Question of Consideration

After the graNcr question Oi naIlOnaI ownership. came the minor one of pecuniary consideration. The measure of tine value of land to am individual owner i, the amount of yearly income it can be made to yield him. But national domain give, prestige, power and safety to the state: and is not easily to be measured by dollars and cents. Hundreds of millions cannot purchase these. nor compensate for their loss.
 It wuS necessary, however, to liN up- on some definite sum To put in the treaty not so small a., to belittle the transaction i'm the public eye nor so large a, to deprive it of it's real char aclcr as am act of friendship on the part O. Russia toward the United Statc,
 Neither side vas especially tenacious about the amount. The previous treaties for the acquisition by the United State, ofterritorieS from France Spain and Mexico. though far from re- presenting actual values, seemed to form an index for valuation. The Russians thought SlO,00O,OOO would be a reasonable amount Seward proposed S5.OOO,OOO. Dividing the difference made it S7,5OOO.OOO. Then, atSeward's suggestion, the half million was thrown off. But the territory was still sub iect to some privileges and franchises of the Russian Fur Company. Seward insisted that these should be eXtin- guished by the Russian government before the transfer, and proposed to add $2OO,O ,OOO to the consideration money on that account. This was accepted. At this valuation of S7, 100000 the bar gain could be deemed satisfactory even from the standpoint of the individual fisherman. miner and wood-cutter; for the timber, mines, furS and fisheries, would easily yield the annual interest on that sum.

Army Ration Plan. Street Car

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-Iecon-
struction of San Francisco has begun
in earnest. and as il result many desti-
tute men have secured work. Distribu-
ton of food TO the homeless on the
army ration plan as evolved by Major
General Greedy is o the order, and
the output of supplies was %lessened, SO
that twenty-one days food is now in
sight. The relief committee is uncer-
tain, however, how soon free supplies
may fail, and plans are under consider
alton to prevent a famine.
Signs of renewal of industrial activ-
ity were apparent in many parts of the
burned area, and the work of clearing
away debris preparatory to rebuilding
was in progress in a score of places.
1t was said that plans for more than
thirty large buildings have been drawn
and will be submitted to the authori-
ties as soon as the new building laws
are promulgated.
Street car lines are extending in all
directions, and the United Railways
company has promised to give the peo-
pie within a short time a better system

Resurrect Your Old Crochet Work
and Make Use of It on the New
Lingerie Blouse.

The tailor's secret of making a
bodice belt defy the sagging effects OF
time and frequent wear is a very
simple one. Whether the belt be
made at home or be purchased in a
shop, the little finishing touch may be
applied with excellent results. Those
that are bought ready-made have
usually the w~halebone in the back
sometimes there are even three, con-
verging to a "V" at the waist line and
widening at the top. There is also
one on either side in front, where the
belt fastens. These should be sup
plemented by a bone half way be-
tween the front and back, just where
the gathers begin to widen. But the
real stay that will make your belt
shapely throughout its lifetime is the
waistband-like that fastened inside
any ordinary bodice. This is fastened
to the belt just where those three
bones are placed in the back. 1t fits
snugly, bears the strain and ave the
soft silk or satin from the stretching
process certain to come in the curse
of a few wearings.
Have any of the housewives old
fashioned crocheted tides which they
have concealed in the dark recesses of
their closets? If SO, now is the time
to bring them out. but for dress trim
ming. Fashion has set the seal of her
approval upon handmade lace, and
there is nothing more modish than
the pretty crocheted lace with which
every woman was wont to occupy her
spare time a few years ago. Women
folk were especially fond of making
tides of the little round wheels of
crocheted lace. Tow, while these
tides were hideous as ornaments for
chairs they are really lovely when
taken apart and set in dainty waists
as medallions. A tour of the shops
will show many beautiful lingerie
waists with yoke and other fancy ef'
fects formed of lace medallions. One
clever girl who found IN old-fashioned
tidy in the attic brought 1t to light OF
day and after washing and separating
the wheels put half a dozen on the
front of her new lingerie blouse. The
effect was charming and the girl Is
now receiving congratulations on hel

cents an hour. The committee, so it
is said, went into details, bringing to
the minds of the %journeymen that at
the present time building was not
over brisk in this city, as many peo-
pie were holding off, and that if the
labor troubles could be settled and
work doomed ahead they would grant
the one cent difference to the jour
neymen. a year from today. The
Ejourneymen held firm to the first de-
mands.
At the special meeting of the jour
neymen carpenters this morning it is
said that word was received from
that work was plentiful and that this
afternoon a hundred men will leave
here. At this meeting it is said that
the carpenters decided not to give in
now unless they received forty-five
cents an hour.
Although the plumbers notified the
bosses some time ago officially that
they would have to have a raise
commencing today from $3.50 to 81
a day they received no official notice
from the bosses, but some were noti-
fed that they would be given an in
crease of twenty-five cents a day, or
$3.75 per day. This the plumbers
would not stand for and they did not
return to work this morning. They
have plenty of work outside and
claim that they will leave here within
a few days if a settlement is not
reached. The timers who have a
union also get SO per day and they
want $3.50. They have reached no
agreement and quit work last night.
Some of the bosses do not seem to
think that the tie-up will last long.
but others are afraid that it will be
long enough to put the work in the
town so far back that it will take
months to reach the place where they
left off. Most of the mechanics have
been working full time for the past
year. They now receive strike money
from the International Union and in
this way they claim they will be able
to get along.

'HONORS FOR
GEN. PORTER.
Congress Thanks Former mDaS'
sadOr 10 France for Body OF
Paul Jones.

WASHINGTON. May 1. General
uor,ce Porter. late ambassador TO
France and who directed the move
mont for the recovery OF the Douy OF
Iohn Paul Jones, has received a
t.ibute In tlIe house of representatives,
Moth IN words and in the unanimous
,jontion of a resolution, extending
him the. thanks of congress and of the
neople of the country for the recovery
of the body of the century dead adj
miril.
The thanks of congress are reserved
TO be extended only on very rare oc-
casions and consequently at long IN
tervaIs. The last time such action was
taken Admiral Dewey was honored.
The battle of Manila bay had just been
fought, and the country warmly APP
plauded the resolutions then passed.
Aside from thanks to army and navy
heroes, the last resolution of this char
acter was passed during the civil war;
when Commodore Vanderbilt was
thanked for presenting a ship TO the
nation. Henry NJ. Stanley also receiV-
ed the honor as a reward TOT his sclen-
tific explorations in Africa.
The thanks of congress carry the
privilege of the floor of bot senate
and house for all time to the recipient.
AS an added compliment, General
Porter was asked in an amendment
to the resolution to furnish for publ
cation in the Congressional Record a
copy of his speech at the recent exer-
cises at Annapolis.
General Porter's services involved a
personal outlay of not less than $780,
600. for which he has declined to be re-
imbursed.
The house committee has made a
favorable report on Il senate bill APP
propriating $4,000 for a pedestal to a
monument to John Paul Jones, to be
erected in the grounds of the Congress
sional library, adjacent to the capitol.
