PRETTY PROSPECT.
The President nought and Paid for the Prop


erty with His Own Money.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA statement has been
published accusing President Cleveland of being
interested in grand real estate speculation en-
gineered by men whom he has appoint ted to Office
here in the District Among other things it is
intimated that the President is not a bona fde
purchaser of the Pretty Prospect" home, or, in
other words that he has not paid anything for
the property. These statements certainly do the
chiof magistrate an injustice. The facts con-
nected with the purchase Of Pretty Prospect"
are simply these The President, just before his
marriage, determined to procure home for him
self and wife outside of the White House, which
at best is only suitable for an executive Office
and as place to entertain on state
occasions, and so like sensible man, he finally
selected and bought pretty Prospect" its man
sion and twenty-eight acres of land-bought it
with his own money and paid for it with check
on Riggss Bank, and this check, when the prop
erty was transferred to the President, was hand
ed to its former owner, and this is all there was
of the transaction.
Right here the real estate speculation began.
Real estate brokers' began to boom suburban
property. improved and unimproyed in the
neighborhood of the Presidents country home
predictions were undoubtedly among the
boomers. The "boom" does not boom very well,
at least the telephone has not been
called into reQuistion to transmit to real
estate brokers orders from would be
purchasers of this suburban property. To
help it along the District Commissioners were
pettioned to extend Massachusetts avenue-one
of the broadest and finest residence thorough
fares in the city-way out to the neiehborhood
of Pretty Prospect" OF course objections to
this project came from many directions from
property owners along the line of the proposed
extension within the city limits, for if the bill
goes through they will be taxed for what they
regard as an unnecessary improvement; objec-
tions also came from real estate dealers inter-
ested in suburban property lying in other dis
tricts, but the objections of the latter might be
quieted if the Commissioners would decide to ex-
tend the city avenues out toward their ground
The President, a supposed interested party,
when told by the Commissioners of the proposed
observation-disclosures extension, at once ex-
pressed himself in words that conveyed anything
but approval of the project.

Murder Caused by Jealousy.

SAN JOSE, Cal Nov. AT late hour last
night Owen o. Leggett, an artist and son of
wealthy parents in England, was shot and in
stantly killed by John Clark. twenty year-old
lad employed on a ranch in the mountains near
Madron. On the ranch was young girl with
whom Clark was deeply enamored. Leggett
while sketching in the hills last June, stopped
at the ranch. and on several occasions chatted
pleasantly with the young girl. This so enraged
Clark that he followed Leggett to this city and
attacked him in the street For this he was ar
rested, found insane and sent to the asylum. He
was discharged two months ago, and mme-
diately set to work to find Leggett who he be-
leved had caused him to be sent to the asylum
He met him on the streets last night, when he
drew revolver and shot him dead. He was in
stantly placed in Jail 1t is said that Leggett's
father is a colonel in the British army.

bly, There May Be Tie.
WASHINGTON. Nov 6.-The Star, this even
ng, figures out probable tie in the Senate after
the Sd of next March. 1t says:
ION the Sd of next March the terms of six
teen Republican and nine Democratic Senators
will expire OF the sixteen Republicans who
Will retire twelve will certainly be succeeded by
men of the same party Messrs. Sherman,
Aldrich and Edmunds have been reelected, and
ths legislatures of Connections, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are Republican.
The Democrats lose one of the nine whose terms
expire-Fair, of Nevada-and are secure
Of the remainder. So that, if the
legislatures OF California. Indiana and
New Jersey prove to be Democratic the result of
the change in the Senate after the Sd of March,
will be net loss of three to the Republicans a
Democrat having been chosen To succeed Ma
hone from Virginia. The present Senate stands
forty-one Republicans, thirty-tour Democrats
and one Readiuster (Riddleberger) but Senator
VanWyck comes back from Nebraska as peo-
pies representative. He made his fight before
the whole people. and won OH the issue of oppos-
tlon to corporations. During his present term
ne has not hesitated on occasions to antagoniZe
his party, and under the conditions of his re- cleo
ton he may be more independent still. Leaving
VanWyck and Riddleberger, out of the
count, the next Senate will stand,
provided the Democrats secure the three
doubtful States mentioned-37 Republicans, 81
Oeuocrats. mus MeSSrs an WycK ana It'd
dleberger would hold the balance of power. In
connection with this probable situation, it is
fact worth mentioning that both VanWyck and
Riddleberger have given evidences of q kindly
feeling for the administration. In the event of
any conflict between the executive and the Sen
ate the two votes from Nebraska and Virginia
would determine the issue. Van Wyck and
Rlddleberger would have it in their power. by
cooperating with the Democrats, to organize the
Senate, or, should VanWyck vote with the Re-
publicans and Riddleherger with the Democrats
on the question Of organization there would be
a tie and there is no Vice president to throw
the deciding vote

