MEMORIAL TO LINCOLN
CONGRESS- LEADERS PLAN
GREAT MONUMENT.
Whole Cost of Project About s5,-
OOO,OOO-TO BE Erected in
Uashing gtOn.

Washington, Jan S-The leaders in Congress
propose to mark the anniversary Of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln by the passage of legislation
providing for a great monument to be erected
IN Washington in memory of the Emancipator.
The bill has already been drafted and has the
approval of the leaders of both House and Sen
ate. 1t contempates the expenditure Of about
s5.o000OO and the working out of a memorial
project which will easily be the most ambitious
and important in the national capital. Action
will be taken the measure in the House next
Monday, and it IS expected that it will pass the
Senate soon afterward. for it is the plan of the
projectors to have the President sign the bill
on Lncoln's Birthday. February 12
The memorial itself will cost 81 100000 1t is
proposed to locate it in the centre OF a large
park space between the Capitol and the new
Union station The bill has been drawn by
Representative Mccall of Massachusetts. and
before its provisions can be met it will be nee
essary to buy about thirty-six acres of ground,
which several blocks of substantial
brick houses. The bill as drawn UP carries
S3,23o6O as the purchase price OF this land
which will be added to the present Capitol
grounds and retained under the control of Con
gress. The requirement of the land and the
erection of the memorial will be under the con-
troll of commission composed OF the Vice
President. the Speaker and the Superintendent
of the Capitol, Elliott Woods
No attempt is made in the bill to determine
the form which the memorial will take. This
matter will be placed in the hands of artists and
architects to be consulted by the committee. 1t
Is understood. however that arch of gigantic
size is contemplated by those who have the plan
in hand. It Is agreed. however. that for $1,000,
600 the most pretentous memorial n the coun-
try can be raised, and it IS known that no
money will be spared and that there will be con-
sultation with the greatest architects in the
world
The only objection thus Ear raised to the pro
posed memorial is that il will dwarf the great
marble station. which is a source OF pride
TO the residents Of Washington. 1t is also urged
that II will make comparisons odious between it
and the Columbia Memorial Fountain In front Of
the Union Station, for which appropriations
have been made and on which sculptural work
Is soon To be begun. These objections are met
by the assertion that the grounds of the Capitol
are TO be so enlarged that there VIII he ample
space for the memorial TO stand out alone, with
no interference with other buildings. The loca
tion is on a part OF the highest ground in Wash
ington and at the very gateway Of The city.

FEARS WILES OF L. S.
Reciprocity Means absorption of
Canada, "Daily Nails" UarHing.

London, Jan. s.-American affairs receive
prominence in this mornings newspapers, and
especial attention is paid TO the conflict between
President Roosevelt and Congress.
The Daily Mail" under the caption Amer
ica's Bid for Canada" says it is convinced II a
treaty of reciprocity is made between Canada
and the United States it will involve nothing
less than the gradual absorption of Canada by
the United States and END all of the noble
dreams and aspirations in which the largest
minds of our race have indulged.'
The newspaper appeals to Canadian patriotism
to have further patience. 1t says the period OF
suspense is fast drawing to close and that the
imposing structure of free trade is receiving a
succession of shocks that will soon leave the
way clear for a closer commercial union OF the
colonies with the mother country.
THE Daily Telegraph in an editorial on
Chinese affairs. thinks that the agreement be-
tween the United States and Japan was far
more significant than the dismissal of Yuan
Shih Kai.

MINISTER NOT KILLED.
-Man Murdered in Church Vas His
Close Friend. q CarDenfer

Port Huron. Mich. Jan. S-By means Of two
false teeth found in the sifted ashes taken from
the two stoves, 1t was definitely established this
AFTERNOON that Gideon Browning a carpenter of
Aualr village was the man who was butch
cred last Tuesday evening in the little Rattle
Run Methodist Church In Columbus Township
The supervisors of ST Clair County imn7edi-
ately offered a reward of 500 for the arrest of
the Rev. John H. Carmichael of Adafr pastor
OF the church, who was at first supposed to have
been killed, dismembered and then burned in
the church stoves
Strenuous efforts TO discover some motive for
the Staying of the carpenter by the minister
were fruitless to-day. Rumors that Carmichael
had been seen crossing St. Clair County into
Canada could not be oorroborated
statement to-day by Mrs. Carmichael that
her husbands sister is an inmate of an insane
asylum In West Virginia may explain some Of
the horrible features of the crime If the author
tiles suspicious about Carmichael are borne out.
Mrs. Carmichael also said that her husband was
moody and restless the night before he disap-
peared and apparently brooding over some
thing.
1t learned to-day that on Monday the
day before the murder. Carmichael came to the
postoffice in Adair. apparently much agitated
and perturbed. and received letter which he
took away without opening. 1t Is thought that
this letter, may have had some connection with
the strange intimacy between the minister and
Carpenter. which had been noticed for num-
her of weeks before their joint disappearance
and the crime in the church.
Detroit. Mich. Jan. Sit became known to-
night that the Rev J. H. Carmichael completed
the writing of Il novel the day before the trag-
edy at Rattle Run. The manuscript mailed
TO the Rev. Charles W. Baldwin. OF Detroit. who
tonight admitted that he had received it on
Tuesday last the day of the murder. In a let
ter accompanying the manuscript the Rev. Mr..
Carmichael explained that II a sequel TO a
story entitled The Blazed Mil Creek which
the country minister sent II his brother clergy
men in this city several months ago.
A slight glimpse into the Rev. Mr.. Carmichael :
productions tended to produce the impression that
the work showed morbid frame of mind. One
chapter opens with a description Of old
miner. who had lost his eyesight, an arm and a
leg IN accidents in the mines. The miner asks
himself why these terrible injuries should he in
ficted upon him. a we'll meaning and innocent
man.
Another chapter opens with two convicts tell
ing freely Of crimes they committed and knew
others 10 commit. In this case. also. time was
not allowed by the Rev. Mr.. Baldwin TO see
whether the author sympathzed with the point
of view OF the criminals or not.
The writings show vigorous and even pol
ished style. and the manuscripts display
cramped handwriting.
