EVERYBODY FRAMES EXCUSES Contractors Say the Government Officials In Chnrge Lack Cou fctrnctlve Ability These Claim That Changes in the Original IMuna Hare Returded Operation &. Everybody wonders what the hitch is that seems to hold back the construction of the new city postoffice building. A creat deal of printr'r Ink has been used up in announcing the number of men at work on and in the new building, but very Tittle light has been thrown on the enes of delay. Tlie contractors on the building allege that the cause of the trouble lies in the lark or comtruetive ability on the part of tlie Government officers in charge. At the 'office of the supervising architect of the Treasury it is said that the delay ha been caused mainly by the proposition to install the rostorfiee Department there, which has rendered necessary certain obangtjs in the plin. There was a smell of mortar about the nw oKy pobtofflce building when a re porter for The Times called there ycstei "day. There wat not that heroic activity, which one would expect about a building o imposing The only sound that came to the reporter was that of battering Iron Thib sound cam from the C street side of the btrucuire, where a stalwart laborer, with Mledge and chisel was smoothing off the rivet heads in one of the great stack guards, which it was said would soon be placed In position above the roof 'Two men wen- working on the iron grating above the central court. One man was screening gravel on the Tw elf tli street tide. In addition to two or three eir plojes of the office of Uie superintend ent these were the only people in sight. It is in tlife Easement -where is the center of actlvitj. About forty men, most af them ialoicrs, were at work down there. They were cutting awa concrete liereaml filling in there. Some were excavating for the hut-air flume which is to run above the smoke tunnel. Three or four bricklayer were setting brick on this flume- A gang or men was at work tear ing up some Portland cement In the boiler room. The foundation for sevural r the boilers has been laid, and in front or the furnaces a heavy cement floor was put down. later it was determined to put in & patent stoker, and to accommodate this the floor Is now being torn out. Great plies of eartli and rubbish hestrew the basement. A few steamfltters were at work, but The Times map was told that all the work is being hc3n back because the contractor for the .Ifot-alr iron ducts is behli.d time. The firm which has 'tie contract for laying the cement floors cnot proceed till these ducts are com- SK No obligation to buy For Boys. Allizesfor Hoys and Youths.

It was said that these hot-alrducts were being cast by a little foundry at Baltimore, "whose output is only about six lengths a week. Friday is the casting day at this little foundry, and six lengths is con 5idercd enough Work to hold down the contract. The cement men and all those contractors who are to follow are out of patience, but one of these men told the re porter that it is a waste of energy to pro test. There is talk on the part of some of the contractors of entering suit for the recovery of the money they claim to have -lost by icason of this undue delay. The contractor for putting on the glas-. covering directly above the court brought on the glnss and was about to proceed with the work when he was stopped. This con tractor tnen had to cart the glass to a warehouse, and is now pajing storage on it Of course, he expects to be com pensated for the carriage to and from the building, and for the amount of storage which he has paid. The Arm which Is to cement the street floor has partially done Its work, but Is delaved because the plumbers are be hind, and the plumbers are notat w0rk be cause there is a rerort that the system argeed on is to be changed. A contract was let for putting in the heat ing and lighting outffit on the mezzanine floor, but w hen this contract was half car ried out it was discovered that the man who had furnished the drawings had made no provision for the chandeliers which are to light the rooms below, and so thib work came to a stop, and some of it will have to be done over. The contractors who are to put in the screen partitions and fret brass work and the onyx wainscoting are ready to proceed, but cannot until the plumbing contention is settled. Acting Supervising Architect of the Treasurj Lowe talked to the reporter yes terday. He said that no date for the com pletion of the new city postoffice building had been officially announced lately, and his manner suggested that no date far completion would, be announced. So many unlooked roi delays had been en countered that thero was no certainty when tho buUding would be finished. One of the principal drawbacks experi enccd was the proposition to remove the Postof rice Depai tment. "While this prnpo- ithin wa-pending work had bcesl pract Ically stopped, because it was tic desiie of the depaitinent that the postal