UPTOWN p. o. SITE.
Plan for One at p. X. X. Terminal
MAJ Be abandoned.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau


Washington, Feb. 21.-Postmaster General
proposed deed TO acquire uptown postoface
in New-York for the reasons given IN his annual
report, the Postof1ce Department has nearly
finished the preparation OF plan which, II car
ried out. may mean the abandonment OF the
Pennsylvania site.
The plan is designed to meet the future needs
of New-York's postal service with a View 10
locating the main postoffice that sub-stations
may be connected by a completes and convenient
pneumatic tube service. Until II Is known
whether Congress will authorize the extension
OF this pneumatic tube service the plan cannot
be perfected No intimation is given az the
department of the location OF the proposed site
II the department should decide that the one
recommended by the commission OF Congress
at the PENNSYLVANIA terminal is not desirable.
A site further east has been suggested. Legal
officers OF the department maintain that the
recommendation OF the commission appointed by
Congress TO investigate the subject was per
missivs" and not mandatory" that the
Postmaster General In his discretion may refuse
TO approve the acquisition OF the Pennsylvania
property. Mr.. Corteyou has not admitted that
he seriously objects 10 the Pennsylvania SITE but
in his annual report he said the question needed
investigation, and in his opinion certain modin-
cations Of the original plan were necessary.
Postmaster Wilcox is said to be not altogether
in favor OF the railroad site. The amount ap-
propriated for the purchase or the pennsylvania
property is S1.7Oo.Ooo Mr.. WILCOX was In
WASHINGTON to-day comforting about the needs
OF the New-York Office. but said he did not talk
about the Pennsylvania site He returned TO
New-YOrk at midnight

That my wife has been confined to her bed six
weeks from the shock and injuries OF this damna-

DEWEY TWICE ADRIFT.
Big Dock an Bad Weather-PartS of
Engine Needed.

Washington. Feb. 21.-Ofcial news regarding
ment to-day in the following cable message from
Commander Hosey, commanding the Glacier:
U S. s. Glacier, at sea- per L. S. S. Potomac.
Las Palmas, Canares
Bureau Navigation, Washington: Latitude %

grees. 10 minutes, west, on February II. WH
coal at Grand Canary, Canary Islands. En-
countered very bad weather latter part OF voy-
age. Dock adrift twice. Have been proceeding
cautiously. The Brutus towing machine dam
aged. There is great necessity for extra part OF
engine.
The date given in Commander Hosley's dis
patch places the dock between four hundred and
fifty and five hundred miles west of the Canaries.
If he intends to bring the dock into the road
stead at Grand Canary he should reach that port
IN the course of two or three days, provided good
weather prevails. Owing TO the great difficulty
of handling the massive anchors attached to the
dock the officials here inclined TO believe
that ne will slowly past Las PaImas. de-
taching one ship after another at that point to
be coaled
The spare engine parts referred TO as being
badly needed were. fortunately, described 10 the
Navy Department by Commander Hosley in al
most the last wireless dispatch he was able TO
send These parts have been sent TO Naples by
merchant steamer. and the Tacoma has just
picked them up and is about to proceed west

that the repairs to the engines can be made with
out serious delay. Las Palmas is about nine
hundred miles from Gibraltar. and if the Ia
coma starts Immediately from Naples she should
meet the expedition early next week. In case of
need she will also be able 10 render some assist

DISCUSS DIVORCE AGAIN.
IUely Session of the Congress on
Uniform LazCS.

Washington. Feb 21.-The congress on uni
form divorce laws to-day discussed the report
of the committee on resolutions, submitted yes
terday, embracing various recommendations re-
garding marriage and divorce. II decided
by q considerable majority of the delegates that
not less than two years residence should be re-
Quired the part of a plaintiff who has changed
his or her State domicie since the cause Of di-
vorce arose. where Jurisdiction depends the
residence Of the plaintiff This feature Of the
port was not adopted until after much debate.
warm discussion was precipitated over the
following section Of the report:
An innocent and injured party. husband or
wife, seeking divorce should not be compelled
10 ask for dissolution Of the bonds of matri-
mony, but should be allowed at his or her OPP
ton to apply for divorce from bed and board
Therefore divorces a mensa should be retained
where already existing and provided for in States
where no such rights exist.
The proposition was vigorously opposed by DR.
Henry c. Winton. of Trenton, N J., who main
tanned that separation should not be granted. as
it might tend to bring about a wrongful mode
Of life. His argument was combated by Chair
man Smith of the committee. who asserted his
belief that DR.. Winton placed human nature on
too low plane.
Mr.. Smith declared that the authority Of the
committee and the Roman Catholic Church
should be respected in passing judgment on this
question, to which the Rev. Caroline B. Crane
Of Kalamazoo Mich. took exception she re-
marking that the Church has right to dis
cipline its own members, but should not force
its views on this congress" A general debate
followed.
A number Of women left the room when Miss
Fanny Leake Cummings, of the State of Wash
ington declared that the resolution would put
q premium on vice, and produced statistics in
support Of her argument. The resolution was
finally adopted with amendment allowing
the innocent party TO apply for divorce at any
time
The congress unanimously adopted the resO-
luton providing for the classification of causes
for divorce into certain groups that would be
approved by common consent of all communi-
Ties represented in the congress- or substan-
TALLY
Causes for divorce both ante-nuptial and
post-nuptial were discussed after attempt
had been made to strike out the entire list
the ground that such list might do injustice
to some States
The congress expressed itself in favor of hav
ing all hearings and trials In divorce cases in
open court II was declared that public hear
fngS would have tendency TO do away with
collision between parties TO a suit for divorce
and that publicity would decrease applications
nv people who would shun publicity.
The resolution specifying the causes for di-
vorca was finally adopted though in consid
erably modified form

HARLAN HOTEL CLOSES
Building Erected by Former Iowa
Senator Is Dark.

Mt. Pleasant, Oct. 13.-The Harlan
house, known to Iowa travelling men
for over half century, has closed it's
doors. 1t has fallen a victim to it's
younger competitor, the Brazelton
hotel. A deal was closed between Den
mis- Moroney. present owner of the
Harlan house, and E. K Stall, proprie-
tor of the Brazelton, whereby the his
toric old hosiery will be discontinued
as place of public entertainment. Mr..
Moroney may turn it into a hospital.
The Harlan is good substantial
brick building which has borne up
well under the wear and tear of fifty
years. 1t is still one of the largest
buildings here. Since the death of SEN
ator Harlan it has had hard struggle
for existence as a hotel, and has
changed hands several times. The
building was erected by Jas. Harlan,
who was elected to the Unitel States
senate In 1856, and was the third man
to be chosen to represent Iowa in that
body.
