Senator Money ofr Mississippi Is oonferrlng with his senatorial rolieaguea regarding' action to enforce the rlghjt of the senate to ratify treaties and pacts of the United States. Money maintains that the agreements recently entered into by Secretary of State KllhUi Root with the treaty and that until the senat rati fies It the pact has no validity. Senator Money's efforts' to raise the question . In the senate, however, will probably ' be of a factional nature, an the leading Republican members seem satisfied with the course taken by Root. There has been no Indication that the matter will not be laid before the sen ate during the session, and until it is apparent that the senate Is being ig nored the senste majority.

QUAKER CITY'S CONCRETE SPAN OVER DELAWARE Philadelphia has Just succeeded in carrying through a bridge building Job that is notable for two reasons: First, the main span is 233 feet Clear between the piers, making it the longest con crete span in the world; and, second, the work was done by the city engineer ing department, no contractors having a hand In it at an enormous savins to the taxpayers over and above the con tractors' bids. The total lenath of the brMae ia K2S feet; its construction is of concrete, without the steel reenforcement. and the total cost was $260,000. which was Just $6000 more than the city engineer's estimate. By City's Hen Throng hoot. In everv detail, from the dar the plans were first laid down, until the obstructions were removed at either end so that vehicles might pass over It, the brldae was built bv the citv un der the supervision of municipal officials. The outsider and a certain element of native Phlladelphlans are prone to consider so much every piece of public work rat," to be fried out in the pans of the big contracting firms; and two years- ago, when the bridge con struction began, these critics were as skeptical as ever about the bosslbllltv of the city attempting to do a piece of Its own work without outside assist ance. The best evidence of the care expended on the work is shown by the cost of the completed structure, which was within less than 2 H per cent of the original estimate filed by the engineer ing department. The a-eneral plan of the structure is that of twin supporting arch ribs floored across on top, and this scheme Is carried out throughout the Ave ap- roach arches as well as the main arch, 'he plan insures economy as well as lightness. Over each main arch rib the floor Is carried on eight pairs of span drel or relieving arches, which support tne rour longitudinal , wans upon which the floor" rests, f The- whole is hollow underneath up to--the floor, and conse quently no earth nillng is reqnlred. This effected a great saving In weight. The five approach spans, while small In comparison with the main arch, are of a size that not many years ago would ' nave been considered lance. Thev are each 63 feet clear between the piers, and those next to the main span are about 70 feet clear above the ground. Arches oa Ttlse Work. One of the most Interesting construe tlve phases of the work was the erec tion of the arches on a false work cen terlng, which was first erected under one of the parallel arch rings and, after mat ring bad been completed, moved over In Its entirety to Its position under me otner ring, xnis centering consist ed of six stories of timber resting on one layer of structural steel, which in turn rested on concrete piers founded in the creek bottom. The falsework was 147 feet high, 232 feet long, and 50, feet wide at the bottom. Its total weight was about 800 tons. Correct alignments' were maintained at each foot of progress, and at no time was the centering of the -alignment more than one inch. A close examination re vealed that there were no cracks in the main arch after the centering had been moved. This falsework was no small affair, either In cost or In the amount of build ing material required in its construc tion. It used ud 180 tons of structural steel, zu tons or three quarter Inch bolts and two tons of washers for the bolts. Two Tsars' Work. Over S 00 men were employed for two years in building the Ijrldge, and 19,000 yards of concrete was used in Its con struction. WhUe.Hs cost was greatly In excess of what a steel bridge could have been put up for. In the end it will cost the city far less. . for the reason that there will be practically no charge for maintenance. This bridge has attracted the atten tion of engineers throughout the world. Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice, the chief en gineer of London, who reonntlv inini. ed It, declared it was worth a trip across the ocean to see it.

The building la to cover a 60x100 foot lot and will contain about 20 apartments. It Is to be Drlck veneered and will cost about $25,000. In support of his contention that stone blocks have not been "cornered" by the St. Helens quarry, and that any company that has the money and de sires to invest may open up quarries of Its own. Councilman Kellaher exhibited a piece of rock sent to the street com mittee of the city council yesterday af ternoon by the Gordon Falls Electric comnanv. which asserts that it Is pre pared to furnish the city with millions of tons of such material at a reasonable figure. Citv Engineer Taylor pro- ounced the specimen of rock admirably suited for paving purposes. ir the statement maoe oy tns uoraon Falls comoany Is found to be correct. and the rock Is found suitable for use on Portland streets a new aspect is given tha fight for supremacy between the Belgian block advocates and those who are working for vitrified brick.

When did tne company dispose or its Interest?" asked Chairman Vaughn. "Well. It was my understanding, re plied Dunlway, "that they never owned any stock." 'Aren t you tne company attorney? ' asked the chairman. "Most assuredly not. 1 only wish to heaven I were." devoutly exclaimed Dunlway. "I heab one anoiogy on too or an other, then," smilingly said Mr. Vaughn. Mr. Dunlway asked for permission to read a petition for the stone blocKs. The petition Is signed by many of the Dig manuiacturing companies ana wholesale dealers. A remonstrance of Kverdlng A Far rell, dated July 7, was read. The re monstrance is against the improvement of West Park, between Stark and Washington streets, with bltullthlc pavement. The protest is on the ground that the street Is already Improved, and that If this were not enough reason that the petition calls for bltullthlc which Is a patented article and shuts out competition, which Is required by the city charter.
