Of placing arms in the hands of

Prentice. who has reached here from
Richmond, that the public men in that
city. one and all, seem prepared for

the abolition OF slavery. They all pro-

Capitol
Grounds.

Grounds are printed in The Star of
e' January 6, 1865. and bear
Interestingly upon the subject of the
enlargement Of the Capitol grounds,
which has been lately in evidence
through the long-protracted plaza con-
formations:
Many plans have been suggested for
the extension of these grounds by the
purchase Of additional land, and prop
erty holders have complained of being
Kept In a state OF suspense by a want
OF action on the part of the govern
ment. My own opinion is that no ad-
ditional property is required. The gov
ernment already owns to B street north
and south, from west 1st street to
Delaware avenue on one side and New
Jersey avenue on the other; If, there
extended to B street north and street
south. ample space will be obtained
for all the purposes of beauty and
utility required by the Capitol / have
from time to time made plans for vari-
GUS members and committees of Con-
gress for extending the grounds on the
east. even down to the Potomac; on
the west to Sd street, and on the north
and south to c street, and even as far
as D street. I have never, however,
sympathized with any of these
schemes for great enlargement of
the space around the Capitol. I am of
the opinion that the land already own
ed by the government, and included
within the Capitol inclosure, will be
quite as extensive as will comport with
the convenience of the building used
for legislative purposes and quite suffi-
cient to give proper effect to its ar
chitecture."

one could they not gain other ter
rttories? Norway could gain Laponia
in the north and the peninsula of Kola,
perhaps also Spitzberg: Sweden could
have Finland in the north as far as the
White sea. Finland could have Karcien
and 1ngermanland. Denmark could
have the part of Schleswig which
speaks Danish. These territories could
be traded against Greenland, which
could be given to the United States for
some privileges for Germany.
But most important of all would
be-" according to DR.. Molenaer, "a de-
fensive alliance Of all Germans of the
continent. Against such an alliance
the abnormal triple alliance. England.
France and Russia, could do nothing. A
league of all Scandinavians should be
formed that their politics should be
directed in the way Indicated"
A correspondent from Christiania,
who invites attention to the foregoing
article, expresses the opinion that the
Scandinavians who oppose the argu-
ments of DR.. Molenaer could not have
stronger arms than those placed in
their hands by the author. The idea of
imposing Germans, for example, as
common tie between Scandinavians, to
say nothing of the proposition to make
the King of Sweden emperor, Is suf-
ficient to give a mortal blow to the en-
tire proposition worked out by this
singular composition of pacifsm and
radical empiricism.

ION the arrival of the first car in

track remaining north of the entrance

to drive up to the curb as formerly,
not regarding the track or platform
laid by the company. About eleven

AT THE COLONIAL.

The big north woods offers many
interesting incidents for dramatic au-
thOrs to weave rOmances about and
The Little Lumberjack," shown at
the Colonial today, is a good example
Of this sort. The majority of the
scenes of the production, which is in
two reels, are set among the noun
tains and the lumber camps. 1t is
picture of interest to the old and
young alike, and several of the scenes
including the pursuit of Indians up
the river in canoes are picturesque in
the extreme. Three other timely sub
jects are shown on the same program.
For Sunday a new western drama,
Brand BlOtters" featuring Edna
Payne, heads a list of late releases and
first run pictures. Beginning next
Monday the management will inaug-
urate gift plan that will appeal to
the many patrons and should result
in a largely increased attendance at
the new Colonial.

for a treasury clerk are forcibly
brought out. There is another promi-

LONDON STILL DARKER
Citizens Must Feel Their Way About
Town Due to Strict Orders.

LONDON. Oct. 2.-If London has
been dark before, it was darker than
ever Friday night as a result of the
new police regulations which furthef
reduces street and private lighting.
The regulations are being strictly en-
forced, no bright lights being per-
mitted anywhere.
Police officials patrolled the streets
from Immediately after sunset to OBJ
serve the effect of the new rules and
to warn offending shopkeepers, hotel
prOprietOrs and private residents of
the heavy penalties they were liable
to incur by allowing too much illumi-
nation to escape from their premises.
Street lamps in London are now re-
dUced to mere specks and the citizens
feel their way about The idea of the
new regulations is not TO hide entirely
the location of the city, but to secure
a uniformity of lighting. which will
not afford aerial visitors TO find any
outstanding land mark.

Export Figures for Week Far

pared with 7.735,00O bushels shipped
last week and 9.963.00 bushels a
year ago. Fridays clearances OF
wheat and flour from the United
States alone were over 100000
bushels and apparently business is
only restricted by the lack of suffi-
cient ocean freight room. Broomhall
reports English millers and buying
excitedly over there because Of linn
tied offerings of native wheat and
disappointing import arrivals. He
states that it is becoming incumbent
upon buyers TO follow the advance in
ter wheat is in good demand. while
spring wheat is hard to buy.
While wheat futures at Chicago
Friday closed lie to 1-2c lower, the
trade was not inclined TO press the
selling side and the market was large
" influenced by the weakness at
spring wheat centers and break in
corn values. y lul IN export de-
mand was explained as due to inabil-
ity to get cables through because of
military restrictions. There was much
buying of December wheat and sell
ing of May in exchange. Demand for
cash wheat continues brisk at all
points.
Losses Of 1 1-261 5-Sc were shown
in curn futures. Heavy selling by
leading elevator concern together with
excellent weather over the belt and
bearish crop reports proved too much
weight for the market TO carry. One
