no reason why he should go on
with the house, except that Mrs. Saw

( and as soon as three or four rooms were
ready for occupancy the senator and his
married daughter moved in. am told
that the senator, while proud of tho
house, Is oppressed by its vast size. All
the rooms seem empty because the wife

The finest house for the purposes OF
entertainment Of large crowds in Wash
ington is the British legation. The lega-
ton building is nearly as large as the
White House, and much more conven-
jointly arranged. All the rooms on The
lower floor. including a ballroom half "a
big as the east room. two or three large
drawing rooms. a dining room and n
number Of smaller rooms, can be thrown
into what is practically one huge apart
ment. along with long. wide hall. IL
is said by experts that the legation can
comfortably accommodate & larger num-
Der Of people than the White Hogse.
Above the drawing rooms on tho lower
floor. and running round the grand stair
case. is gallery on which two or three
hundred people can stand and overlook
the brilliant scene below. The British
legation house was for long time the
only one here owned by a foreign gov
erament. The bricks with which IL was
built were imported from England
Now the Mexican government has It's
own building IN Washington. When
the British minister bought the property
on which the legation house stands some
ten or twelve years ago, there was .
great outcry against him. II yrss charged
that the ste was away ont n the coun-
try. aud that the minister bad been play

British government in Washing n could
