A List Of Suitable Old Exhibits SUBJ
mitted to Congress.

letter has been received by the House in
response to the resolution from the military
committee asking for list of exhibits suitable
for national military and naval museum at
Washington. A large number of ordnance ar

Many of them have seen service in the Mexi

at the battle Of Tippecanoe, is
among them. There is also the British flag
surrended by Lord CORVALLIS at Yorktown.
Many American flags carried during the rebel

HOW TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS NIGHT HAVE BEEN
MADE, But WAS NoT-A TRANSACTION BIZ WHICH
THE COMMISSIONERS CLAIM TO HAVE LOST MONEY
By DEPARTING FROM THEIR OLD PRACTICES.
The District Commissioners, as announced,
have completed the purchase of the property
to be added to the school site already owned by
the District in Montgomery street, George
town. 1t does not appear that there was any
middleman or agent in this case who made a
large profit. The sale has been contaminated
since the publications in The STAR relating
to the methods followed in purchasing
school sites. There were two adjoining
pieces Of ground purchased. one from Chas. H.
Cragin as trustee, for which 1880 was paid,
and the other from Charles r. Fields for % 600
trict government office as showing how
the District has been q loser by the change
made in the methods of purchase made, when
HE STAR called attention to some of the Pc
culiar real estate deals" 1t is asserted
that Mr.. Cragin advanced $500 on his piece
and Mr.. Fields S600, which the Commissioners
were obliged to pay in order to secure the
property. There is an interesting story
connected with this sale, which
will probably be brought out
In the congressional inquiry. This story re-
Iates to Mr.. Fields property. 1t is true
sioners at first for $1,000 Mr.. Cox
secured sixty-day option on it by depositing
S25. This option expired, however. When
the matter was preached again Mr.. Fields
agent asked S2,6O0
The agent told a STAR reporter to-day that
MIR: Fields had received an offer of %, 600
and could not sell it to the District
for less. While these transactions were
pending, as a STAR reporter was informed.
MIR. Cox proposed that he should have
halt the commission to be received by
Mr.. Fields agent This, the agent, Mr..
j. j. Bogue refused to give. Subsequently, il
Is asserted, Mr.. Cox sent him a deed to have
his client sign, in which the consider
alton named was $4,000, or $4,000 more
than was asked, saying that Mr.. Bogue could,
If he did this, keep his commission and more
too. Persons who know of the transaction say
that the District, if the affair had gone on with
out interference would have paid 1900 more
than the owner Of this part of the ground pur-
chased asked or was to get.
THE EXPOSURES
in The STAR, however, brought the trans
action to an end. When a STAR re-
porter asked Mr.. Bogue about the
transaction to-day Mr.. Bogue declined
to give the facts, on the ground that he was a
friend of Mr.. Cox, and did not care to help
push him down." There was. he said, q big
scheme in it, and considerable money could
have been made by some one if the thing had
not been stopped. He had the papers, he said,
which show the whole case, but he declined to
give them to The STAR for publication.

The Monroe Doctrine.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEE IN FAFoR OF THE
EDMUNDs RESOLUTION. .-ssr2
There is little room to doubt that the House
foreign affairs committee will meet the action
of the Senate committee on the Somoan
question in full sympathy, and will
be ready to take as vigorous action
and will 60 as far to maintain the dignity Of
this country. The position Of Chairman
McCreary and majority, if not all
the members, of the committee
on the Panama resolution asserting the Mon
roe doctrine, indicates their policy To-mor-
row this resolution will be again taken up and
it is hoped that unanimous report will be
had upon it.
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE,
Mr.. McCrary, said to STAR reporter
to-day, that he was heartily in favor
of the Edmunds Panama resolution,
because he favored firm, vigorous,
and dignified foreign policy, and this resolu-
ton was the declaration of such policy. He
had no doubt that the House would pass the
resolution promptly. He felt some delicacy
in speaking of the Samoan matter since it was
now in the hands of the State department,
but he said he did not think there would be
any war. Such a foreign policy as
he described, he thought, would bring
about diplomatic settlement. A firm vigor-
GUS, and dignified foreign policy, that would
indicate that we knew what our rights we're and
were ready to assert and defend them, he
thought would settle these questions without
war,

The American minister Monday afternoon
had his last official interview with Lord Sails
bury at the foreign Office. imagine, there
fore. the British foreign minister now under
stands that the departure Of Mr.. Phelps from
England at this moment is not due to the fact
that a republican President will be inaugurated
next March. Many Englishmen suppose Mr.
Harrison is already installed in the White
House. Lord Salisbury is better informed
He knows that Mr.. Phelps would, naturally
have remained here another two months The
foreign Office people know it too, and they
know that Mr.. Phelps goes home because the
British legation at Washington is vacant. This
useful knowledge will gradually filter down
derstood here by the time Mr.. Phelps steps on
board the steamer at Southampton that the
diplomatic affront offered the American gov
eminent by Lord Salisbury has been resented
in the correct diplomatic way.
Mr.. Phelps conduct throughout this difficult
business has been, so far an outsider has
means of judging, energetic in more directions
than one. He has shown frmness and courage
He appreciated the delicacy of the situation
from the beginning of the Sackville incident
and he has never, think, varied in his view
of what ought to be done. Americans have to
thank him for his unfinching insistance upon
an American view. Americans in London sin
cerely regret his growing, and none more SO
than those who have urged it as the only means
by which the American government could ex-
press its opinion of Lord Salisbury's conduct.
