Work on the new city post office building opposite Tux Star office ix beginning to pro- gress ina manner which shows results. The sticking of a number of thousand of piles into the soft earth constituting the bottom of the big excavation bad the effect of giving a pincushion appearance to the site of the new post office, but it was not calculated to give the uneducated mind the idea of a great building. Mr. Stewart, who is superintending the erection, or rather so far as it has gone, the mining operations, says that it has all along been a thrilling and inter- esting spectacie. Mr. Stewart is an accurate gentieman and his judgment is good, but to an average mind the affair might have been a dredging operation on a large scale. Now. however, the big inclosure is UILDING. ta. | taking on a different appearance and the eight- story structure in contemplation having gotten its underpinning, as it were, 1s beginning to rise into the air. THE STONE FOUNDATION. At the present time the piles which were studded over the foundation have been entirely | covered with thecourses of girders and cement, | and the stone foundation is growing upward | all over the lot. Eight steam derricks are at work on the edges of the digging, carrying the stones down where they are laid in courses with cement. The foundation is being built m | the form of piers, which will be topped with | granite capstones, and 245 of these capstones are | to be placed, which, however, does not repre- | sent the number of piers, as some will have two capstones. Many of these piers have been finished and the capstones placed. TO SUPPORT THE GREAT TOWER. The largest of these is the tremendous mass of masonry which will support the big tower | near the center of the Pennsylvania avenue front. This pier is about sixty feet square at | the base and tapers somewhat as it rises. ‘Tho pier will consist of ten courses of masonry, each twenty-one inches in height. The average jiers supporting the other portions of the Paiiding will be about five feet in height. The contract for the stone work of the foundation, now being completed, is held by A. D. Neele. and the work was commenced in October. The next work to be started, which will probably | dovetail to some extent on the present con- | tract, will be the cut stone and brick work. | This contract has recently been given to Con- | tractor Pierce. KEEPING TRACK OF THE WORK. Superintendent Stewart expresses himself a fully satisfied with the progress of the work. ‘The past winter has not been a good one for any building, but work has progressed never- theless. By means of his close personal atten- tion to every detail of the constraction and the remarkably fine system of maps which the oiice keeps Mr. Stewart has every day's move- ment on the building at his fingers’ end. For instance, as already stated in Tue Star, one map shows every pile which has been | driven, and the depth of each. An addition, | however, to this map isin red ink and marks | out the first and lat piles which were driven. The first pile is at the extreme northwest cor- ner of the reservation. It was driven at 5 p. m. August 13, 1892. The last pile was about the center of ‘the south vide and was driven at 4 p.m. January 31, 1898. The different maps Will likewise show almost the first and last stone which was placed in each pier. pss samen tare. THE COURTS. Equity Court—Judge Hagner.

Collection of Sailors’ Hat Ribbons Engaging the Attention of the Pretty Girls at Old Point—On Board the Philadelphia and the San Francisco. ‘Staff Correspondence of The Evening Star. Fort Moxror, Va., April 11, 1893. As compared with yesterday and the day be- fore Hampton Honds presents « rather deserted sppearance today. Ofall the men-of-war that were lying at anchor in the quiet waters of the harbor only three are here today. ‘These are the Philadelphia, with the rear |admiral in command still on board, | and the two Russians, the armored cruiser cruiser Rynda, There seems to be some little | difference of opinion as to whether the name of the former is the Admiral General or the Gen- eral Admiral. It is not so easy to decide, and | those curious ones who thought they would leave it for settlement uniil they saw the name on the sailors’ hats are no better off now than they were before she came toanchor. There are plenty of the sailors about town, but no one is able to read the Russian names on their hate. Bussian is apparently not an easy language to get along with inless one knows it. Fortunately, however, the officers from the two ships are all good linguists and speak English and French with considerable fluency. SOCIAL COURTESIES TO THE RUSSIANS. In this way they have already managed to | make themselves quite popular in the social cir- | cles of the fort and the hotel, for, thanks to the | kindiy offices of the American