Stonework to Be Resumed Soon on the Big Building. For perhaps a month past the only work- men employed on the new city post office building have been iron workers, engaged in the dangerous taek of placing and bolt- ing and riveting the frame work for the roof 6f that structure. The stone and brick construction of the bullding proper was finished some time ago, and the small flag that floats from the top of the round tower at the northeast corner of the big pile is witness to that fact. Next week, however, if weather condi- tions continue favorable, it is the expecta- tion to begin again the stone work and push the work on the tower. A cargo of stone from the quarries Las arrived and ts now being unloaded, containing enough material for two stories of the tower. It would have been possible to have begun this work sooner had not the barges been held between the capes and the mouth of the Potomac by the recent freeze. The stone {s being delivered in the post office grounds today, and the brick and stone masons will be at work again in a short time. AS MONROE DERSTOOD IT. Lord Salisbury Says He Thus Supports the Great Doctrine. The banquet of tite non-conformist union- ists at the Hotel Metropole in London last night was the occasion for an address by the Marquis of Salisbury, prime minister and secretary of state for foreign affairs. In the course of his remarks he said, with reference to Venezuela: “I have been held up as the denouncer ‘of the Monroe doctrine. As a matter of fact, although the Monroe doctrine is no rt of international law, my dispatch to Mir Olney, the Secretary of State of the United States, supported it as a rule of icy in the strongest and most distinct “But when I stated in that dispatch, and reiterate now, that as a rule of policy we are the estire advocates of the Monroe doctrine, we mean the Monroe doctrine as President Monroe understood it (cheers). In that sense you will not find any more convinced supporters than we are.” ++ LYNCHERS TO BH PROSECUTED. Many Arrests Will Follow. in BMe- Dowell County, W.

NEW SEWERS NEEDED To Replace Those That Are Now Useless, WHAT THE IMPROVEMENT WILL COST A List Prepared by the Engineer Department. APPROPRIATION TOO SMALL Throughout the entire city are located obstructed sewers, lald during the regime of the old board of public works, that are not only of no use, but a positive menace to the health of tne city. These sewers are of faulty construction, laid in many in- stances without any regard for grade, with open joints, through which the roots of trees forced their way, growing with such rapidity that in a short time the sewer be- came clogged. Then the sewage, meeting the obstruction, escaped through the ope>- ings, polluting the soll, and when in close proximity to a well firally finding its way to the water. There is little doubt amon; physicians that these sewers have been re sponsible for many deaths. Some time ago the engineer dep: under direction of Capt. Beach, charge of the sewer departmeat, com- menced an examination of the old sewers of the city, and the results were startling. So a list was prepared showing the sewers that should be replaced, estimat>d to cost $101,069. Congress has been asked to ap- propriate $25,000 to start the work, and the subcommittee on appropriations, realizing the importance of the matter, has not cut the estimate. But the amount is wholly in- sufficient, as the following list of sewers that should be replaced will show. This list, as stated above, was recently pre- pared by the engineer department after a careful investigation of the subject. Sewers to Be Replaced.
