WONDERFUL ST. PETERS.
Superb Cathedral at Rome Scene of
an Anarchist Outrage.

Superb Cathedral at Rome Scene of
an Anarchist Outrage.
The recent explosion Of an anarch-
lists bomb In the basilica of st. Peters
at Rome recalls the fact that, while
this is the first time the enemies OF
society have made demonstration
against religion, as symbolized by the
great edifice, it Is not the first time
that the Cathedral has felt the effects
of an explosion. This bomb caused no
material damage, but when, In May,
1891, a powder magazine In the neigh
borhood blew up, a window In st
Peters over the immense bronze orna-
mentations which envelop st. Peters
Episcopal chair was shattered and the
great cathedral itself trembled from the
shock.
st. Peters Is probably the largest
building in the world. Certainly no
other church equals its enormous pro-
portions, the result Of centuries OF
growth. It Is q treasure house Of &C.
clesiastical art, containing, as it does,
some Of the most remarkable sculpture,
bronzes and mosaics In the world As
a piece Of architecture, in spite Of some
discordant and disproportionate ele-
ments which have crept into the de-
sign, owing to additions made from
time to time, the immense building Inn
presses the beholder in a manner en-
tirely different from that made by any
other edifice in the world. It's very d.

high altar, and 148 massive columns
support the roof. Up to the end OF
the seventeenth century the church had
cost upward Of $5O,OOO,O 900, but this sum
does not include the approach to the
colonnades around the square In front
Of the edifice, nor does 1t include the
new sacristy erected by Plus VI at q
cost Of 100000. The colonnades cost
100000 and the pavement in the
square $4,000. The annual expense Of
keeping st. Peters in order, including
attendance, ETC.. Is about $4,000.
Figures such as these may be re-
carded as very materialistic, yet even
in a worldly and material way the vast
church Is imposing.

Seattle, Jan. 22-The Washington
Logging and Brokerage Company,
composed Of 80 per cent Of the loggers
OF Puget sound, have announced an
advance of an average Of 81 per thou
sand feet for logs, including ar and
cedar.
Despite the assurances Of the log
gers that there is the extra demand for
lumber to sustain the increase, many
small manufacturers complain bitter
", declaring that they will have to
close down on account of the advance.
They say that British Columbia lum-
Der has been able to absorb the tariff,
and that the advance will glut the
market, citing San Francisco's en-
barge against lumber as an instance.

CONDUIT ROAD SUPERVISION

Provision for Protection of United
States Property Pending Deci-
sion in Test Case.

Maj. Cosby. the engineer officer in charge
of the Washington aqueduct. of which the
Conduit road Is an auxiliary, has made ar
rangements for the protection of the prop
erty and interests Of the United States
government along the line of that road in
the state Of Maryland, pending the settle
ment Of the test case involving the Ques-
lions Of Jurisdiction over that road, includ-
ing Of course, the short stretch through
the small village Of Glen Echo. To that
end he has asked the proper authorities of
the Department of Justice to clOthe the two
regular watchmen employed along the
Maryland part of the road with the duties
and powers of deputy marshals. and also to
appoint as a deputy marshal Amos s. jack
son Of this city. who has been engaged by
Maj. Cosby to patrol the Conduit road from
the District line to Great Falls for the pur-
pose Of protecting the property of the gov
eminent and preserving the peace.
One Of the watchmen will be stationed
at Great Falls, and the other at the Dale
carlia, or receiving reservoir, while Deputy
Marshal Jackson will traverse the road be-
tween those points at regular intervals.
using motorcycle as a means of trans
portation.
Maj. Cosby expects in that way to pre-
serve peace and good order along the
Maryland part of the road regardless of
the action of the authorities of Maryland
or Glen Echo, and to prevent racing or ex-
cessive speed on the part of automobiles.
Principal Duty.
Maj. Cosby says that Deputy Marshal
Jackson's principal duty will be to prevent
the overspeeding of automobiles and disor-
derl-- conduct of all kinds, but that in what
ever he may be called upon to do he must
be careful to avoid any conflict with the
authorities of the state of Maryland. In
reply to the specific inquiry as to what
might be considered excessive speed on
the Conduit road under the new regime,
Maj. Cosby said that the speed laws of the
District Of Columbia will govern on the
Conduit road for the present or until per-
manent rules are made after the question
of jurisdiction is finally settled by the
courts. The rate of speed allowed on coun-
try roads in the District is twenty miles
an hour, and that will be the maximum
rate allowed on the Conduit road by the
United States officers when they are APP

gineer Corps of the army and is now a res
ident of this city. He is said to be a man
