WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE.

The Methods Used by the Dealers
to Boom 1t.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Tribune says that real estate in Washing
ton is very high just now. The rent
asked for houses of all kinds is quite out
of proportion to the value of the property
1t is in many instances fully Is per cent
of what the houses, ii sold, could brirg1u
the market now. SuspiciOusly high prices
are also reported to have been paid of late
for certain kinds of property. These sums
are fictitious ones only designed to de-
ceiye new investors aud those anxious to
settle permanently in the capital at all
hazards and promptly. Thus [ have il
on very good authority that 1t has become
the custom to give purchaser two deeds.

safe, the other to be placed on record and
for pu blicatiOn in the local newspapers.
The latter, OF course, mentions fabulous
price as having been paid for the prop.

house IN one Of the FASHIONABLE neigbhor-
hoods OF the town, as the record deed
asserted, for $4,000. | knew that the
man was unable 10 afford the luxury Of
such house, and upon little inquiry
found that the price actually paid by MIN
for the property was only $4,000. Au-
other ms ance is that OF certain mil

day, n stable near his house. What he
paid Tor the stable Was $4,000. yet when
the sale was announced and the record

others, augur very poorly for the condi-

SPECIAL AGENT OSBORA'S REPORT.

SPECiAL AGEN1 OoOOHNo AEI OhIs
THE TRIBUNE this morning gives ample
space to the emphatic denials made by APP
praiser McMullen and the New York importers
of cutlery, who were attacked In the startling
report submitted to the Treasury Department
by W. II. Osborn, the special agent who was
appointed to investigate the import ations of
foreign cutlery. THE TRIBUNE's only desire in
this, as In every other matter, Is to render equal
and exact Justice to all. The Appraiser and the
importers certainly make pointed and vigorous
answers to Mr.. OsbOrn's statements, and they
accuse him of the gravest Misrepresentation.
1t Is the clear duty of the Treasury Depart
ment to give the whole st bject the most thor
Ough and unsparing examination. 1t cannot be
denied that American manufacturers have been
seriously damaged and In many cases driven
out of business by tie fraudulent undervalua-
tons practised by importers. This Is true not
only of the cutlery trade bnt also of many
other branches Of business. The explanations
and statements Of cutlery importers should be
weighed fairly and without prejudice 1t may
be that Mr.. Osborn has dealt blows wildly and
recklessly. The Appraiser and the importers
cannot be condemned on the report of any one
man, even though he Is an expert. But OF the
existence of extensive undervaluations In cut-
lery importations there can be no serious dis
pute that these frauds have worked the gray
est injury to an i'm pOrtant American industry
Is equally beyOn question. Now the Treasury
department. must find remedy and apply it.

WOUADE'S CONVICTION.

The iury on the second trial Of cx-Alderman
McQuade, in promptly convicting the defend
ant drew the only conclusion that intelligent
and wen-instructed men could derive from the
evidence submitted to them. The only doubt
that has ever existed in McQuade's case was
not as to his guilt, but as to the possibility OF
obtaining jurors free from entangling alliances
with the politicians and other men OF wealth
and influence who were interested in prevent
ing conviction. Any result Of the trial other
than that which was reached would have been
disastrous to every hope Of securing purcr
administration of local affairs.
The public and the jury are not the only
persons to be congratulated on this verdict.
The conviction is a personal victory for the
District Attorney and for Assistant District
Attorney Nicoll, who has had charge Of the
prosecution Of the Aldermen. and has devoted
eight months of unusual effort TO obtain this
result. The clear and forcible charge Of
Recorder Smyth, which impressed upon the
jurors high sense Of their duties and RESPONSE
bilities, had large share in preventing dis
agreement. No more just and careful instruc-
tons could have been given to jury in such
q case than those which tho Recorder laid be-
fore the Jurors in his charge.
The evidence which convicted McQuadc bears
with equal weight against O'Neil, Clcary and
Reilly. The District Attorney has well accom-
plshcd an important duty in trying McQuade,
and the conviction of others OF the gang OF
public thieves should follow soon.

OPERATE CONSOLIDATION DENIED.

The directors Of the Metropolitan Opera House have
felt themselves called upon TO issue public and official
disclaimer Of all association with the American National
Opera Company, and yesterday did in the following
language:
Metropolitan Opera House directors having the most
friendly feelings toward the American Opera Company,

Further than this the Metropolitan Opera House has

Tho touching the consolidation OF the two op

OF individual desires doubtless sprang from the reports
that were current the close OF the last German

negotiations between the American Opera and MetropOi
tan Companies. The fact that the former having
concluded a contract with the Acade ny directors,

that the facts in the that the American Com

TOO MANY EXPERTS.

There appears to be singular disposition on
the part of members Of the Aqueduct Com
mission to employ experts to advise the
Commission in regard to matters which it ought
to be competent to decide On itself. AT its
meeting yesterday experts were employed
to advise tho Commission concerning the
ACCESSIBILITY of constructing the stuDendous
Quaker Bridge Dam. The city has already
paid about $4,000 for expert testimony on
this question In addition the Commission heard
cyidence for weeks and months on the subject.
The members are not so overburdened with
work that they cannot inform themselves
without employing moro experts. at heavy
expense to the city, for the purpose OF advising
them 10 regard TO II.
At a previous meeting the Commissioners
decided to employ experts to ADVISE them in
respect to the question of light and ventilation.
Experts were employed last spring to report on
this very question. The result Of their labors
