The Sharon Estate Making Heavy Invest
ments In Real Estate.
WASHINGTON, November Sth.-A notable
sale of suburban property has just been
completed. Thomas j. Fisher & Co., in
connection with o. G. Green, has sold to
the Sharon estate the country place of Jas.
c. Busey for $4,000 cash. This place is
located on the Woodley Lane road, about
opposite the late residence of ex-President
Cleveland. The property comprises twen-
ty-nine acres. and the price per acre was
therefore 81 ,000.5It is one of a series OF pur-
chases which have been made recently for
the estate.
As is well known, the late ex-senator
Sharon for some years before his death was
an extensive owner of real estate in this
city, and the bulk of it was originally pur-
chased about the year 1871 by Judge Sun.
derland, who, in connection with Judge
Hillyer and Senator Stewart, consti-
tuted the famous California syndicate whose
extensive investment in real estate here
nearly twenty years ago was the sensation
of that day. The land has become very
valuable and the demand for it has re-
suited in the rapid sales recently.
Since last spring Thomas ]. Fisher g. Co.
have sold over $500, eco worth of property
of Sharon holding in this CITY. The Sharon
estate owns property in the suburbs of the
city which represent an investment of over
S., 0O0,0 O0. 1t is the intention to develop
this property, and work is now in progress
of building an electric railroad. Money
will be expended in other ways. so that the
Sharon estate will be an important factor
in the future development of the suburbs.
One of the heirs of the Sharon estate,
Francis G. Newlands, is personally an ex-
tensive owner of real estate here. Last
spring he bought the country place of ex-
President Cleveland.

Stamboul Trots in 2;12 LIZ.
San FRANCISCO, November sth.-At the
Bay District track, to-day, Palo Alto failed
to break his record of 2:121.
The first eighth was passed in :16. Around
to the quarter Marvin took him back a
little, and the pole was passed in 1881. The
three-eighths was reached in 80.
About the middle of the backstretch
Marvin called on the stallion, but he

feet and INDUCED in fifty-yard run before
astrous, for the horse lost much ground,
and when the half was passed the watches
registered 1:072.
Upon striking the lower turn there was
a slight improvement, and under restraint
the three-quarters were negotiated in 1:414.
The drive down the stretch commenced
with Marvin urging the horse to his ut
most, and Dustin hurrying him up with a
runner alongside.
An efforts, however, were futile, and he
finished the mile in 2:l4S, time thus prov
ing the victor.
The great event of the day was the trial
of Stamboul, who trotted the mile in 2:123
Vida Wilkes lowered her record of 2;22S

Unequal Distribution of wealth..

The law, ito him that hath shall be
given" antedates the stone tables of Sinai.
1t is in the very nature of things. 1t is
the greatest of all forces which produce
gross inequalities in the distribution of
wealth. The history of almost every
enormous fortune shows this statement to
be true. The first million, or two millions,
or three millions, are made slowly and
painfully. After that the increase is at a
continually accelerated ratio. This is due
mainly to the fact that very large "good
things are being continually offered at
low price, provided the purchaser can tske
them at once and for cash. There is
scarcely any limit to such opportunities,
especially in a new and rapidly growing
county.
Next to this cause, speculation is the
largest force making for inequality in the
distribution of wealth. Untold millions
pass every year in this way.-FmHuH

Chancellor Won Capriyi Talks Of tn
Objects of His Visit to Italy.

