 A coherent and intrinsically interest ing plot would indeed be astonishing in

New York, May 14.-Wall street is
to have a new skyscraper which will
enjoy the distinction of occupying the
most valuable plot of ground in the
world This is located at the south
east corner of Broadway and Wall
street, opposite Trinity church. 1t
will be put up by st. Louis com
pany at a cost of 100000 and will
be ready for occupancy about Janu-
airy /, 1907.
The new skyscraper will be one of
the most remarkable buildings ever
constructed. Although 1t will rise to
height of 220 feet, the foundations
will be only 80 by 80 feet. This is
the tallest building ever put up on so
small base, and architects have had
TO give particular attention to utiliZ-
ing every inch OF this space and to
bracing the structure against the
wind.
The interior of the new building
will be of steel and bronze finish, but
there will be no attempt at ornament
alton. Instead of establishment, the
architects have been bent upon max
ing the structure absolutely fire proof.
Tenants could not be secured for such
a building, which is scarcely more
than a huge flue. unless the danger
from fire was eliminated. This has

OFFERS THE STEEL
FOR NEW CAR LINE
COL. W. S. HoPEWELL WILL SUP
PLY 56-PoUND RAILS FOR PRO-
POSED HIGHLAND CAR LINE IN
EVENT SUBSIDY is RAISED.

Col. w. S. Hopewell of the Albu-
querque Eastern Railroad company
has informed the promoters of the
proposed street railway line into the
Highlands that in case of their in
ability 10 obtain steel, owing to the
rush occasioned by the building of
San Francisco and the scarcity of
steel that is not marketed before be-
ing manufactured, he will supply them
with a mile and half of 56-pound
rails, now at MOriarty, doing so, he
said, to avoid any veXatious delays in
the construction of the proposed line
here and as it will not inconvenience
him in the least as a big order for
steel is TO go into a steel factory
in the near future ANYWAY, and a mile
and a half, more or less will not make
any difference.
Those pushing the matter of a
Highland street railway say that there
is but little doubt but what the neces-
sary $4,000 subsidy will be cOntribut-
ed, and that 1t is their intention TO go
before the city council, at their next
meeting, and ask for a franchise, and
that work on the new line would begin
within sixty days Of the granting OF
this franchise, and completed and in
operation within a year afterward.
As the inability to get the neces-
sary steel was one of the main feat
ures over which the promoters were
worrying, this offer of Col. Hopewell
does away with at least one obstacle
and it is probable that in the event
the subsidy is raised, the Highlands
residents will be served with a street
car service within a year from date.

PLAN TO COAL WARSHIPS

at sea are desirous of having their
methods tested on beard of one of the

afte rthe manner of the experiments
contemplated with an English system
which has met with much approval
abroad. The question of coaling at

One of the devices to be tried con

He Would Not Let 1000 Men

Take Part.

St. Petersburg, May 1.-THE work
men of st. Petersburg today made an
imposing showing in their May day
celebration. Practically every factory,
mill and shop in the city was idle,
and over 100000 men joined in the
demonstration Early reports from
the interior showed that work was
generally suspended. While the lead
ers professed the intention to avoid
collisions, the radical element, which
is boycotting Che parliament, de-
termined to celebrate the day with
manifestations. The gravest fears are
entertained that the day will not
pass without bloodshed.
Worst Fears Realized.
Vice Admiral KuZmich, commander
of the port, who was very unpopular
with the workmen, was assassinated
here today by workmen whose May
day demonstration he had attempted
to stop. The admiral was killed at
the new Admiralty works, the govern
ment institution where the most OF

ing. They wanted to march out in a
body to celebrate the Russian May
day, but finally agreed to work until
o'clock. The admiral, however. said
that he would not agree to their leav
ing at 2 O'Clock and the matter was
left open. About $3.50 O'Clock, as the
admiral was emerging from one of the
shops, man jumped from a corner
or the building and drove a long dag
| ger into his back. The admiral i'm
mediately fell dead. The assassin
