BUILDINGS OF ARMY
REPORT BY GEN. MACKENZIE,
CHIEF OF ENGINEERS.

Gen. Mackenzie, chief of engineers, has
| made a special report to the Secretary OF
War In regard to the buildings Tor the
Army War College and the Engineer School
| at Washington barracks. Regarding the
Army War College. he says: sss,.3
The terrace OF the War College building
| Is about 50 per cent completed. The build
| Ing itself is about IS per cent completed. 1t
would have been finished by the close Of
| the fiscal year but for the time required by
the architects to study some details OF In
terror finish as originally designed, and but
for the delays caused by contractors for
certain items OF the work who are very
much behindhand with the execution Of
their contracts. It is expected to have the
guiding finished by the close Of the first
quarter of the fiscal year 1907"
AS to the buildings for the Engineer
School. Gen. Mackenzie says that 50 much
completion of the entire post as was pos
s'ole with the funds available has been
completed.
In an accompanying report Major w. c.
Langtitt, commandment of the engineer
school, says:
1.-The most urgent present requirements of
the school are new buildings for the COM
plete accommodation of the school Of OH
GERS and for the proper administration OF
the post. The approved plans for the recon-
struction OF the post of Washington bar
racks contemplate providing suitable build
ings. They also provide for the removal Of
all old structures in which the various
elements are now inadequately housed, but
these buildings cannot be removed onr
can the approved plans for the post be ap-
proximately completed, until the needed ac-
comodations are properly supplied.
No Work on School Buildings
mo work has been undertaken so far on
the necessary school buildings owing to the
lack of funds, and 1t is earnestly recon-
mended that such appropriations as are
necessary for the erection of the buildings
planned for the engineer school may be
made at as early date as practicable, in
order that the existing unsatisfactory con-
ditions may be eliminated"
Commenting on these statements General
Mackenzie says 1t Is recommended that
Congress provide for as many of the items
referred to at the coming session as the
general condition of the public funds may
justify, with view to the early completion
of the post and school,
General Mackenzie submits an estimate
of $4,000 for the engineer equipment of
troops during the next fiscal yeaN In sup
port of the estimate he directs attention to
the deplorable condition of the pontoon
bridge equipment, much of which, he says.
dates back to the war of the rebellion. The
quantity on hand, he says, is only sufficient
for the routine pontoon drills of the present
number of authorized engineer troops.

field searchlights in both siege and field
operations was forcibly demonstrated at the

B. & O. PROTESTS RATES
COMPLAINTS TO INTERSTATE
CoMMERE COMMISSION.

From the Baltimore American.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has filed
a complaint with the interstate commerce
commission regarding the cutting of rates
made by various southern roads, which
have the advantage of a part water haul
from northern points, and asks order
prohibiting them from cutting under the di-
rect all-rail haul.
This request is made In view of the new
rate law. which, in effect. aims at equaiza-
tion OF rates and provides a way by which
competition may be made less formidable
than formerly.
New Lower Rates.
The various railroad systems of the At
lantic seaboard south of the Potomac, espe-
cially the Southern system, have been max
ing through rates from the large inland
manufacturing towns of New York, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, which are out
side of their territory. to st. Louis and the
west over entirely new routes at consider
ably less than the prevailing rates from
these manufacturing towns by way of the
Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania and
other lines, which run directly west to st.
Louis. The southern roads making this
cut have paid the. local rate over these
roads to the nearest seaboard outlet, and
then have been able by reason of the
cheaper water haul 10 put the goods in the
depots at ST. Louis at a figure which has
been attractive to the shippers. The rate
law furnishes an opportunity to do away
with this rate-cutting, and il has been
taken advantage of.
Just what the commission will do re-
mains to be seen. The law provides for
uniform rates and these must be estab-
lished. But should the complaint of the
Baltimore and Ohio and similar ones reg
istered by other interested roads be es-
tablished this enterprsing southern COM
petition, of which the eastern shippers were
securing the benefit, will be abolished.
Broadly speaking the effect of the law wiz
be to level rates by doing away with GER
tain inequalities which were inevitable
under the former system. But that ii will
also do away with a certain competition
which is advantageous to the shipper 10
also apparent.
Route Partly by Water.
The new through rate in operation by the.
southern roads has been partly by watese
and partly by rail. 1t has been by rail
the seaboard and thence by water to some
southern port-Norfolk or other-from
which 1t has been taken westward over the
Southern railway lines to the point of
destination. AS the rate has been consider
ably lower than that of the Baltimore and
Ohio and OF the Pennsylvania as well, the
reason for the complaints TO the commits
sion is apparent. Should the commission
sustain them, each would undoubtedly ham
the north inasmuch there would be no
nducement for the shipper TO prefer the
longer and slower haul to the sea board and
thence by water and rail to destination.
A decision on this important point is to
be made soon.