Chancellor Won Capriyi Talks of the
Objects of His Visit to Italy.
Copyright by New York Associated Press, $780,
Capriyi, who has been visiting Milan, this
morning received deputation of German
residents of the city, who presented an
address. In replying, the Chancellor spoke
in terms of unofficial frankness of the OBJ
jects and results of his meeting with the
Italian Prime Minister. He congratulated
the visitors upon living in a beautiful
country which was the center of art in
terest, and under a Government that
was linked with that of Germany by q
policy of peace. His interviews with Sig
nor Crispi, he said, cemented and perfected
the entente of the Dreibund. He had no
anxiety as to the immediate future. and
was confident that peace would be main
tanned for long time to come.
The Chancellor did not go to any length
in disclosing the issue of the discussion of
Crispi's demand that the Emperor of Aus
tria return King Humbert's visit by going
to Rome. The relations between the Ital-
ian Court and the Government of Austria
had been further strained by advices from
the Italian ambassador at Vienna that
Cardinal Galimberti. Papal Nuncio, has
been operating with Emperor Francis
Joseph, through the Emperor and Arch
duke, to break her connection with Italy.
The Ritoryaa of Rome contrived to get
hold of dispatches from Cardinal Calm
berti to the Pope, reporting progress in
diplomacy leading to isolate the Italian
Government. The authenticity of the dis
patches has not been denied.
Prime Minister Crispi has been for long
time urging that the Emperor of Austria
ought to return King Humbert's visit. He
now insists upon Austrian recognition of
Rome as the capital of Italy BY the EN-
perors going to Quirinal.
Official belief here is that Chancellor Won
Caprivi started with authority to soothe
Signor Crispi and King Humbert by q
promise that the Emperor of Austria
would go to Rome in the spring. Com
munications from Count Kalnoky, Austro-
Hungarian Prime Minister, received before
the Chancellor left, it is understood, an.
nounoed that Emperor Francis Joseph
would submit in the event of Signor Crispi
maintaining that his reception in Rome is
necessary for the continuance of the triple
alliance. Crispis remarks indicate that
the affair has been settled as Signor Crispi
demands.
The reports that the Chancellor mooted
combined reprisa!s against the United
States because of the Mckinley bill, is IN
founded. The Austrian papers are still
laundering after retaliation, although nego-
tiations here for q commercial coalition
resulted in utter failure. Italy is the least
affected by the bill Of any European State.
She would not risk offending America to
satisfy doubtful ally.
The Chancellor will return in time to
prepare fol- the opening of the Landtag.

AT THE CAPITAL.
The Late Elections the Topic of Copver-
sation

WASHINGTON, November Sth.-This is
the liveliest political town in the country
lust now. The interest which in the States
eliminated in the last days of election is
transferred to the National Capital, and
from the present moment until the next
President has been six months in office
there is likely to be no lack of gossip. The
politicians are already turning their faces
towards this city. and all OF them have
something interestingto say.
Senator Sherman of Ohio reached the
city yesterday evening. THE women did
it." was his laconic reason for the tidal
wave. They found prices higher when
they went shopping and the men had to
vote against the tariff BILL"
Senator Hawley of Connecticut also ar
rived yesterday from his trip home to vote,
and was in cheerful mood. He says that
the Connecticut Legislature is surely Re-
publican; that Senator Plat will be re-
turned, and the Republican party will re-
trieve its losses in 1892.
Senator Chandler was heard from by
telegraph to-day, and asserts that the New
Hampshire Legislature is Republican.
Nor do the Democrats seem able to e1-
tract much consolation from the defeat of
Senator Ingalls,, for private dispatch from
Governor Humphrey of Kansas says that
the successor of Ingalls, would be Repub-
lican. This would indicate that the
Farmers Alliance men, who are pledged to
vote against Ingalls,, are not willing TO go
to the extreme of voting for Democrat. !.
Gossips about the House relates, first of
of all, to the Speakership. Representative
Mills in the field, and this puts new COM
plexion on the face of things, and the can
didacy of other aspirants for the honor is
somewhat imperiled. Mills election would
seem to be the logical result of the existing
condition of affairs. and he fought the
fight when Mr.. Morrison had left the con-
test unfinished, and his admirable manage
ment of the tariff legislation in the Fiftieth
Congress will be remembered to his credit.
AS he was the recognized leader on the
floor when Carlisle was Speaker, it is but
natural for him to suppose that his party
will honor him, now that an opportunity
to do so has come.
DIR. 3. II. Graham has Just returned
from Ohio. He says that the campaign in
district was the most exciting
one he has ever witnessed in the State.
All sorts of tricks were resorted to, and
money flowed freely as water. The Demo-
Gratis were out early, and got in some effec-
tive work before the Republicans learned
of their operations, and it was then too late
to do enough effective hedging, and the
Democrats sent out number of young
men with wagon loads of tinware from
farm. house to farmhouse and asked ex-
actly twice the value of the buckets, pans
and kettles. "The housewives" said the
Doctor, lifted their hands in holy horror
and wanted to know why 25-cent bucket
had doubled in price in such a short time.
The Mckinley bill did it, was the cry in
every instance, and it is, of course, not
necessary to say what the women thought

