 ''The support of the entire coast has been given to Congressmen urging the building Of facilities for the care of fleet, appropriation for an additional naval base. and the improvement of Gremerton and Mare Island. The peo- pie of the coast are simply begging that these steps be taken"
 The actual anti-Japanese feeling is largely personal and arises for the most part from the agricultural dis Placards urging a public boycott of Japanese laundries appear on bill- boards in many coast cities.
 Whatever opposition remains to Rooseve elt's policy is found chiefly in labor organizations.
 It is understood that President Roosevelt will send a special message to Congress in a few days bearing on the California situation. Although the Presidents advices from Governor Gillette are said to have been quite encouraging, recent information he has received from other sources make it clear that the present agitation has a great public sentiment behind it in stead of being confined to agitators. Although nothing tangible in this line has yet appeared, a plan may be pro- posed whereby the California authori- ties may b eappealed to with a view of fully establishing whether Japan ese immigrants are still slipping into the country in large numbers along the Mexican and Canadian borders or securing evidence corroborative to that held by the government that more - ~s---
 try than are coming into the United States.

It is generally believed in City Hall circles that Mayor Lee will veto the
 compromise harbor line, as adopted by the Common Council at it's last meet ing. It is said that the Mayor has con-
 suited his personal counsel, Stiles
 Judson, and has been advised thata the law demands hearing precedent to valid condemnation proceedings. even though the charter omits to require a hearing. This question may be put
 up to the city attorney.
 The Mayor is said to be very much hurt at what he terms the discount eous treatment of the members of his party who would not sustain his views by voting Nor the government line. He is in it for a fight to the end. He ed more consideration from the Demo- crat:; of the council than from the Republicans. The Mayor asks no quarter and gives none. This is the condensed substance of his attitude to- ward Bullard, Gould Zink. OConnell, and Meyer, who voted for the compro- mise line.
 The attitude of the Republican re- calcitrants is as hostile as the May or's own. we ask no quarter of his honcr,'' said one of them this morn ing "We do not ask for quarter for OuES21FGS. w uO dsoh IOI QOdA lcI IO1 the Republican party, which is our party as much as it is his.
 We were well aware in advocating the compromise line that we would satisfy nobody. We obtained as much compromise as was possible at that time. To be perfectly frank about this matter. our purpose was less to pro- tect the harbor than to save the party. We regarded the mayors prolonged and intense efforts to procure the leg islation demanded by the railroad com- pany as highly injurious to Republican chances in the next city election. It IS we'll known that the people, because of the happenings of the last few years, are in an impatient frame of mind. The voters are sensitive about the en- croachment of certain business institu- tions upon the public domain Every thing has -conspired tQ make them sen- sitive. Roosevelt Is president. Taft is elected in a take advice from Teddy platform. Woodruff. one radical Re- publican governor, has been succeeded by another Republican governor elect ed on a program of opposition to the institutions Of which I speak. Bridge port has been, and remains. the seat Of a long standing agitation"
 "A great deal of illumination has been focused upon the harbor line. The eagerness of the mayor has not help ed the case any. All these things being so it was our idea that a slight change ia the line would give the railroad company everything it has asked for, except a mere fragment. We be- lieved, at the same time, that the pub lie mind would be attracted by the idea that a compromise had been eff fected and believing that it had been brought about by the Republican par ty, would not hold the party in it's en- tirety responsible for the tremendous efforts that have emanated from it to give our friends the enemy all that it demands.

Alderman Gould Points Out that Compromise Line Does Not Gut Off More of Wharf Than Does Gov ernment Line.
Republican Leaders Give Aldermen Bullard and Gould Credit for Heady Move Which Did More to Defeat the City's Line Than the Mayors Atti- tude.


 Bullard who led the fight for the com promise harbor line at the last meet ing of the board of aldermen are giv- ing those two city fathers much credit for a clever political dodge which will eventually prove that they played a header game for the defeat of the city harbor line than did Mayor Lee. The claim is made that Gould and Bul- lard have changed the issue of the en- tire question and to-day the public in general have lost sight of the main question of preserving the harbor for the future by arguing the relative conditions of the compromise and Fed eral lines. The two aldermen have line, and so far from the old city line that there is only a very small space between
 Mayor Lee finds fault with the com promise because it leaves it option al with the railroad whether the Nau- gatuck wharf is to be removed"
 Tt is too soon to say what the rail- road will do.'' said Alderman Could in speaking of the compromise line this morning. The alderman also called to the attention of the reporter that as far as the government line Is con- cerned the compromise coincides with it as to the wharf and that it is only to the south of the Naugatuck wharf that the new city line begins, to di- verge from the Government line and take in a triangular strip.
 Alderman Gould was of the opinion that it is probable that the govern ment will see to it that the part of the wharf which extends over the govern ment line will come down. The city in no case could force the railroad to remove the wharf unless it had the. right of eminent domain over the rail- road, and this it has not got and can not have until the General Assembly gives it to them.

