INTERNAL MACHINE ON CAR.
Motorman Hurt in Cincinnati, But
Passengers Escape Injury,

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 25.-An in
fernal machine filed with buckshot and
operated by clockwork exploded on an
East End car here shortly after midnight
last night, seriously injuring the motor
man and wrecking the front end of the
car.
That other fatalities did not result is
attributed to the fact that there were
only a few passengers on the car and
these were seated in the rear. The police
believe they have q good description OF
the man who placed the machine on the
car. No cause for such An act has been

call it memorial to Abraham In

call for similar one on the opposite

stroy the idea of pre- -eninence and In

The territory south Of the Capitol.
The block bounded by b and C streets

mand like treatment to the north of
the Capitol, and thus the sense Of a d. s.
tinct and characteristic memorial would
be lost
The territory west of the Capitol. The
one possible site for a great memorial
immed ately west Of the CAPITOL is now
occupied by the Grant monument; and no
other could be added without destroying
the effect of what has already been done.
Even If the Grant monument were not
located as it is, any structure as large as

memorial to Lincoln. Among those

Portentous predictions of riots endan-
gering life and property in Haiti unless
the conflicting revolutionary interests are
soon pacifled reached the State Depart
ment today from private sources. This
increased the anxiety of officials here
and added to their fear that conditions In
the little republic are approaching chaos.
One encouraging feature of the situa-
ton reported is that the interests OF
Americans at Gonaives are not endan-
gered by the revolutionary occupation
of the city, where the population is
said to be in sympathy with the move
ment. This has strengthened the deter
mination OF the State Department to
stand behind the action of American

eign representatives in a protest to the
Simon government against any attempt to
lombard the unfortifed towns of the
coast now occupied by revolutionists.

tanned in the appendix to the report az
follows:
Meridian Hill Site.
Meridian Hill-It has been suggested
that the Lincoln memorial might take
the form Of an arch located on Meridian
Hill in the axis of 18th street. This
site would depend for it's effectiveness
almost wholly upon the vista of 10th
street. This is so narrow and the foliage
extends so far into the street that for
a considerable portion of the year the
memorial would be hidden from view at
those points where it should be most
effective.
moreover, this region VIII SooH cC
a busy one. and even now is occupied
by residences of many and varied
styles of architecture. Located here,
the Lincoln memorial would lack that
isolation which is an essent al ele-
ment in the site of a great monument.
In the future the Meridian Hill loca-
ton will probably be used for mon
unent. but 1t is not proper site for
a. memorial Of supreme Importance.

Fort Stevens. where President Lincoln
was under fire during the raid of Gen

Public Library should offer a model of
