Accompanying the improvements of the property which it already owns adjoining its present building at Broadway and Liberty street, the company will erect over the central part of the enmlarged structure a tower of forty stories, which will rise to the height of 593 feet 10 2 inches, The tower will be sixty-five feet square for thirty-six stories and will be sucs mounted by a dome containing four ad- ditional stories, above which will be a cupola and a flagstaff. Borings have been taken over the area to be covered by the tower, and it has been found that there will be no difficuity in reaching a firm foundation on bedrock to carry the enormous weight. All engineering prohlems in connection with the profect, it is sald, have been satis- factorily worked out. The total cost of the improvements in- cluding the tower, as estimated by the company’s architect, is $1,500,000. ‘With the exception of the Eiffel tower, the building will be the loftiest structure in the world. It will be nearly sixty feet higher th.!n the Philadelphia City Hall, more than 200 Row building, or the New York Times building, and more than 180 feet highe | than any of the famous spires of Europe, with the exception of that of the Cologne Cathedral, which rises 512 feet above ground.

He explained to the | Reichstag that Germany's negotiations of treaties with other states had not al- | ways progressed smoothly and bad ex- tended over long periods. | “We are, therefore, forced,” said the Chancelior, “to ask Parliament to’ consent to this propesal so that we may continve ‘T peace with the United States.” f S r— NEW YORK MAN UNCONSCIOUS | SINCE BE: ING OF YEAR Condition Is Said to Be Dne to Injuries Received in a Street Corener | 1wy a man who has us since January He was beater almost to death in a street fight.
