M. WITTE ON AMERICAN SYM
PATTY.

The New York Sun recently said
that M. White was the greatest liar
that ever came out from the east, ana
the following sentence from his speech
on his return to ST. Petersburg seems
to bear out the assertion: Il have
performed lily duty we'll because l
have strictly obeyed his majecty's in
structions, because circumstances IA
yored me, because all the world is
weary of war, because all classes of
American society from President
Roosevelt down were in sympathy
with our cause"
q If by this, M. White means that all
classes of society in this country were
in sympathy with an honorable end
ing of the war; he is correct, but if he
would have his countrymen believe
that America was in sympathy with
the cause for which Russia undertook
the war, he states what is not true,
and what he knows is not true. To
say that America sympathized with
Russia in the war is to say that
America. was inSincere in her pro-
tests against Russian operations in
Manchuria, in her stand for the open
door in China, in her insistence upon
Russia evacuating Mancnuria accord
ing to contract If M. White now
speaks the truth then William Nc
Kinley, John Hay and Theodore
Roosevelt were arrant liars.

The explosion had it's initial point In the

terrific. The propulsion from the drift
mouth was so great that the huge drum,
used in lowering the loaded cars down the
incline thousand feet to the upple, was
torn from its fastenings and hurled down
the mountainside some 600 feet. while the
upper end of the incline had been torn up

cross ties ripped from their ballast and
strewn along for hundreds of feet down
toward the river.
The sheet of flame that accompanied the
explosion licked to charcoal and cinder

DECLINED A PERMIT
QUESTION OVER ERECTION OF
APARTMENT HOUSE.

The District Commissioners have declined
to issue a permit to the Kenesaw Apart
ment House Company for the erection of
tall apartment house on the triangle at
10th street and Kenesaw avenue. The Com
missioners it is understood desire, if posi-
ble to maintain 10th street as great thor
oughfare from the White House to the Rock
Creek National Park, and it is desired that
this street be reserved for splendid resi-
dence houses. Another consideration, 1t Is
stated, which actuated the Commissioners
in refusing the permit for the apartment
house is that the triangular piece of ground
proposed as a site for the structure, 1t is
Contemplated, will be purchased by the
government and, set aside as park.
Senator Gallnger, chairman of the Senate
District committee takes a position in sup
port of the Commissioners in refusing the
apartment house permit. When the build
days ago, Mr. G. H. Ames. on behalf of res
idents in that section Of the city, filed
bill in equity in3the Supreme Court of the
District, praying for, action to be taken to
prevent the construction of the apartment
house. Senator Gallinger noticed the news
paper reports Of the proceedings, and adj
dressed the Commissioners on the subject.
He recalled the facts that during the
last session Of Congress a bill passed the
Senate for the purchase Of the triangle
for q park, that 1t Was reported favorabsy
in the House. and was placed In the ON
nibus public buildings bill. which failed of
passage. 81 20
This clearly indicates that both houses
of Congress are in favor of purchasing the
triangle, and feel sure that If the matter
can be held up until the next session
prompt action will be taken toward secur-
Ing the property for the government" said
he, In a letter to the Commissioners. ut
will be a great misfortune to have 10th
street marred by the construction OF a
building of that kind. The street ought to
be saved for fine residences. and I feel
sure that all who have an interest in the
welfare of Washington viii agree with me
that every possible EFFORT should be put forth
in that direction. beg to say that trust
the Commissioners VII feel justified In de-
proposed apartment house for a reasonable
time, or until Congress- can have an oppor-
tunity to act in the matter"
The recommendations Of Colonel Eiddle
with respect to the application OF the
Apartment house company, which have
been approved by the board of commis-
sioners, are a. follows:
sTIrst-That the application OF the KEN
esaw Apartment House Company 70 erees
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-03-20

an apartment house on the triangle at 18th
street and Kenesaw avenue be refused.
''Second-That the Commissioners decline
to grant any projections on public space
in the case of an apartment house on this
triangle.
Il further move that the applicant for
permission to erect the apartment house in
question be notified to the above effect and
also that copy of the action of the Com
missioners be forwarded to Senator Gal
linger."
In the event the apartment house COM
pany should seek to compel the Commits
sioners, through appeal to the courts, to is
sue a permit for the apartment house on
the triangle, it is believed that the refusal
of tie Commissioners to grant any projec-
tons on public space in the case of the
proposed structure would be another seri-
GUS obstacle in the way of the erection Of
the building
