NEWS AND GOSSIP FROM NEW YORK New Custom House and Other Important Buildings Soon to Be Erected in the Metropolis.

Bureau of the Democrat and Chronicle, New York, Feb. 20. 1K01. Bnilding Improvements to the extent of $20,000,000 are projected or under way la the downtown financial district. All of this Is sooth of Fuhon street, and the alterations and new buildings are being made and erected on a scale elaborate even for this sec cadets, expelled for hazing, from the army seems unnecessarily drastic.

Young men, in the exuberance of their vitality, may incur the penalty of expulsion without indulging ia the brutal forms of hazing brought to light by the investigations of the congressional committee. Among them may be some splendid material for army life, and the day may come when the country will greatly need their services. Omitting the part of the conference report providing for perpetual ineligibility the punishment would still be very severe, and probably entirely adequate to the suppression of offensive and dangerous hazing for many years to come.

One building much needed by the city but which does not seem to be coming onr way very rapidly is a new postoffice. There Lg now pending la congress a bill to appnjp-iate $2,500,000 for an uptown postoffice, but, it does not seem to be able to etray from its owa fireside in the committee room, it ij said that rival politicians are urging cUler-ent sites for the building, and that this la accountable for the delay ia getting the bill ia moving order. However that may be, tfcera is absolute necessity for such a baildiag.

Aid New York surely Should be dealt wita properly ia postal matters. Although there is an annual deficit of $10,000,000 in the pes. tal revenues of tue country the New York postoffice earns handsomely and its bssinest should not be retarded. The city is entitled to the best postal service the government caa give, and it is not getting it. For moaria there hare been general complaints of delayed mail matter, periodicals being the sari, est matter to get to hand.

Second-class mail matter is frequently four to six days behin4 in being delivered, although It reaches the of-flee within twelve hours after it has be mailed here. Christmas time great tm was found ia delays attending reglsterd sun and packages. But the men working ia tie postoffice are packed la spoon fashion and ara forced to work under artificial light, wii conditions most unsanitary. Therefore Lu wonder Is that even present results are accomplished. Promises have beea made for a new office, but do not seem to materializ.

Among tho sites considered have been Isoa Square Garden, the Grand Central pai. ace, Yanderbiii square and the old Sixth avenue car stables, but nothing definite ca the question has ever beea reached. From pres therefore entitled to represent Great Britain. Although it was shown that parliament had changed the succession by the act of settlement, the duke said he did not recognize the right of parliament in the premises. As he was talking in the way to suit the Hapsburgs theory of di vine right, it was difficult to meet his statements.

When the Prince of Wales heard of the controversy ia an indirect way, he apprised Lord Granville. The latter caused the British ambassador to say that if a single word of the contro versy were repeated to the prince he would leave Vienna with the whole Brit- representation rear the court. The prince heard no more. The present pretender. Princess Louise of Bavaria, is a niece of the Duke of Modena who made trouble at Vienna.

She is dewBded from the daughter of Charles I. Her adherents did not put wreath on the statue of Charles but proclaimed Edward VIL an usurper upon the dead walls of Lon don. The king will get along without the support of these people, but under the freedom which prevails in England he can do little to discourage them, so long as they are careful to avoid performance that is treasonable. MANILA MERCHANTS PE03C0TINO WAS. Recent arrests in and about Manila of members of foreign and native business houses for assisting the insurgents tend to show that the poor followers who are al leged to be fighting for liberty are merely earring oa war to bring business their shrewd and unscrupulous leaders the seaports of Luzon.

The Belgian consul, as part of the for- eiga syndicate promoting war for what there is ia ft, is supposed to have fled to avoid the consequences of acts by his busi ness firm. The treasonable league ia New England now finds itself promoting the schemes of the great syndicate to worry our government and keep up a war to pro mote business enterprise. Some good, healthful shootings, after prompt trial by court-martial, would have a beneficial influence upon the treasonable promotion of war to keep business lively. It has taken time to search out the rascals who have been keeping the insurrection alive. At first it was necessary to subdue the organized armies and cut off supplies for them from the outside.