A Good Word for Railway owners.

There is a very general tendency now
visible in periodical literature to say
good word for the railroads.&c. least for
railroad shareholders. Men who own
railway property have received abuse
many years for evils some of which are
imaginary and some of which are brought
not by owners but by managers; and of
the latter class of evils the owners have
generally been the victims while the pub
lie has often been the beneficiary. In a
recent number of the Forum this was made
clear by Simon Sterne, from railway law
yer's point of view; and now in the No
yember number of the. same magazine
General Francis A. Walker, from the
point of view of the political economist,
reaches the same conclusion,

STANLEY REITERATEs 1T.
He Declares That Barttelot's Death Was
Deserving One.

Deserving One.
LONDON, November Sth.-The Times this
morning prints three column statement
from Stanley cabled by its New York CORE
spondent. In it Stanley reiterates the
charges of vindictive cruelty on the part of
Earttelot, and says he himself would have
acquitted the Majors murderer. He ac-
cuses Barttelot of harboring the widest
and most unbounded suspicious against
himself Stanley and other officers. STAN
ley accuses Jameson of having purchased a
girl for the sole purpose of having her
murdered so that a cannibalistic scene
might be furnished for his sketch-book.
The basis for this story was the sketches
shown him by the European.
The Times says, editorially, that if the
charges are true, they will compel all
Englishmen to execrate the memory of the
men who could bring such disgrace to the
nation. Proof against Jameson, however,
is deplorably vague. Walter Barttelot SAYS
SANKEY'S account is totally at variance with
others. He reiterates all his charges and
says Stanley's action in leaving Nelson's
party twenty three days without food re-
suited in the death of forty-seven of them.
WORD FROM WARD.
LONDON, November Sth.-The SUNDAY
Times prints an interview with Herbert
Ward, who declares that he never saw
Barttelot commit any acts rejecting on
his honor or that Stanley himself had not
committed. He was shocked that such
personalities had been published and sorry
to think that Stanley, in defending him
self, should seek to embroil him (Ward) in
quarrel lacking every sentiment of chiv-
airy for the dead and consideration for the
living.
Speaking from his own knowledge,
Barttelot never used excessive cruelty. He
says Stanley, in his opinion, fails to at
tribute the blame for the disaster to the
rear guard where it should be laid, namely,
upon Jansen, Administrator of the Congo
State, who neglected to send the steamer
up to camp. Had this been done, every
thing would have been saved.

Wilson, Superintendent of the West Point
Military Academy in his annual report,
says: There were 294 cadets at the acad-
envy on September /, 1889. Since that
date the loss has been eight by resignation,
twenty-five by discharge, two by death and
fifty-four by graduation. There have
been eighty-one new cadets admitted, max

mitted September l, $780,"
Colonel Wilson makes point of the dis
advantage under which the candidates who
enter in September are placed from lack of
drill and instruction, which their more
fortunate classmates have acquired during
the summer encampments. He earnestly

PHILADELPHIA, November Sth.-The In

the attempt of Jay Gould to bring disaster