Paris Surgeon Succeeds in Achieving An
other Triumph in Pneumotomy.
PARIS, Nov 6-The hospitals and medical
schools are full OF marvellous, though not quite
unprecedented, surgical operation, by which an
Algerian doctor, Prengraeber, has just saved the
life of child in the last stages of consumption.
The little girl, aged twelve, was brought to the
Hospital Trousseau wasted almost to skeleton
The nurses and doctors were so touched by her
sutferings that they declared that death would
be mercy. After long hesitation, DIR. Prem
graeber decided to risk an operation. First
chloroforming the child, he made a cruciform in
cision between the fifth and sixth right ribs, and
burned out three cubic centimeters of the dis
eased portion of the lung with redhot iron.
In three weeks the wound healed, and the blood
coursed healthily through the child's veins. She
picked up, the flesh grew strong, and she was
sent home cured. In the enthusiasm aroused
by thi8 surgical achievement many people imag-
ined tfat we had now a sure means of conquer
ing consumption. This is not the opinion of
most authorities, notably DR.. Verneuil. On be-
ing QuestionedSon the subject, DR.. Verneuil said
that nothing new had been accomplished. Pneu-
motomy had been tried before. Another surci-
cal triumph had been recorded, that was all.

Ensland,s Money-Grasplug Princes.

London Truth,
1t seems to me that the time has arrived when
manifestly fair and proper reform in connec-
ton with payments to the royal family should
be carried out. A ministerial pension is always
in allowance when it's holder is in Office, and re-
cipients of military or naval-service pensions do
not get them when employed. 1t is, therefore,
only right that when Prince is appointed to a
salaried Office the amount of his pay should be
deducted from the income granted him by Par
lament. The Duke of Connaught holds the
Rawal Pindii command. which, believe is
worth about $4,000 year. Surely, therefore,
this amount should be deducted from the $125,
600 year which he receives from the country;
and the same rule should also apply to the Duke
of Edinburgh while he holds command of the
Mediterranean squadron. It comes very hard
deserving officers of both services to find all
the best berths given to the royalties, who grab
the public money with both hands, holding out
one for their exorbitant allowances and the
other for the pay or salary attached to their

the rule heretofore followed. The banks have
shown considerable diligence in acting under this

drawn from deposit and presented for redemp-
tion nearly $40 900, 900 of per cent bonds since
the 18th of August, the date of the first
600 call. At the same rate, hereafter,
it is expected that Withdrawals will keep pace
very fairly with future calls Against the

have been only about $8, 600, 900 of other bonds
deposited, so that the total bonds on deposit to
secure national bank circulation have been re.
duced by about $31 900, 900, which contracts the
circulation by $2800O0O0 If these pro
portions are pr. throughout the changes

LONDON, Nov 6.-During the whole of this

Lord Chancellor-Lord St Leonards The auc-
ton sale was held at Boyle farm, pretty way
side place, which was built by the old Bowie
family hundred or more years ago, and sold by
them to pay the debts Of the famous gambling
lord, De Ros. 1t was now resold by order of the
Court of Chancery on account of the debts and
other troubles of the present notorious Lord st.

court and has wide and beautiful river front

The house is of the Georgian times fat

grounds, although neglected, pretty enough
to make up for the deficiencies of the house.
Both are rather famous among the country
neighbors for the wild pranks committed here
by the present lord. To this house came the un-

grandson is now forced to live in Austfa ALA on

ent lord held some of his widest sprees from
one of which he went to commit the assault on
tavern chambermaid, which sent him to Jail
for six months This felony enabled his wife,
great heiress in her own right, to procure di-

and per cent of the circulation surrendered
making 14A per cent upon the face of the bonds
On the 18th of August the total amount of 1
per cent. bonds held by the banks as basis fof
circulation was a little more than Sl03, 600, 900,
so that, when these bonds are all paid, theix
payment will put in circulation s14. 500, 900 moro
than the amount of currency then outstanding
on these bonds.
The redemption of nationa-bank notes is a
very slow process. The last report of the Treas
urer showed that he was holding $50, 900. 900
lawful money for the redemption of outstanding
bank circulation, and, of course, the more rapid

the amount required to be held in the Treasury