LABOR Is FLOURISHING
PRESIDENT GoMPERS REPORTS
TO ANNUAL CONVENTION.

A dispatch from Minneapolis says the
twenty sixth annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor was opened
with the annual report of President
Samuel Gompers, who outlined the progress
of the labor movement throughout the
country, laying special stress on the advent
of unionism into the political arena and
recommending that this course be followed
attentively. A strong plea was made for
the employment of American labor on the
Panama canal.
The annual report of Secretary Frank
to be in splendid financial condition and
stronger in membership than ever before.
The sessions will continue for two weeks.
On the platform when the convention
opened were President Gompers, Secretary
Morrison, Gov John A. johnson of Mime
sofa. w. H. Williams, state labor commits
sioner: Alderman E. Merrill, acting mayor
Trades and Labor Assembly and J. N.
Bell and c. A. Gee. the delegates of the
British Trades Union Congress. In the body
of the hall the delegates were seated at
the sides of seven long tables; well stocked
with stationery. About twenty women dele
gates are in attendance
A band of no pieces, picked from the
local musicians union, played THE Star
Spangled Banner" President Gompers was
the first to rise and the rest of the conven-
ton followed his example. Gov. Johnson
welcomed the federation and wished 1t
Godspeed in it's work for the uplifting Of
the laboring men of the United States.
The credentials committees report led to
a reopening of the old controversy between
the plumbers and the steamfitters. The
the steamfitters delegates and will take the
matter before the executive committee.

But the real four-ace hand that was
sprung by a man alleged to hold a pair
of Jacks was that of Al. E. Herrnstein,
coach of Ohio State University. Mich
igan, the mighty team that has always
been said to be the greatest football
machine In the west, could not cross
the goal line of Ohio State University
Saturday. Yost's men beat Herrn-
STEMS team to 0. The points were
made on field goal and safety, after
the game was almost over.
Herrnstefn coached Haskell in 1903
and 1904. His team beat Nebraska
here in 1904. All football critics who
saw his splendid work pronounced
him a conner. He was picked to coach
Nebraska this year, but accepted the
position at Ohio because he would
have chance to play his team against
that of his alma mater, Michigan.
Herrnstein coached Purdue last sea-
son and his men gave Chicago the
toughest fight the Boilermakers have
given Stages men for years. The old
Michigan halfback, who sells nails and
shotguns in Chillicothe, O., for eight
months in the year, is the most prom
Using football coach in the business at
present. II Yost ever gives out and q
western man is chosen to fill his place,
AL. E. Herrnstein will probably be the
man.

cold. OF course. there is no disputing
the fact that IL merit counted Joe Cans
Is the man to hold the championship,
for there Is no doubt that he can lick
all the welterweights and most of the
middleweights now walking in shoe
leather.
Los Angeles, CAL, Oct. 27.-With the
Abe Attell-HarTy Baker fight only q
few days of the sporting world is be-
ginning to take notice and betting on
the event is taking form.
Very few of the old timers give the
clever ex-amateur a look-in for the
purse, although his first out, when he
beat frankie Neil, makes him look
pretty good. Baker is undoubtedly one
of the cleverest boys that ever stepped
into the squared circle in Los Angeles.
He has all the earmarks Of coming
greatness, and the critics are blaming
his managers for booking him against
a man who is the trickiest, cleverest
little fighter ever seen here. Attell
has 1t on all the boys anywhere near
his weight and can take on the light
weights as easily as he can the feath-
erweights. At 1872 pounds he fights
strong and fast as a flash of lubri-
Gated lightning. At 1873 pounds he
runs rings around every fighter in the
class with the possible exception of
Joe Cans, who has never hooked up
with the San Francisco Jew.
None Of the good boys in the light
weight class really care for Abe's
game. He went around Bat Nelson
like a proverbial cooper around bar
rel and made Bat look foolish when
they hitched up in Philadelphia, and
so 1t has been with every other fight
he has had. When he took on Kid
Herman here it was thought that the
clever Grotto champion from Chicago
would make Attell back up, but he
didn't. Attell outfonght, outboxed and
outslugged Herman all the way.
Harry Baker will have the hardest
time in his fighting career in trying
to locate Abe.
Harry has fought all the clever anna
teurs and frankie Neil, but there is no
denying that the Neil beaten by Baker
was not the Neil Of old. frankie has
hit the toboggan and is going down at
regulation toboggan gait. Baker just
gave him an added push.
Attell is an overwhelming favorite
with the wise men, and what backing
Baker has comes from his Olympic
club following in San Francisco. At
tell Is to 3 shot here.

Turf Notes
Bx,1. L. Hervey.