When this was accomplished it became evident that the insurgents received supplies from the Inside. There is no telling how many American officers and soldiers have been killed through the aid given the robber bands by the merchants of Manila and their foolish abettors ia the United States. These abettors could not have known that they were doing a turn for the treasonable business of the Manila syndicate. But that is the fact. Ia view of the recent disclosures, the de sirability of continuing military govern ment at Manila for some time is apparent.

Such a government is best able to deal with tie scoundrels who have finally been discovered trading on the blood of Ameri can soldiers and poor, misled 1 liipinos. The firing squad ought to be called into requisition. SPAKBING PBOHIBITED IN MINNEAPOLIS A boxinz carnival which was scheduled to be held ia the Minneapolis Exposition hniMin has been declared off by Mayor Ames of that city. This was brought rwnt throura the protests of a branch of the Y. M.

C. A. at Mankato and the official influence of Governor Van Sant. The mayor complied with the governor a request, but deeply resented in interference, and, in an interview, declared that hereafter no boxing or sparring exhibitions should take place in the city. That is intended as a blow at the Y.

M. C. A. ath letic department which has boxing dis plays of a harmless character la us gymnasium. The mayor went still further and said no athletic exhibitions where life or limb is put in jeopardy will be permitted tc take place ia Minneapolis.

Plainlr ia that assurance the mayor imori at football, baseball and, possibly. bicycle races, though the attorney-general of the state says "no potable construction of the law against sparring can make it prohibitive of any other form of ath letic sport. When a public official, who has been forced to do his duty against some particular evil, sulkily and spetefuliy tries to punish the public generally by forbidding nnobiectionable practices which may pos sibly come under the letter of the law, he shows that he is a pretty small speci men of a maa and unfit for his place. The same trick is sometimes played by interested parties when en attempt is made to apply the Sunday law against liquor selling or certain Sunday amusements. But the animus of such efforts to make the law obnoxious is so obvious that neither the courts nor the people are deceived by them.

THE WEST POINT HAZING PENALTY. The West Point hazing question came up for discussion in the United States senate on Monday, and a conference report which favored expulsion from the academy for hazing and perpetual ineligibility to appointment in the army of cadets so expelled was rejected. A new conference over the bill with the house conferees, therefore, will have to be held. The discussion in the senate showed considerable hostility to the radical provisions of the bill, particularly to the clause rendering expelled cadets ineligible to future appointment. Senator Tettus, of Alabama, expressed the opinion that the latter provision was unconstitutional, but that was an extreme view and was not Indorsed by others.

Senator Depew thought great injustice would be done to the young men if the conference report were adopted. Senator Lodge thought it was dangerous legislation, and Senator Wol- eott, of Colorado, denounced the whole attack on the hazing practices at West I Vint as an attempt 'io make milksops and prigs of our soldiers. Probably the recommendation of Sen a tor Ilawley, chairman of the military committee, that the penalty for hazing go no further than expulsion, with a prohi bition of re-entry into the academy, more fairly represents the sentiment cf the sen ate than any other expressed. Certainly the provision forever barring lainous local government ever known. Come to look it over, doesn the Record see something out of joint in its ideniiSca- tin of expansionists with those who are "indifferent to good government at home? VALUABLE WOODS OF THE PHILIPPINES.

The Forester for February publishes a valuable article by the late F. F. Ililder upon 'Philippine Forest Products." Most of the valuable timber is hardwood. The conifers are found in the islands bat are considered worthless, because of the destructive work of white ants. Mr.

Ilil der says the rice structures built by the government for stables and storehouses will probably be destroyed by white ants in two years. A list of the valuable hardwoods is given; it is long and wiil be interesting to all dealers in rare woods. Lack of roads will prevent, for a considerable time, the urtili ration of forest products. The forests hare been placed under competent control and when roads are built the yield of timber will be steady. Among the woods found are several varieties yielding gutta percha.

It appears from Mr. Ililder's article that the Chinese formerly worked the rubber forests and established a good trade which flourished until the product was adulterated and the business was ruined. Under the care of our government the rubber industry will doubtless be revived and the rubber trees preserved. The fact that trees producing rubber grow naturally in the Philippines is very gratifying. The rubber industry is sure of a good reward for years to come.

Production hardly keeps pace with consumption, and new rubber plantations are greatly needed. THE DELPIT CASE 03 TRIAL. The quescioo ecclesiastical condemnation and a Tin alment of a marriage have any civil effect upon the parties to the marriage is now before the practice court ia Montreal. This question has been raised by the Delpit case. The Catholic Church authorities declared the Delpit marriage void on the ground that it was clandestine.

