in field sports at Cambridge Saturday.
 Much interest is evidenced In the ne- gotiations now going on between liar on this side of the Atlantic during the summer with the Oxford and Cam bridge teams and the hope Is every where expressed that the Englishmen can be induced to come over.
 The English turf will again see Rich ard Croker's stable on the famous track this season. Croker has sent string orby, grandson of Flying Fox. who won the derby in 1899 at it's head. With this horse, MT. Croker hopes to land the much-coveted derby this year. the continent that w. K. Vanderbilt's star performer, Maintenon, has gone wrong and been relegated to the stud. Much of the SPAS. 900 won by the Van derbilt stable last year was brought home by this horse.
 Young Jay Gould. it is expected. will win the amateur court tennis cham don.
 Much interest has been aroused in pu- gilism since the arrival It San Francis co of the Austrian heavyweight. Will liam Squires. who comes with the high est reputation as a boxer of class.

Should he defeat the winner of that match. the Australian will ask Champion Jeffries to give him battle. and thus will occur a real international ring contest.

FANS ARE HOPEFUL
BIRMINGHAM GIVES GLAD HAND
 TO PLAYERS.
Report That Guy Woodruff Will he Secured is EncOuraging-Nash- vile and Little Rock Look
 Good to Dopfsts.

Birmingham, Aprfil .--(Specia1. ) Birmingham fans still have confidence in the Birmingham team and despite the position in, the league standing the belief is openly expressed that before long the team will begin show ing itself and will climb steadily.
 The team spent today in Birming- ham. but there were no explanations as to the present position in the standing. Manager Vaughn Is still confident that his players will work themselves into shape. The fans here are hopeful. to say the least, and while there is a little knocking on two or three of the players, as a whole there is confidence expressed. The team Is looked upon as an experienced team here.
 Rip Ragan, the pitcher, has had some knocks extended him during the week, but his game in Montgomery brought forth praise and the fans are ready to forgive him. Wilhelm and Clark both are being roasted a little today, but as soon as they get into another game the chances gre they, too, will be forgiven.
 Report that Guy Woodruff will be secured by Manager Vaughn is most encouraging news to the fans. Wood ruff is a good player, it is admitted. and can be placed in positions that are at present a little weak on the team, He Is some kin to Manager Vaughn and it is believed that the husky manager could get the best thereis in the player.
 Those who keep up with baseball in Birmingham say that when the team returns to the city there will be a steady patronage for the sport and the team will receive hearty welcome to home soil this week.
 Dope" artists In Birmingham are figuring the strength of the teams in the league. It appears to be a gen. eral belief in Birmingham that Nash vile and Little Rock have stronger teams than in the past four years, while Birmingham, Montgomery, At lanta are yet to develop.
 Despite some feeling held by the sporting writers in Birmingham against the New Orleans team, the opinion is expressed that Manager Frank will arrange his team so that there will be good showing made before the season has progressed too far,
 Memphis is looked upon also as contender for the pennant this year though the team has not had as many games as other cities.

MAKING WASHINGTON
 THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
Plans for Many Handsome Buildings Are Under Way and Fine Structure for Members of
 Congress is Progressing.

the members of the House voted them selves clerks, called secretaries in the more high sounding sense, though the young men would be prouder or the latter title should their pay be raised
 On account of being a solid Demo- cratic delegation and therefore In the minority not one of the Alabama mem- bers is chairman of committee. True they have nearly all had fleading com tmittee assignments, but 1t can be read fly understood that while the House is in session If an Alabamian finds a Hull In the proceedings and would like to dictate to his secretary he would be apt to find a half dozen other mern- hers in the committed room engaged In the same work, and it would be ai- most as noisy as in the operating room of a telegraph office.
 Under existing circumstances a conn mittee room is practically the private office of the chairman, and the other members have to hie themselves of to their hotels, residences or private of fees quite a number have been com pelled to rent at their own expense in order to attend to the wants of constit- uents. But all this will be changed when the Senate and House office build ings are completed. Telephones and signals will connect all the offices with the Senate and House, and devices will uOuDticSS Uc ou cO ftudb G ooh- ator or Representative can even hear from his room what is going on while measures are being discussed.
 There will be underground electric railways which will carry the Senators and Representatives to the Capitol in the event of roll call. Although these grand buildings are going to cost Uncle Sam so much they will be worth the money expended, for it will enable the lawmakers to better attend to the wants of their constituents, and at the same time 1t will not be so wearing upon the Senators and Rep resentaives.
 According to Seniority.
 When the office buildings are com pleted the desirable floors and rooms will be assigned according to seniority of service. And of course Capt. Rich mond Pearson Hobson win not get as accessible quarters as will fall to the lot of the older members of the House delegation like ,Messrs. Wiley, Under- wood. Clayton. Richardson, Taylor and Burnett.
 The prospect of having such fine office building for the members of the House appears to have filled a number of young men with ambition to get into Congress, if all the reports which reach Washington be true. Then, too, that raise in salary Is another incent- i've And, by the way. the most care- ful inquiry fails>to bring to the light the name of any member who has fail ed to receive the additional compensa- tion. Not one refused to sign the pay roll according to what the disbursing officer of the House says. It really was not expected that a member. even though he voted against the raise. would decline to put in his pocket money that was pushed in his face in spite of his protest" as Congress man Tom Hefiin expressed it the day he was counted in the negative.

ny A. T. STOPPER.

Washington, April 2S.--(Special. IA wonderful amount of building IS goins on here outside of what the general government is doing
 Within the next ten years the cap ital will surely be the most attractive residence city in the United States. |. The movement started here about twelve months ago to make Washing ion a tobbing and manufacturing cen- ire. in order that much of the South- ern trade might be captured. appears to have fzzled. At the time 1t was looked upon by most men or Juos- ment as ar idle dream.

 Banks and trust companies are put t,no m some of the finest structures now in course of erection. Ana II IS astonishing how rapidly these me buildings are constructed as compareo with the laTR6T anu ctAt4 AAAaNt
 dered by the Government. That IS pc cause private parties are doing the work for the banks and trust compa- nies. and the contracts are pushed wlth vieor Take for instance the new mar ble building for the District or Co- Iumbta. They have been nearly hVe wears on that structure. and 1t IS not yet under roof. and the chances are it will be many months yet before the interior is finished. It is the same way with the big and costly buildings which are to be used as othces TOT Senators and Representatives AL the present rate of progress 1t IS haroly probable that they will be completed by the end of the Sixtieth congress which will be March 4. lsVS'
 Thought it Extravasant.
 Not long ago Virginia farmer on coming out of the Library of Congress noticed the work going on and asked; 'Can you tell me what that building when completed will be used for?" He was told that the members or the House would have offices in it.
 "Is that not a piece of great ex- trayagance?" was the farmers next well" was the reply. "the building and ground will cost something like S4. 900 900, to say nothing of the fur nishings. And. of course, the latter will be elegant"
 .eRut cannot see the use of such extravaeance," insisted the Old Do- minion farmer Tt seems to me there is enough room in the Capitol for the members of Congress"
 It was further explained to the far mer that the capitol is so cramped that hardly enough space Is available for the necessary committee rooms. much less afford Senators and Representa- tives rooms in which they can attend to their correspondence.