OF the light harness performers con-
spicuous during the season just clos
ing, none has of late been the subject
Of more comment than the trotting
mare Van Zant, winner of the 2:1O
class week before last at Lexington.
This mare Is now 16 years old, and,
Goldsmith maid alone excepted, trot-
ting history shows nothing approach
Ing parallel of her career. The
Maid was the first 2:15 trotter, and her
best record-which stood as the worlds
for years-was 2:14, which she made
when II years old. This she repeated
two years later, when 19, and the next
year celebrated her twentieth birth
day by trotting mile in 2:14 IL.
But Goldsmith Maid ran unbrOken
until eight years of age and did not
appear on the turf until she was nine.
She was fully matured before her
speed was developed, which gave her
soundness of wind and limbs that
was practically time-defying-for
when she was finally retired, at the
age of 81, she was still sound.
The conditions which produced and
surrounded Goldsmith Maid are part
Of the past, and none of them have
marked the history of Van Zandt, save
the unprecedented wearing quality
which they have both possessed in
common.
Then came the wini-up at Lexing-
ton. There, the second week, she
started in the 2:09 trot, won a heat
in 200 IA and second money and lost
the second heat by a head only to w.
]. Lewis in 2:07 3-4. With but days
rest she came out again and won the
2:10 trot. taking the last three of five
heats in 2:10, 2:10 and 2:09:
In her way Van Zandt is certainly
one of the most wonderful trotters
ever seen. At 16 years she cannot
only trot mile much faster than
ever before, but she can sprint quar-
ter close to 2-minute gait, and can
take the track in almost any COM
pany.
Individually she Is small bay mare,
little, ii any, over fifteen hands, low
headed. busy gated and hearty as
bear, being such big feeder that she
has to be bedded on shavings to keep
her from gormandizing. She is also
very notional, and nobody but Dev-
ereaux can do anything with her. For
him she will do anything.

Billiards

The billiard championship of the
world lies between those two sensa-
tional performers, Willie Hoppe, Of
New York, who has vanQuished all the
other experts at the 1871 style of play
and now seeks to win the 1872 emblem,
and George Sutton, of Chicago, who
has just wrested the 1872 title from
George Slosson.
Hoppe and Sutton are now In q
class by themselves so far as modern
billiards is concerned and the enthu-
siasts Of the entire country are look
ing forward eagerly to the time when
the two great experts shall meet in
a deciding struggle for the honors.
At 1871 Hoppe has shown his super
iority over all competitors, having now
defeated all the best in the game, in
GLIDING the formidable Vignaux, Slos-
son and schaefer.
At 1872 Sutton, by the fortune of an
early challenge, has taken the title
from Slosson, but Hoppe has beaten
the Chicagoan in tournament and feels
confident Of his ability to beat him in
match.
But there is one feature of the affair
that is calculated to alarm New York
ers just when the two greatest play
ers OF the age are to some together
to settle the championship-the rare
treat of seeing the contest may be de-
MED to the admirers Of the game In
this city.
Under the rules when a champion
is challenged he has the right to name
the place where the contest shall be
played, and as Sutton Is resident of
Chicago the indications are that when
he formally accepts the challenge he
will name his city as the place where
the contest shall take place.
This gave the young man an idea
and he posted forfeit and challenged
the winner Of Thursday nights match
before the contestants had gotten
through with their practice. This as
sured him Of the next chance at the
title and as Sutton must accept or for
felt there Is small doubt of there being
a match.
There is hardly doubt the game
will bring out some of the greatest
playing ever seen on a billiard table.
Sutton is noted for his great runs,
having piled 1884 in the New York tour
nament last winter and 202 in the
game with slosson Thursday night.
He also holds the champion average,
having run 500 points in five innings
in the New York tournament. He also
made an average of SO In the Chicago
tournament.
But Hoppe has the record run at
1872. having gathered up the tidy clus-
ter OF 307 buttons in his game with
Schaefer in the Chicago tournament,
in which the young man was win
ner. Therefore it can be seen that
the youth can pile up the buttons as
we'll, IL not better. than Sutton, and
If both are in scoring humor on the
night Of the game there should be
some brillias.:. pyrotechnics.

should he be expected to do so?
Last week also we have the first
instance of q man holding a title los
ing it and then regaining it. Billy
Melody turned this trick, at which so
many fighters have failed, by defeating
Joe Walcott at Boston Tuesday night.
True, Melody only gained deci-
sion, but he beat Walcott so far that
there was no doubt about it. Melody
laid the claim to and was acknowl-
edged to hold the welterweight cham
pionship when, after the accident
which seemed to forever bar Walcott
from the ring, defeated Jack O'Keefe
in a ten-round battle out at Blue Is-
land. He lost the title soon afterward
by coming in contact with Buddy Ry-
ans one-two punch at Harlem. Then
Buddy went west and was licked by
Jimmy Gardner, the title passing.
Gardner fell before Mike (Twin) Sulli-
van and then Joe Cans took the wreath
away from Sullivan.
But when Walcott came to life and
fought several good fights he was re-
