rLAS or TIE CRY.

JSN rLAS OF TIE CITY. s.s..
Late in tho summer of 1891 Major Pierre
Charles LEnfant, a'French engineer who
had been appointed to draw tho rlan of
the new Federal town, paid Washington
a visit at Mount Vernon, and in 4 short
time altcrwarl he produced map oi the
projected city, which made the broad
plateau in the eastern section the site oi
the Capitol" and placed the Executive
Mansion and other public buildings a mile
distant from that. by asl,ington's. re-
quest, the central structure. The plan
laid down in L'Eniant's map was m.
proved, and he was engaged to superii,-
tend its execution, - s,s;,s5
~ WASHINGTON IN 1900. ~
The Government was transferred from
Philadelplln to the young city in October,
1890, to the intense annoyance and disgust
OF everybody concerned in the removal,
Mrs. Adams spoke OF Washington MS .sthis
wilderness city, and dried the linen Of
the Presidential household in the Eayl
Room Of the White House, The grounds Of
the mansion being too rough for the pur-
pose. The spiciest description o. Tic
Washington ;ui lSUO is that written by
Secretary Wulcott in n letter to his wife:
/" There arehnt few houses in any place,
and most Of them are small, miserable
Iiuts, WITCH present an awful contrast to
the public; buildings. The people nrc
poor, and, MS far as Lean judge, live like
fishes, by eating each other" When
Congress mctin- Washington for the first
time its prevailing utterances were q

found themselves. And no wonder. But

Add to this state of affairs the railroad
Generalization and also the low price Of
farm products and along with it the dis
appointments of the dry goods trade and

that the business situation does not look

TIE CAUSES OF pErEAr.

IT. was interesting to hear ut Republican
Headquarters at the Victoria Hotel this
morning tho various theories as TO how
these votes and great many more beside
were lost. Among those who were pres.
ent and took part in the conversation were
Walker Blaine, Alexander Sullivan and
Stephen b. Elkins. twas generally agreed
that l'urehard's speech, for one thing,
had cost Mr.. Blaine tho Presidency, and
some one said that this was ut least the
second time in history when the jawLoue
OF an ass had done great execution. |
could not help but notice how little of re-
elimination there WIS upon anybody Or
anything in the Expressions, of Mr.. Eliips,
although there is not perhaps in the
United States man who more thoroughly
regrets the result. lie maintained the
same placid expression of rountenance
and apparent equanimity OF mind and
mild tome OF conversation that have wit
nessel nnon nll occasions ut headquarters
during the canvass. '--4.
EFFECT OF TIE RESULT on THE SOUTH.
Another theme OF conversation was as
to the effect tho result would have upon
the South. One. gentleman. present.wllo
had been much in the South thought that
the immediate. effect, whatever might
happen in the future, would be the pract-
cal disintegration OF the Republican party
and the dropping back into the Democratic
party OF very many men who were close
upon the verge Of leaving it, and who
would have soon left it in case OF Repub-
lican SUCCESS this time, on the theory
that q Solid South against Solid North
was both unrepnblican and unayailing.
BUSINESS DEPRESSION. ..
AS to the effect on business throughout
the country, 1Ir. Sullivan thought it
would take away the prop Of confidence
among manufacturers to which they.had
held on throughout the depression Of The
canvass, and let prices sink to still lower
level At all events, there would now be
if possible a more prohounced season Of
stagnation in trade. This view is seem
ingly confirmed by dispatches in the
Tribune from various manufacturing CEN
ters East and West. Several days ago Mr..
Weeks said that he looked for very blue
winter at Pittsburgh. John Slagle said to
me recently that he liad bought 5, 900 tons
OF pig iron delivered ut Pittsburgh for sic
per ton, out Of which he could not now
get his money This was before the re-
suit OF the election was known. You will
notice that Southern iron is being pressed
upon the Eastern markets, Weakening the
already weak price. This, too, with over
90 percent OF the furnaces Of the country
out OF blast. AS -;

A War of Words Only.

Quite scene transpired in the ante
room adjoining the city council chamber
just after the adjournment OF the special
session last night. As Alderman Stahl was
emerging from The chamber he was taken
to task by Collector Landmann, concerning
a statement made during the evening 10
the effect that the collector had been neg
ligent in his duty regarding the collection
of delinquent taxes. Both were consider
ably worked up, and il was thought at one
time that the affair would end in gore.
They finally cooled down, however, and de-
parted for their homes.

A few DAYS ago young German named
Henry Boetger who is employed by Richey
Bros, the furnit re dealers, was taken sick
with typhoid fever, at the residence OF
VIM. Hartman, a teamster, with whom
he boarded Ever since his sickness, the
youug mau has been treated In most in
human manner BY Hartman and his vile,
they 10; on V refusing to administer to his
waists and letting him lay In room in
which there was no fire, but going SO far as
to take the covering from The bed on which
he lay and terrOrizing him by threatening
to turn him out IN the street. This they
probably would have done had it not been
for the Interference # the police who
threatened TO arrest them provided they
did so.
Yesterday the mat er was Trough. to the
attention OF the firm by whom the young
mau is employed, and they furnished him
with a new bed and Bidding. They also
provided some fuel to keep he room warm.
The Odd Fellws of whom young Berger
is member, have tsken the matter In
band and will see that his wsnts are look
ed after IN the future. Ii is u pity that
there is not some law uuder which such ia
human beings could be prosecute!.