Mr. Delpit was a Catholic and his wife had been. They were married by a Unitarian minister. The church authorities held that both were Catholics and that marriage by a clergyman not a Catholic rendered the union clandestine and void. Mr.

Delpit, who sought the annulment, went into the civil court for the purpose of securing re lief from the civil effects of the marriage. assuming that the court would recognize the fact of annulment by the ecclesiastical court. Counsel for Mrs. Delpit in an argument on Friday held that under the code mar riage was a civil contract and that the minister who performed the marriage was competent under the code to perform mar riage, that in performing marriage he act ed as a civil servant and not as a religious teacher; however, he may employed a religious ceremony. The counsel also argued that as the law of marriage did not recognize the power of ecclesiastics to an nul marriage, the Delpit marriage had not been annulled under the civil law, and that Mr.

Delpit had no standing in court. The comments of the judge favored this presentation. The judge said that, whereas the Catholic, authorities held that marriage between Catholics could not be annulled except by those authorities, the imperial parliament could annul any marriage, so far as its civil effects were concerned, upon sufficient evidence, and that the parties re marrying could not be prosecuted for bigamy. The Delpit case has attracted much attention throughout Canada, where its determination is of great consequence to many people. THE LSATGTJBAL BALL A1TD THE PEN SION BUILDING.

Representative of Colorado, intro duced in the house on Monday a resola tion of inquiry addressed to the secretary of the interior. "What Mr. Bell wants to know is what effect the ue of the pension office for the inaugural ball will have upon the public business. In his preamble he says that it is reported 3U0.0i.KJ pension files have had to be removed and work by between 1,500 and 2,500 employees of the pension office will have to be suspended for eight days. These employees are paid in the aggregate about $7,000 per day.

It is probable the reply to this inquiry will be satisfactory to Mr. Bell and the country; but, if so. the statement of facts will hare to be different from that of the preamble. The inaugural ball is not a state or po litical, but a social function. It has no essential connection with the inauguration of the president.

It is oaHed the inaugural bail because it is given on the oc casion of the president's induction into office. But the president's inauguration is not in the slightest degree affected by it, and he is not necessarily connected with it ia any way, though it is customary for the president to appear at the ball. It follows, therefore, that the appro priation of a great national building and office to the uses of the ball is a matter of grace on the part of the government, and it should not be done at too great a cost to the public service. If it were true that 2,000 employees, more or less, were compelled to remain idle for eight days at aa expense to the government of $7,000 a day, that state of facts would come near being a public scandal. The old rule is that those who dance must pay the fiddler.

That is a good rule. whether in the case of individuals or of inaugural ball associations and commit tees. ELWAED AND THE JACOBITES. TKa London devotees of Charles I. who have been accustomed to lay wreaths at the bate of that king's statue upon the 20th of January, the day of execution.

The folly of such talk lies ia the fact that nobody is clamoring for "imperial expansion abroad. The United States is defending its sovereignty in certain territory acquired from Spain, and the Record has often said that our title to the territory in question is good and ought to be defended and maintained.

Often when these loans enable a man la difficulties to continus the payment of premiums they are the salvation of the insurance contract- In other cases they are really a ue of a future provision for a present need, a use wiae or unwise aa the case may be.

From that center it has stretched out to all points until now the financial district ex tends from North to East rivers and from the Battery to Fulton street with Indica tions of further extensions northward, which Is now the only direction la which It can extend. Ia pont of Interest the new custom house on Bowling Green is probably the most Important of the new structures- Excava tions for this building are now la progress. the building to cover 64,000 square feet and to cost SiToO.OOO. The ground cost the gov ernment 12,111,125 more, title being taken la twenty-eight deeds. The custom house will be of solid granite, six stories high, the architecture being of the Italian Renaissance schooL The frontage wiil be 19L1 feet on Bowling Green, 2S0.1 feet side oa Whitehall street, 2S7 feet on Stare street and 2S6 back oa Bridge street.