officers, th have been generally introduced and well-re- ceived. At an afternoon tea given at the fort by Mrs. Frank, the wife of the colonel in command, the Russians were oat in force, and they mingle in the merry dance in the ball room of the hotel every evening to the satisfaction of the female part of the population. ‘There was an interesting spectacle in the ball | room last evening. A pretty girl had a big | bearded vassal of the ezar up in a corner be- | tween dances and was making him give her the first lesson in spelling Russian words. Her first attempt was at his own name, on the theory that if she could only learn to spell his name she might be nble to remember it until the next time she saw him. After sitting out a couple of dances she was able to stumble through the first half dozen syllables of his name, but she had got no further when the time came to put out the lights. ‘Those Russian names are great. It is a good bet that the next time she meets that particular officer she will have to put on the usual expres- sion of deep regret and say: ‘Really, I'm awfully sorr,but I have forgotten your name.” And he will begin all over again. WELCOMED ON THE RUSSIAN VESSELS. ‘The Russian officers are decidely hsopitabl in returning the attentions they have received, and visitors from the shore are taken out in their longboats and given a warm welcome on board the two ships. Russian tes is naturally the shape their hospitality takes, and the desire on the part of the visitors to partake of real Russian tea as made by real Russians is a | general one. ‘The amount of that beverage | that some of the ladies must have disposed of in the last couple of days is something alarm- ing to think about. They are a fine-looking lot of men, those Russian officers, brawny and broad and good natured to a degree. COLLECTING SAILOR HAT RIBBOXS, The spirit of collection has broken out in « new place here at the fort. Spoons are forgot- ten for the moment and all attentions are turned to the sik hat ribbons the eailors wear and that bear the names of their ships. Even the brass buttons are only a good second in the popular estimation just now. The thing is to kee who can get tie largest variety of ribbons, for each ribbon betokens that the wearer has been received aboard the ship whose streamer | she carries. It is a measure of her popularity, | like sealplocks among the red Indians, The first one she gets goes around her hat, the next about one arm, then the other arm, the | the waist, and soon until she is pretty well | covered.’ It's grest fun for the girls and it | pleases the young officers as well to have their ships eo well represented. ‘The girls see which one can get the most ribbons; the officers are Jealous that their own ship shall have the larg- | est following of devotees. Whenever a luncl | is given aboard ship the guests are all berib- boned with souvenirs of the occasion, and even a brief visit of inspection on board is pretty certain to have the same pleasant results. The officers of the czar have fallen into line very willingly in this game and their ribbons are rather ata premium. It is true that one can only guess from the number of letters in the name whether they are Rynda ribbons or Gen- eral Admiral, but that isa matter of small im- portance. ‘The nee of the Russian fleet in these waters is fraught with rather more interest than one is likely to ima,.ne at first. When the in- Vitations were sent out by this government to the other nations to participate in the Colum- bian review Russia as one of the most friendly nations replied willingly and promired to send an even half dozen of her most imposing men- of-war. Unfortunately only three of these will be able to be in American waters in time for the review. They are the smallest of the three, the Dimitri Donsoi, the General Admiral and the Rynda. The others are two armored cruisersand Pamiete Azova and the Emperor Nicholas L All three of them are larger than almost any other foreigner that is expected. The Pamiate Azova is 377 feet 9 inches long, so that Ger- many’s big protected cruiser, the Kaiserin Angusta, 388 feet, is the only one that outranks her in size. Unfortunately these three Rus- sians are now in the Baltic sea and are not ex- pected to be able to leave there before the Ist of May on account of the condition of the ice. For this reason fussia had to be content with a smaller showing in the review, hoping to have her larger vessels over here later in the summer. ADVANTAGES OF A LATER REVIEW. There is a very general feeling among naval men here that if the review could have been held in the latter part of May instead of in April it would have been afar grander display. Russia, with her big ships, would have seta pace that the other countries would have had | to live np toand the result would have been that if