is AZ feet in diameter at the bottom
and the octagonal outer boundary 103
feet across flats at the footing level,
tapering to Ga and 81 foot diameters
at the top of the concrete. The foun-
dation was constructed of 1885 Stag
concrete. The sand and stone were
obtained from the smelter furnaces.
In the work of construction $500 bar.
rels of cement, 1000 cubic yards of
sand and 1000 cubic yards of Stag
were used; the cost of materials and
construction was in the neighborhood
of $4,000.
The chimney proper has an octa-
gonal base 46 feet high, with a taper
of 8 per cent. About this point the
section is circular, the first $50 feet
above the base having a taper of Z
per cent the next 100 feet per cent.
and the remaining $50 feet 2 per cent.
The chimney was built in twenty
three sections, nineteen of these are
above the octagonal base. The thick
ness of the chimney wall varies from
sc inches at the base to 1915 inches
at the top. The outside diameter at
the base is 7Sh feet and 5SA feet
at the base of the cap. The inside d.
ameter at the base is 661A feet; at the
top SO feet. In the base of the chin.
ney are four flue openings.

Establishment of Potomac park was
the beginning of improvement, and if
congress shall approve of the latest
plans, it will not be long before the
river front of Washington will be a
source of pride.
Commissioner Judsons plans in
clude the building of stone or concrete
docks in place Of the wooden struc-
lures and shanties that now mark the
busiest part of town. 1t is proposed
in time to have splendid driveway
and promenade, scheme which, it is
believed, will lead to the extension of
the city to the other side of the Po-
tomac. There is to be built recrea.
ton pier where the fish wharves now
are.
Potomac park itself was established
upon the flats, the elevation being
made with the mud and clay dredged
from the river when the channel was
deepened. This park is only the be-
ginning, and similar recreation places
will be established along the river
front now available for commercial
purposes. Along the upper Potomac,
too, it is proposed to make parks.
In the extensive river park system
contemplated provision will be made
for the benefit of Georgetown and
East Washington will have great
driveways and promenades. Here the
shores of the eastern branch of the
river are low-lying flats.

GRAVE DIGGERs FIRST CLASS TO
RETURN TO THEIR
OCCUPATIONS.
DISSINT|ON IN STRIKERS RANKS
Scarcity Of Food is Driving Many Of
the Men Back to Their Vacations
Still, at Public Meeting, the Strik-
ers Voted to Continue the
Struggle.

Stockholm, Sweden.-The tense sit
uation arising from the general strike
proclaimed few days ago seems to
be relaxing. The grave diggers re-
turned to work and dissension is ap-
parent in the ranks of the other strik-
ers. The employees of some of the
largest plants in Stockholm announce
that their men would return to work
Monday.
1t is reported that the central fed
GRAFTON of trades unions had request
ed the government to mediate in the
present crisis, but this is denied by
the chairman of the federation. M.
Won Sydow, president Of the employ
ers' association, declared that inter-
mination by the government would be
without result as the differences be-
tween the men and the employers,
were too great to be settled in such
a manner. The national labor union
published statement in the news
papers disappearing the strike of the
electric light and gas workers.
The dissensions in the ranks Of the
strikers, it is thought, may be of in
dication of not far distant collapse
of the movement. The strike leaders,
however seem determined that no
compromise shall be made and there
fore 1t is difficult to form judgment
on the progress of the movement or
how far the funds available will carry
the strike.
Food Too Scarce.
The increasing cost of living and
the difficulty of obtaining food is be-
ing felt and doubtless accounts for
the fact that large nursber of strik-
ers have returned to work.
Public opinion was too much for
the grave diggers and they were COM
PEELED to again take up their picks
and shovels. The employees of the
gas and electric works struck against
the advice Of the socialist leaders be-
cause they resented the presence of
troops protecting the plants.
Two hundred conscripts Of the regi,'
ments stationed at Falun made dem-s
onstration in sympathy with the strik-
ers, during whic hthey sang revolu-
tionary songs AS punishment they
were given hard drills.
The strikers held their first general
meeting in the woods north of Stock
holm and adopted resolution to
continue the strike until all the ques-
lions in, dispute shall have been let-
tied to the strikers satisfaction. 'she
strikers also issued a demand that
the railroad, postal telephone and tel
egraph employees and the printers join
the movement.
The meeting was peaceful. and
neither soldiers nor policemen, except
few detectives, were present. The
authorities, however, took the precau-
ton of watching the assemblage
through telescopes from captive bal
loon that was in telephone communi-
cation with military and police head
quarters
After singing the "Marsellaise" the
strikers dispersed to the woods and
had picnic lunch.
A dispatch from Gothenburf says
the street railroad employees Of that
city have Joined the movement.