people should bo made as comfortable ab pobibIe. Had the woilr been pushed aheatLand then had it b" ea determined to house the FoMotfice Department, then it would have been necessary to remodel the interior of the building. Then, when it was determined that the Postof ficeDepartmentshould be transferred down town, the Postoffice Department itself was slow in indicating just how it wanted the interior of the new quarters arranged. Therearrangcmentof the build ing made it necessary to alter the position of the heat radiators, and this necessitated a chance in the entire heating system. Contracts for the heating could not be let till it was determined where the ducts and radiators should be installed. Work on the drawings was going merrily ahead, and it was but the question" of a few weeks when the new city postoffice would be as busy as a bee-bie. AT RESIGNS FROM G0L1I Seth Low Gives Up the Presi dency of the University. FELT IT HIS DUTY TO DO SO A Position Which He Once Snid no "Would leather Have Than He President of the "United States The Trustees Sluy Hold the Hes luntion TJji for a Time. New York, Sept. 4 - Sctli Low's resign. -tion of the presidency. or Columbia Uni versity will be received and coiiMdered at the next monthly meeting ofthe trus tees of that institution on 0tobcr4. He intends to sever his connection with the university in order to be untrammelled in his campaign for the mayoralty. BETH Mr Low's most memorable public stite mem was thut made at a club diuner lu New York city several jears ago. "I would rather be president of Columbia College than President of the United States," said he. Yet Mr Low has determined to sacri fice his university portion oft thciiiUircl 01 being elected mayor. "I cannot do otherwise than resign" im mediately from the presidency of Colum bia Unhorsity," said Mr r Low. "I have so decided. Beyond any other Consideration a sense of delicacy demands it Colum bla has a right to the entire services or its president. "I eonid find no austlfication for my course were I to so much as accept the i -mdidacy of a publfcjof fice and still re tain my rsltion aspresfdeut of Columbia. I shall 3tann by tlie&tcrms of my letter of June 7. Tho committee of the Citizens' Union lias performed jfdlrUiat 1 requested. It only remains for rncto do my part." Mr. Low has thus settled tho course of his life until after election day in Novem ber. It remains to be seen what action the board of trustees will take. Will tbe&e trustees accept Mr. Low's resignation unconditionally and proceed immediately to fill the orfice of president of the university, Or will thej choose a president pro tern, and forbear to make his selection a permanent-one until the election shall have determined whether Mr. Low's services will still be uvaiable to them? In the event of Mr Low's defeat in November it would certainly be hard lines for the man shotildhe, in perlormlng what he regaids as a public duty, lobe an office which h e holds to be or groatcr honor than the Presidency of the United States. The salary of $13,000 a year is a matter of no moment to Mr. Low. Mr. Low will consign his possible fato Into the hands of twenty-four men-the trueteCb of the university who primarily goern Columbia. The term of Office or these twenty-four trustees is for life. They form a self-perpetuating body. The title to all the property or the unnerslty is vpstcd in these trustees, and they ap ijoint the president of the institution, as well as all officers of instruction and ad ministration. They are the ultimate source of author ity in all matters pertaining to the uni versity The president has charge of the educational administration of the uni versity, and is the chairman of tho mt versltj council and of every faculty es tablished by the trustees. It is not necessary, of course, that the board of trustees accept Mr. Low's resig nation. Mr. Low '6 usefulness as the head of this great institution of learring will be in no wise Impaired by a defeat in November. Hi? disappointment at falling, if he should fall, to be the guiding hand in putting in working order the complicated machinery or the new city charter, should be perceptibly softened could he return to a pofition apparently the most accept able to him of any in the girt of his coun trymen. President; Low is now engaged In pre paring his annual report for the board of trustees He will not leave Maine until ho shall hive completed it. in the meantime he will wiite his letter accepting uncondi tionally the nomination of the Citizens' Union. William H. Beeho. secretary of the Columbia College, said today that there was no special term of office attached to the presidency of the college. The matter was subject, he said, to the action of the board of trustees. Mr. Beebe saidtlut the aiioual salary of the president was ?13,-" 000 a year When asked whether, it President Low tendered his resignation to the board of trustees", it would be accepted.

