Journal Notes Leaping

BURNHAM COMMITTEE WORK
Predicted Washington Will Become
Country's Metropolis as Well
as Capital.

The Architects and Builders Journal
OF Baltimore. in recent issue. has this
to say on the subject of the expansion
of Washington:
The first decade of the twentieth cen
tury may justly be considered an I'M
portant epoch IN the expansion and de-
velopment OF the Nations Capital.
The beautifying of Washington under
the Burnham Commissions plan has
given an impetus IN building unparallel-
ed IN It's history Ia every section there
is evident an activity in building which
is gradually changing the aspect Of
structural Washington and forming Of
II new city.
Marvellous Increase in Value.
This development has greatly in
creased the value OF real estate
in all sections of the Capital and
property is today bringing almost as
much per front foot as an ordinary
building lot would have cost "A few
years ago. A lot 50 feet front and log
feet deep. at the southeast corner of
Fourteenth and L streets. recently sold
for $4,000. which hure a real estate
expert considered a fair price. vet a
score OF years ago $4,000 would have
been considered liberal valuation. Two
of the corners OF this intersection of
streets are occupied By banks. and il is
probable the property referred to may
also become the site for a financial in
stitution. The business expansion in
Washington is gradually crowding the
contiguous residential section. and trade
Is treading close on the heels Of society.
This is creating "a great demand for
dwellings, and Notwithstanding that
during the last hve years hundreds Of
handsome dwellings, have been erected
the supply is not equal to &c demand.
Actual City of Homes.
Washington is yearly becoming more
than ever a city OF homes People. a
majority of whom are in the Govern
ment employ have become dissatisfied
with the comfortless makeshift of
boarding, and are clamoring for homes
OF their own. The application Of civil
service rules has given a large class
of oficeholders something of a perma-
nent tenure upon their position. and
they have become established residents
of the Capital This is why there are
so many homeseekers and why the sup
ply OF houses is Inadequate, The cree
ton of numerous department houses
partially relieves the situation, but
these are filled up as soon as tenanta5l
and the cry is still for more. Like a
huge octopus Washington is extending
its tentacles into the suburbs until its
radius has nearly doubled itself in the
last ten years. 1t is already the CEN
ter OF wealth. learning and culture, and
il is not wild guess To predict that il
will one day be the metropolis as well
as the capital of the nation"

WANT LIBERALS IN OFFICE
Efforts Being Made with Governor
Maeoon to Dismiss Moderates from
Various Offices and Replace
Them With Liberals.

HAVANA, Nov. S.-There is a grow
ing sentiment of dissatisfaction among
the Liberals of Cuba and Havana in
consequence of the lack Of success Of
their efforts to induce Governor Ma
COON to dismiss the Moderates from
Office and replace them with Liberals.
The sentiment was crystalized to-
night at secret meeting of the Lib
eral committee on appointments.
There were present Pine Guerra, AL
fredo Zeyas Jose Miguel Gomez and
General Castillo and representatives
from all the provinces.
Special objections were made to
the appointment of various minor Of
ficials in the custom house. Up to
the present time the leaders Of the
Liberals have protested that they do
not seek office and are entirely will
ing to abide by the selections made by
Magoon. 1t was decided to appoint
committee to call on the governor and
express the party's dissatisfaction.

Incurred by the Count, but Draws

PARIS. Nov. S.---The final word to-
day In the Castellane divorce proceed
ings was Maitre Bonnet's assertion
that Count Bonis undying affection
for his wife. and that the case be ad-
journed for two weeks In order to
give the Countess an opportunity to
reflect on the advisability Of rec
oncIlation. This the court refused TO
do and adjourned for one week. when
the decision will be rendered either
ordering an inquiry or granting the
divorce.
Today's proceedings were confined
largely to tilts between the opposing
counsel over charges made yesterday
against Edmond Kelly of the counsel
for the Countess. Kelly has indignant
ly denied the charges and makes coun-
ter charges that the Count himself
hatched up the conspiracy for the
purpose OF making his wife believe
that Kelly had organized a plot to
bring about the Counts political de-
struction. The argument OF the cred
itors' case was opened by Maitre Mil
Ter and who claimed the lions share
OF the money involved which was ow-
ing to tradesmen. 1t Is stated on
good authority that this claim will be
contested by the Countess attorneys
who are settling all legitimate bills
against the Count, but refuse to pay
what are considered protiigacy bills,

CRITICISMS ONADMlNIsTRATlON
Division of Opinion Whether Election
Was Victory for Roosevelt or an
indication of Popular Revolt
Against Trusts.

LONDON, Nov. S.--All the morning
papers publish long editorial articles
on the result of the election in New
York state. Few of them say any
thing of the results in other states.
with scarcely an exception they COM
ment on the close vote as an indica-
tion of the popular discomfort with
enormous combinations Of capital.
The Daily Telegraph thinks the NOR
al is that Americans, while "Not quite
ready to accept 'Hearstism' in full.
are heartily sick of being robbed by
trusts and corporations and are pre-
pared to 60 considerable way in that
direction
The News believes that with
Wealth, culture and intelligence
against Mr.. Hearst, "his strength is
one particular portion of the world
movement of unrest"
The Mail considers the result as an
evidence of Growing evaporation
against trusts and their tactics" while
the Chronicle, in similar vein, says;
Americans, If they are wise, will
read the true moral not in the major
ity against Mr.. Hearst, but in the huge
minority for him."
Several newspapers comment on the
intervention Of President Roosevelt
through Secretary Root. The Stand
ard and the Tribune consider the re-
suit serious rebuff for the Pres
ident, while the Mail says 1t is an
'Unquestionable victory" for him.
The Telegraph says the President
will find little cause for self-congrat-
ulation" in the result. while the Post
saws he turned the scale in & critical
moment in what 1t calls the cause Of
decency."
The interview with Richard Croker
also is credited with affecting the re-
suit and the Chronicle voices the opin-
ion of a majority of the press when
1t says. mfr. Murphy has had the best
of the DEAL"
