COLORING CON.
CRETE BLOCKS

one Of the serious objections to con-
crete blocks in the past has been their
dark gray appearance. This can be
overcome by using light colored sand,
or crushed stone and a white cement
which will give a light gray effect.
II pure white effect is desired then
white cement should be used, with
white sand or crushed stone mixed
with a little marble dust. 1t is very
difficult to obtain a coarse white sand,
although there are kinds which are
quite coarse. A fine white sand used
alone with cement will not make a
thoroughly waterproof facing.
In order to make such facing wa
terproof it is necessary to use a pro-
portion OF marble dust or crushed
stone with sand. Care must be TAX
en- not to use too much marble dust,
for If too much of this is used the fac
ing will check and show unsightly
cracks. For this reason marble dust
should never be used alone with ce-
ment Usually the checks and hair
cracks referred to will not show until
the blocks have aged several weeks
and even months. but eventually they
are bound to come.
The amount of marble dust to be
used should not be more than 1 J.;
/ parts of marble dust to 4 parts ol
/ white sand. II the facing is too ricf
! in cement, checks and hair cracks ar'
as apt to appear as when marble dus
I alone is used with cement. Very gooc
results can be obtained by using lime
stone screenings, from coarse to fine
which will pass a quarter-inch screen
but usually it is advantageous to us'
a little white sand with this as we'll
in order to produce smooth, dens'

SENATE IN SESSION,
HOLIDAY FORGOTTEN
Last Meeting on July 4 on
Day of Naval Victory
of Santiago.

The fact that the Senate is in session
today when the rest of the country is
celebrating the Fourth of July, calls
attention to the further fact that the
last time that body was in session July
4 was in 1898
That session was made noteworthy by
the reading in the Senate of a dispatch
telling of the victory of Santiago, in
which the American feet destroyed the
Spanish fleet.
In the midst Of the proceedings on
that day, Senator Frye of Maine, ad-
dressing the Chair, said;
There is very good news which It is
well for the Senate to hear"
Thereupon was read the dispatch sent
to the Secretary Of the Navy by Admiral
Sampson, saying the feet under my
command" destroyed the Spanish feet
The Record shows that applause in
the Senate and In the galleries greeted
the reading of the dispatch This is
one of the few times on record when
the Senate broke forth into applause.
Inquiry shows that the Senate has
been in session twelve times on the
Fourth of July From March 1. 1883,
to date, the Fourth has been on Sun
day six times. and, of course, there
was no session then.
When the Senate was in session on
the Fourth in 1898 it was discussing
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands,
and the final adjournment was July g.

his face on the desk so that his eye was

with the proper way OF erasure, which
is TO wet the tip OF the finger and

TEHERAN IS CUT OFF
FROM OUTER WORLD
Much Concern Felt for For
eign Residents of Per-
sian Capital.

ST. PETERSBURG July 5.-All com
munication has been cut off with Te-
heran and intense anxiety is felt here
for the safety of the foreign residents
of the Persian capital. 1t is believed
the rebel army under Sar-darassed has
entered the city.
According TO the latest adviees, the
Shah's palace and the adjoining Rus
sian and English legations have been
fortified and garrisoned by the Shah s
Cossaclzs. The rebels greatly outnum-
Der the Cossacks, however. and gra We
doubts are felt as to the loyalty of the
guard. The Russian army corps under
General Snarsky IS still several days
march away from the capital. and little
hope is entertainer that it can reach
the city in time TO relieve the foreign
residents If the rebels attack the Iega-
tions. where all the foreigners have
taken refuge.
Emissaries from the English and Rus
sian legations who were sent out to ne
gotiate With the rebels following yes
terday's skirnish, at Shahabad, fifteen
miles from Teheran, were fired on and
forced to retire to the city. In the
clash at Shahabad, twelve of the rebels.
a loyallst officer. and three Cossacks
were killed.
It is understood that before the rebels
entered the capital. the Baktiari tribes
men and the nationalists Joined forces
for the attack.
The native population o. the city is
panic-stricken. A bomb was exploded
yesterday IN the main bazaar by revo-
lutionary synpathizers. and a score OF
merchants and trades people were in
jured. The people are barTicading
themselves in their houses, fearing q
general sack of the city.

Japan'S Development May
Also Affect Action on
Navy Bill.

Germany and Japan will be much in
mind when the naval bill of next win
ter is discussed in Congress.
1t is not that anybody has particular
fears of either of these countries. but
that both are plainly determined to de-
Velop their power and position IN their
respective fields of commercial and
political influence. As to Germany, it
Is recognized that the German menace
is not directed against the United
Safes. as a few years ago, but against
Britain.
But Germany is coming to be under
stood as having very definite ideas
along the line of what Germans call
Deutsche Weltpontik. which involves
the national aspiration for a greater
place in the world of greatest affairs.
1t looks TO a Pan-German imperial uni
fication to include all that is now called
German, and much that is now Holland
and Austria. II looks TO unquesttoned
domination OF the Continent, and to,
recognition as an equal partner Of
Britain on the seas Beyond that, Il
looks to commercial and colonial eX-
Pansion; and the possibility of an ulti-
mate menace 10 the Monroe doctrine is
not by any means considered by diplO-
mats to be negligible, merely because
AnglO-Gefman rivalry at the s1oment
Overtops all other internationl situa-
tions-
British Allies Worried.
As to Japan. even her British allies
are increasingly nervous about her dis
position to crowd out British shipping
and commercial interests ali over the
Pacific. Rather than permit other pow
ers participating IN the railroad de-
veIopment Of Msnchuria, Japan is de-
clared TO be standing in the way OF any
such development. When she Is able
to do it Japan undoubtedly proposes to
do that work herself. She is taking no
chance OF losing her grip on Manch uria
through the admission Of partners to
the work of its development.
These things are being pointed out as
reasons why it is necessary for the
future in both the East and South
America, and as a growing commercial
factor. to maintain an impressive navy.
Oppose Naval Increass.
There is more or-less opposition to
naval increases; but everything indi-
Gates that the navy viii grow IN future
with greater strides than IA the past,
so long as the leading Eur Opean powers
continue IN their race OF naval expan-
sion. However much the United States
might deprecate participation in such a
contest, il is recognized that while the
I contest is on the United states must

( ity and willingness TO hold leading

are waiting that opportunity are keep
/ ing themselves ready for it.

BOrah Fears Local Issues.

Senator Borab of Idaho feared that
iocal issues before a legislature might
defeat the income tax amendment
through delaying fits consideration
Whereas, in a convention K would be
the only issue and would be sure TO be
edopted. If twelve States should refase
70 accept il, he thought Il would be The
most unfortunate thing that had happen
ed In this country since the civil war
The fight gor an income tax would then
be permanently closed.
Senator stone of Missouri suggested
that Congress might reimburse the
States for their expenses IN calling con-
sDtuuonal conventions.
Mr.. Brown said that suggestion Illus
frated the danger involved in the pro
posed amendment TO his proposition. lie
said they all involved the necessity Of
some other legislation and he failed ia
see EhE tie beaten path should not be
followed through which the other fif-
teen amendments 70 the Constitution
had been adopted.