"11 lie resigns, will hfc be taken back?" whs asked. "I don't knoWf as that Is also a matter for the trustees," baiiTMr Beebe. Mr. Beobe added that hi the event of Mr. Low tendering his resignation, T;he trustees might lt-j it on the, table, and await the result of the election origraut hlni a leave of absence. I "My personal opinion of the case is," he said, "that Mr. Low's resignation will be a great loss to the institution."

JACK TARS POR TJXCLE SAM. Gratifying Progress of Enlistments for the Navy. Lieut. Commander John M. Havlsy, U. S. N., has submitted a report to the Navy Department concerning his work in es tablishing naval rendezous on the Great Lakes His operations in the Northwest have covered a period of several weeks and enlistment stations have been estab hsned at Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth and Detroit. Altogether 157 enlistments have been made. The men secured are, according to Lieut Commander Hawley's report, intelligent mechanics and have had sea experience. Navy officers usually find that mechanics picked up on the Atlantic coast know little about the workings of a ship. The men enlisted at ports on the Great Lakes have had experience on board ship at their trades as water tenders, oilers, firemen, plumbers, etc., and are just the men needed' for service on board the modern man-of-war. New naval rendezvous will be established at Cleveland, Buffalo and other cities. Candidates for Architect. The ciyil service examination for super vising architect of the Treasury is now takmg place. .About seventy-five candi dates for the office haye already applied to take the examination, and it is believed that before September 10, when the exami nation will end, the number of candidates will reach one hundred!

ES OIL! fi DELU5I0 Dr. Uosse's Conclusions About Jlie Dreaded Hydrophobia. STATES GROUNDS OF BELIEF He Is in T.ino "With Iteeent Declara tions, of the New York Aciidemy of MecUellnc Dr. Left's Heroic Test History Quoted Ajruiut the "World's. Convictions. ' The subject of hydrophobia has recently attracted unusual and widespread atten tion, owing to the-f act that several deaths have occurred in this city, claiming as the direct cause the bita of a dog supposed to be rabid. s Thero are manypersons who bellevj with some good ground of support that no such disease ,as hydrophobia evist and it is a fact admitted by eminent medical authoi i ties that It does not appear as often as one would be led to believe by the constant killing of dogs in hot weather. Dr Irving C. Rosse, an eminent physician of Wash ington, and professor of nerous diseases in one of the medical colleges, who has given the subject of hydrophobia much study and research, haa jus-t returned from New York, where h2 attended the meeting of the Xcw York Academy of Medicine, which was convened for the purpose of discussing the subject of hydrophobia. When asked as to the result of the meet ing and his views on the subject, he said: "We decided that hydrophobia does not exist from the causes generally accepted by the public, and I don't think it will take long to prove it and thus set the public right by dispelling the delusion they have so long prevailed undr. "Various citations, ancient, foreign and current, go to show the widespread dis may and terror respecting the unseen and unrelt mischief from the ravages of mad dogs. There occurs, on the other hand, ex pression of doubts of a 'preponderating character by able physicians who look up on the dien6e miscalled hydrophobia as proceeding from the bite of a dog, as noth ing more thau.one of the instances of deJirlmenta of the learned, or a purely con tingent disease, depending for its existence upon some peculiar individual stateof mind and body or upoir the nature and seat of W"ound, independent of virus communicated by the Lute. "Dogs during August are said to be af fected worse than any other time during the heated period with rabies, and the saliva Injected by the bite is supposed to produce hydrophobia; but to disprove this belief T cite the ca"e of the celebrated Dr. Heberdeen, who at the age of ninety one, in .full practice in London, declares he never saw the disease arising from the bite of a rabid animal. He mentions havimr witnessed the principal symptoms of hydrophobia, namely, the extreme dread of liquids; also the case of an English surgeon, Dr. Lee, who was an authority on this question. He went so far to prove. the non-existence of hydrophobia as to in oculate himself with the saliva of a rabid dog. He failed to experience any of the feelings said to occur from Its injection. "I have come across exponents of the medical mind who go back to the Homeiic era, and to the time of Celllus Aurelianus, who taught that the disease may develop In man in a spontaneous manner, without the inoculation of the saliva from a rabid dog. "My position is an unenviable one, when I assume to controvert a long established deluJon and ppear on the minority side of this question, but if doubting men had never sot faces against false belief and torn away the veil of darkness many of our citizens of Massachusetts would still testify In cases as to the existence ofthe evil eye and to have seen witches riding blooms through the air.

