The Spokane, Portland & Seattle
X. X. has submitted the plans TO the
City Engineer for three steel via
ducts TO bridge the cut made by the
railroad company through the PENN
sula. and they are now being checked
over by the city officials. II is very
probable that they will be accepted,
subject to some minor changes as
suggested by the department. The
plans submitted are for a 29O-foot
bridge at Dawson street, with two
towers and a clear span so feet In
length between the base Of the tow
ers and 60 feet above the level Of
the track. The bridge at South
Depot street will be 1888 feet in
length and the one crossing at Will
annette Boulevard which will carry
the car track will be similar to the
one at Dawson street. There will
be two 16-foot cement sidewalks on
each side OF the bridges. with a
4O-foot roadway. having concrete
base and a good hard surface pave
ment. Work will be commenced as
soon as possible after the plans
are accepted.

UNCLE SAM TO DINE
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

Washington, Dec. 19.-Every soldier
and sailor in the service of the United
States will celebrate Christmas at the
expense of the Government.
This year the Government will give
the 1900 sailors Of the Atlantic bait
tleship feet, which Is q large percent
age of those in the service, an unusu-
ally fine spread at New York.
Last year the fishes enjoyed the din
ner designed FOR the sailors. The Navy
Department had sent out aboard the
ocean steamer Republic q large guam
tity OF eranberries nuts, apples, tur-
keys and other CHRISTMAS dainties
valued at esf.i9l, forxhe8 baz&a eshirg9e ei
at Gibraltar, then onsits efufse around
the world. The Republic sank after a
collision and 50 did the Christmas dim
ners.
A policy has been adopted IN the
navy of taking the blue Jackets peri
odicaiiy to some big port. where they
may enjoy life to the fullest. The
British navy onicials claim to have dis.
covered that after such periods OF HI
larity the sailor is more contented at
sea. They will be started OF ON their
holidays by a big Christmas dinner, in
GLIDING oyster cocktails. roast turkey.
cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, ice
cream. assorted fruits and nuts. cof-

In the army special dinners will be
served at the various garrisons and

OBJECT TO
CANAL REORGANIZATION

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Mann bill
for the reorganization of the govern
ment of the Panama canal zone. which
was reported favorably by the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. and was before the House
during the latter part of last week.
will meet with opposition In the form
of a minority report by three Demo-
cratic members of the Committee
which reported the bill.
Representative Richardson (Ala.) ID
drafting a report which will be signed
by himself and Representatives Bart
lett (Ga.), and Peters (Mass.) and pre-
scented In the House some time before
the measure comes up for final actio..
1t is improbable that the opposition
of the minority members of the COM
mittes will cause more than ripple
but this fact does not diminish the
ardor of Representative Richardson
and his associates.
The. objection to the Mann bill is
the placing of the Panama govern
ment in the hands of director-gen-
eral with unlimited power, as IL pro-
posed. IL a subversion of representa-
tive government The Directing DEM
ocratic members assert that the direc-
tor-general will have absolute execu-
tive, legislative, judicial and military
power over the zone, which Ia too
great a power for one individual I'M
der republican rule.
They claim also that the abolition
of the Panama court of three judges
and the substitution of court com
posed of a single judge from whose
decision there Is no appeal, except II
case of capital punishment or impris-
onment for life, is paving the way for
a tyrannIcal administration of justice.

wan VIII Protect Ears Of Hotel Guests.
New York, Dec. 1s.-(Special. For
the first time in the history of the
city of New York. plans for a sound
killer" have been filed with the build
ing department. The type of construc-
ton is absolutely new. 1t was made
necessary by the distress which the
guests OF a hotel suffered from the
noise of printing presses In the ad-
joining building.
The presses on the first floor OF the
building next to hotel have been dis
turbing the management and guests
for a long time. Finally 1t was decid-
cd to build wall, In the Intervening
court, to keep out the sound.
After. study of the tests that had
been made in the past, to determine
to what extent various materials con-
Quoted sound, the architect selected
the hollow spaces of the blocks with
for the wall. Then he decided to NIL
the hollo wspaces of the blocks with
mineral wood. This substance VIII
act as a muller together with the por-
Gus terra Gotta; 1t is expected to give
good protection to the ear drums of the
hotel guests. For the sake OF appear
ances. the wall has a surface coating
of cement.
