Chicago Real Estate Transfers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The report of the
real estate exchange shows that the
transfers of Chicago realty for the
three-quarters of a year ending today
reaches the enormous sum of $780,
500, 900. The average for the first
two quarters of this year were slightly
owe $50, 900, 900. The total for the
last quarter was $50, O46, 712, or a
slight falling off. The decrease of over
81, 600, 600 is due to the agitation over
the question of a sight for the worlds
fair, when for several weeks the realty
business was almost at a standstill. At
this rate the transfers for the year will
exceed 5000, 900, 900. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that from the present outlook the
transfers will not fall below $215, 000,-
600. or over 100 per cent more thap
in 1889.

The Ship Subsidy Bills.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Messrs. Far
quhar and Dingley, who represent the
shipping interests, have arranged with
Speaker Reed to have the ship subsidy
bills taken up during the first days Of
the next session. 1t is the best they
could do, for it was evident that the
house would not listen to a discussion
of the tonnage bills this session. As
it is the subsidy bill has a place in the
republican campaign book as one Of
the measures which this congress has
passed, for it was confidently expected
the matter would get through. The
delay is a sore disappointment to the
shipping localities. Aaron Vanderbilt
of New York has been about the CORR
doris of the house nfor q week in an
effort to spur members up to passing
the bill at once, but it has been no use,
and he goes home tonight.

A Bureau Of Public Comfort.

CHICAGO, Oct. director General
Davis has formulated a plan for a
bureau of public comfort in connection
with the coming worlds fair. 1t is the
design of the director general to de-
vote a large building to this bureau
and have it organized by the commits
sion with u large staff of officials and
attendants. 1t will be the business of
the bureau to receive visitors upon
their arrival and answer all questions
as to entertainment. They will be
directed to suitable hotels or lodging
houses, where the cost will be in ac-
cordance with what q visitor may
signify a wish to expend. 1t is in
tended that the bureau shall be open
at times for the reception of visitors
and their guidance in all matters when
information is sought. 1t is designed,
further, to prevent strangers being
fleeced or preyed upon by snap az
rangements which might entrap the
unwary. The bureau is to be con

Promotion of Army Officers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The so-called
'eXamination' bill, which provides
that before officers of the army shall
be promoted they shall be examined as
to their fitness and that if found de-
ficient upon the first examination shall
not be promoted, and if deficient upon
a second examination shall be dis
charged from the army, which has
been in conference for some days, has
at last been agreed to whereby an
amendment is made providing that
such examinations shall apply in their
strictness only to officers who are
graduates of a military academy, and
that officers of the army who served
during the late war as volunteers shall
be examined only as to their fitness
for practical service and not as to
their technical Or scientific knowledge.
The examinations of the veterans are
to be made by a board composed solely
of officers who served during the late
war. Another important provision of
this bill is that hereafter promotions
in the army shall not be in regiments
but in the arm of service to which the
officer belongs.
Senator Henderson, who was one OF
the cOnferees. said that the practical
workings of this bill will prevent the
crowding out of the service of those
officers whose fortune it was to have
served in the late war instead of re-
ceiving q military education at West
Point.

The Closing Hours of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-There was a
scene Of confusion about the capitol
yesterday. Every one was in a state
of nervous expectancy as the hands of
the clock moved along to the time
when the session of the Fifty-first con-
tgress would come to an end. Nervous
tfaces were everywhere. Men who had
spent months in trying to ecure the
passage of bills we're ~besieging men,
!bers to make a last effort. Women
implored congressman to get through
their private pension bills. Around
the doorways to the floor of the house
were crowds trying to get at members.
The clerks in the enrolling rooms were
up to their ears in work, for it is es-
sential that all the bills should be
transcribed on parchment and placed
before the president for his signature
before the session expired in order to
make them operative.
About 2 o'clock President Harrison
and Private Secretary Halford and the
entire cabinet arrived at the senate
end Of the capitol and proceeded to the
private room in the senate lobby known
as the presidents room. The arrival
of the distinguished party drew a
swarm of people to the senate CORR
dor and for a time the senate chamber
and the floor of the house were almost
deserted as senators and members left
their seats in order to pay their re-
spects to the president. 1t had been
the intention to make the visit pure
.ly a business one for. the purpose of
signing bills before the session Y
ipired, but it was soon transformed into
a reception. in which members of both
:parties took part.
First came Chairman Mckinley, the
hero of the present congress as far as
THE tariff is concerned, and with him
were Mcmillan, the democratic tariff
leader in the absence of Mr.. Mills.
Cannon, Turner and all the members
,of the ways and can committee in
town were among those received. The
work of signing bills proceeded rap
idly, the president asking the advice
:of his cabinet when a bill was reached
.iconcerning their respective depart
:ments. incidentally the president took
occasion to express his satisfaction at
the work of the present congress. the
final disposal of the tariff bill appear

VIII Refuse the Request.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-lt was I'M
derstood last night that the president
after carefully examining the CORES
pondence in the Barrundia affair, has
reached the conclusion that it is not
compatible with public interest to
transmit all of the papers to congress
at the present time and that, there
fore, none will be sent in answer to
the resolution recently passed by the
house. The decision of the president,
though based 10 doubt on good and
substantial reasons, excites some sur-
prise inasmuch as it was known that
the officials of the state department
had no objection to making public the
papers in the case. In fact, it is known
that they had given the committee on
foreign affairs assurance that the cor
re%spondence would promptly be sub
mitted to the house if a resolution
calling for the papers were passed.
The question of Miners recall, it is
believed, is not involved in the refusal
of the president to furnish the cores
pondence to the house. Such a step is
said not to have been considered yet.

HIS B0DY TURNED TO STONE.

CURIOUS CASE OF PETRIFICATION
AFTER DEATH.
There is a petrifed human body
in Atlanta.
Forty-five days ago Mr.. Edward
Soundstrong. an old Swedish chem
ist, died in Atlanta. His wife was
in Sweden on visit, and in order
that she might look once again on
the face of the man she had loved
many years, the body was given
to an undertaken to embalm.
The old mans body was filled
with the poisonous fluid used by
embalmers and placed in a casket
to await the arrival Of his wife.
There it has been ever since, but
a gradual change has been taking
place, a silent that was
unnoticed even to the practiced
eye of the embalmer.
A few days ago he noticed, how
ever, that the dead mans flesh was
chrystalizing and that t was TAX
ing on a whittier color. Day by
day the change went on, the face
growing whittier and more stony
than the fingers Of death had been
able to make it,
A few days ago the wife of the
old man arrived and her grief was
pitiful to see when she gazed on
her dead husbands face, which
was as hard and as white as that
of a statue chiseIed from a
block of marble.
Mr.. Bliley, the undertaken,
made a closer examination of the
body and found it to be as solid
as a rock of flint, AID as white as
a piece Of Italian marble.
The death of the old man was
caused from mercurial roison, and
the undertaken thinks the embalme
ing fluid coming in contact with
the mercurial poison caused the
petrifaction TO take place.
The body will be sent back to
Sweden and beneath the sod of the
land of his nativity the old chem
list will sleep until the rising of the
resurrection morn.