A feature of the Bowling Green front will be gigantic granite statues representing the commerce of America, En- rope, Asia and Africa. Smaller statues will represent the commerce of the civilized nations of the earth. Next to this magnificent structure the most important building la prospect Is the new Stock Exchange, work oa which will be started on May 1st- At that time the Stock Exchange wiil be transferred for a year to the home of the Produce Ex change, and the old Stock Exchange will be torn down with Its abutting property and the new structure erected. It will be done a year after the work is started. The new exchange will cost $1,500,000, will have a front of 138.2 feet on Broad street, a back of 132.5 feet oa New street and Just to keep an eye oa Wall street, which typifies the fi nancial district, there will be a side of 14.7 feet on that street.

The building wiil be tour stories high, of solid white marble and de signed oa the Athenian It will be given over entirely for the use of the ex change and no office or store space whatever will be rented. Extra room will be used for street vaults, telegraph, telephone and cable facilities, club rooms for the members of the board, galleries for visitors, reception rooms, baths and a gymnasium. Marble will be used through out the Interior of the building. Chamber of Commerce Building. Then there wiil be a new Chamber of Commerce at an early date.

Tenants of the old Beat Estate Exchange at the northwest corner of Liberty street and liberty place will, on May 1st, vacate tire building, which will then be torn down. There the new Chamber of Commerce building will be erected. The lot cost the org'anlrattoa $700,000, and the structure, which will be only four stories high, will cost an additional $500,000. It will be entirely of white marble. Aa soon as the government moves into Its new custom house, the National City Bank, the product of the Standard Oil Company, will start the construction of Its new home oa the ground where the custom house Is now lo cated.

This may be anywhere from three to five years yet, but by a sealed bid the bank got the custom house property for $3,625,000, It consisting of 31,600 square feet of ground, fronting oa Wall street and occupying space oa 'William street, Hanover street and Exchange place. While nothing has yet beea determined as to the character of the Nation al City Bank building. It is the general opin ion that it will be a skyscraper and will cost about $3,000,000. A most Important building now nearing completion Is the Broad Exchange, the largest and most expensive office building la the world. This Is at the corner of Broad street and Exchange place and when finished will represent a total cost of $3,500,000.

If Russia is paying a bounty to her exporters of home-made sugar, Secretary Gage is simply executing a law of the United States ia collecting an extra duty on Russian sugar. The section applying to the case reads as follows: That whenever any country, dependency, colony shall pay or bestow, directly or indi- V.t 1 inv V. rut rte cfsnt TiOfT portation of any article or merchandise from.

This is plain enough ia its declaratioa of what is to be done under the circumstances. But it has been stated that Russia has denied to our government that it rays export bounties, wherefore some of the newspapers are roundly debouncing Secretary Gage for his insulting refusal to take Russia's word in the matter and for his uawise and unwarranted action in imposing the countervailing duties. Oa the other hand, we observe the following suggestive editorial paragraph in the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, a business paper of the most trustworthy and conservative character: If the Russian government does not pay a bounty on sugar exports, why wss It represented at the conference of representatives of bounty-paying governments at Brussels about three years ag. and why did ttusU and France objot to the abandonment of bounty-psrlcg which Germany and Austria were ready to agree to? Here is an intimation that the situation may not be quite so simple as it seems to those who have been pronouncing prompt and dogmatic judgment on the secretary. Of course, even if it shall turn out that Mr.

Gage technically right, our small importations of Russian sugar involve interests absurdly insignificant when considered ss cause for a tariff war. Oa the other hand. Ambassador Casiini declares that Russia has no such ar in view and that the prohibitory duties which she has placed on American manufactures of iron and steel have nothing to do with the sugar incident. It is understood that Russia's "bounty" is ia the form of a rebate of internal revenue taxes oa the exported article, which, it is claimed, comes withia the provisions of the extract which we have quoted from the American tariff law. But as our pnr-r-Vaaen of Russiaa sugar amounted to only X-irtOfN'O lust rear, there ought to be no difficulty in arriving at aa understanding and aa amicable settlement of tie aaair by the two governments.

INDIAN EDUCATION AT DABTJCOTJTH. The Boston Globe's correspondent at Hanover. New Hampshire, gives aa in teresting account of the founding of Dart mouth College as an institution for the education of Indian youth. Most of the funds for the establishment of the eol-ieire were secured in England and Scot land by the efforts of Rev. Sampson Oc-cum, aa Indian preacher, and from land grants made by the New Hampshire court.

