelters.
With the completion of the new storehouse
now building in connection with the re-
construction Of the post of Washington
barracks, Gen Mackenzie says ample
facilities should become available within
the next six months.

NEITHER GETS MANSION.
JunaeI House Under PalIas-DaUgh-

President Pallas OF the Park Board yesterday
decided that the custody of the Roger Morris
house sometimes known the Jumel Mansion
and Washingtons Headquarters. should remain
with the Department Of Parks. campaign has
been carried on between the Colonial Danes and
the Daughters of the American Revolution Both
wished the custody Of the house. TO establish in
it an historical museum Recently Mr.. PalIas gave
q public hearing. At that hearing it became known
that the Daughters OF the American Revolution
were willing to join with the Colonial Danes in
caring for the mansion. but that the Colonial
Danes would not entertain the proposition.
Mr.. Pallas yesterday addressed TO the societies
interested g communication which said in part:
find that there is a substantial unanrnity in the
patriotic impulses and public spirit of the two
gauiZations Vy1ng with each other the question
of the custody OF this property. 1t is to be re-
gretted that this unanimty does go so far as TO
result in agreement TO join issues and pursue
this common purpose with the united strength OF
the two influential bodies that have been brought
into conflict. Such result would insure the
establishment of a museum of national Importance
I have tried in vain to harmouize the conflicting
claims OF the applicants and bring about union OF
effort toward such 4 grand result. 1t appears 10
be impossible
have therefore thought il best TO keep the Gus
tody Of this property in the Department OF Parks.