they desired to make a good showing in comparison they would have had to send their at. England and one or two other countries would seem to object to having their finest ships here tobe measured, criticised and compared by the representatives of other nations and they have contented themselves with simply making ® fairly good showing and one that could not be treated too lightly. twithstanding all the criticism that can "ibly be raised there is no doubt that the coming review will be « superb display. Nine countries have signified their intention of par- ticipating and they have promised to senc alto- gether about twenty-four ships. England leads in point of numbers with five big cruisers. ‘This array of foreign ships in line with the Ameri- ean contingent will make an inspiring parade. Naturally there is nothing talked about here but the review and all ite details, and the great- est interest is taken in the arrival of the ships next week. Curiosity is shown on all sides as to which ship will be the first to show, and small wagers are made as to its nationality. The flagship still lies at her moorings just off ‘the pier ready to fire a salute in honor of the arrivals as they come in. A VIEW OF THE FLEET. Yesterday.afternoon when it was first rumored that the white squadron would be ordered out to sea Tux Sran’s correspondent made a visit of inspection to the fleet. Tied up to the “barf was the sdmiral's launch from. the Philadelphia, and the party embarked in thiw and it ‘steamed away rapidly toward the flagship. It was quite rough at the time and by no means an easy matter to tie up the little steam launch to the leading of the steps the party were met by the officer of the . Who of duction for Taz Stan man from Commodore and handed Ramsey to Rear Admiral Gherardi it to the admiral’s orderly, who hurried with it into the mysterious quarters of the commander of the fleet. ABOARD THE PHILADELPHIA. Admiral Gherardi bas been a sufferer from a severe atiack of the grip, but this did not pre- ‘vent him from coming out to greet the party in Sry nate Pia onl . . pao con tentiy mabceveens the ‘cctecm in which he is held by his subordinates. |General Admiral and the partially protected | a turret battle ship—the Admiral Nachimoff, the | bis His apartments on the’ are room) end handsomely fitted are ‘4 chairs and rockers about, Tonnes wad ieee of all sorte.

Present my compliments to the captain and say that if he will show these friends of mine and of Com- modore Ramsay's over his ship I shall take it ase personal favor. Let them see all, and when they are take them back to the hotel wharf in my launch.” With this kindly message the admiral turned tered his eebia, only to return again ina minutes to receive of officers from one of the ahips in the feet who hhad called in full uniform to payan oficial visit. Such s wonderfully clean place as that ship was! From top to bottom, or, more properly speaking. from truck to keelson, she shone in snowy whiteness and all the brasswork was ns shiny as one could possibly asic for. ‘The party went all through, looked into odd corners and hunted so hard for something that was not just as neat as a new pin. It wasn’t there. ‘verything was spotless and a more interes t- ing hour than was spent on board one could hardly imagine. One of the most curious fea- tures of the ship's equipment was a complete printing office that was setup in the workshop. It was a droll sight tosce a lot of compositors at work all dressed in the usual style of the Jack-tar. But they turned out good work just the same, even if there was no such thing as Inbor unions among them. So many of the orders that issue from a flagship have to go out in considerable numbers to the other ships that it is weli worth while to havea printing office and # great convenience as well. ON THE SAN FRANCISCO. On the San Francisco Capt. Watson was as good as the promise made by Admiral Gherardi, and it was evident that he was so proud of his ship that itwasa real pleasure to him to show visitors about. In ward room mess the officers hind served a bandsomc luncheo1 who were on board as their gu and ices and wine were served hospitality. There was more distribution of ribbons to all the Indies, and every one who had ona Philadelphia streamer had at once to sup- plement it with one from the San Francisco. ‘hen one thinks that each ribbon costs the donor 50 cents it will be seen that this item soon becomes a very eerious one in the expense account of the younger officers. One young lientenant disposed of an even dozen of them, and there were any number of men who were more or less fortunate in having more friends who managed to get rid of good many more than that. But the girls like it and the officers like it, so what's the difference? V.K GENERAL SPORTING NEWS. : Fe The Bowling at the C. A. C.
