excellent stock for this season of the year.
About 5000 bushels of the bivalves are on
hand. and they are selling at prices rang
ing from so cents up to so cents and 81

Makes Charge Of Libel.

Libel was the charge which was filed in
the Police Court yesterday against Glenn
ent r. Swain by Charles A Berry, son of
former banker of Georgetown. The trial
of the case was continued until Octo-
Der 20.
According to allegations filed today,
Berry was the collector for local de-
partment store of which Swain was a
customer. Berry was sent to collect a
bill which the store had against Swain.
The day after Berry called at the office
of Mr.. Swain at 7th and K streets south
west, it is alleged, Swain wrote a letter
to the department store in which he made
derOgatory statements regarding the COL
lector's conduct while he was in Mr.
SWANS store. On the strength of the
letter, 1t is stated, the department store
discharged Berry.

James ]. Waters. representing the engi-
neers' organization, declares that no en-
gineers have quit work except such as

RIGID ECONOMY URGED.
Special Order Issued to Commanders
of Fleets.

Owing to the heavy expenses incident
10 the proposed cruise Of the battleship
fleet to the Pacific, the Secretary of the
Navy has felt compelled to order the most
rigid economy in future naval expendi-
lures. In a special order just issued he
says:
"Commanders-in-ch of fleets, COM
handing officers of squadrons and naval
vessels, commandments OF navy yards and
naval stations, and all others concerned
are hereby enjoined to exercise the most
rigid economy in the expend ture of coal
and other fuel purchased for ships of the
navy and in the expenditure of funds
under the appropriation Coal and trans
portation.' This action is rendered neces-
sary owing to the scarcity of funds under
the bureau Of equipment for the purchase
and handling of coal and other fuel and
the conditions existing in the coal trade
whereby the available supply for the gov
ernmeht has become materially reduced"

GREAT BANK BUILDING
NOTABLE STRUCTURE BEING
PREPARED IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, October 1S.-The plans OF
the National City Bank for remodelins
the old custom house at Wall and Will
liams streets, in the heart of the finan-
cial district into gigantic banking house
have been outlined by Vice President
Frank A. Vanderlip.
The bank expects to gain possession
from the government not later than No
vember l, and the work of remodelng will
begin Immediately thereafter. The build
ing, ready for occupancy, will probably
be turned over to its new owners early
in the fall of 1905
The architects drawings. now in en-
bryonic form, provide for a main en-
trance of imposing proportions The great
columns of granite that have given tone
to the street for more than a genera ton
are to be kept intact, and no other
changes are to be made in the exterior
which would in any way change the gen.
eral architectural features of the struc.
ture.
However, the top story, which is twenty
years younger than the other parts of the
building, Is to be removed and four new
stories added In its place. These viii be
constructed in exact conformity with the
plans of the original architect.
Some Details.
The distinctive feature of the new home
Of the National City is to be the main
banking room, occupying the center space
formerly used by custom house clerks and
brokers for the entry of merchandise, and
in addition practically all Of the block
wide remodeled ground floor of the
building. No ornate fixtures are to be in
stalled, but instead every detail is to be
worked out in ma rhle In harmony Wi n
the tone of the building. When COM
pleted no other banking room in the world
will approach this one in size and in con-
venience and location.
1t Is a matter of common knowledge
that the ambition of the National City
Bank Is for closer relations with the
United States government, and that for
fruition of the hopes Of its officers and
directors dependence Is placed in the SEN
timent for currency reform legislation
which might result in the establishment
of a great central bank on the lines of
the banks Of England and France.

Mail on the Lusitania

Although the United States will con-
tinue to pay a gratuity of 81 a mile to
it's subsidized steamship company, the
American line, mail will be sent on the
Lusitania, at 80 cents a pound, amount
ing to about 5000 a voyage. The sec
ond assistant postmaster general, James
I. McCleary. has decided on this course
because of the speed of the new Cunard-
er turbine, and the preference will be
exte nded to her sister ship, the Mauri-
tania, when she begins her voyages.