Oecum received Lis education at iloor School for Indian youth at Lebanon, Con necticut, and at Dartmouth College, and was sent to England to collect funds for educating Indians at Dartmouth. A bril liant scholar and preacher, he was well received and delivered 300 sermons and addresses. In England and Scotland he secured $55,000 for the support of Indian education. The English subscriptions were administered by Lord Dartmouth, and the Scotch were put under control of "The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel Among the Heathen ia I orelgn Farts. The income from the Scotch fund was regularly received until 1S03, hea the Scotch society diverted the fund to other purposes.

Dartmouth has been educating Indian youth for more than a century. They have had free rent, tuition and board; and President Tucker 6ays that the college will continue to receive Indian youth fitted for college oa the same terms, although the 6 fecial fund no longer yields an income for their use. The number of Indians presenting themselves for a college education is not large, but it is stated that all of the Indian graduates have been aa honor to the college. One of the latest and most distiguished was Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman, now a practicing phytician at St.

Paul, Minnesota. In the days Dartmouth can hardly ex pect Indian students from the New Eng land tribes. They are nearly extinct. But the great tribes of New York are still vigorous, although lamentably backward in the matter of education. Near the elow of his term Governor Roosevelt made aa effort to excite some interest in the advancement of the New York Indians His suggestions were somewhat revolt tionary, and but small results can be expected.

The state ought to consider the subject of Indian education in all the departments of industry and make aa ef fort to furnish such opportunities as will rouse the Indians from their lethargy and prepare them for citizenship. Our duty to the aborigine has not been well per formed. Probably if some of those Chinese leaders condemned to suicide have their choice they will decide to die of old age, A Chicago policeman who died a few days ago had a great official record. He had been twenty-seven years oa- the force and never made an arrest. That would not ent indications there Is nothing to expect at the present session of congress.

Left Big Estate. That the late Collip P. Huntington left aa estate aided la round numbers at SO, 000,. 000 has caused the greatest surprise to his old associates and the public at large. At the time of the great railroad man's death iat August his estate was estimated generally at from twenty to fifty millions, B.a&sell Sage stating his belief that the amount would not exceed $30,000,000.

However, the executors of the estate have just deposited with Comptroller Coler a certified check for $700,000 to cover the amount of the Inheritance tax to be collected by the state. This indicates that the estate was worth at the time of Mr. Hunt ington's death $70,000,000, which has cow been Increased by fully tea millions owing to the developments la the Southern Pacifie stock, of which Mr. Huntington owned great blocks. Ey making this deposit with the comptroller the executors save to the estate 5 per cent, of the total tax.

Mr. Huntington Is credited with holding about 700,000 shares of Southern Pacific stock when he died. At yet no statement of the Huntington invest ments Is obtainable and will not be secured until the appraisement of the estate his been established. It will be several weeks, evea possibly months, before this appraisement caa be completed. Treeland's Valuable Advice.

President H. H. Vreeiand, of the Metropol itan Street Kailway Company, is essentially a practical man. He has jast delivered a remarkable address to young men, pointing oat to them various milestones a the road to scccessL As Mr. Vreeiand has himself passed along this road, rising from humble positions to the head of the greatest street railway system in the world, and to be aa acknowledged authority pa everything.

Incidental to hi as a railway president, he is indeed a competaat maa to give advice. And his edf i proves to be of the most practical sort. Oae of the most Interesting bits of advice given out by Mr. Vreeiand was that a msa with $25 la search of a job might far better spend $3) oa clothes. $4 oa ehoes and the balance on a shave and a hair cct, then seek the position, than to seek it with the money la the depth of a shabby suit of clothes.

That does not hit the old-fashioned id that clothes do not make the man, bat it is patent to all that Mr. Vreeiand hit the nail on the bead and threw out a most valuable segses-tion. He also said that the empioree wito sought Information and was always endeavor- lug to do more thaa he was hired to do is the employee to fall under the eye of tfcs employer and be advanced. Mr. Vreeiand impressed it oa his hearers thst they wooid be wasting time to look for an elevator to success whea they be climbing stairs.

Were the Metropo'itaa president at of a position he would do well to ta.e the lecture rostrum. Breeding. Detroit Journal. "Y'oa doubtless need patience In your business?"
