The landlords say that while they are
and will remain willing TO reduce indi-
Vldual rents, according 10 the exigencies

mined 10 absolutely decline 70 recognize

FDMUNDs' RrAsONTNG.

1t is stated that MIR. Edmunds will not
hold in this report, that the Senate has
right TO the Presidents reasons for sus-
pending officials, and even TO his reasons
for making appointments, but he will hold
that all the papers in regard 10 both sus-
pensions and appointments belong to the
CUSTODY Of the heads OF the Departments,
aud not OF the President, as such are
plainly within the control OF the Senate,
the President having no more right TO
question its reasons for requesting such
papers than the Senate has
to question his reasons for
making suspensions. Tine fallacy
in the reasoning OF Mr.. Edmunds, lies m
the claim that the Senate mas right TO
papers throwing light on suspension,
when they are asked for, either as such,
or as furnishing a basis for legislation.
Meanwhile the Republican Senators are
neglecting TO confirm nominations which
are not made in the place OF suspended
officials, and 70 which they have no objec-
ton. Their attitude Ia regard 10 these
nominations Is simply indefensible.

A TRIUMPH OF SKILL.
A Large Hotel in Boston and It's Occupants
Moved without Injury.

Scientific American.
At a recent meeting of the Engineers
club of Philadelphia, the secretary read a
detailed description of the moving of the
Hotel Pelham, at fremont and Boylston
streets, Boston, for the purpose Of widen
ing fremont street. This hotel is built
Of freestone and brick, ninety-six and
sixty-nine feet frontage. The Boylston
street wall is supported on eight granite
columns twelve feet high, three and four
feet square. There is basement and
seven stories above the sidewalk
Height above tramways on which
1t was moved, ninety-six feet. Weight
5000 tons, exclusive of furniture5 which
was not disturbed during the removal, as
also were not the occupants OF the stores
on the first floor and some of the rooms,
the various pipe connections being kept
up with flexible tubes. Careful expert
ments with models showed that If the
lower part of the building was firmly
braced there was no danger OF shifting In
the parts above. The general arrange
ments consisted Of heavy and substantial
stone and brick foundations for iron rails
and rollers, and the building was forced
to It's new position by flfty-six screws,
two inches in diameter, half inch pitch,
operated by hand against timbers ar.
ranged to uniformly distribute the pres
sure against the building. Much care
and ingenuity were displayed in
the details in the arrange
ment and work. Two months and
twenty days were occupied in prepare
ton. The moving itself was begun on
August2l, and finished on August 25, but
the actual time OF moving was but thIr,
teen hours and forty minutes. The great.
est speed was two inches In four min.
utes. The hotel moved about one-eighth
OF an inch at each quarter turn OF the
screws. The whole distance moved was
thirteen feet ten inches. -Four thousand
three hundred and Hfty-one days. labor
ware required foIlthe work. The whole
cost was about $4,000. This is the
largest building that has ever been re-
moved, although larger ones have been
raised, which latter is much simpler
and much less risky operation. The
complete success of this undertaking is
shown by the fact that cracks, which ex.
listed in the walls prior to removal, were
not changed by the operation. Paper was
pasted over them before commencing,
that any change might be seen.