DOWN MAY COME BUILDING
VALUES.

There does not seem to be any doubt
that The Little Wizard, Edison, has
practically completed his system of
moulds whereby houses and other
buildings will be poured, instead of
laborously built in the old fashioned
way, and that the era of the concrete
house, completed in few days, is at
hand.
For $1,000 a three story house, cast
in one solid block, containing living
room, IA by % feet, kitchen, IA by
20 feet, two bed rooms, IA by IS feet,
large hall and bath room, and two
bedrooms 10 by % feet, can be con-
structed. This is the claim that is
made, and it is said to be a demon
strable fact. Admitting that this is
the case what a tremendous drop may
be imminent in the values of existing
properties, in the frame and brick
dwelling particularly, costing any
where from $4,000 to $1,000, that
would be put into competition with
the new concrete houses. The latter
will be safer, free from the fear of
fire, less expensive in maintenance,
cooler in the summer and warmer in
the winter If house of seven or
eight rooms can be poured and turned
out completely ready for occupancy
for $1,000 the value of the standing
dwellings to-day will be cut down by
fifty to seventy-five per cent.
Edison declares that his plans will
give the poorest man in the country
the chance to have a far better home
than he now occupies, and that any
man in ordinary circumstances will be
able to own his own home, designed
on pretty models, and costing him but
small percentage of what frame
house costs for its keep up. This be-
ing the case rents must take a tumble,
incomes will be deprecated material
ly, and what is a blessing to the mass
es will work anything but favorably
for some of the public now owning
renting properties.
In order to carry out the Edison
plans it is said it will be necessary for
each community to have a company
organized with sufficient capital to
buy the molds and engage competent
men to carry on the work A house
can be turned out completed in two
weeks. The method of pouring is
quite simple and inexpensive After
the forms have been set in place and
bolted together the concrete will be
mixed in large rotary mixers and
| dumped into tanks placed on top of
the moulds. A number of pipes will
lead the mixture to various points in
the roof, whence it will flow down and
fill the moulds.

FLINT RIVER DOWN TO
THE LOW WATER MARK
Only Once Before In Many Years Has
Stream Been Low as Now.
{ Albany Herald.)

For the second time in a number
Of years, Flint River is at low water
mark. Should the present dry weather
continue for a few days longer
throughout the whole valley of the
Flint, a new low-water record will be
established, in all probability.
Such is the present stage of the
river that many persons are attracted
daily to the wagon bridge at the foot
of Broad street, from which the stream
can be viewed for considerable dis
lance north and south
The shallowest point in the river
from Albany to the Apalachicola is
just above the bridge. 1t has, since
Albany became town, been a bar to
navigation, and it would require an
| immense sum of money to clear it of
distractions,
At this point the water pours over a
succession OF rocky lodges extending
entirely across the river, and the spot
is one of great natural beauty when
| the stream is low During the present
stage of the water. which is about as
clear as it ever becomes, the rocks
over which it dashes churn it into
white spray, which eddies and curls
swiftly past. At many points the
rocky bottom is plainly visible, in spite
of the disturbed condition of the water,
and there are several points between
the Coast Line bridge and the wagon
| bridge where a man could wade from
bank to bank, if he could stand
| against the swift current.
There has been no rain in the valley
of the Flint for several weeks, and
the stream is supplied solely by
creeks, branches and springs which
continue to fow in spite of drought.
The river just above and below the
wagon bridge is now one of the
beauty spots of this section, and is
well worth a trip from any part of
the city for the privilege of viewing it.

Yes, progress everywhere
Great progress in discovery,
On land, by sea, by air!
The world is growing civilized,
Old methods pass away
(See news dispatch from New Orleans;
1.-TWO negroes lynched to-day!'O
Man fights his way through ice and
snow
To where the North Pole hides;
Man dares the elements above
And with the eagle rides,
Each step ahead improves the world,
Dark days come ne'er again
Despatch from Pittsburg: Fatal
wreck.
Road bandits ditch a train!'D
The heart of darkest Africa
Lies open to the eye;
No path remains a hidden book,
Millennium days are nigh.
Refinement reaches everywhere,
Gone barbarians away

Ate three white men to-day"
The brotherhood of man maintains
The old, dark days are past;
The world, enlightened, lifts her eyes
And sees the dawn at last,
Exceptions such as these prove naught
Though carpers cry amain-
But bark to this from Bryan's town:
They say he'll run again!"

The Macon Telegraph's story about
Hoke Smiths payment of $500 to L. N.
Trammell, when Trammell was a
member of the Georgia Railroad Com
mission, has had very depressing eff
feet in that political camp. In 1884, it
appears, Smith, acting as attorney for
the Marietta and North Georgia road,
paid Commissioner Trammell $500 to
bring about settlement of a case in
which the railroad was a party out
side of court. This digging up of of
fetal and undeniable records sgen-
orally unpleasant for somebody. The
Atlanta Journal should invoke the
statute of limitations at once.