In Asia Minor and Constantinople, the home of pariah dogs, one never hears of hydrophobia. In Japan and Korea, the latter possessing more dogs than any other country, such a thing as hydrophobia is unhear-1 of. London, with its five and a hit million Inhabitants, had but one case reported, tint in 1S92. The statistics of New York for thirty five years show nine jear in which no deaths occurred and for two successive years not a caee was reported. "Dr. Landau Carter Gray, one of the best-known physicians of New Ycrk. during the discussion of this subject before the Medic.tl Societj said that there was not a neurologist in New York who had ever seen a case during his practice- that very few physicians In the country hud seen one, and that he, during his twentj years of practice, had seen but one, and would not swear to that. Drs. Blrdsall Loon.is, Byrom and Spitzka, all eminent in the u.edical profession, declared In sim'l.tr terms that hydrophobia doe nut exirt and read papers to that effect before the society. "Dr C. W. Dulles, in a recent report to the Medical Society of Pennhjlvania, said: "Most of the cases alleged to be hydrophobia are utterly incredible and wholly spurious; that In France, the hot bed of hjdrophonia and other neurosca, more people die from the Patteur treat ment tha 11 used to die formerly from hy drophobia ' "The chief reason for skepticism In regard to this batllj elucidated disease is the faulty nature of the evidence. Many or the alleged cases, when thoroughly sifted, resolve themselves into some dis tinct, recognizable disease, generallj hysterical or nervous, in which terror and expectant attention are tho main factors. Postmortem examinations have often dispelled alarming announcements of hjdrophobia outbreaks and -j;enerally these sensational discoveries turn out to be something else-after such examina tions. ".Recent advanced study of nervous dis eases show the lower order of aniuials to be subjected to many of the same diseases that afflict the human being. Dogs are tubject to small-pox and may be pro tected by vaccination. Besides, they hae dreams, illusive transformations, epileps-, and delirium. The last named may be easily mistaken for what Is called hydro phobia." Referring to the Pasteur treatment and whether it had been the means of curing alleged cases" of hydrophobia, Dr. Rosse said: "As to Pasteur's anti-rabies vaccination, tho statistics both in this country and abroad do not warrant a statement of definite results. Many persons who have been inoculated after the method have died, I believe, from direct influences of the treatment. Still their deaths have been charged to hjdrophobia. The statistics of France show a greater mortality record from hydrophobia since the introduction of the Pasteur treatment than ever before. The introduction of the infallable meth od has failed to eradicate or prevent rabies in dogs, and in no part of the world has it diminished the numbcrof deathsclaimed as hydrophobia. "The popular impression of this badly elucidated disease derived by the public is from the exaggerated, reckless and Ir responsible accounts given by sensational newspapers. "If all the cases of hydrophobia exist it Is a curious fact that there has never been a claimant for the largemoney award offered by various kennel clubs and prom inent phjslcmns to anyone producing a well-authenticated case of hydrophobia in man or beast. "Another mistake that Is usually made is that when a person is bitten the first impulse Is that the dog bhould be iramed!- atcly killed. When this is done they destroy the only means of proof and to make a proper diagnosis. 93S Pa.
