American manufactures Is the only

ing. 1t Is situated In low-lyins dis
trict, much of which had for years en-
joyed the more or less cup honious name
of "Swampoodle," where negroes of the
lowest class lived and VIII, re crime was
rampant. This low ground is to be filled
up and the big union depo will almost
be on level with the cap tol, and the
group of magnificent public buildings
that are located and to be built about
the capitol plaza.
The earth necessary to fill up this hol-
low would constitute mountain, al
most, and 1t is being obtained from the
ress for the house and senate Office
buildings and from the tunnel which the
Pennsylvania railroad is digging under
Capitol hill. The rapidity with which
landmarks have been removed and FORM
er well built-up squares of the city have
disappeared has taken away the breath
of the old inhabitants. The big square
adjoining the northeast corner Of the
capitol grounds less than three months
ago was covered with rows Of houses,
some of them luxurious mansions. To-
day a big steam shovel is rapidly con-
verting that square into big hole in
the ground. The dirt and the debris as
it is being scooped out is loaded on cars
and quickly deposited on the ground
around the new depot. SO that by the
time the walls Of the latter have been
built, the surrounding squares will have
been raised to the height of 90 feet or
more.
The new depot will be in keeping with
the magnificent government buildings,
of which 1t will form an addition. 1t is
to be of white marble, and will be in har-
mony with the capitol when that old
building has been remodeled, as Is now
intended.

THE FURRY OVER PANAMA
Mistake of over-Anxious Free Trad
ers Regarding the Presi-
dents Policy.

When Il was first announced In
Washington that supplies for the Pan
anna canal would be purchased In the
cheapest market. whether foreign or
domestic, there was no intimation
whate ger that the administration in
tended to run amuck like a bargain
Monday shopper and straightway buy
all the cheap things It cosld abroad.
Instead. says the Chicago Record Her
aid, It was distinctly stated that sup
plies would be brought abroad only In
case of necessity and "in the absence
Of action by congress"
II any ardent partlsans at onco
jumped to the conclusion that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was stabbing protec-
ton to the heart that was their affair.
And II now. when they find the for
eign purchases In the immediate fu-
ture are apt to be very few, they
change their tune to denounce the
president for "backsliding under pres
sure" that is again their affair. The
administration hardly needed to issue
the statement that much amusement
had been created over the attempts to
distort the facts" The distortion and
the motive of 1t were plain enough as
II was.
AS for the manufacturers who were
so excited at the first announcement IL
Is clear that they have already come
to take a saner view OF the situation.
The steel rail pool is out with an ex-
PLANTATION that Is sort of apology. II
Panama sales are to be regarded as do
nestle business, II announces, Il can
not afford to make low rates to the
government. because then al the
American railroad companies would be
entitled to equally low rates. But n
the canal zone Is mot to be considered
part OF the United States" then Il Is
confident II can undersell any rail-
makers in the world and so get the
contracts. One Of the steel companies
feels certain that Russia will soon take
10000 tons Of steel rails from II for the
Siberian road, 30 that the confidence
OF the pool that II can get the much
smaller Panama contracts II It wants
them certainly seems justified.
Regarded from the business stand
point. which is the proper standpoint
to take. the presidents policy is thor
oughly consistent and praiseworthy.

The car of Russia and the emperor
of Germany might, If they please, dis
pute with each other as to which of
the two owns the greater number Of
palaces. Each might sleep in differ

not exhaust the number Of his various

Jap Generals in the Field.

Frederick Palmer. the correspondent.
who has been with Gen. Kuroki in the
field, says in his recently published
book: Gen. Kuroki spent most of his
time in the shade. Gen. Full, the chief,
went to sleep in the thick Of the fight
on the I'd. He had worked most Of the
night planning for that day. He could
not make the work of our infantry any
easier or make the FIRE Of our guns any
more accurate by watching them.

ingS and other important bureaus or the
department. Mr.. Taylor has about con-
cluded that his private interests can no
longer be sacrificed for $4,000 govern
ment job and the chances are that within
the next few months he will withdraw
from the public service.
The assistant secretary. who is affec-
tionately known as "Uncle Hod," is one
of the plain people" whom President
Roosevelt likes and talks so much about.
He was governor of Wisconsin, and in
his time perhaps has been the sGewdest
political leader in that state which
turns out past masters in the art of po-
litical manipulation. He is somewhat
picturesque character, man of homely
phrase, but good, sound, common sense.
He looks like prosperous farmer or cat
tie grower, who had invested consider
able money in banks and acquired little
of the polish Of city. He wears a heavy
suit of almost white hair, his face is
smooth shaver and full of healthy color
and he usually dresses in sack coat and
trousers of light-colored material. He
has a shrewd but kindly eye, and al
though very near" In making bust
ness bargain, he is bluff, big-hearted
western business man.
Like so many popular statesmen in
Washington, Mr.. Taylor is devoted
fisherman. He has caught every kind
of game fish from the rainbow trout to
the mighty salmon of Canadian waters.
He is never so happy as when, with con-
genial comrades, he is off TO the north
ern woods for a months fishing for bass,
pickerel or salmon. He has a collec-
ton of fishing rods that would make
the eyes Of old Izaak Walton bulge out
with envy II that gentle sportsman were
on earth to catch glimpse of them.

lor to remain in the treasury depart
ment. Secretary Shaw, westerner him
self, was not long in discovering the
worth of the ex-governor of Wisconsin.
When puzzling questions would arise
about the construction of public build
ings or the proper application of the
immigration laws, Mr.. Taylor had the
faculty of going right straight to the
main point of the question in way that
pleased Secretary Shaw very much.
When Mr.. Taylor first preached the sub
ject of retiring from the public service
a short time ago, Mr.. Shaw said: Look
here governor, don't want you to leave
the treasury. What will | do without
you? want you to stay in until the end
of my four years term, at least"
The dependence which Secretary
Shaw has on Uncle Hold" is apparent
when the records of the department
show that Mr.. Taylor has been acting
secretary of the treasury more than half
the time since Mr. Shaw first took Office.
Secretary Shaw feels perfectly conf
dent that while he is away Assistant
Secretary Taylor is conducting affairs
as they should be, and he does not hest
tate to take advantage of this fact.
Mr.. Taylor, when he goes out of Of
fee, will go of his own volition. Some
few years ago the assistant secretary
believed he saw great possibilities in a
business way in Alaska, and he estab-
lished bank at the City of Nome. His
foresight has been justified, and the
business of the bank has grown so great
and mining interests with which he is
connected are so important that he now
feels compelled to give them his undi-
vided attention.

at the time of Commodore Jones great
exploits in aiding the establishment OF

gued that now 1t Is the Mecca Of all pa

Arlington II is claimed that thousand
patriots would pay tribute at his tomb
where one will do so at Annapolis. The
latter, 1t is true, is the naval center of
the United States, and this Is the reason
why It was chosen as the final resting
place for the first American naval hero.
1t is claimed that his memorial there
will be an inspiration to the youths who
are taught at the naval academy, and
will serve to bring the lessons of his
great career more emphatically to their
minds. The history of the navy rests
at Annapolis and the navy claims Paul
Jones as Its own.
Admiral Dewey, the head OF the navy,
who has all the affection possible for his
alma mater at Annapolis, and who is
loyal to that naval town, takes broad
err view OF thsdisposition OF Paul Jones'
body. He believes that Jones belongs
to the whole people and not particularly
to the navy. AS the National cemetery
at Arlington, just across The Potomac
| from Washington, Is the resting place OF
both military and naval heroes, Admiral
Dewey believes that II is there the body
should lie. and great memorial be
erected. He believes that 1t should bs
